3 6
4 7 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
5 8 with one from UserConfig.
6 9
7 10 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
8 11 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
9 12
10 13 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
11 14 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
12 15 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
13 16
14 17 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
15 18
16 19 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
17 20
18 21 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
19 22
20 23 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
21 24
22 25 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist

35 38 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
36 39 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
37 40 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
38 41 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
39 42 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
40 43 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.

42 45 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
43 46
44 47 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
45 48 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
46 49 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
47 50
48 51 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
49 52 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
50 53 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
51 54 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
52 55 funtionality in ipconfig.
53 56
54 57 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
55 58 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
56 59 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
57 60 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
58 61
59 62 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
60 63
61 64 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
62 65 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
63 66 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
64 67 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
65 68 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
66 69 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
67 70 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
68 71 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
69 72 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
70 73 descriptors.
71 74
72 75 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
73 76 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
74 77
75 78 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
76 79 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
77 80
78 81 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
79 82
80 83 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
81 84
82 85 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
83 86
84 87 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
85 88 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
86 89 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
87 90
88 91 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
89 92 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
90 93 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.

92 95 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
93 96 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
94 97 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
95 98 ipy_stock_completers.
96 99
97 100 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
98 101
99 102 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
100 103
101 104 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
102 105 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
103 106 when filtering possible completions.
104 107
105 108 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
106 109
107 110 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
108 111 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
109 112 function
110 113
111 114
112 115 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
113 116
114 117 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
115 118 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
116 119 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
117 120 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
118 121 SVN completer.
119 122
120 123 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
121 124 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
122 125 name is %led.
123 126
124 127 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
125 128
126 129 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
127 130 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
128 131 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
129 132
130 133 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
131 134 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
132 135 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
133 136 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
134 137 hook name is 'complete_command'.
135 138
136 139 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
137 140
138 141 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
139 142 Numeric leftovers.
140 143
141 144 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
142 145 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
143 146
144 147 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
145 148 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
146 149
147 150 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
148 151 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
149 152
150 153 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
151 154 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
152 155 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
153 156
154 157 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
155 158
156 159 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
157 160 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
158 161 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
159 162
160 163 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
161 164 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
162 165
163 166 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
164 167
165 168 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
166 169 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
167 170 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
168 171
169 172 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
170 173
171 174 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
172 175 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
173 176 internal crash handler.
174 177
175 178 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
176 179 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
177 180 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
178 181 at the request of SAGE.
179 182
180 183 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
181 184
182 185 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
183 186 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
184 187
185 188 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
186 189 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
187 190 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
188 191 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
189 192
190 193 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
191 194 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
192 195 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
193 196
194 197 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
195 198
196 199 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
197 200 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
198 201 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
199 202
200 203 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
201 204 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
202 205
203 206 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
204 207
205 208 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
206 209 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
207 210 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
208 211 Stefan.
209 212
210 213 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
211 214
212 215 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
213 216 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
214 217 sys.stdout.close().
215 218
216 219 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
217 220
218 221 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
219 222 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
220 223 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
221 224 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
222 225
223 226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
224 227 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
225 228 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
226 229
227 230 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
228 231 2.5.
229 232
230 233 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
231 234 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
232 235 interactively.
233 236
234 237 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
235 238
236 239 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
237 240 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
238 241
239 242 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
240 243
241 244 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
242 245 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
243 246 or only files.
244 247
245 248 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
246 249
247 250 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
248 251 they broke unittest
249 252
250 253 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
251 254
252 255 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
253 256 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
254 257 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
255 258 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
256 259
257 260 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
258 261
259 262 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
260 263 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
261 264 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
262 265 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
263 266 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
264 267
265 268 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
266 269
267 270 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
268 271 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
269 272
270 273 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
271 274
272 275 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
273 276 the mode argument).
274 277
275 278 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
276 279
277 280 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
278 281 not running under IPython.
279 282
280 283 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
281 284 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
282 285 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
283 286 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
284 287 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
285 288 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
286 289 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
287 290 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
288 291 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
289 292 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
290 293 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
291 294 are still supported.
292 295
293 296 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
294 297 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
295 298 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
296 299 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
297 300
298 301 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
299 302 encoding into methods.
300 303
301 304 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
302 305
303 306 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
304 307 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
305 308
306 309 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
307 310
308 311 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
309 312 non existing attributes.
310 313
311 314 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
312 315
313 316 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
314 317 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
315 318
316 319 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
317 320
318 321 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
319 322 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
320 323
321 324 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
322 325
323 326 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
324 327 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
325 328 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
326 329
327 330 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
328 331
329 332 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
330 333 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
331 334 Stefan van der Walt.
332 335
333 336 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
334 337
335 338 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
336 339 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
337 340
338 341 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
339 342
340 343 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
341 344 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
342 345 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
343 346
344 347 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
345 348
346 349 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
347 350 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
348 351 attributes.
349 352
350 353 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
351 354
352 355 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
353 356 commands into the methods implementing them.
354 357
355 358 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
356 359
357 360 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
358 361 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
359 362 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
360 363
361 364 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
362 365
363 366 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
364 367 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
365 368
366 369 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
367 370
368 371 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
369 372 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
370 373
371 374 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
372 375
373 376 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
374 377 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
375 378 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
376 379 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
377 380 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
378 381 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
379 382 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
380 383 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
381 384 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
382 385 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
383 386 the x key to "delete".
384 387
385 388 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
386 389
387 390 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
388 391 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
389 392 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
390 393 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
391 394
392 395 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
393 396 prompt
394 397
395 398 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
396 399
397 400 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
398 401
399 402 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
400 403 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
401 404 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
402 405 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
403 406
404 407 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
405 408
406 409 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
407 410 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
408 411 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
409 412 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
410 413 doesn't work properly yet.
411 414
412 415 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
413 416
414 417 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
415 418 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
416 419 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
417 420
418 421 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
419 422
420 423 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
421 424 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
422 425 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
423 426 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
424 427 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
425 428 execute commands.
426 429
427 430 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
428 431
429 432 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
430 433 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
431 434
432 435 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
433 436
434 437 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
435 438 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
436 439
437 440 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
438 441
439 442 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
440 443 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
441 444 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
442 445
443 446 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
444 447
445 448 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
446 449
447 450 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
448 451 Repo tagged and release cut.
449 452
450 453 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
451 454
452 455 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
453 456 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
454 457
455 458 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
456 459 (for %upgrade)
457 460
458 461 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
459 462
460 463 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
461 464 instead of looping 20 times.
462 465
463 466 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
464 467 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
465 468 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
466 469
467 470 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
468 471 testing for release on 06/06.
469 472
470 473 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
471 474
472 475 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
473 476 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
474 477 live in people's PATH.
475 478
476 479 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
477 480 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
478 481 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
479 482 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
480 483 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
481 484
482 485 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
483 486 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
484 487
485 488 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
486 489
487 490 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
488 491 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
489 492
490 493 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
491 494
492 495 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
493 496 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
494 497 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
495 498
496 499 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
497 500
498 501 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
499 502 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
500 503 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
501 504 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
502 505
503 506 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
504 507 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
505 508 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
506 509 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
507 510
508 511 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
509 512 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
510 513 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
511 514 work.
512 515
513 516 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
514 517
515 518 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
516 519 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
517 520
518 521 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
519 522 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
520 523 author William Stein.
521 524
522 525 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
523 526 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
524 527 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
525 528 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
526 529 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
527 530 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
528 531 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
529 532 objects more easily.
530 533
531 534 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
532 535
533 536 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
534 537 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
535 538 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
536 539 by Jeffrey Collins.
537 540
538 541 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
539 542 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
540 543 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
541 544 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
542 545
543 546 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
544 547 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
545 548 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
546 549 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
547 550
548 551 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
549 552 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
550 553 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
551 554 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
552 555 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
553 556 compatibility)
554 557
555 558 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
556 559 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
557 560 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
558 561
559 562 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
560 563 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
561 564 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
562 565 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
563 566 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
564 567
565 568 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
566 569 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
567 570 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
568 571
569 572 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
570 573 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
571 574 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
572 575 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
573 576 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
574 577 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
575 578 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
576 579
577 580 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
578 581 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
579 582 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
580 583
581 584 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
582 585 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
583 586 it is a real module. Closes #59.
584 587
585 588 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
586 589 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
587 590
588 591 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
589 592
590 593 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
591 594 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
592 595 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
593 596 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
594 597 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
595 598 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
596 599 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
597 600 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
598 601 while running under SAGE.
599 602
600 603 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
601 604
602 605 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
603 606 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
604 607 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
605 608 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
606 609
607 610 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
608 611
609 612 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
610 613 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
611 614 updated.
612 615
613 616 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
614 617 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
615 618 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
616 619 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
617 620 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
618 621
619 622 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
620 623 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
621 624 so more testing is needed...
622 625
623 626 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
624 627
625 628 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
626 629 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
627 630 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
628 631 when doing complex debugging.
629 632 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
630 633 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
631 634 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
632 635 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
633 636
634 637 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
635 638
636 639 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
637 640 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
638 641 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
639 642 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
640 643
641 644 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
642 645
643 646 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
644 647 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
645 648
646 649 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
647 650
648 651 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
649 652 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
650 653 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
651 654 been the one to acquire it.
652 655
653 656 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
654 657
655 658 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
656 659
657 660 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
658 661
659 662 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
660 663 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
661 664 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
662 665
663 666 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
664 667 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
665 668 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
666 669 properly flush the output cache.
667 670
668 671 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
669 672 half-success (and fail explicitly).
670 673
671 674 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
672 675
673 676 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
674 677 are quoted
675 678
676 679 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
677 680
678 681 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
679 682 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
680 683
681 684 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
682 685 separator, since space is legal in path names.
683 686
684 687 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
685 688
686 689 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
687 690 %upgrade magic
688 691
689 692 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
690 693
691 694 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
692 695 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
693 696 reported by Zachary Pincus.
694 697
695 698 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
696 699
697 700 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
698 701 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
699 702
700 703 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
701 704 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
702 705 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
703 706 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
704 707 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
705 708
706 709 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
707 710
708 711 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
709 712 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
710 713
711 714 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
712 715
713 716 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
714 717 Torsten Marek.
715 718
716 719 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
717 720
718 721 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
719 722 line ranges works again.
720 723
721 724 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
722 725
723 726 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
724 727 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
725 728 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
726 729 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
727 730 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
728 731
729 732 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
730 733 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
731 734 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
732 735 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
733 736 more.
734 737
735 738 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
736 739
737 740 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
738 741 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
739 742
740 743 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
741 744
742 745 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
743 746 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
744 747
745 748 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
746 749
747 750 * Magic.py: %save works again.
748 751
749 752 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
750 753
751 754 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
752 755
753 756 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
754 757 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
755 758 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
756 759
757 760 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
758 761
759 762 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
760 763 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
761 764 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
762 765 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
763 766
764 767 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
765 768 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
766 769
767 770 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
768 771 contributed by marienz to close
769 772 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
770 773
771 774 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
772 775
773 776 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
774 777
775 778 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
776 779 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
777 780 nonsense.
778 781
779 782 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
780 783
781 784 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
782 785 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
783 786
784 787 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
785 788
786 789 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
787 790
788 791 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
789 792 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
790 793
791 794 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
792 795
793 796 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
794 797 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
795 798 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
796 799 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
797 800 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
798 801 SAGE team.
799 802 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
800 803 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
801 804
802 805 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
803 806 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
804 807 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
805 808 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
806 809 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
807 810
808 811 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
809 812
810 813 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
811 814 correctly now (on Linux)
812 815
813 816 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
814 817 warnings
815 818
816 819 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
817 820
818 821 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
819 822
820 823
821 824 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
822 825
823 826 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
824 827 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
825 828 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
826 829 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
827 830 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
828 831 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
829 832 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
830 833 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
831 834
832 835 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
833 836
834 837 * aliases can now be %store'd
835 838
836 839 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
837 840 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
838 841 at __init__.
839 842
840 843 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
841 844 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
842 845
843 846 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
844 847
845 848 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
846 849 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
847 850 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
848 851
849 852 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
850 853
851 854 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
852 855
853 856 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
854 857
855 858 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
856 859 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
857 860 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
858 861 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
859 862
860 863 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
861 864 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
862 865
863 866 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
864 867
865 868 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
866 869 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
867 870 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
868 871 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
869 872
870 873 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
871 874 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
872 875 usage.
873 876
874 877 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
875 878 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
876 879 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
877 880
878 881 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
879 882
880 883 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
881 884 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
882 885
883 886 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
884 887 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
885 888 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
886 889
887 890 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
888 891
889 892 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
890 893
891 894 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
892 895
893 896 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
894 897 are now more helpful:
895 898 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
896 899
897 900 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
898 901
899 902 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
900 903 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
901 904
902 905 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
903 906
904 907 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
905 908 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
906 909
907 910 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
908 911 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
909 912 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
910 913
911 914 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
912 915
913 916
914 917 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
915 918
916 919 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
917 920 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
918 921
919 922 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
920 923
921 924 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
922 925 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
923 926 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
924 927 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
925 928 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
926 929 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
927 930
928 931 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
929 932
930 933 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
931 934 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
932 935 \python24\scripts).
933 936
934 937 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
935 938 egg.
936 939
937 940 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
938 941
939 942 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
940 943
941 944 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
942 945
943 946 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
944 947
945 948 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
946 949
947 950 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
948 951 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
949 952 \python24\scripts).
950 953
951 954 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
952 955 egg.
953 956
954 957 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
955 958
956 959 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
957 960 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
958 961 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
959 962
960 963 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
961 964 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
962 965 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
963 966 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
964 967
965 968 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
966 969 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
967 970 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
968 971 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
969 972 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
970 973 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
971 974 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
972 975 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
973 976 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
974 977 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
975 978 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
976 979 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
977 980
978 981 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
979 982
980 983 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
981 984 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
982 985 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
983 986 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
984 987
985 988 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
986 989
987 990 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
988 991 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
989 992 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
990 993 importing extensions easy.
991 994
992 995 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
993 996 classes / instances of those classes.
994 997
995 998 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
996 999 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
997 1000 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
998 1001 the user.
999 1002
1000 1003 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1001 1004 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1002 1005 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1003 1006
1004 1007 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1005 1008
1006 1009 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1007 1010 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1008 1011 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1009 1012 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1010 1013 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1011 1014 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1012 1015 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1013 1016 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1014 1017 the method.
1015 1018
1016 1019 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1017 1020
1018 1021 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1019 1022 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1020 1023
1021 1024 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1022 1025
1023 1026 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1024 1027 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1025 1028 Vivian.
1026 1029
1027 1030 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1028 1031 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1029 1032 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1030 1033 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1031 1034 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1032 1035
1033 1036 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1034 1037
1035 1038 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1036 1039 that returns file contents on exit.
1037 1040
1038 1041 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1039 1042 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1040 1043 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1041 1044 sc files=ls
1042 1045 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1043 1046 print p,p.mtime
1044 1047
1045 1048 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1046 1049 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1047 1050 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1048 1051 instead of syntax error.
1049 1052
1050 1053
1051 1054 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1052 1055
1053 1056 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1054 1057 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1055 1058 data.
1056 1059
1057 1060 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1058 1061 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1059 1062 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1060 1063 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1061 1064
1062 1065 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1063 1066 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1064 1067 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1065 1068 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1066 1069 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1067 1070 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1068 1071
1069 1072 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1070 1073
1071 1074 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1072 1075 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1073 1076 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1074 1077 current dir.
1075 1078
1076 1079 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1077 1080 had to create new files.
1078 1081
1079 1082 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1080 1083 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1081 1084 future.
1082 1085
1083 1086 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1084 1087 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1085 1088 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1086 1089
1087 1090
1088 1091 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1089 1092
1090 1093 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1091 1094 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1092 1095 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1093 1096 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1094 1097 later.
1095 1098
1096 1099 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1097 1100 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1098 1101
1099 1102 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1100 1103
1101 1104 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1102 1105 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1103 1106 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1104 1107 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1105 1108 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1106 1109 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1107 1110
1108 1111 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1109 1112
1110 1113 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1111 1114 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1112 1115 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1113 1116 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1114 1117 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1115 1118 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1116 1119 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1117 1120 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1118 1121 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1119 1122 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1120 1123
1121 1124 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1122 1125 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1123 1126 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1124 1127 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1125 1128
1126 1129 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1127 1130 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1128 1131 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1129 1132 "setup.py install" between changes).
1130 1133
1131 1134 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1132 1135 if 1:
1133 1136 !ls
1134 1137 !!ls
1135 1138
1136 1139 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1137 1140
1138 1141 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1139 1142 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1140 1143 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1141 1144 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1142 1145
1143 1146 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1144 1147 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1145 1148 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1146 1149
1147 1150 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1148 1151
1149 1152 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1150 1153 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1151 1154 win32.
1152 1155
1153 1156 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1154 1157
1155 1158 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1156 1159
1157 1160 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1158 1161 ready for release.
1159 1162
1160 1163 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1161 1164 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1162 1165 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1163 1166 where to copy the info from.
1164 1167
1165 1168 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1166 1169
1167 1170 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1168 1171 support in the release tools as well.
1169 1172
1170 1173 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1171 1174
1172 1175 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1173 1176 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1174 1177 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1175 1178 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1176 1179
1177 1180 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1178 1181 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1179 1182 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1180 1183
1181 1184 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1182 1185 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1183 1186
1184 1187 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1185 1188 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1186 1189 printer not to work.
1187 1190
1188 1191 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1189 1192
1190 1193 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1191 1194 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1192 1195
1193 1196 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1194 1197
1195 1198 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1196 1199 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1197 1200 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1198 1201
1199 1202 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1200 1203 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1201 1204 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1202 1205
1203 1206 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1204 1207 Ville's patch.
1205 1208
1206 1209 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1207 1210
1208 1211 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1209 1212 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1210 1213 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1211 1214 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1212 1215 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1213 1216 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1214 1217 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1215 1218
1216 1219 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1217 1220 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1218 1221 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1219 1222
1220 1223 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1221 1224
1222 1225 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1223 1226 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1224 1227
1225 1228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1226 1229 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1227 1230 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1228 1231 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1229 1232 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1230 1233 twister).
1231 1234
1232 1235 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1233 1236 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1234 1237 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1235 1238
1236 1239 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1237 1240 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1238 1241 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1239 1242 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1240 1243 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1241 1244 something inside the dis module.
1242 1245
1243 1246 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1244 1247
1245 1248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1246 1249 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1247 1250 follows the discussion in
1248 1251 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1249 1252
1250 1253 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1251 1254 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1252 1255 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1253 1256
1254 1257 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1255 1258 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1256 1259 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1257 1260
1258 1261 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1259 1262 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1260 1263 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1261 1264 speed up this routine.
1262 1265
1263 1266 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1264 1267 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1265 1268 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1266 1269 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1267 1270 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1268 1271 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1269 1272 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1270 1273 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1271 1274
1272 1275 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1273 1276 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1274 1277 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1275 1278
1276 1279 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1277 1280 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1278 1281 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1279 1282 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1280 1283 setters don't do anything).
1281 1284
1282 1285 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1283 1286
1284 1287 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1285 1288 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1286 1289 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1287 1290 falling out of sync...)
1288 1291
1289 1292 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1290 1293 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1291 1294 as loops).
1292 1295
1293 1296 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1294 1297 win32 system access.
1295 1298
1296 1299 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1297 1300
1298 1301 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1299 1302 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1300 1303 thread-safe.
1301 1304 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1302 1305 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1303 1306 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1304 1307 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1305 1308 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1306 1309 can still happen.
1307 1310 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1308 1311 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1309 1312 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1310 1313 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1311 1314 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1312 1315 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1313 1316 cleanly.
1314 1317
1315 1318 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1316 1319 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1317 1320 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1318 1321 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1319 1322 users' persisted data.
1320 1323
1321 1324 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1322 1325 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1323 1326 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1324 1327 multiline input (such as macros).
1325 1328
1326 1329 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1327 1330 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1328 1331 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1329 1332 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1330 1333 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1331 1334 informative).
1332 1335
1333 1336 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1334 1337 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1335 1338
1336 1339 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1337 1340 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1338 1341 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1339 1342
1340 1343 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1341 1344 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1342 1345 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1343 1346 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1344 1347 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1345 1348 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1346 1349 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1347 1350 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1348 1351 details.
1349 1352
1350 1353 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1351 1354 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1352 1355 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1353 1356 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1354 1357 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1355 1358
1356 1359 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1357 1360 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1358 1361 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1359 1362 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1360 1363 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1361 1364
1362 1365 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1363 1366 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1364 1367 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1365 1368 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1366 1369 options to %logstart. Closes
1367 1370 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1368 1371 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1369 1372
1370 1373 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1371 1374
1372 1375 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1373 1376 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1374 1377 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1375 1378 list:
1376 1379 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1377 1380
1378 1381 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1379 1382
1380 1383 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1381 1384 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1382 1385 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1383 1386 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1384 1387
1385 1388 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1386 1389 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1387 1390 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1388 1391 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1389 1392 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1390 1393
1391 1394 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1392 1395 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1393 1396 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1394 1397 true by default.
1395 1398
1396 1399 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1397 1400 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1398 1401 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1399 1402 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1400 1403
1401 1404 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1402 1405
1403 1406 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1404 1407 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1405 1408 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1406 1409 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1407 1410 version committed).
1408 1411
1409 1412 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1410 1413 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1411 1414 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1412 1415 discussion on the user list.
1413 1416
1414 1417 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1415 1418 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1416 1419 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1417 1420 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1418 1421
1419 1422 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1420 1423
1421 1424 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1422 1425 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1423 1426 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1424 1427
1425 1428 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1426 1429 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1427 1430 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1428 1431
1429 1432 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1430 1433 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1431 1434 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1432 1435 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1433 1436 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1434 1437 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1435 1438 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1436 1439 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1437 1440 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1438 1441 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1439 1442 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1440 1443 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1441 1444 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1442 1445 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1443 1446 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1444 1447 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1445 1448 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1446 1449 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1447 1450 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1448 1451 branch refactoring.
1449 1452
1450 1453 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1451 1454
1452 1455 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1453 1456 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1454 1457
1455 1458 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1456 1459 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1457 1460 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1458 1461 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1459 1462 worked correctly).
1460 1463
1461 1464 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1462 1465 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1463 1466 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1464 1467
1465 1468 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1466 1469
1467 1470 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1468 1471 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1469 1472 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1470 1473 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1471 1474 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1472 1475 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1473 1476 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1474 1477 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1475 1478
1476 1479 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1477 1480
1478 1481 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1479 1482 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1480 1483 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1481 1484 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1482 1485 on this.
1483 1486
1484 1487 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1485 1488
1486 1489 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1487 1490 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1488 1491 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1489 1492 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1490 1493 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1491 1494
1492 1495 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1493 1496
1494 1497 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1495 1498 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1496 1499 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1497 1500 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1498 1501
1499 1502 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1500 1503
1501 1504 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1502 1505 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1503 1506 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1504 1507
1505 1508 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1506 1509
1507 1510 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1508 1511 startup time.
1509 1512
1510 1513 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1511 1514 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1512 1515 it's working in all cases.
1513 1516
1514 1517 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1515 1518 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1516 1519 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1517 1520 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1518 1521 per-search basis.
1519 1522
1520 1523 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1521 1524
1522 1525 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1523 1526 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1524 1527 of a patch by Jorgen.
1525 1528
1526 1529 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1527 1530
1528 1531 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1529 1532 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1530 1533 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1531 1534
1532 1535 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1533 1536
1534 1537 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1535 1538 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1536 1539 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1537 1540 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1538 1541
1539 1542 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1540 1543
1541 1544 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1542 1545 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1543 1546 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1544 1547 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1545 1548 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1546 1549 implementing this functionality.
1547 1550
1548 1551 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1549 1552
1550 1553 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1551 1554 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1552 1555 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1553 1556 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1554 1557 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1555 1558 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1556 1559 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1557 1560
1558 1561 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1559 1562
1560 1563 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1561 1564 reported by Stephen Walton.
1562 1565
1563 1566 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1564 1567
1565 1568 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1566 1569
1567 1570 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1568 1571 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1569 1572
1570 1573 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1571 1574
1572 1575 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1573 1576 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1574 1577
1575 1578 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1576 1579 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1577 1580
1578 1581 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1579 1582
1580 1583 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1581 1584 finishing.
1582 1585
1583 1586 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1584 1587 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1585 1588
1586 1589 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1587 1590 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1588 1591 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1589 1592
1590 1593 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1591 1594 code, handy in general.
1592 1595
1593 1596 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1594 1597 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1595 1598 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1596 1599
1597 1600 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1598 1601
1599 1602 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1600 1603 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1601 1604 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1602 1605 testing, though.
1603 1606 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1604 1607 like this before...
1605 1608
1606 1609 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1607 1610 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1608 1611
1609 1612 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1610 1613 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1611 1614
1612 1615 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1613 1616
1614 1617 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1615 1618 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1616 1619 F. Mantegazza.
1617 1620
1618 1621 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1619 1622
1620 1623 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1621 1624 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1622 1625 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1623 1626
1624 1627 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1625 1628 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1626 1629 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1627 1630 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1628 1631 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1629 1632 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1630 1633
1631 1634 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1632 1635
1633 1636 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1634 1637 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1635 1638 beyond readline-based environments.
1636 1639
1637 1640 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1638 1641
1639 1642 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1640 1643
1641 1644 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1642 1645 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1643 1646 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1644 1647 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1645 1648 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1646 1649
1647 1650 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1648 1651
1649 1652 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1650 1653 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1651 1654 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1652 1655
1653 1656 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1654 1657
1655 1658 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1656 1659
1657 1660 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1658 1661
1659 1662 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1660 1663 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1661 1664 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1662 1665 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1663 1666 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1664 1667 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1665 1668
1666 1669 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1667 1670
1668 1671 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1669 1672
1670 1673 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1671 1674
1672 1675 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1673 1676 invalid $HOME under win32.
1674 1677
1675 1678 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1676 1679
1677 1680 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1678 1681 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1679 1682 simpler and a bit faster.
1680 1683
1681 1684 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1682 1685 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1683 1686 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1684 1687 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1685 1688 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1686 1689
1687 1690 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1688 1691 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1689 1692 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1690 1693
1691 1694 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1692 1695 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1693 1696
1694 1697 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1695 1698 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1696 1699 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1697 1700 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1698 1701 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1699 1702 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1700 1703 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1701 1704
1702 1705 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1703 1706
1704 1707 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1705 1708
1706 1709 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1707 1710
1708 1711 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1709 1712 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
1710 1713
1711 1714 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1712 1715
1713 1716 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1714 1717 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1715 1718 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1716 1719 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1717 1720 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1718 1721 for the contribution.
1719 1722
1720 1723 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1721 1724 slightly modified version of the patch in
1722 1725 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1723 1726 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1724 1727 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
1725 1728
1726 1729 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1727 1730
1728 1731 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1729 1732 I/O a bit more.
1730 1733
1731 1734 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1732 1735 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
1733 1736
1734 1737 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
1735 1738
1736 1739 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1737 1740
1738 1741 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1739 1742 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1740 1743 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1741 1744 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1742 1745
1743 1746 readline_remove_delims -/~
1744 1747
1745 1748
1746 1749 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

1748 1751 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1749 1752
1750 1753 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
1751 1754 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
1752 1755 <eli@gondolin.net>
1753 1756
1754 1757 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1755 1758
1756 1759 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
1757 1760 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
1758 1761
1759 1762 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1760 1763
1761 1764 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1762 1765 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1763 1766 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
1764 1767
1765 1768 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1766 1769
1767 1770 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1768 1771 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1769 1772
1770 1773 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1771 1774
1772 1775 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1773 1776 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1774 1777
1775 1778 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1776 1779 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1777 1780 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1778 1781 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1779 1782 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1780 1783 for more details.
1781 1784
1782 1785 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1783 1786 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1784 1787 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1785 1788 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
1786 1789
1787 1790 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1788 1791
1789 1792 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1790 1793 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1791 1794 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1792 1795 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1793 1796 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1794 1797
1795 1798 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1796 1799 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1797 1800 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1798 1801
1799 1802 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1800 1803
1801 1804 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
1802 1805
1803 1806 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1804 1807
1805 1808 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1806 1809 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1807 1810 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1808 1811 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1809 1812 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1810 1813
1811 1814 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1812 1815
1813 1816 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1814 1817
1815 1818 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1816 1819 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1817 1820 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1818 1821 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1819 1822 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1820 1823
1821 1824 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1822 1825 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1823 1826 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1824 1827 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1825 1828 take the text parameter.
1826 1829
1827 1830 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1828 1831 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1829 1832 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1830 1833 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1831 1834 pysh profile to include the line
1832 1835
1833 1836 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1834 1837
1835 1838 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1836 1839 delete pysh.py and the line
1837 1840
1838 1841 execfile pysh.py
1839 1842
1840 1843 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1841 1844
1842 1845 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1843 1846 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1844 1847 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1845 1848 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1846 1849 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1847 1850
1848 1851 * pysh.py:
1849 1852
1850 1853 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1851 1854
1852 1855 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1853 1856 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1854 1857 want it can still turn it off.
1855 1858
1856 1859 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1857 1860 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1858 1861 off by default.
1859 1862
1860 1863 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1861 1864 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1862 1865 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1863 1866 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1864 1867 calls.
1865 1868
1866 1869 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1867 1870
1868 1871 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1869 1872 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1870 1873 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1871 1874
1872 1875 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1873 1876
1874 1877 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1875 1878 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1876 1879 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1877 1880 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1878 1881
1879 1882 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1880 1883 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1881 1884 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1882 1885 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1883 1886
1884 1887 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1885 1888
1886 1889 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1887 1890 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1888 1891
1889 1892 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1890 1893 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1891 1894 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1892 1895 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1893 1896 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1894 1897 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1895 1898 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1896 1899 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1897 1900
1898 1901 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1899 1902
1900 1903 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1901 1904 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1902 1905 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1903 1906 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1904 1907 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1905 1908 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1906 1909 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1907 1910 add new completers at runtime.
1908 1911
1909 1912 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1910 1913
1911 1914 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1912 1915 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1913 1916 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1914 1917 ? system.
1915 1918
1916 1919 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1917 1920 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1918 1921 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1919 1922 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1920 1923 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1921 1924 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1922 1925 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1923 1926 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1924 1927
1925 1928 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1926 1929
1927 1930 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1928 1931 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1929 1932 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1930 1933 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1931 1934 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1932 1935
1933 1936 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1934 1937 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1935 1938 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1936 1939 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1937 1940 add:
1938 1941
1939 1942 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1940 1943 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
1941 1944
1942 1945 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1943 1946
1944 1947 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1945 1948 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1946 1949 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1947 1950 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1948 1951
1949 1952 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1950 1953 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1951 1954 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1952 1955 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1953 1956 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1954 1957 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1955 1958 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1956 1959 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1957 1960 further, simply bind them to any other name.

1959 1962 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1960 1963
1961 1964 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1962 1965 prompt namespace handling.
1963 1966
1964 1967 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1965 1968
1966 1969 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1967 1970 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1968 1971 trips the emacs python mode).
1969 1972 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1970 1973 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1971 1974 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1972 1975 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1973 1976 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1974 1977 calls will be made at runtime.
1975 1978
1976 1979 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1977 1980
1978 1981 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1979 1982 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1980 1983 the call to %history.
1981 1984

1984 1987 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1985 1988
1986 1989 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1987 1990 ipmagic() function calls.
1988 1991
1989 1992 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1990 1993 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1991 1994
1992 1995 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1993 1996
1994 1997 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1995 1998 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1996 1999 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1997 2000 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1998 2001 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1999 2002 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2000 2003 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2001 2004 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.

2003 2006 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2004 2007
2005 2008 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2006 2009 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2007 2010 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2008 2011 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2009 2012 Ville Vainio.

2011 2014 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2012 2015
2013 2016 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2014 2017 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2015 2018 define the ones they personally like.
2016 2019
2017 2020 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2018 2021
2019 2022 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2020 2023 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2021 2024
2022 2025 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2023 2026
2024 2027 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2025 2028 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2026 2029
2027 2030 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2028 2031 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2029 2032 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2030 2033 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2031 2034 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2032 2035 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2033 2036 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2034 2037 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2035 2038
2036 2039 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2037 2040 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2038 2041 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2039 2042 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2040 2043 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2043 2046
2044 2047 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2045 2048 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2046 2049 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2047 2050
2048 2051 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2049 2052 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2050 2053 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2051 2054

2054 2057 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2055 2058
2056 2059 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2057 2060 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2058 2061 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2059 2062 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2060 2063 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2061 2064 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2062 2065 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2063 2066 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2064 2067 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2065 2068 system is a separate implementation).
2066 2069
2067 2070 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2068 2071 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2069 2072 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2070 2073 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2071 2074 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2072 2075 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2073 2076 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2074 2077 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2075 2078 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2076 2079 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2077 2080 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2078 2081
2079 2082 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2080 2083
2081 2084 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2082 2085 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2083 2086 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2084 2087 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2085 2088 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2086 2089 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2087 2090 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2088 2091 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2089 2092
2090 2093 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2091 2094
2092 2095 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2093 2096 previous call produced a syntax error.
2094 2097
2095 2098 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2096 2099 classes without constructor.
2097 2100
2098 2101 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2099 2102
2100 2103 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2101 2104 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2102 2105 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2103 2106 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2104 2107 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2105 2108 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2106 2109 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2107 2110
2108 2111 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2109 2112
2110 2113 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2111 2114 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2112 2115
2113 2116 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2114 2117
2115 2118 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2116 2119 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2117 2120 optimizations.
2118 2121
2119 2122 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2120 2123 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2121 2124
2122 2125 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2123 2126
2124 2127 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2125 2128 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2126 2129 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2127 2130 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2128 2131 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2129 2132 avoid annoying the lists further.
2130 2133

2133 2136 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2134 2137
2135 2138 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2136 2139 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2137 2140 norm definitions.
2138 2141 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2139 2142 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2140 2143 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2141 2144
2142 2145 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2143 2146 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2144 2147 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2145 2148 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2146 2149 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2147 2150
2148 2151 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2149 2152 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2150 2153 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2151 2154 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2152 2155
2153 2156 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2154 2157 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2155 2158 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2156 2159 fixes.
2157 2160
2158 2161 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2159 2162 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2160 2163 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2161 2164 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2162 2165 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2163 2166 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2164 2167 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2168 2171 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2169 2172
2170 2173 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2171 2174 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2172 2175 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2173 2176 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2174 2177 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2175 2178 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2176 2179 Panel.
2177 2180
2178 2181 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2179 2182 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2180 2183 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2181 2184 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2182 2185 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2183 2186
2184 2187 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2185 2188
2186 2189 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2187 2190 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2188 2191
2189 2192 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8

2191 2194 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2192 2195
2193 2196 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2194 2197 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2195 2198 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2196 2199 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2197 2200 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2198 2201 python shell.
2199 2202
2200 2203 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2201 2204 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2202 2205 on assignments. This closes
2203 2206 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2204 2207 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2205 2208 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2206 2209
2207 2210 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2208 2211
2209 2212 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2210 2213 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2211 2214
2212 2215 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7

2218 2221
2219 2222 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2220 2223
2221 2224 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2222 2225 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2223 2226 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2224 2227
2225 2228 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2226 2229
2227 2230 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2228 2231 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2229 2232 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2230 2233
2231 2234 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2232 2235
2233 2236 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2234 2237 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2235 2238 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2236 2239
2237 2240 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2238 2241 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2239 2242 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2240 2243
2241 2244 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2242 2245
2243 2246 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2244 2247 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2245 2248
2246 2249 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2247 2250
2248 2251 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2249 2252 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2250 2253 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2251 2254
2252 2255 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2253 2256
2254 2257 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2255 2258 reported by Prabhu.
2256 2259 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2257 2260 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2258 2261 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2259 2262
2260 2263 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2261 2264 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2262 2265
2263 2266 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2264 2267 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2265 2268 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2266 2269 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2267 2270 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2268 2271 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.

2272 2275 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2273 2276
2274 2277 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2275 2278 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2276 2279 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2277 2280 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2278 2281
2279 2282 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2280 2283 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2281 2284
2282 2285 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2283 2286 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2284 2287 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2285 2288 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2286 2289 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2287 2290 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2288 2291 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2289 2292
2290 2293 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2291 2294 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2292 2295 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2293 2296
2294 2297 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2295 2298 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2296 2299 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2297 2300 before.
2298 2301
2299 2302 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2300 2303
2301 2304 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2302 2305 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2303 2306 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2304 2307 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2305 2308
2306 2309 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2307 2310 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2308 2311 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2309 2312 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2310 2313 timing very short-running code.
2311 2314
2312 2315 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2313 2316 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2314 2317 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2315 2318 utility.
2316 2319
2317 2320 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2318 2321 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2319 2322 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2320 2323 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2321 2324 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2322 2325 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2323 2326 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2324 2327 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2325 2328
2326 2329 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2327 2330 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2328 2331 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2329 2332
2330 2333 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2331 2334 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2332 2335 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2333 2336 is for).
2334 2337
2335 2338 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2336 2339 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2337 2340 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2338 2341 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2339 2342 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2340 2343
2341 2344 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2342 2345
2343 2346 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2344 2347 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2345 2348 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2346 2349 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2347 2350 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2348 2351
2349 2352 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2350 2353 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2351 2354 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2352 2355 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2353 2356 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2354 2357 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2355 2358
2356 2359 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2357 2360
2358 2361 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2359 2362 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2360 2363
2361 2364 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2362 2365
2363 2366 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2364 2367 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2365 2368 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2366 2369 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2367 2370
2368 2371 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2369 2372
2370 2373 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2371 2374
2372 2375 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2373 2376 setting with -d option.
2374 2377
2375 2378 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2376 2379 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2377 2380 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2378 2381 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2379 2382
2380 2383 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2384
2382 2385 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2383 2386 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2384 2387
2385 2388 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2386 2389 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2387 2390 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2388 2391 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2389 2392 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2390 2393 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2391 2394 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2392 2395 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2393 2396 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2394 2397 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2395 2398 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2396 2399
2397 2400 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2398 2401
2399 2402 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2400 2403 cache when empty lines were present.
2401 2404
2402 2405 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2403 2406
2404 2407 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2405 2408 options for WX and GTK.
2406 2409
2407 2410 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2408 2411
2409 2412 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2410 2413 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2411 2414 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2412 2415 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2413 2416 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2414 2417 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2415 2418 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2416 2419
2417 2420 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2418 2421 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2419 2422
2420 2423 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2421 2424
2422 2425 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2423 2426 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2424 2427 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2425 2428 many thanks.
2426 2429
2427 2430 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2428 2431 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2429 2432 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2430 2433
2431 2434 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2432 2435
2433 2436 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2434 2437 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2435 2438 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2436 2439
2437 2440 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2438 2441
2439 2442 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2440 2443
2441 2444 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2442 2445 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2443 2446 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2444 2447
2445 2448 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2446 2449
2447 2450 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2448 2451 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2449 2452
2450 2453 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2451 2454
2452 2455 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2453 2456 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2454 2457 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2455 2458 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2456 2459 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2457 2460 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2458 2461 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2459 2462
2460 2463 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2461 2464
2462 2465 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2463 2466 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2464 2467 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2465 2468 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2466 2469
2467 2470 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2468 2471 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2469 2472
2470 2473 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2471 2474
2472 2475 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2473 2476 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2474 2477
2475 2478 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2476 2479 use throughout ipython.
2477 2480
2478 2481 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2479 2482 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2480 2483
2481 2484 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2482 2485 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2483 2486 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2484 2487 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2485 2488
2486 2489 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2487 2490
2488 2491 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2489 2492 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2490 2493 report by Francesc Alted.
2491 2494
2492 2495 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2493 2496
2494 2497 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2495 2498 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2496 2499
2497 2500 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2498 2501
2499 2502 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2500 2503 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2501 2504 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2502 2505 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2503 2506 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2504 2507 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2505 2508 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2506 2509 correctly set.
2507 2510
2508 2511 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2509 2512
2510 2513 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2511 2514 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2512 2515 import requirement of PEP-328.
2513 2516
2514 2517 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2515 2518 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2516 2519 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2517 2520 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2518 2521
2519 2522 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2520 2523
2521 2524 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2522 2525
2523 2526 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2524 2527 via a normal python function call.
2525 2528
2526 2529 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2527 2530 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2528 2531 2.4.
2529 2532
2530 2533 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2531 2534
2532 2535 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2533 2536 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2534 2537 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2535 2538 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2536 2539 is given to the user).
2537 2540
2538 2541 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2539 2542
2540 2543 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2541 2544 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2542 2545 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2543 2546 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2544 2547
2545 2548 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2546 2549 python 2.2.
2547 2550
2548 2551 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2549 2552 banner arg for embedded customization.
2550 2553
2551 2554 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2552 2555 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2553 2556 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2554 2557 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2555 2558 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2556 2559 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2557 2560
2558 2561 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2559 2562 minor changes to debian dir.
2560 2563
2561 2564 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2562 2565 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2563 2566 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2564 2567 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2565 2568
2566 2569 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2567 2570
2568 2571 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2569 2572 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2570 2573 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2571 2574 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2572 2575 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2573 2576
2574 2577 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2575 2578
2576 2579 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2577 2580 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2578 2581
2579 2582 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2580 2583
2581 2584 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2582 2585 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2583 2586
2584 2587 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2585 2588
2586 2589 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2587 2590
2588 2591 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2589 2592 updated.
2590 2593
2591 2594 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2592 2595
2593 2596 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2594 2597 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2595 2598 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2596 2599 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2597 2600 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2598 2601
2599 2602 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2600 2603 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2601 2604 split regexp. Closes
2602 2605 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2603 2606 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2604 2607 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2605 2608 extensions.
2606 2609
2607 2610 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2608 2611 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2609 2612 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2610 2613 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2611 2614 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2612 2615
2613 2616 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2614 2617 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2615 2618 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2616 2619 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2617 2620
2618 2621 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2619 2622 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2620 2623
2621 2624 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2622 2625 fine-tune banner.
2623 2626
2624 2627 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2625 2628 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2626 2629
2627 2630 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2628 2631
2629 2632 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2630 2633 were missing.
2631 2634
2632 2635 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2633 2636 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2634 2637 valid at the command line.
2635 2638
2636 2639 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2637 2640 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2638 2641
2639 2642 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2640 2643
2641 2644 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2642 2645 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2643 2646 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2644 2647
2645 2648 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2646 2649
2647 2650 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2648 2651 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2649 2652 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2650 2653 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2651 2654 continue to use the standard profiler.

2653 2656 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2654 2657
2655 2658 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2656 2659 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2657 2660 close.
2658 2661
2659 2662 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2660 2663
2661 2664 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2662 2665 in Magic and ultraTB.
2663 2666
2664 2667 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2665 2668
2666 2669 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2667 2670 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2668 2671 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2669 2672 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2670 2673
2671 2674 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2672 2675 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2673 2676 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2674 2677 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2675 2678 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2676 2679 infrastructure in place.
2677 2680
2678 2681 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2679 2682
2680 2683 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2681 2684
2682 2685 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2683 2686 the pylab profile.
2684 2687
2685 2688 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2686 2689
2687 2690 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2688 2691
2689 2692 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2690 2693 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2691 2694 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2692 2695 itself.
2693 2696
2694 2697 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2695 2698 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2696 2699 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2697 2700 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2698 2701 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2699 2702 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2700 2703 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2701 2704 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2702 2705
2703 2706 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2704 2707 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2705 2708
2706 2709 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2707 2710
2708 2711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2709 2712 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2710 2713 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2711 2714
2712 2715 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2713 2716
2714 2717 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2715 2718 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2716 2719
2717 2720 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2718 2721
2719 2722 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2720 2723
2721 2724 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2722 2725
2723 2726 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2724 2727
2725 2728 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2726 2729 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2727 2730 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2728 2731
2729 2732 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2730 2733
2731 2734 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2732 2735 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2733 2736 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2734 2737 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2735 2738 works.
2736 2739
2737 2740 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2738 2741 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2739 2742 practice.
2740 2743
2741 2744 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2742 2745
2743 2746 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2744 2747 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2745 2748 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2746 2749
2747 2750 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2748 2751
2749 2752 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2750 2753 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2751 2754 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2752 2755 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2753 2756
2754 2757 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2755 2758
2756 2759 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2757 2760 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2758 2761 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2759 2762 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2760 2763
2761 2764 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2762 2765
2763 2766 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2764 2767
2765 2768 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2766 2769 fail for any number.
2767 2770 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2768 2771 empty bookmarks.
2769 2772
2770 2773 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2771 2774
2772 2775 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2773 2776
2774 2777 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2775 2778
2776 2779 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2777 2780 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2778 2781
2779 2782 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2780 2783 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2781 2784
2782 2785 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2783 2786
2784 2787 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2785 2788 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2786 2789 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2787 2790 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2788 2791 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2789 2792
2790 2793 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2791 2794
2792 2795 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2793 2796 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2794 2797
2795 2798 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2796 2799
2797 2800 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2798 2801 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2799 2802 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2800 2803 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2801 2804
2802 2805 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2803 2806 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2804 2807 Schmolck.
2805 2808
2806 2809 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2807 2810
2808 2811 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2809 2812
2810 2813 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2811 2814 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2812 2815
2813 2816 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2814 2817 optimizations.
2815 2818
2816 2819 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2817 2820 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2818 2821
2819 2822 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2820 2823 --Started changelog.
2821 2824 --make clear do what it say it does
2822 2825 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2823 2826 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2824 2827 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2825 2828 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2826 2829 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2827 2830 can be done for other cases.
2828 2831 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2829 2832 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2830 2833 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2831 2834
2832 2835 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2833 2836 --added logfile rotation
2834 2837 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2835 2838
2836 2839 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2837 2840 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2838 2841 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2839 2842 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2840 2843 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2841 2844 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2842 2845 --added global logfile option
2843 2846 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2844 2847 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2845 2848
2846 2849 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2847 2850 --added a README
2848 2851 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2849 2852 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2850 2853 bug or feature.
2851 2854 --changed rc file for new behavior
2852 2855
2853 2856 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2854 2857
2855 2858 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2856 2859 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2857 2860 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2858 2861
2859 2862 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2860 2863 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2861 2864
2862 2865 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2863 2866
2864 2867 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2865 2868 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2866 2869 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2867 2870 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2868 2871 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2869 2872 and prepended with a #.
2870 2873
2871 2874 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2872 2875 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2873 2876
2874 2877 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2875 2878
2876 2879 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2877 2880 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2878 2881
2879 2882 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2880 2883
2881 2884 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2882 2885 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2883 2886
2884 2887 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2885 2888
2886 2889 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2887 2890 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2888 2891 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2889 2892
2890 2893 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2891 2894
2892 2895 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2893 2896 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2894 2897
2895 2898 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2896 2899 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2897 2900 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2898 2901 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2899 2902 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2900 2903 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2901 2904 be implemented later).
2902 2905
2903 2906 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2904 2907 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2905 2908 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2906 2909 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2907 2910
2908 2911 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2909 2912 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2910 2913 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2911 2914
2912 2915 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2913 2916 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2914 2917
2915 2918 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2916 2919 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2917 2920 readline make it impossible to go further.
2918 2921
2919 2922 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2920 2923
2921 2924 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2922 2925 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2923 2926
2924 2927 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2925 2928
2926 2929 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2927 2930 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2928 2931 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2929 2932 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2930 2933
2931 2934 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2932 2935 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2933 2936 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2934 2937 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2935 2938
2936 2939 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2937 2940 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2938 2941 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2939 2942 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2940 2943 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2941 2944 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2942 2945 problem.
2943 2946
2944 2947 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2945 2948 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2946 2949
2947 2950 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2948 2951 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2949 2952 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2950 2953
2951 2954 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2952 2955
2953 2956 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2954 2957 continue prompts.
2955 2958
2956 2959 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2957 2960 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2958 2961 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2959 2962 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2960 2963 byte-compilation saves time.
2961 2964
2962 2965 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2963 2966
2964 2967 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2965 2968 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2966 2969
2967 2970 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2968 2971 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2969 2972
2970 2973 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2971 2974 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2972 2975 common cases where it's a problem.
2973 2976
2974 2977 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2975 2978
2976 2979 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2977 2980 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2978 2981 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2979 2982 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2980 2983 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2981 2984 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2982 2985
2983 2986 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2984 2987
2985 2988 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2986 2989 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2987 2990
2988 2991 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2989 2992 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2990 2993 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2991 2994 structure as win_exec_ext.
2992 2995
2993 2996 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2994 2997 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2995 2998
2996 2999 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2997 3000 delete aliases.
2998 3001
2999 3002 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3000 3003 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3001 3004
3002 3005 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3003 3006
3004 3007 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3005 3008 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3006 3009
3007 3010 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3008 3011
3009 3012 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3010 3013 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3011 3014
3012 3015 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3013 3016 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3014 3017
3015 3018 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3016 3019 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3017 3020 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3018 3021 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3019 3022 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3020 3023 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3021 3024
3022 3025 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3023 3026 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3024 3027 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3025 3028
3026 3029 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3027 3030 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3028 3031 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3029 3032
3030 3033 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3031 3034 via an extra $. For example:
3032 3035
3033 3036 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3034 3037
3035 3038 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3036 3039 a python variable
3037 3040
3038 3041 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3039 3042 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3040 3043
3041 3044 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3042 3045 things prematurely.
3043 3046
3044 3047 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3045 3048 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3046 3049
3047 3050 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3048 3051 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3049 3052 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3050 3053 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3051 3054 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3052 3055 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3053 3056 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3054 3057 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3055 3058
3056 3059 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3057 3060 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3058 3061 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3059 3062 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3060 3063 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3061 3064 with the old system).
3062 3065
3063 3066 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3064 3067
3065 3068 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3066 3069 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3067 3070
3068 3071 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3069 3072 call to eval.
3070 3073 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3071 3074 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3072 3075 in.
3073 3076
3074 3077 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3075 3078
3076 3079 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3077 3080 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3078 3081 confusion).
3079 3082
3080 3083 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3081 3084 check for Windows users.
3082 3085
3083 3086 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3084 3087 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3085 3088 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3086 3089 download it.
3087 3090
3088 3091 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3092
3090 3093 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3091 3094 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3092 3095 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3093 3096 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3094 3097 of IDLE's out).
3095 3098
3096 3099 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3097 3100 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3098 3101 eventually.
3099 3102 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3100 3103
3101 3104 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3102 3105
3103 3106 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3104 3107 list of auto-defined aliases.
3105 3108
3106 3109 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3107 3110
3108 3111 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3109 3112 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3110 3113 things under Windows).
3111 3114
3112 3115 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3113 3116
3114 3117 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3115 3118 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3116 3119 reported by Thorsten.
3117 3120
3118 3121 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3119 3122
3120 3123 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3121 3124 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3122 3125 for all examples and the manual as well.
3123 3126
3124 3127 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3125 3128
3126 3129 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3127 3130 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3128 3131 inherit from BasePrompt.
3129 3132
3130 3133 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3131 3134 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3132 3135
3133 3136 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3134 3137 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3135 3138 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3136 3139 defaults.
3137 3140 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3138 3141 this fix manually!
3139 3142
3140 3143 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3141 3144 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3142 3145 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3143 3146 distutils).
3144 3147
3145 3148 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3146 3149 usage of new '\D' escape.
3147 3150
3148 3151 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3149 3152 lacks os.getuid())
3150 3153 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3151 3154 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3152 3155 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3153 3156 handling mechanism.
3154 3157 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3155 3158 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3156 3159 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3157 3160 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3158 3161 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3159 3162 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3160 3163 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3161 3164
3162 3165 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3163 3166
3164 3167 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3165 3168 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3166 3169 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3167 3170
3168 3171 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3169 3172 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3170 3173 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3171 3174 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3172 3175 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3173 3176 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3174 3177 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3175 3178 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3176 3179
3177 3180 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3178 3181 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3179 3182 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3180 3183 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3181 3184 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3182 3185 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3183 3186 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3184 3187 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3185 3188
3186 3189 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3187 3190 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3188 3191 functions uniform.
3189 3192 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3190 3193
3191 3194 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3192 3195 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3193 3196 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3194 3197 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3195 3198 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3196 3199 use to parse their options.
3197 3200
3198 3201 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3199 3202 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3200 3203 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3201 3204
3202 3205 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3203 3206 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3204 3207 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3205 3208 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3206 3209 via the prompt_specials.
3207 3210
3208 3211 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3209 3212
3210 3213 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3211 3214 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3212 3215 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3213 3216 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3214 3217 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3215 3218 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3216 3219 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3217 3220 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3218 3221
3219 3222 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3220 3223
3221 3224 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3222 3225 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3223 3226 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3224 3227
3225 3228 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3229
3227 3230 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3228 3231 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3229 3232
3230 3233 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3231 3234
3232 3235 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3233 3236 parens would get passed to the shell.
3234 3237
3235 3238 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3236 3239
3237 3240 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3238 3241 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3239 3242
3240 3243 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3241 3244 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3242 3245 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3243 3246 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3244 3247 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3245 3248
3246 3249 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3247 3250 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3248 3251 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3249 3252 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3250 3253
3251 3254 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3252 3255
3253 3256 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3254 3257
3255 3258 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3256 3259 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3257 3260 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3258 3261
3259 3262 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3260 3263 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3261 3264 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3262 3265 official documentation.
3263 3266
3264 3267 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3265 3268
3266 3269 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3267 3270 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3268 3271 explicit filename.
3269 3272
3270 3273 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3271 3274
3272 3275 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3273 3276 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3274 3277 case.
3275 3278
3276 3279 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3277 3280 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3278 3281 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3279 3282
3280 3283 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3281 3284
3282 3285 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3283 3286
3284 3287 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3285 3288 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3286 3289 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3287 3290 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3288 3291 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3289 3292 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3290 3293 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3291 3294 any changes to python proper.
3292 3295
3293 3296 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3294 3297 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3295 3298 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3296 3299 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3297 3300 Schmolck.
3298 3301
3299 3302 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3300 3303
3301 3304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3302 3305 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3303 3306 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3304 3307 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3305 3308
3306 3309 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3307 3310
3308 3311 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3309 3312 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3310 3313 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3311 3314 name).
3312 3315
3313 3316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3314 3317 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3315 3318 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3316 3319 Francois Pinard.
3317 3320
3318 3321 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3319 3322
3320 3323 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3321 3324 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3322 3325 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3323 3326 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3324 3327 not work.
3325 3328
3326 3329 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3327 3330
3328 3331 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3329 3332 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3330 3333 distinguishes stdout/err.
3331 3334
3332 3335 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3333 3336 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3334 3337 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3335 3338 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3336 3339 the standard library.
3337 3340
3338 3341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3339 3342 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3340 3343
3341 3344 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3342 3345 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3343 3346
3344 3347 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3345 3348
3346 3349 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3347 3350 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3348 3351 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3349 3352 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3350 3353 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3351 3354 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3352 3355
3353 3356 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3354 3357
3355 3358 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3356 3359 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3357 3360 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3358 3361 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3359 3362
3360 3363 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3361 3364
3362 3365 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3363 3366 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3364 3367 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3365 3368 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.

3367 3370 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3368 3371
3369 3372 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3370 3373 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3371 3374 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3372 3375 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3373 3376 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3374 3377 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3375 3378 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3376 3379 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3377 3380
3378 3381 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3382
3380 3383 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3381 3384 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3382 3385
3383 3386 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3384 3387
3385 3388 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3386 3389 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3387 3390 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3388 3391 very short.
3389 3392
3390 3393 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3391 3394
3392 3395 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3393 3396 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3394 3397 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3395 3398 this before making it permanent.
3396 3399
3397 3400 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3398 3401 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3399 3402 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3400 3403 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3401 3404
3402 3405 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3403 3406
3404 3407 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3405 3408 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3406 3409
3407 3410 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3408 3411
3409 3412 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3410 3413 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3411 3414 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3412 3415 cases I've missed.
3413 3416
3414 3417 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3415 3418
3416 3419 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3417 3420 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3418 3421 system would be triggered for @p.
3419 3422
3420 3423 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3421 3424 cleanups, code unmodified.
3422 3425
3423 3426 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3424 3427 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3425 3428 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3426 3429 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3427 3430 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3428 3431 The actual changes affect many files.
3429 3432
3430 3433 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3434
3432 3435 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3433 3436 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3434 3437 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3435 3438
3436 3439 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3437 3440
3438 3441 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3439 3442 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3440 3443
3441 3444 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3442 3445
3443 3446 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3444 3447 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3445 3448 numpy list.
3446 3449
3447 3450 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3448 3451
3449 3452 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3450 3453 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3451 3454 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3452 3455 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3453 3456
3454 3457 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3455 3458
3456 3459 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3457 3460 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3458 3461 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3459 3462 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3460 3463
3461 3464 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3462 3465 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3463 3466
3464 3467 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3465 3468
3466 3469 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3467 3470 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3468 3471 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3469 3472 Collins.
3470 3473
3471 3474 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3472 3475
3473 3476 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3474 3477
3475 3478 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3476 3479 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3477 3480 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3478 3481
3479 3482 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3480 3483
3481 3484 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3482 3485 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3483 3486 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3484 3487 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3485 3488
3486 3489 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3487 3490 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3488 3491 __getitem__ and __call__.
3489 3492
3490 3493 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3491 3494
3492 3495 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3493 3496
3494 3497 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3495 3498 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3496 3499 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3497 3500 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3498 3501
3499 3502 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3500 3503 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3501 3504 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3502 3505 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3503 3506 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3504 3507 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3505 3508 necessary.
3506 3509
3507 3510 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3508 3511 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3509 3512 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3510 3513
3511 3514 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3512 3515 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3513 3516 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3514 3517 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3515 3518
3516 3519 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3517 3520 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3518 3521 generators.
3519 3522
3520 3523 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3521 3524 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3522 3525 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3523 3526 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3524 3527 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3525 3528 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3526 3529 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3527 3530
3528 3531 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3529 3532 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3530 3533 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3531 3534 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3532 3535 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3533 3536
3534 3537 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3535 3538 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3536 3539 edit under some circumstances.
3537 3540 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3538 3541 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3539 3542 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3540 3543 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3541 3544 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3542 3545 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3543 3546 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3544 3547 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3545 3548 need more testing.
3546 3549
3547 3550 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3548 3551
3549 3552 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3550 3553 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3551 3554 and simpler code.
3552 3555
3553 3556 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3554 3557
3555 3558 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3556 3559 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3557 3560 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3558 3561 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3559 3562 even if they were contiguous.
3560 3563 (l1norm): Added this function.
3561 3564 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3562 3565 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3563 3566 and speed.
3564 3567
3565 3568 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3566 3569
3567 3570 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3568 3571 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3569 3572 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3570 3573
3571 3574 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3572 3575
3573 3576 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3574 3577 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3575 3578 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3576 3579
3577 3580 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3578 3581 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3579 3582 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3580 3583
3581 3584 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3582 3585
3583 3586 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3584 3587 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3585 3588 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3586 3589 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3587 3590 activity.
3588 3591
3589 3592 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3590 3593
3591 3594 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3592 3595 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3593 3596 Numeric.identity)
3594 3597
3595 3598 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3596 3599
3597 3600 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3598 3601 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3599 3602 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3600 3603
3601 3604 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3602 3605
3603 3606 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3604 3607 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3605 3608 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3606 3609 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3607 3610
3608 3611 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3609 3612 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3610 3613 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3611 3614 is implemented).
3612 3615
3613 3616 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3614 3617
3615 3618 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3616 3619 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3617 3620 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3618 3621
3619 3622 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3620 3623 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3621 3624 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3622 3625 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3623 3626 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3624 3627
3625 3628 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3626 3629
3627 3630 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3628 3631
3629 3632 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3630 3633 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3631 3634 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3632 3635
3633 3636 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3634 3637
3635 3638 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3636 3639 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3637 3640 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3638 3641
3639 3642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3640 3643 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3641 3644 crash report from Prabhu.
3642 3645
3643 3646 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3644 3647
3645 3648 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3646 3649 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3647 3650 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3648 3651 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3649 3652 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3650 3653 also be useful in other cases.
3651 3654
3652 3655 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3653 3656 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3654 3657 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3655 3658
3656 3659 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3657 3660
3658 3661 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3659 3662
3660 3663 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3661 3664 installing for a new user under Windows.
3662 3665
3663 3666 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3664 3667
3665 3668 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3666 3669 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3667 3670 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3668 3671 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3669 3672 there.
3670 3673
3671 3674 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3672 3675 info to crash reports.
3673 3676
3674 3677 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3675 3678 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3676 3679 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3677 3680 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3678 3681
3679 3682 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3680 3683
3681 3684 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3682 3685 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3683 3686 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3684 3687 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3685 3688
3686 3689 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3687 3690
3688 3691 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3689 3692 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3690 3693
3691 3694 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3692 3695
3693 3696 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3694 3697 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3695 3698
3696 3699 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3697 3700
3698 3701 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3699 3702
3700 3703 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3701 3704 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3702 3705 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3703 3706
3704 3707 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3705 3708 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3706 3709 with the new auto-indent option.
3707 3710
3708 3711 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3712
3710 3713 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3711 3714 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3712 3715 this class from the main Shell class.
3713 3716
3714 3717 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3715 3718 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3716 3719 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3717 3720 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3718 3721 option).
3719 3722
3720 3723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3721 3724 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3722 3725 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3723 3726 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3724 3727 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3725 3728
3726 3729 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3727 3730 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3728 3731 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3729 3732
3730 3733 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3731 3734 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3732 3735 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3733 3736 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3734 3737 tracebacks.
3735 3738
3736 3739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3737 3740 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3738 3741 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

3740 3743 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3741 3744
3742 3745 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3743 3746 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3744 3747 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3745 3748 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3746 3749
3747 3750 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3748 3751
3749 3752 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3750 3753 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3751 3754 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3752 3755 for the bug report.
3753 3756
3754 3757 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3755 3758
3756 3759 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3757 3760 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3758 3761 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3759 3762 report.
3760 3763
3761 3764 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3762 3765
3763 3766 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3764 3767 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3765 3768 end).
3766 3769
3767 3770 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3768 3771 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3769 3772 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3770 3773
3771 3774 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3772 3775
3773 3776 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3774 3777 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3775 3778 for the patch.
3776 3779
3777 3780 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3778 3781
3779 3782 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3780 3783 functions.
3781 3784
3782 3785 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

3784 3787 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3785 3788
3786 3789 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3787 3790 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3788 3791 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3789 3792 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3790 3793 private fix.
3791 3794
3792 3795 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3793 3796 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3794 3797 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3795 3798 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3796 3799 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3797 3800 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3798 3801 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3799 3802 fixed for this setup.
3800 3803
3801 3804 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3802 3805 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3803 3806
3804 3807 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3805 3808
3806 3809 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3807 3810
3808 3811 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3809 3812 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3810 3813 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3811 3814 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3812 3815 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3813 3816 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3814 3817 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3815 3818 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3816 3819 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3817 3820
3818 3821 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3819 3822 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3820 3823 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
3821 3824
3822 3825 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3823 3826
3824 3827 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3825 3828
3826 3829 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3827 3830 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3828 3831 pickle-related issue in @run).
3829 3832
3830 3833 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3831 3834
3832 3835 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3833 3836 the autocall option at runtime.
3834 3837 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3835 3838 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3836 3839 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3837 3840 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3838 3841 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3839 3842 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3840 3843 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3841 3844 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3842 3845 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3843 3846 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3844 3847 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3845 3848 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3846 3849 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3847 3850 pickles to save something sensible.
3848 3851
3849 3852 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3850 3853
3851 3854 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3852 3855 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3853 3856 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3854 3857
3855 3858 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3856 3859
3857 3860 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3858 3861 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3859 3862
3860 3863 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3861 3864
3862 3865 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3863 3866 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3864 3867 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3865 3868 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3866 3869
3867 3870 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3868 3871
3869 3872 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3870 3873 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3871 3874 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3872 3875 array is non-contiguous.
3873 3876
3874 3877 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3875 3878
3876 3879 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3877 3880 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3878 3881 executed).
3879 3882 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3880 3883 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3881 3884 output.
3882 3885 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3883 3886 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3884 3887 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3885 3888 changing.
3886 3889
3887 3890 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3888 3891
3889 3892 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3890 3893
3891 3894 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3892 3895 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3893 3896 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3894 3897 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3895 3898 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3896 3899 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3897 3900 like a normal command-line.
3898 3901
3899 3902 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3900 3903 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3901 3904 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3902 3905 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3903 3906
3904 3907 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3905 3908
3906 3909 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3907 3910 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3908 3911 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3909 3912 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3910 3913
3911 3914 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3912 3915
3913 3916 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3914 3917 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3915 3918 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3916 3919 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3917 3920 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3918 3921 think it's worth doing.
3919 3922

3922 3925 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3923 3926
3924 3927 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3925 3928 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3926 3929
3927 3930 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3928 3931 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3929 3932 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3930 3933 also work ok.
3931 3934
3932 3935 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49

3934 3937 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3935 3938
3936 3939 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3937 3940
3938 3941 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3939 3942 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3940 3943 of gnuplot data files.
3941 3944
3942 3945 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3943 3946
3944 3947 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3945 3948 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3946 3949
3947 3950 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3948 3951
3949 3952 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3950 3953 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3951 3954 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3952 3955 for pointing this out.
3953 3956
3954 3957 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3955 3958
3956 3959 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3957 3960
3958 3961 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3959 3962 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3960 3963 Interactive.
3961 3964
3962 3965 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3963 3966 being imported from iplib.
3964 3967
3965 3968 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3966 3969 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3967 3970 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3968 3971 common name.
3969 3972
3970 3973 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3971 3974 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3972 3975
3973 3976 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3974 3977 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3975 3978
3976 3979 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3977 3980 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3978 3981 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3979 3982 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3980 3983 docstrings).
3981 3984
3982 3985 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3983 3986
3984 3987 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3985 3988 (inconsistent with options).
3986 3989
3987 3990 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3988 3991 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3989 3992 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3990 3993 eps output.
3991 3994
3992 3995 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3993 3996
3994 3997 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3995 3998 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3996 3999 Pinard.
3997 4000
3998 4001 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3999 4002
4000 4003 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4001 4004 history file for new users.
4002 4005 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4003 4006 user running in the .ipython dir.
4004 4007 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4005 4008 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4006 4009 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4007 4010
4008 4011 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4009 4012 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4010 4013 consistently.
4011 4014
4012 4015 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4013 4016 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4014 4017 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4015 4018 libraries I don't have access to.
4016 4019
4017 4020 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4018 4021 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4019 4022 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4020 4023 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4021 4024 report.
4022 4025
4023 4026 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4024 4027
4025 4028 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4026 4029 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4027 4030 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4028 4031 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4029 4032
4030 4033 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4034
4032 4035 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4033 4036 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4034 4037 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4035 4038 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4036 4039 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4037 4040 instance has been created.
4038 4041
4039 4042 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4040 4043 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4041 4044 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4042 4045 dict by hand.
4043 4046
4044 4047 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4045 4048
4046 4049 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4047 4050 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4048 4051 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4049 4052 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4050 4053 broken.
4051 4054
4052 4055 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4053 4056 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4054 4057 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4055 4058 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4056 4059
4057 4060 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4058 4061 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4059 4062 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4060 4063 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4061 4064 is a valid one.
4062 4065
4063 4066 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4064 4067 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4065 4068 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4066 4069
4067 4070 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4068 4071 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4069 4072 simply leftover junk.
4070 4073
4071 4074 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4072 4075
4073 4076 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4074 4077 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4075 4078 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4076 4079
4077 4080 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4078 4081 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4079 4082 exceptions.
4080 4083
4081 4084 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4082 4085
4083 4086 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4084 4087 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4085 4088 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4086 4089 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4087 4090 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4088 4091
4089 4092 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4090 4093 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4091 4094
4092 4095 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4093 4096 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4094 4097 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4095 4098 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4096 4099 problem mentioned below.
4097 4100
4098 4101 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4099 4102
4100 4103 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4101 4104 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4102 4105
4103 4106 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4104 4107 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4105 4108 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4106 4109 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4107 4110 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4108 4111
4109 4112 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4110 4113 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4111 4114 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4112 4115 actual function names.
4113 4116
4114 4117 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4115 4118 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4116 4119 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4117 4120 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4118 4121 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4119 4122 really be only function/method names.
4120 4123
4121 4124 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4125
4123 4126 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4124 4127 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4125 4128 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4126 4129
4127 4130 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4128 4131
4129 4132 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4130 4133 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4131 4134 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4132 4135
4133 4136 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4134 4137 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4135 4138
4136 4139 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4137 4140 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4138 4141 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4139 4142
4140 4143 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4141 4144 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4142 4145 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4143 4146
4144 4147 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4145 4148 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4146 4149 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4147 4150
4148 4151 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4149 4152
4150 4153 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4151 4154 Gnuplot.File objects.
4152 4155
4153 4156 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4154 4157
4155 4158 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4156 4159 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4157 4160 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4158 4161
4159 4162 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4160 4163
4161 4164 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4162 4165 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4163 4166
4164 4167 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4165 4168 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4166 4169
4167 4170 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4168 4171 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4169 4172
4170 4173 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4171 4174
4172 4175 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4173 4176 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4174 4177 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4175 4178 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4176 4179
4177 4180 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4178 4181
4179 4182 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4180 4183 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4181 4184 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4182 4185
4183 4186 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4184 4187
4185 4188 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4186 4189 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4187 4190 workaround).
4188 4191
4189 4192 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4190 4193
4191 4194 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4192 4195 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4193 4196
4194 4197 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4195 4198
4196 4199 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4197 4200 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4198 4201
4199 4202 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4200 4203 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4201 4204 .strip() is called on it.
4202 4205
4203 4206
4204 4207 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4205 4208
4206 4209 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4207 4210 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4208 4211 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4209 4212
4210 4213 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4211 4214 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4212 4215
4213 4216 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4214 4217 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4215 4218 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4216 4219
4217 4220 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4218 4221
4219 4222 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4220 4223 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4221 4224 __main__.
4222 4225
4223 4226 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4224 4227 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4225 4228
4226 4229 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4227 4230 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4228 4231 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4229 4232 Mathematica behaves.
4230 4233
4231 4234 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4232 4235
4233 4236 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4234 4237 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4235 4238
4236 4239 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4237 4240 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4238 4241 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4239 4242
4240 4243 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4241 4244 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4242 4245
4243 4246 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4244 4247
4245 4248 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4246 4249 underflow problems in Numeric.
4247 4250 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4248 4251 for exact integer powers of 2.
4249 4252
4250 4253 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4251 4254 properly.
4252 4255
4253 4256 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4254 4257
4255 4258 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4256 4259 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4257 4260
4258 4261 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4259 4262
4260 4263 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4261 4264 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4262 4265
4263 4266 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4264 4267
4265 4268 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4266 4269 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4267 4270 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4268 4271 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4269 4272 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4270 4273 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4271 4274 times).
4272 4275
4273 4276 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4274 4277 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4275 4278 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4276 4279
4277 4280 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4278 4281
4279 4282 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4280 4283 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4281 4284 embedded code.
4282 4285
4283 4286 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4284 4287 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4285 4288 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4286 4289
4287 4290 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4288 4291 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4289 4292 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4290 4293 less special-casing to remember.
4291 4294
4292 4295 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4293 4296
4294 4297 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4295 4298 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4296 4299 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4297 4300 arg is not a defined object.
4298 4301 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4299 4302 a Mike Heeter idea.
4300 4303
4301 4304 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4302 4305 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4303 4306 interactive use.
4304 4307
4305 4308 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4306 4309 filenames.
4307 4310
4308 4311 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4312
4310 4313 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4311 4314 initialization via another struct.
4312 4315
4313 4316 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4314 4317 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4315 4318
4316 4319 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4317 4320
4318 4321 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4319 4322 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4320 4323 too big).
4321 4324
4322 4325 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4323 4326
4324 4327 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4325 4328 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4326 4329 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4327 4330 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4328 4331
4329 4332 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4330 4333
4331 4334 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4332 4335 macros having broken.
4333 4336
4334 4337 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4335 4338
4336 4339 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4337 4340 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4338 4341 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4339 4342 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4340 4343 not to lists.
4341 4344
4342 4345 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4343 4346
4344 4347 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4345 4348 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4346 4349 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4347 4350
4348 4351 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4349 4352 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4350 4353
4351 4354 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4352 4355 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4353 4356 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4354 4357
4355 4358 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4356 4359 triple-quoted strings.
4357 4360
4358 4361 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4359 4362 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4360 4363 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4361 4364 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4362 4365 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4363 4366 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4364 4367
4365 4368 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4369
4367 4370 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4368 4371 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4369 4372 ultraTB).
4370 4373
4371 4374 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4375
4373 4376 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4374 4377 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4375 4378 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4376 4379 user's 'g' variables).
4377 4380
4378 4381 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4379 4382 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4380 4383 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4381 4384 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4382 4385 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4383 4386 macros.
4384 4387
4385 4388 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4386 4389
4387 4390 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4388 4391 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4389 4392
4390 4393 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4391 4394 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4392 4395 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4393 4396
4394 4397 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4395 4398
4396 4399 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4397 4400 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4398 4401 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4399 4402 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4400 4403 aliases.
4401 4404
4402 4405 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4403 4406
4404 4407 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4405 4408 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4406 4409 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4407 4410 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4408 4411
4409 4412 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4413
4411 4414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4412 4415 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4413 4416 user-defined functions overrode them.
4414 4417
4415 4418 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4416 4419
4417 4420 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4418 4421 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4419 4422
4420 4423 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4421 4424
4422 4425 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4423 4426 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4424 4427 IPython.
4425 4428
4426 4429 * Released 0.2.13
4427 4430
4428 4431 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4429 4432 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4430 4433 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4431 4434 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4432 4435
4433 4436 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4434 4437
4435 4438 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4436 4439 magic properly formatted for screen.
4437 4440
4438 4441 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4439 4442 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4440 4443
4441 4444 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4442 4445 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4443 4446 etc.)
4444 4447
4445 4448 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4446 4449
4447 4450 * Released 0.2.12
4448 4451
4449 4452 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4450 4453
4451 4454 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4452 4455 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4453 4456 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4454 4457 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4455 4458 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4456 4459 an alias to @run -i.
4457 4460
4458 4461 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4459 4462 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4460 4463
4461 4464 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4462 4465
4463 4466 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4464 4467 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4465 4468 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4466 4469
4467 4470 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4468 4471 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4469 4472 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4470 4473 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4471 4474 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4472 4475 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4473 4476 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4474 4477
4475 4478 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4476 4479
4477 4480 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4478 4481 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4479 4482 printed).
4480 4483
4481 4484 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4482 4485 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4483 4486 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4484 4487
4485 4488 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4486 4489 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4487 4490
4488 4491 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4489 4492 handle magic commands in them.
4490 4493 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4491 4494 ~/mylog' now works.
4492 4495
4493 4496 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4494 4497 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4495 4498
4496 4499 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4497 4500
4498 4501 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4499 4502 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4500 4503
4501 4504 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4502 4505 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4503 4506 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4504 4507 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4505 4508 variables are in the context of an exception.
4506 4509 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4507 4510 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4508 4511
4509 4512 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4510 4513 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4511 4514
4512 4515 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4513 4516
4514 4517 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4515 4518 magics can parse options easier.
4516 4519 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4517 4520 suggested by Chris Hart.
4518 4521 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4519 4522 directory actually is in history.
4520 4523
4521 4524 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4522 4525 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4523 4526 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4524 4527
4525 4528 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4526 4529 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4527 4530 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4528 4531 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4529 4532
4530 4533 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4531 4534
4532 4535 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4533 4536 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4534 4537
4535 4538 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4536 4539 text (was a bug).
4537 4540
4538 4541 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4539 4542
4540 4543 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4541 4544 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4542 4545 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4543 4546
4544 4547 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4545 4548
4546 4549 * Released 0.2.10
4547 4550
4548 4551 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4549 4552
4550 4553 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4551 4554 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4552 4555
4553 4556 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4554 4557
4555 4558 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4556 4559 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4557 4560
4558 4561 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4559 4562
4560 4563 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4561 4564 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4562 4565 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4563 4566 __init__.py)
4564 4567
4565 4568 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4566 4569
4567 4570 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4568 4571 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4569 4572 test for being inside IPython.
4570 4573
4571 4574 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4572 4575 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4573 4576 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4574 4577 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4575 4578
4576 4579 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4577 4580
4578 4581 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4579 4582 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4580 4583 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4581 4584
4582 4585 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4583 4586 embedding example to standard user directory for
4584 4587 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4585 4588
4586 4589 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4587 4590 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4588 4591 hidden global).
4589 4592
4590 4593 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4591 4594 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4592 4595 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4593 4596 case.
4594 4597
4595 4598 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4596 4599
4597 4600 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4598 4601 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4599 4602 start.
4600 4603
4601 4604 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4602 4605 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4603 4606 Numeric or math.
4604 4607
4605 4608 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4606 4609 provided profiles. Now we have:
4607 4610 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4608 4611 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4609 4612 -physics -> same as before
4610 4613
4611 4614 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4612 4615 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4613 4616 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4614 4617 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4615 4618 string adds).
4616 4619
4617 4620 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4618 4621 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4619 4622 line with the gnuplot code).
4620 4623
4621 4624 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4622 4625
4623 4626 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4624 4627 all included files change.
4625 4628
4626 4629 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4627 4630 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4628 4631
4629 4632 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4630 4633 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4631 4634 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4632 4635
4633 4636 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4634 4637 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4635 4638
4636 4639 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4637 4640 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4638 4641
4639 4642 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4640 4643 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4641 4644 now accessible.
4642 4645
4643 4646 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4644 4647 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4645 4648 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4646 4649 removed.
4647 4650 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4648 4651 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4649 4652 don't crash.
4650 4653 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4651 4654 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4652 4655 remains available.
4653 4656
4654 4657 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4655 4658
4656 4659 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4657 4660
4658 4661 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4659 4662
4660 4663 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4661 4664 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4662 4665 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4663 4666 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4664 4667
4665 4668 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4666 4669
4667 4670 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4668 4671 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4669 4672 sync with the output counter.
4670 4673
4671 4674 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4672 4675 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4673 4676
4674 4677 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4675 4678
4676 4679 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4677 4680 readline, fix it back after each call.
4678 4681
4679 4682 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4680 4683 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4681 4684 traceback references are properly deleted.
4682 4685
4683 4686 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4684 4687 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4685 4688
4686 4689 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4687 4690
4688 4691 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4689 4692 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4690 4693 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4691 4694 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4692 4695 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4693 4696 to catch SystemExit).
4694 4697
4695 4698 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4696 4699 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4697 4700 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4698 4701 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4699 4702 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4700 4703 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4701 4704
4702 4705 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4703 4706
4704 4707 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4705 4708 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4706 4709 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4707 4710
4708 4711 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4709 4712 configurable (it should have always been so).
4710 4713
4711 4714 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4712 4715
4713 4716 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4714 4717 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4715 4718 done in a more elegant way.
4716 4719
4717 4720 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4718 4721
4719 4722 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4720 4723 win9x also.
4721 4724
4722 4725 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4726
4724 4727 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4725 4728 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4726 4729
4727 4730 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4728 4731
4729 4732 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4730 4733
4731 4734 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4732 4735 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4733 4736
4734 4737 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4735 4738 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4736 4739
4737 4740 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4738 4741 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4739 4742
4740 4743 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4741 4744 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4742 4745
4743 4746 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4744 4747
4745 4748 * Released 0.2.8
4746 4749
4747 4750 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4748 4751 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4749 4752 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4750 4753 on' so that the first tab completes.
4751 4754 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4752 4755 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4753 4756
4754 4757 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4755 4758 installation.
4756 4759
4757 4760 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4758 4761 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4759 4762
4760 4763 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4761 4764
4762 4765 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4763 4766 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4764 4767 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4765 4768
4766 4769 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4767 4770 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4768 4771
4769 4772 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4770 4773 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4771 4774 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4772 4775 suggestion.
4773 4776
4774 4777 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4775 4778 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4776 4779 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4777 4780
4778 4781 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4779 4782 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4780 4783
4781 4784 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4782 4785
4783 4786 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4784 4787 which properly handles things for windows users.
4785 4788
4786 4789 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4787 4790
4788 4791 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4789 4792 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4790 4793 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4791 4794 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4792 4795 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4793 4796
4794 4797 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4795 4798
4796 4799 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4797 4800
4798 4801 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4799 4802 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4800 4803
4801 4804 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4802 4805
4803 4806 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4804 4807 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4805 4808 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4806 4809 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4807 4810 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4808 4811 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4809 4812
4810 4813 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4811 4814
4812 4815 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4813 4816 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4814 4817
4815 4818 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4816 4819 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4817 4820 cache at 20 values.
4818 4821
4819 4822 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4820 4823 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4821 4824 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4822 4825 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4823 4826
4824 4827 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4825 4828 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4826 4829 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4827 4830 'file show').
4828 4831
4829 4832 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4830 4833 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4831 4834
4832 4835 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4833 4836 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4834 4837 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4835 4838
4836 4839 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4837 4840 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4838 4841 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4839 4842 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4840 4843
4841 4844 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4842 4845 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4843 4846 the prompt strings.
4844 4847
4845 4848 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4849
4847 4850 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4848 4851 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4849 4852
4850 4853 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4851 4854 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4852 4855 either globally or at each call.
4853 4856
4854 4857 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4855 4858 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4856 4859 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4857 4860 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4858 4861
4859 4862 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4860 4863
4861 4864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4862 4865 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4863 4866
4864 4867 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4865 4868
4866 4869 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4867 4870 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4868 4871 learning some lisp...
4869 4872
4870 4873 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4871 4874
4872 4875 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4873 4876 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4874 4877 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4875 4878 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4876 4879
4877 4880 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4878 4881 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4879 4882 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4880 4883
4881 4884 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4882 4885
4883 4886 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4884 4887 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4885 4888 control to emacs users.
4886 4889
4887 4890 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4888 4891 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4889 4892 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4890 4893 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4891 4894 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4892 4895 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4893 4896
4894 4897 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4895 4898
4896 4899 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4897 4900
4898 4901 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4899 4902 @logstate magic was created.
4900 4903
4901 4904 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4902 4905 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4903 4906
4904 4907 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4905 4908
4906 4909 * Released 0.2.6.
4907 4910
4908 4911 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4909 4912 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4910 4913
4911 4914 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4912 4915 SciPy.
4913 4916
4914 4917 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4915 4918 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4916 4919 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4917 4920 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4918 4921 the section on embedding and the example file.
4919 4922
4920 4923 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4921 4924 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4922 4925 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4923 4926
4924 4927 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4925 4928 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4926 4929 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4927 4930
4928 4931 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4929 4932 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4930 4933 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4931 4934 for this to work.
4932 4935
4933 4936 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4934 4937
4935 4938 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4936 4939 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4937 4940 well inside Emacs buffers.
4938 4941 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4939 4942 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4940 4943 same bug in iplib.
4941 4944
4942 4945 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4943 4946
4944 4947 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4945 4948 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4946 4949
4947 4950 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4948 4951 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4949 4952 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4950 4953
4951 4954 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4952 4955 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4953 4956 display is done.
4954 4957
4955 4958 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4956 4959 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4957 4960
4958 4961 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4959 4962 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4960 4963 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4961 4964 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4962 4965 like in Octave.
4963 4966
4964 4967 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4965 4968 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4966 4969
4967 4970 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4968 4971
4969 4972 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4970 4973 whole file a little.
4971 4974
4972 4975 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4973 4976 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4974 4977 end-user distro.
4975 4978
4976 4979 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4977 4980 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4978 4981 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4979 4982
4980 4983 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4981 4984 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4982 4985
4983 4986 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4984 4987 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4985 4988 for @file.
4986 4989
4987 4990 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4988 4991 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4989 4992 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4990 4993 the code a bit easier.
4991 4994
4992 4995 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4993 4996 information to crash reports.
4994 4997
4995 4998 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4996 4999
4997 5000 * Released 0.2.5.
4998 5001
4999 5002 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5003
5001 5004 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5002 5005 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5003 5006 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5004 5007
5005 5008 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5006 5009
5007 5010 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5008 5011 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5009 5012 have thigs work as expected.
5010 5013
5011 5014 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5012 5015 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5013 5016 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5014 5017 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5015 5018 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5016 5019
5017 5020 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5018 5021 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5019 5022
5020 5023 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5021 5024
5022 5025 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5023 5026 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5024 5027
5025 5028 * README and manual updates.
5026 5029
5027 5030 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5028 5031 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5029 5032
5030 5033 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5031 5034 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5032 5035
5033 5036 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5034 5037 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5035 5038 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5036 5039 extension-less files.
5037 5040
5038 5041 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5039 5042 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5040 5043 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5041 5044
5042 5045 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5043 5046 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5044 5047
5045 5048 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5046 5049 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5047 5050 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5048 5051 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5049 5052 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5050 5053 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5051 5054 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5052 5055 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5053 5056 least make manually a shortcut.
5054 5057
5055 5058 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5056 5059 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5057 5060 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5058 5061 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5059 5062 runtime, with @colors.
5060 5063 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5061 5064 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5062 5065
5063 5066 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5064 5067
5065 5068 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5066 5069 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5067 5070 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5068 5071 read the startup info.
5069 5072
5070 5073 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5071 5074
5072 5075 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5073 5076 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5074 5077 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5075 5078 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5076 5079 type the better off we are.
5077 5080 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5078 5081 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5079 5082 before.
5080 5083
5081 5084 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5082 5085
5083 5086 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5084 5087 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5085 5088 this later.
5086 5089
5087 5090 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5088 5091
5089 5092 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5090 5093 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5091 5094 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5092 5095
5093 5096 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5094 5097
5095 5098 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5096 5099 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5097 5100 spitting out only offset information as before.
5098 5101 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5099 5102 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5100 5103
5101 5104 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5105
5103 5106 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5104 5107 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5105 5108 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5106 5109 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5107 5110 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5108 5111 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5109 5112 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5110 5113 macros.
5111 5114
5112 5115 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5113 5116
5114 5117 * Released 0.2.4.
5115 5118
5116 5119 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5117 5120 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5118 5121 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5119 5122 re-execution.
5120 5123
5121 5124 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5122 5125
5123 5126 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5124 5127 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5125 5128 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5126 5129 documented, of course :)
5127 5130 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5128 5131 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5129 5132 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5130 5133
5131 5134 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5132 5135
5133 5136 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5134 5137 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5135 5138 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5136 5139
5137 5140 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5138 5141
5139 5142 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5140 5143 so I wanted an updated release).
5141 5144
5142 5145 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5143 5146
5144 5147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5145 5148 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5146 5149 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5147 5150 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5148 5151 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5149 5152
5150 5153 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5151 5154
5152 5155 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5153 5156 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5154 5157
5155 5158 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5156 5159
5157 5160 * Released 0.2.2.
5158 5161
5159 5162 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5160 5163 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5161 5164 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5162 5165 versions.
5163 5166
5164 5167 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5165 5168 (MayaVi author).

5167 5170 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5168 5171
5169 5172 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5170 5173 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5171 5174 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5172 5175 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5173 5176 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5174 5177
5175 5178 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5176 5179 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5177 5180
5178 5181 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5179 5182
5180 5183 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5181 5184 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5182 5185 nice, full-blown manual.
5183 5186
5184 5187 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5185 5188 trivially simple for end-users.
5186 5189
5187 5190 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5188 5191
5189 5192 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5190 5193 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5191 5194
5192 5195 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5193 5196 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5194 5197
5195 5198 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5196 5199
5197 5200 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5198 5201 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5199 5202 people to later upgrade versions.
5200 5203
5201 5204 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5202 5205 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5203 5206 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5204 5207 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5205 5208 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5206 5209 SystemExit).
5207 5210
5208 5211 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5209 5212 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5210 5213 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5211 5214 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5212 5215 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5213 5216
5214 5217 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5215 5218 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5216 5219 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5217 5220
5218 5221 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5219 5222
5220 5223 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5221 5224 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5222 5225
5223 5226 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5224 5227 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5225 5228 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5226 5229 html docs out of it will be found).
5227 5230
5228 5231 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5229 5232
5230 5233 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5231 5234 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5232 5235
5233 5236 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5234 5237
5235 5238 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5236 5239 visiting any directory in _dh.
5237 5240
5238 5241 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5239 5242 it out with numbers.
5240 5243
5241 5244 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5242 5245
5243 5246 * Released 0.1.22
5244 5247
5245 5248 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5246 5249 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5247 5250
5248 5251 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5249 5252 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5250 5253 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5251 5254 screen the necessary mail command.
5252 5255
5253 5256 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5254 5257 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5255 5258 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5256 5259
5257 5260 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5258 5261
5259 5262 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5260 5263 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5261 5264 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5262 5265 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5263 5266 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5264 5267 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5265 5268 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5266 5269 its name).
5267 5270
5268 5271 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5269 5272 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5270 5273 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5271 5274 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5272 5275
5273 5276 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5274 5277
5275 5278 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5276 5279 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5277 5280
5278 5281 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5279 5282 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5280 5283
5281 5284 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5282 5285 completion of @-starting lines.
5283 5286
5284 5287 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5285 5288 info that other files can read from.
5286 5289
5287 5290 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5288 5291 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5289 5292 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5290 5293 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5291 5294 restores produce less errors.
5292 5295
5293 5296 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5294 5297 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5295 5298 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5296 5299 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5297 5300 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5298 5301
5299 5302 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5300 5303 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5301 5304 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5302 5305 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5303 5306 with this, finally...
5304 5307
5305 5308 * Small documentation updates.
5306 5309
5307 5310 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5308 5311 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5309 5312 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5310 5313
5311 5314 * File renaming:
5312 5315 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5313 5316 ipplib --> iplib
5314 5317 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5315 5318
5316 5319 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5317 5320 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5318 5321 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5319 5322
5320 5323 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5321 5324 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5322 5325 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5323 5326
5324 5327 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5325 5328
5326 5329 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5327 5330 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5328 5331 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5329 5332 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5330 5333
5331 5334 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5332 5335 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5333 5336 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5334 5337
5335 5338 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5336 5339 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5337 5340 road.
5338 5341
5339 5342 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5340 5343 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5341 5344 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5342 5345 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5343 5346
5344 5347 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5345 5348
5346 5349 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5347 5350 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5348 5351 file accordingly.
5349 5352
5350 5353 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5351 5354 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5352 5355 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5353 5356 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5354 5357 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5355 5358 separators and proper padding and justification.
5356 5359
5357 5360 * Released 0.1.20
5358 5361
5359 5362 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5360 5363 copy operation was missing).
5361 5364
5362 5365 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5363 5366 its output is always quite long.
5364 5367
5365 5368 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5366 5369 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5367 5370 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5368 5371 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5369 5372
5370 5373 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5371 5374 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5372 5375 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5373 5376 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5374 5377
5375 5378 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5376 5379
5377 5380 * Released 0.1.19
5378 5381
5379 5382 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5380 5383 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5381 5384
5382 5385 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5383 5386 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5384 5387 comment on 'macros').
5385 5388
5386 5389 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5387 5390
5388 5391 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5389 5392 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5390 5393 statements and takes parameters.
5391 5394
5392 5395 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5393 5396
5394 5397 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5395 5398
5396 5399 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5397 5400
5398 5401 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5399 5402 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5400 5403
5401 5404 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5402 5405 ipythonrc-* samples.
5403 5406
5404 5407 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5405 5408 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5406 5409
5407 5410 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5408 5411 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5409 5412
5410 5413 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5411 5414
5412 5415 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5413 5416 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5414 5417 convention.
5415 5418
5416 5419 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5417 5420 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5418 5421
5419 5422 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5420 5423
5421 5424 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5422 5425 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5423 5426
5424 5427 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5425 5428 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5426 5429 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5427 5430 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5428 5431 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5429 5432 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5430 5433 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5431 5434 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5432 5435 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5433 5436 works.
5434 5437
5435 5438 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5436 5439
5437 5440 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5438 5441 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5439 5442 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5440 5443 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5441 5444 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5442 5445 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5443 5446 all the editors, less does that.
5444 5447
5445 5448 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5446 5449
5447 5450 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5448 5451 crash IPython.
5449 5452
5450 5453 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5451 5454
5452 5455 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5453 5456
5454 5457 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5455 5458 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5456 5459 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5457 5460 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5458 5461 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5459 5462 work in _ofind.
5460 5463
5461 5464 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5462 5465 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5463 5466 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5464 5467 (famous last words).
5465 5468
5466 5469 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5467 5470 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5468 5471 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5469 5472 windows).
5470 5473
5471 5474 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5472 5475 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5473 5476
5474 5477 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5475 5478 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5476 5479 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5477 5480 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5478 5481
5479 5482 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5480 5483 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5481 5484 licences and announce it.
5482 5485
5483 5486 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5484 5487 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5485 5488 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5486 5489 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5487 5490
5488 5491 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5489 5492
5490 5493 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5491 5494 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5492 5495 lists.
5493 5496
5494 5497 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5495 5498 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5496 5499 are ok.
5497 5500
5498 5501 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5499 5502 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5500 5503
5501 5504 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5502 5505 this to Nathan.
5503 5506
5504 5507 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5505 5508
5506 5509 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5507 5510 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5508 5511 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5509 5512
5510 5513 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5511 5514 accepted). Cleaner.
5512 5515
5513 5516 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5514 5517 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5515 5518 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5516 5519 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5517 5520 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5518 5521
5519 5522 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5520 5523
5521 5524 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5522 5525 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5523 5526 history after a log replay.
5524 5527
5525 5528 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5526 5529 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5527 5530 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5528 5531 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5529 5532 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5530 5533 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5531 5534
5532 5535 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5533 5536 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5534 5537 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5535 5538 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5536 5539 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5537 5540
5538 5541 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5539 5542
5540 5543 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5541 5544 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5542 5545 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5543 5546 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5544 5547 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5545 5548 one: cache_size.
5546 5549
5547 5550 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5548 5551 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5549 5552 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5550 5553 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5551 5554
5552 5555 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5553 5556 @ or not).
5554 5557
5555 5558 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5556 5559 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5557 5560 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5558 5561 about licensing).
5559 5562
5560 5563 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5561 5564
5562 5565 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5563 5566 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5564 5567
5565 5568 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5566 5569 screen size for page() operations.
5567 5570
5568 5571 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5569 5572 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5570 5573 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5571 5574 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5572 5575
5573 5576 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5574 5577 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5575 5578 option name tables are clearer.
5576 5579
5577 5580 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5578 5581 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5579 5582 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5580 5583 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5581 5584 was also changed a little to align better.
5582 5585
5583 5586 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5584 5587 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5585 5588
5586 5589 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5587 5590 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5588 5591 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5589 5592
5590 5593 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5591 5594 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5592 5595 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5593 5596 he needs it.
5594 5597
5595 5598 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5596 5599
5597 5600 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5598 5601 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5599 5602 warning on it.
5600 5603
5601 5604 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5602 5605 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5603 5606 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5604 5607 was too long).
5605 5608
5606 5609 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5607 5610 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5608 5611 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5609 5612
5610 5613 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5611 5614 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5612 5615 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5613 5616 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5614 5617 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5615 5618 function for the same task.
5616 5619
5617 5620 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5618 5621
5619 5622 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5620 5623
5621 5624 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5622 5625 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5623 5626 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5624 5627
5625 5628 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5626 5629 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5627 5630 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5628 5631
5629 5632 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5630 5633 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5631 5634 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5632 5635
5633 5636 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5634 5637
5635 5638 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5636 5639
5637 5640 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5638 5641 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5639 5642 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5640 5643
5641 5644 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5642 5645
5643 5646 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5644 5647
5645 5648 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5646 5649
5647 5650 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5648 5651 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5649 5652 maintain.
5650 5653
5651 5654 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5652 5655 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5653 5656 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5654 5657 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5655 5658 compiled and startup is much faster.
5656 5659
5657 5660 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5658 5661 while without messing too much more with the code.
5659 5662
5660 5663 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5661 5664
5662 5665 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5663 5666
5664 5667 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5665 5668 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5666 5669 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5667 5670
5668 5671 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5669 5672 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5670 5673
5671 5674 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5672 5675 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5673 5676 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5674 5677 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5675 5678 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5676 5679 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5677 5680
5678 5681 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5679 5682 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5680 5683
5681 5684 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5682 5685 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5683 5686
5684 5687 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5685 5688 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5686 5689 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5687 5690 excessive.
5688 5691
5689 5692 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5690 5693 types (only first word was displayed).
5691 5694
5692 5695 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5693 5696
5694 5697 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5695 5698
5696 5699 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5697 5700 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5698 5701 travel along many directories.
5699 5702
5700 5703 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5701 5704 arguments with default values.
5702 5705
5703 5706 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5704 5707
5705 5708 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5706 5709 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5707 5710
5708 5711 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5709 5712
5710 5713 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5711 5714 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5712 5715 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5713 5716
5714 5717 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5715 5718
5716 5719 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5717 5720 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5718 5721 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5719 5722 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5720 5723 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5721 5724 purposes.
5722 5725
5723 5726 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5724 5727 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5725 5728 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5726 5729 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5727 5730 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5728 5731 one can simply say
5729 5732 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5730 5733 or even
5731 5734 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5732 5735
5733 5736 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5734 5737 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5735 5738 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5736 5739
5737 5740 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5738 5741 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5739 5742 they were defined in
5740 5743
5741 5744 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5742 5745
5743 5746 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5744 5747 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5745 5748 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5746 5749 these to show the same information.
5747 5750
5748 5751 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5749 5752
5750 5753 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5751 5754 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5752 5755 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5753 5756 backtracked on the whole class!)
5754 5757
5755 5758 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5756 5759 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5757 5760 everything works as before).
5758 5761
5759 5762 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5760 5763 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5761 5764 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5762 5765 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5763 5766
5764 5767 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5765 5768
5766 5769 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5767 5770
5768 5771 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5769 5772 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5770 5773
5771 5774 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5772 5775 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5773 5776 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5774 5777 this later.
5775 5778
5776 5779 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5777 5780
5778 5781 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5779 5782 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5780 5783 line option.
5781 5784
5782 5785 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5783 5786 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5784 5787 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5785 5788 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5786 5789 didn't return a result).
5787 5790
5788 5791 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5789 5792
5790 5793 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5791 5794
5792 5795 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5793 5796 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5794 5797 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5795 5798 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5796 5799
5797 5800 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5798 5801
5799 5802 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5800 5803
5801 5804 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5802 5805 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5803 5806
5804 5807 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5805 5808 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5806 5809 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5807 5810 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5808 5811 in with the next entry:
5809 5812
5810 5813 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5811 5814 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5812 5815 handling.
5813 5816
5814 5817 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5815 5818 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5816 5819 namespace protection and documentation.
5817 5820
5818 5821 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5819 5822
5820 5823 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5821 5824 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5822 5825
5823 5826 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5824 5827
5825 5828 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5826 5829
5827 5830 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5828 5831
5829 5832 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5830 5833 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5831 5834 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5832 5835 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5833 5836 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5834 5837
5835 5838 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5836 5839 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5837 5840 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5838 5841
5839 5842 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5840 5843
5841 5844 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5842 5845 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5843 5846
5844 5847 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5845 5848
5846 5849 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5847 5850
5848 5851 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5849 5852 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5850 5853 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5851 5854 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5852 5855 ScientificPython.
5853 5856
5854 5857 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5855 5858
5856 5859 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5857 5860 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5858 5861 when called with no args.
5859 5862
5860 5863 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5861 5864 closely.
5862 5865
5863 5866 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5864 5867 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5865 5868 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5866 5869 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5867 5870 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5868 5871
5869 5872 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5870 5873
5871 5874 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5872 5875 customizations there and access them via import.
5873 5876
5874 5877 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5875 5878
5876 5879 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5877 5880
5878 5881 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5879 5882 Nathan and Janko.
5880 5883
5881 5884 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5882 5885
5883 5886 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5884 5887 too long.
5885 5888
5886 5889 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5887 5890
5888 5891 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5889 5892 ?sin and sin?
5890 5893 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5891 5894 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5892 5895 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5893 5896 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5894 5897
5895 5898 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5896 5899
5897 5900 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5898 5901
5899 5902 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5900 5903 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5901 5904
5902 5905 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5903 5906 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5904 5907 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5905 5908 me).
5906 5909
5907 5910 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5908 5911 protected (reasonably).
5909 5912
5910 5913 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5911 5914 note through it (it was too long).
5912 5915
5913 5916 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5914 5917 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5915 5918 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5916 5919 parameters.
5917 5920
5918 5921
5919 5922 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5920 5923
5921 5924 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5922 5925 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5923 5926 config files have normal looking names (not .names)

5925 5928 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5926 5929 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5927 5930 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.

5929 5932 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5930 5933
5931 5934 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5932 5935
5933 5936 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5934 5937
5935 5938 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5936 5939 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
5937 5940 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5938 5941 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5939 5942 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5940 5943 break.
5941 5944
5942 5945 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5943 5946 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5944 5947 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5945 5948 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5946 5949 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5947 5950 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5948 5951
5949 5952 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5950 5953 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5951 5954 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5952 5955 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5953 5956 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5954 5957 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5955 5958 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5956 5959 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5957 5960 trick.
5958 5961
5959 5962 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5960 5963 session restoring.
5961 5964
5962 5965 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5963 5966 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5964 5967 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5965 5968 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5966 5969 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5967 5970
5968 5971 * Started ChangeLog.
