2
3 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
4
5 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
6 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
7 no python installation required).
8
1 9 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
2 10
3 11 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
4 12 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
5 13
6 14 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
7 15
8 16 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
9 17 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
10 18 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
11 19
12 20 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
13 21
14 22 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
15 23 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
16 24
17 25 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
18 26
19 27 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
20 28 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
21 29
22 30 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
23 31 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
24 32
25 33 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
26 34 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
27 35 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
28 36
29 37 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
30 38
31 39 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
32 40 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
33 41 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
34 42 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
35 43
36 44 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
37 45 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
38 46
39 47 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
40 48
41 49 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
42 50 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
43 51 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
44 52 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>

48 56 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
49 57
50 58 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
51 59 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
52 60
53 61 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
54 62
55 63 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.

60 68 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
61 69
62 70 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

71 79
72 80 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
73 81 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
74 82 bug discovered by Ville).
75 83
76 84 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
77 85
78 86 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
79 87 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
80 88
81 89 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
82 90
83 91
84 92 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
85 93
86 94 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
87 95 Closes #149.
88 96
89 97 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
90 98 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
91 99 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
92 100
93 101 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
94 102
95 103 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
96 104 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
97 105 allows wildcards.
98 106
99 107 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
100 108 as opposed to returning nothing.
101 109
102 110 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
103 111 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
104 112
105 113 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
106 114
107 115 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
108 116 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
109 117
110 118 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
111 119
112 120 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
113 121 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
114 122
115 123 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
116 124
117 125 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
118 126 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
119 127 IPython instance.
120 128
121 129 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
122 130
123 131 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
124 132 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
125 133 'Iptl' template notation,
126 134
127 135 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
128 136 safer & faster 'import' completer.
129 137
130 138 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
131 139 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
132 140
133 141 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
134 142 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
135 143 defmacro() etc.)
136 144
137 145 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
138 146
139 147 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
140 148
141 149 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
142 150
143 151 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
144 152
145 153 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
146 154 and later on win32.
147 155
148 156 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
149 157
150 158 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
151 159
152 160 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
153 161
154 162 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
155 163 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
156 164
157 165 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
158 166
159 167 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
160 168
161 169 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
162 170
163 171 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
164 172
165 173 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
166 174
167 175 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
168 176 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
169 177 every %run call.
170 178
171 179 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
172 180 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
173 181 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
174 182
175 183 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
176 184
177 185 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
178 186 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
179 187 Stefan for the fix.
180 188
181 189 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
182 190 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
183 191 him.
184 192
185 193 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
186 194 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
187 195 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
188 196 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
189 197
190 198 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
191 199 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
192 200 each runcode access.
193 201
194 202 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
195 203 message.
196 204
197 205 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
198 206
199 207 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
200 208 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
201 209 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
202 210
203 211 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
204 212 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
205 213 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
206 214 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
207 215 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
208 216 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
209 217 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
210 218 anything up until we know if it actually works.
211 219
212 220 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
213 221 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
214 222 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
215 223 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
216 224 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
217 225
218 226 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
219 227
220 228 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
221 229 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
222 230 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
223 231
224 232 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
225 233
226 234 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
227 235 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
228 236 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
229 237
230 238 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
231 239
232 240 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
233 241 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
234 242 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
235 243 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
236 244 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
237 245
238 246 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
239 247
240 248 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
241 249 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
242 250
243 251 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
244 252 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
245 253 details in comments left in the code.
246 254
247 255 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
248 256 similar to what we had for Numeric.
249 257
250 258 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
251 259 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
252 260 than readline. Closes #109.
253 261
254 262 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
255 263 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
256 264
257 265 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
258 266
259 267 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
260 268 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
261 269 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
262 270 ongoing Unicode support work.
263 271
264 272 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
265 273 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
266 274 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
267 275 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
268 276
269 277 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
270 278
271 279 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
272 280 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
273 281
274 282 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
275 283
276 284 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
277 285 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
278 286 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
279 287
280 288 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
281 289
282 290 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
283 291 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
284 292 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
285 293 long definition lines for functions.
286 294
287 295 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
288 296
289 297 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
290 298 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
291 299 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
292 300 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
293 301
294 302 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
295 303
296 304 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
297 305
298 306 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
299 307
300 308 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
301 309 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
302 310 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
303 311
304 312 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
305 313 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
306 314
307 315 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
308 316 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
309 317
310 318 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
311 319
312 320 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
313 321 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
314 322 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
315 323
316 324 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
317 325
318 326 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
319 327 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
320 328
321 329 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
322 330 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
323 331 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
324 332 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
325 333 sometimes return "" as last element.
326 334
327 335 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
328 336
329 337 * IPython/completer.py
330 338 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
331 339 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
332 340 would be completed too early.
333 341
334 342 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
335 343 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
336 344 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
337 345 backwards compatibility.
338 346
339 347 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
340 348 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
341 349 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
342 350 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
343 351 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
344 352 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
345 353 also works when debugging.
346 354
347 355 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
348 356 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
349 357
350 358 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
351 359 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
352 360 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
353 361
354 362 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
355 363 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
356 364 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
357 365
358 366 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
359 367 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
360 368
361 369 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
362 370
363 371 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
364 372 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
365 373 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
366 374
367 375 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
368 376
369 377 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
370 378 to be installed alongside igrid.
371 379 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
372 380 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
373 381 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
374 382
375 383 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
376 384
377 385 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
378 386 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
379 387 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
380 388
381 389 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
382 390
383 391 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
384 392 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
385 393
386 394 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
387 395 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
388 396
389 397 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
390 398
391 399 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
392 400 as the default browser.
393 401 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
394 402 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
395 403 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
396 404 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
397 405
398 406 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
399 407
400 408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
401 409 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
402 410 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
403 411
404 412 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
405 413
406 414 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
407 415 Close help window if exiting igrid.
408 416
409 417 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
410 418
411 419 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
412 420 before calling functions from readline.
413 421
414 422 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
415 423
416 424 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
417 425 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
418 426 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
419 427 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
420 428 falls back to idump.
421 429
422 430 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
423 431
424 432 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
425 433 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
426 434 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
427 435 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
428 436
429 437 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
430 438
431 439 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
432 440 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
433 441 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
434 442 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
435 443 %magic with explicit % prefix.
436 444
437 445 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
438 446
439 447 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
440 448 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
441 449
442 450 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
443 451
444 452 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
445 453 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
446 454 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
447 455 one wants those instead.
448 456
449 457 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
450 458 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
451 459 instead.
452 460
453 461 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
454 462
455 463 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
456 464 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
457 465 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
458 466 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
459 467
460 468 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
461 469
462 470 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
463 471 stop marks.
464 472 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
465 473 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
466 474 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
467 475
468 476 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
469 477
470 478 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
471 479 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
472 480 sumbmitted to upstream.
473 481
474 482 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
475 483
476 484 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
477 485 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
478 486 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
479 487 running into an empty levels list later.
480 488
481 489 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
482 490
483 491 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
484 492 for the noitem object.
485 493
486 494 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
487 495
488 496 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
489 497 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
490 498 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
491 499 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
492 500
493 501 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
494 502
495 503 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
496 504 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
497 505 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
498 506 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
499 507 filenames.
500 508
501 509 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
502 510 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
503 511 out-of-process ipython code.
504 512
505 513 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
506 514 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
507 515 doctesting.
508 516
509 517 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
510 518
511 519 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
512 520
513 521 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
514 522 not being correctly recognized.
515 523
516 524 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
517 525
518 526 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
519 527 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
520 528 only item.
521 529
522 530 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
523 531 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
524 532 infinite recursion for one line strings).
525 533
526 534 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
527 535
528 536 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
529 537 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
530 538 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
531 539
532 540 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
533 541
534 542 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
535 543 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
536 544 "%env VISUAL=jed".
537 545
538 546 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
539 547
540 548 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
541 549 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
542 550 but I'm not exactly sure why).
543 551
544 552 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
545 553 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
546 554
547 555 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
548 556
549 557 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
550 558 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
551 559
552 560 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
553 561 the time during IPython startup is spent.
554 562
555 563 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
556 564
557 565 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
558 566
559 567 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
560 568
561 569 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
562 570
563 571 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
564 572
565 573 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
566 574 to work properly on posix too
567 575
568 576 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
569 577
570 578 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
571 579
572 580 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
573 581 prefix + "/scripts".
574 582
575 583 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
576 584
577 585 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
578 586
579 587 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
580 588 if they already exist
581 589
582 590 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
583 591
584 592 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 593
586 594 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
587 595
588 596 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
589 597
590 598 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
591 599 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
592 600 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
593 601
594 602 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
595 603
596 604 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
597 605 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
598 606 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
599 607
600 608 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
601 609 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
602 610 in ipy_user_conf.py
603 611
604 612
605 613 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
606 614 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
607 615 as IPython script.
608 616
609 617 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
610 618
611 619 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
612 620
613 621 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
614 622 is called before any exception has occurred.
615 623
616 624 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
617 625
618 626 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
619 627 to translate /'s to \'s again.
620 628
621 629 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
622 630 backslash.
623 631
624 632 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
625 633
626 634 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
627 635
628 636 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
629 637 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
630 638 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
631 639
632 640 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
633 641 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
634 642
635 643 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
636 644 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
637 645
638 646 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
639 647
640 648 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
641 649
642 650 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
643 651 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
644 652
645 653 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
646 654 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
647 655 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
648 656 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
649 657 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
650 658 mapped to "%" now.
651 659 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
652 660
653 661 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
654 662
655 663 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
656 664 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
657 665 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
658 666 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
659 667
660 668 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
661 669
662 670 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
663 671 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
664 672 for shell escapes.
665 673
666 674 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
667 675
668 676 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
669 677 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
670 678 vcs_completer.
671 679
672 680 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
673 681
674 682 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
675 683 directly instead!
676 684
677 685 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
678 686
679 687 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
680 688 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
681 689
682 690 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
683 691 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
684 692 explicit.
685 693
686 694 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
687 695 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
688 696
689 697 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
690 698
691 699 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
692 700
693 701 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
694 702 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
695 703 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
696 704 implementation for Text is useless.
697 705
698 706 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
699 707
700 708 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
701 709
702 710 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
703 711
704 712 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
705 713 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
706 714 "profile"
707 715
708 716 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
709 717
710 718 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
711 719 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
712 720
713 721 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
714 722 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
715 723
716 724
717 725 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
718 726 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
719 727 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
720 728
721 729 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
722 730
723 731 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
724 732 with one from UserConfig.
725 733
726 734 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
727 735 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
728 736
729 737 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
730 738 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
731 739 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
732 740
733 741 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
734 742
735 743 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
736 744
737 745 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
738 746
739 747 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
740 748
741 749 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
742 750
743 751 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
744 752
745 753 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
746 754
747 755 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
748 756
749 757 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
750 758 by eval of expr with dots.
751 759
752 760 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
753 761
754 762 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
755 763 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
756 764 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
757 765 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
758 766 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
759 767 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
760 768
761 769 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
762 770
763 771 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
764 772 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
765 773 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
766 774
767 775 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
768 776 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
769 777 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
770 778 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
771 779 funtionality in ipconfig.
772 780
773 781 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
774 782 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
775 783 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
776 784 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
777 785
778 786 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
779 787
780 788 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
781 789 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
782 790 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
783 791 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
784 792 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
785 793 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
786 794 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
787 795 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
788 796 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
789 797 descriptors.
790 798
791 799 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
792 800 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
793 801

801 809 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
802 810
803 811 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
804 812 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
805 813 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
806 814
807 815 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
808 816 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
809 817 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
810 818
811 819 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
812 820 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
813 821 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
814 822 ipy_stock_completers.
815 823
816 824 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
817 825
818 826 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
819 827
820 828 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both

822 830 when filtering possible completions.
823 831
824 832 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
825 833

827 835 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
828 836 function
829 837
830 838
831 839 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
832 840
833 841 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
834 842 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
835 843 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
836 844 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
837 845 SVN completer.
838 846
839 847 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
840 848 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
841 849 name is %led.
842 850
843 851 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
844 852
845 853 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky

847 855 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
848 856
849 857 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
850 858 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
851 859 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
852 860 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
853 861 hook name is 'complete_command'.
854 862
855 863 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
856 864
857 865 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
858 866 Numeric leftovers.
859 867
860 868 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
861 869 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
862 870
863 871 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
864 872 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
865 873
866 874 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
867 875 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
868 876
869 877 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
870 878 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
871 879 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
872 880
873 881 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
874 882
875 883 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
876 884 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
877 885 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
878 886
879 887 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
880 888 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
881 889
882 890 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
883 891
884 892 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
885 893 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
886 894 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
887 895
888 896 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
889 897
890 898 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
891 899 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
892 900 internal crash handler.
893 901
894 902 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
895 903 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
896 904 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
897 905 at the request of SAGE.
898 906
899 907 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
900 908
901 909 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
902 910 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
903 911
904 912 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
905 913 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
906 914 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
907 915 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
908 916
909 917 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
910 918 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
911 919 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
912 920
913 921 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
914 922
915 923 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
916 924 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
917 925 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
918 926
919 927 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
920 928 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
921 929
922 930 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
923 931
924 932 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
925 933 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
926 934 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
927 935 Stefan.
928 936
929 937 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
930 938
931 939 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
932 940 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
933 941 sys.stdout.close().
934 942
935 943 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
936 944
937 945 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
938 946 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
939 947 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
940 948 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
941 949
942 950 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
943 951 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
944 952 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
945 953
946 954 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
947 955 2.5.
948 956
949 957 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
950 958 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
951 959 interactively.
952 960
953 961 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
954 962
955 963 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
956 964 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
957 965
958 966 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
959 967
960 968 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
961 969 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
962 970 or only files.
963 971
964 972 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
965 973
966 974 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
967 975 they broke unittest
968 976
969 977 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
970 978
971 979 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
972 980 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
973 981 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
974 982 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
975 983
976 984 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
977 985
978 986 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
979 987 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
980 988 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
981 989 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
982 990 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
983 991
984 992 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
985 993
986 994 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
987 995 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
988 996
989 997 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
990 998
991 999 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
992 1000 the mode argument).
993 1001
994 1002 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
995 1003
996 1004 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
997 1005 not running under IPython.
998 1006
999 1007 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1000 1008 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1001 1009 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1002 1010 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1003 1011 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1004 1012 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1005 1013 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1006 1014 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1007 1015 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1008 1016 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1009 1017 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1010 1018 are still supported.
1011 1019
1012 1020 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1013 1021 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1014 1022 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1015 1023 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1016 1024
1017 1025 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1018 1026 encoding into methods.
1019 1027
1020 1028 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1021 1029
1022 1030 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1023 1031 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1024 1032
1025 1033 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1026 1034
1027 1035 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1028 1036 non existing attributes.
1029 1037
1030 1038 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1031 1039
1032 1040 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1033 1041 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1034 1042
1035 1043 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1036 1044
1037 1045 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1038 1046 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1039 1047
1040 1048 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1041 1049
1042 1050 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1043 1051 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1044 1052 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1045 1053
1046 1054 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1047 1055
1048 1056 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1049 1057 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1050 1058 Stefan van der Walt.
1051 1059
1052 1060 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1053 1061
1054 1062 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1055 1063 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1056 1064
1057 1065 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1058 1066
1059 1067 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1060 1068 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1061 1069 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1062 1070
1063 1071 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1064 1072
1065 1073 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1066 1074 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1067 1075 attributes.
1068 1076
1069 1077 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1070 1078
1071 1079 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1072 1080 commands into the methods implementing them.
1073 1081
1074 1082 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1075 1083
1076 1084 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1077 1085 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1078 1086 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1079 1087
1080 1088 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1081 1089
1082 1090 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1083 1091 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1084 1092
1085 1093 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1086 1094
1087 1095 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1088 1096 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1089 1097
1090 1098 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1091 1099
1092 1100 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1093 1101 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1094 1102 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1095 1103 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1096 1104 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1097 1105 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1098 1106 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1099 1107 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1100 1108 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1101 1109 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1102 1110 the x key to "delete".
1103 1111
1104 1112 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1105 1113
1106 1114 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1107 1115 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1108 1116 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1109 1117 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1110 1118
1111 1119 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1112 1120 prompt
1113 1121
1114 1122 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1115 1123
1116 1124 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1117 1125
1118 1126 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1119 1127 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1120 1128 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1121 1129 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1122 1130
1123 1131 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1124 1132
1125 1133 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1126 1134 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1127 1135 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1128 1136 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1129 1137 doesn't work properly yet.
1130 1138
1131 1139 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1132 1140
1133 1141 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1134 1142 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1135 1143 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1136 1144
1137 1145 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1138 1146
1139 1147 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1140 1148 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1141 1149 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1142 1150 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1143 1151 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1144 1152 execute commands.
1145 1153
1146 1154 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1147 1155
1148 1156 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1149 1157 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1150 1158
1151 1159 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1152 1160
1153 1161 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1154 1162 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1155 1163
1156 1164 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1157 1165
1158 1166 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1159 1167 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1160 1168 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1161 1169
1162 1170 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1163 1171
1164 1172 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1165 1173
1166 1174 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1167 1175 Repo tagged and release cut.
1168 1176
1169 1177 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1170 1178
1171 1179 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1172 1180 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1173 1181
1174 1182 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1175 1183 (for %upgrade)
1176 1184
1177 1185 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1178 1186
1179 1187 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1180 1188 instead of looping 20 times.
1181 1189
1182 1190 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1183 1191 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1184 1192 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1185 1193
1186 1194 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1187 1195 testing for release on 06/06.
1188 1196
1189 1197 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1190 1198
1191 1199 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1192 1200 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1193 1201 live in people's PATH.
1194 1202
1195 1203 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1196 1204 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1197 1205 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1198 1206 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1199 1207 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1200 1208
1201 1209 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1202 1210 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1203 1211
1204 1212 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1205 1213
1206 1214 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1207 1215 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1208 1216
1209 1217 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1210 1218
1211 1219 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1212 1220 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1213 1221 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1214 1222
1215 1223 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1216 1224
1217 1225 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1218 1226 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1219 1227 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1220 1228 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1221 1229
1222 1230 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1223 1231 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1224 1232 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1225 1233 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1226 1234
1227 1235 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1228 1236 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1229 1237 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1230 1238 work.
1231 1239
1232 1240 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1233 1241
1234 1242 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1235 1243 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1236 1244
1237 1245 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1238 1246 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1239 1247 author William Stein.
1240 1248
1241 1249 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1242 1250 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1243 1251 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1244 1252 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1245 1253 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1246 1254 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1247 1255 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1248 1256 objects more easily.
1249 1257
1250 1258 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1251 1259
1252 1260 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1253 1261 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1254 1262 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1255 1263 by Jeffrey Collins.
1256 1264
1257 1265 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1258 1266 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1259 1267 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1260 1268 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1261 1269
1262 1270 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1263 1271 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1264 1272 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1265 1273 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1266 1274
1267 1275 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1268 1276 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1269 1277 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1270 1278 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1271 1279 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1272 1280 compatibility)
1273 1281
1274 1282 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1275 1283 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1276 1284 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1277 1285
1278 1286 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1279 1287 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1280 1288 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1281 1289 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1282 1290 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1283 1291
1284 1292 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1285 1293 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1286 1294 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1287 1295
1288 1296 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1289 1297 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1290 1298 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1291 1299 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1292 1300 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1293 1301 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1294 1302 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1295 1303
1296 1304 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1297 1305 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1298 1306 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1299 1307
1300 1308 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1301 1309 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1302 1310 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1303 1311
1304 1312 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1305 1313 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1306 1314
1307 1315 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1308 1316
1309 1317 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1310 1318 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1311 1319 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1312 1320 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1313 1321 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1314 1322 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1315 1323 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1316 1324 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1317 1325 while running under SAGE.
1318 1326
1319 1327 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1320 1328
1321 1329 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1322 1330 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1323 1331 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1324 1332 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1325 1333
1326 1334 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1327 1335
1328 1336 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1329 1337 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1330 1338 updated.
1331 1339
1332 1340 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1333 1341 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1334 1342 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1335 1343 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1336 1344 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1337 1345
1338 1346 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1339 1347 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1340 1348 so more testing is needed...
1341 1349
1342 1350 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1343 1351
1344 1352 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1345 1353 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1346 1354 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1347 1355 when doing complex debugging.
1348 1356 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1349 1357 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1350 1358 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1351 1359 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1352 1360
1353 1361 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1354 1362
1355 1363 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1356 1364 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1357 1365 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1358 1366 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1359 1367
1360 1368 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1361 1369
1362 1370 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1363 1371 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1364 1372
1365 1373 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1366 1374
1367 1375 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1368 1376 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1369 1377 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1370 1378 been the one to acquire it.
1371 1379
1372 1380 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1373 1381
1374 1382 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1375 1383
1376 1384 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1377 1385
1378 1386 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1379 1387 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1380 1388 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1381 1389
1382 1390 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1383 1391 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1384 1392 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1385 1393 properly flush the output cache.
1386 1394
1387 1395 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1388 1396 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1389 1397
1390 1398 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1391 1399
1392 1400 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1393 1401 are quoted
1394 1402
1395 1403 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1396 1404
1397 1405 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1398 1406 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1399 1407
1400 1408 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1401 1409 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1402 1410
1403 1411 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1412
1405 1413 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1406 1414 %upgrade magic
1407 1415
1408 1416 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1409 1417
1410 1418 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1411 1419 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1412 1420 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1413 1421
1414 1422 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1415 1423
1416 1424 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1417 1425 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1418 1426
1419 1427 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1420 1428 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1421 1429 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1422 1430 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1423 1431 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1424 1432
1425 1433 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1426 1434
1427 1435 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1428 1436 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1429 1437
1430 1438 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1431 1439
1432 1440 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1433 1441 Torsten Marek.
1434 1442
1435 1443 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1436 1444
1437 1445 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1438 1446 line ranges works again.
1439 1447
1440 1448 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1441 1449
1442 1450 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1443 1451 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1444 1452 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1445 1453 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1446 1454 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1447 1455
1448 1456 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1449 1457 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1450 1458 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1451 1459 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1452 1460 more.
1453 1461
1454 1462 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1455 1463
1456 1464 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1457 1465 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1458 1466
1459 1467 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1460 1468
1461 1469 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1462 1470 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1463 1471
1464 1472 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1465 1473
1466 1474 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1467 1475
1468 1476 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1469 1477
1470 1478 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1471 1479
1472 1480 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1473 1481 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1474 1482 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1475 1483
1476 1484 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1477 1485
1478 1486 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1479 1487 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1480 1488 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1481 1489 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1482 1490
1483 1491 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1484 1492 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1485 1493
1486 1494 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1487 1495 contributed by marienz to close
1488 1496 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1489 1497
1490 1498 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1491 1499
1492 1500 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1493 1501
1494 1502 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1495 1503 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1496 1504 nonsense.
1497 1505
1498 1506 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1499 1507
1500 1508 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1501 1509 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1502 1510
1503 1511 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1504 1512
1505 1513 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1506 1514
1507 1515 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1508 1516 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1509 1517
1510 1518 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1511 1519
1512 1520 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1513 1521 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1514 1522 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1515 1523 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1516 1524 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1517 1525 SAGE team.
1518 1526 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1519 1527 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1520 1528
1521 1529 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1522 1530 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1523 1531 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1524 1532 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1525 1533 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1526 1534
1527 1535 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1528 1536
1529 1537 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1530 1538 correctly now (on Linux)
1531 1539
1532 1540 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1533 1541 warnings
1534 1542
1535 1543 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1536 1544
1537 1545 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1538 1546
1539 1547
1540 1548 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1541 1549
1542 1550 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1543 1551 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1544 1552 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1545 1553 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1546 1554 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1547 1555 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1548 1556 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1549 1557 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1550 1558
1551 1559 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1552 1560
1553 1561 * aliases can now be %store'd
1554 1562
1555 1563 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1556 1564 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1557 1565 at __init__.
1558 1566
1559 1567 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1560 1568 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1561 1569
1562 1570 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1563 1571
1564 1572 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1565 1573 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1566 1574 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1567 1575
1568 1576 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1569 1577
1570 1578 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1571 1579
1572 1580 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1573 1581
1574 1582 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1575 1583 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1576 1584 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1577 1585 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1578 1586
1579 1587 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1580 1588 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1581 1589
1582 1590 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1583 1591
1584 1592 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1585 1593 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1586 1594 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1587 1595 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1588 1596
1589 1597 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1590 1598 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1591 1599 usage.
1592 1600
1593 1601 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1594 1602 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1595 1603 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1596 1604
1597 1605 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1598 1606
1599 1607 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1600 1608 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1601 1609
1602 1610 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1603 1611 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1604 1612 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1605 1613
1606 1614 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1607 1615
1608 1616 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1609 1617
1610 1618 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1611 1619
1612 1620 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1613 1621 are now more helpful:
1614 1622 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1615 1623
1616 1624 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1617 1625
1618 1626 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1619 1627 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1620 1628
1621 1629 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1622 1630
1623 1631 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1624 1632 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1625 1633
1626 1634 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1627 1635 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1628 1636 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1629 1637
1630 1638 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1631 1639
1632 1640
1633 1641 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1634 1642
1635 1643 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1636 1644 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1637 1645
1638 1646 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1639 1647
1640 1648 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1641 1649 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1642 1650 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1643 1651 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1644 1652 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1645 1653 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1646 1654
1647 1655 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1648 1656
1649 1657 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1650 1658 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1651 1659 \python24\scripts).
1652 1660
1653 1661 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1654 1662 egg.
1655 1663
1656 1664 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1657 1665
1658 1666 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1659 1667
1660 1668 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1661 1669
1662 1670 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1663 1671
1664 1672 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1665 1673
1666 1674 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1667 1675 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1668 1676 \python24\scripts).
1669 1677
1670 1678 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1671 1679 egg.
1672 1680
1673 1681 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1674 1682
1675 1683 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1676 1684 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1677 1685 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1678 1686
1679 1687 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1680 1688 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1681 1689 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1682 1690 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1683 1691
1684 1692 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1685 1693 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1686 1694 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1687 1695 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1688 1696 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1689 1697 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1690 1698 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1691 1699 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1692 1700 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1693 1701 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1694 1702 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1695 1703 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1696 1704
1697 1705 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1698 1706
1699 1707 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1700 1708 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1701 1709 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1702 1710 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1703 1711
1704 1712 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1705 1713
1706 1714 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1707 1715 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1708 1716 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1709 1717 importing extensions easy.
1710 1718
1711 1719 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1712 1720 classes / instances of those classes.
1713 1721
1714 1722 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1715 1723 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1716 1724 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1717 1725 the user.
1718 1726
1719 1727 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1720 1728 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1721 1729 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1722 1730
1723 1731 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1724 1732
1725 1733 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1726 1734 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1727 1735 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1728 1736 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1729 1737 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1730 1738 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1731 1739 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1732 1740 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1733 1741 the method.
1734 1742
1735 1743 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1736 1744
1737 1745 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1738 1746 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1739 1747
1740 1748 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1741 1749
1742 1750 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1743 1751 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1744 1752 Vivian.
1745 1753
1746 1754 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1747 1755 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1748 1756 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1749 1757 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1750 1758 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1751 1759
1752 1760 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1753 1761
1754 1762 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1755 1763 that returns file contents on exit.
1756 1764
1757 1765 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1758 1766 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1759 1767 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1760 1768 sc files=ls
1761 1769 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1762 1770 print p,p.mtime
1763 1771
1764 1772 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1765 1773 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1766 1774 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1767 1775 instead of syntax error.
1768 1776
1769 1777
1770 1778 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1771 1779
1772 1780 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1773 1781 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1774 1782 data.
1775 1783
1776 1784 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1777 1785 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1778 1786 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1779 1787 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1780 1788
1781 1789 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1782 1790 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1783 1791 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1784 1792 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1785 1793 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1786 1794 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1787 1795
1788 1796 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1789 1797
1790 1798 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1791 1799 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1792 1800 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1793 1801 current dir.
1794 1802
1795 1803 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1796 1804 had to create new files.
1797 1805
1798 1806 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1799 1807 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1800 1808 future.
1801 1809
1802 1810 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1803 1811 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1804 1812 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1805 1813
1806 1814
1807 1815 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1808 1816
1809 1817 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1810 1818 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1811 1819 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1812 1820 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1813 1821 later.
1814 1822
1815 1823 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1816 1824 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1817 1825
1818 1826 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1819 1827
1820 1828 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1821 1829 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1822 1830 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1823 1831 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1824 1832 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1825 1833 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1826 1834
1827 1835 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1828 1836
1829 1837 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1830 1838 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1831 1839 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1832 1840 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1833 1841 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1834 1842 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1835 1843 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1836 1844 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1837 1845 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1838 1846 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1839 1847
1840 1848 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1841 1849 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1842 1850 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1843 1851 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1844 1852
1845 1853 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1846 1854 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1847 1855 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1848 1856 "setup.py install" between changes).
1849 1857
1850 1858 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1851 1859 if 1:
1852 1860 !ls
1853 1861 !!ls
1854 1862
1855 1863 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1856 1864
1857 1865 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1858 1866 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1859 1867 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1860 1868 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1861 1869
1862 1870 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1863 1871 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1864 1872 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1865 1873
1866 1874 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1867 1875
1868 1876 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1869 1877 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1870 1878 win32.
1871 1879
1872 1880 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1873 1881
1874 1882 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1875 1883
1876 1884 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1877 1885 ready for release.
1878 1886
1879 1887 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1880 1888 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1881 1889 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1882 1890 where to copy the info from.
1883 1891
1884 1892 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1885 1893
1886 1894 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1887 1895 support in the release tools as well.
1888 1896
1889 1897 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1890 1898
1891 1899 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1892 1900 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1893 1901 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1894 1902 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1895 1903
1896 1904 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1897 1905 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1898 1906 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1899 1907
1900 1908 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1901 1909 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1902 1910
1903 1911 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1904 1912 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1905 1913 printer not to work.
1906 1914
1907 1915 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1908 1916
1909 1917 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1910 1918 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1911 1919
1912 1920 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1913 1921
1914 1922 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1915 1923 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1916 1924 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1917 1925
1918 1926 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1919 1927 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1920 1928 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1921 1929
1922 1930 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1923 1931 Ville's patch.
1924 1932
1925 1933 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1926 1934
1927 1935 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1928 1936 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1929 1937 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1930 1938 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1931 1939 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1932 1940 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1933 1941 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1934 1942
1935 1943 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1936 1944 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1937 1945 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1938 1946
1939 1947 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1940 1948
1941 1949 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1942 1950 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1943 1951
1944 1952 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1945 1953 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1946 1954 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1947 1955 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1948 1956 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1949 1957 twister).
1950 1958
1951 1959 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1952 1960 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1953 1961 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1954 1962
1955 1963 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1956 1964 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1957 1965 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1958 1966 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1959 1967 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1960 1968 something inside the dis module.
1961 1969
1962 1970 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1963 1971
1964 1972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1965 1973 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1966 1974 follows the discussion in
1967 1975 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1968 1976
1969 1977 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1970 1978 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1971 1979 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1972 1980
1973 1981 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1974 1982 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1975 1983 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1976 1984
1977 1985 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1978 1986 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1979 1987 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1980 1988 speed up this routine.
1981 1989
1982 1990 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1983 1991 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1984 1992 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1985 1993 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1986 1994 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1987 1995 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1988 1996 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1989 1997 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1990 1998
1991 1999 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1992 2000 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1993 2001 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1994 2002
1995 2003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1996 2004 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1997 2005 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1998 2006 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1999 2007 setters don't do anything).
2000 2008
2001 2009 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2002 2010
2003 2011 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2004 2012 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2005 2013 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2006 2014 falling out of sync...)
2007 2015
2008 2016 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2009 2017 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2010 2018 as loops).
2011 2019
2012 2020 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2013 2021 win32 system access.
2014 2022
2015 2023 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2016 2024
2017 2025 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2018 2026 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2019 2027 thread-safe.
2020 2028 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2021 2029 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2022 2030 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2023 2031 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2024 2032 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2025 2033 can still happen.
2026 2034 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2027 2035 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2028 2036 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2029 2037 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2030 2038 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2031 2039 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2032 2040 cleanly.
2033 2041
2034 2042 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2035 2043 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2036 2044 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2037 2045 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2038 2046 users' persisted data.
2039 2047
2040 2048 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2041 2049 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2042 2050 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2043 2051 multiline input (such as macros).
2044 2052
2045 2053 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2046 2054 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2047 2055 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2048 2056 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2049 2057 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2050 2058 informative).
2051 2059
2052 2060 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2053 2061 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2054 2062
2055 2063 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2056 2064 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2057 2065 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2058 2066
2059 2067 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2060 2068 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2061 2069 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2062 2070 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2063 2071 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2064 2072 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2065 2073 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2066 2074 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2067 2075 details.
2068 2076
2069 2077 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2070 2078 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2071 2079 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2072 2080 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2073 2081 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2074 2082
2075 2083 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2076 2084 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2077 2085 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2078 2086 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2079 2087 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2080 2088
2081 2089 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2082 2090 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2083 2091 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2084 2092 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2085 2093 options to %logstart. Closes
2086 2094 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2087 2095 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2088 2096
2089 2097 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2090 2098
2091 2099 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2092 2100 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2093 2101 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2094 2102 list:
2095 2103 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2096 2104
2097 2105 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2098 2106
2099 2107 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2100 2108 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2101 2109 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2102 2110 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2103 2111
2104 2112 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2105 2113 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2106 2114 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2107 2115 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2108 2116 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2109 2117
2110 2118 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2111 2119 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2112 2120 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2113 2121 true by default.
2114 2122
2115 2123 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2116 2124 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2117 2125 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2118 2126 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2119 2127
2120 2128 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2121 2129
2122 2130 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2123 2131 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2124 2132 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2125 2133 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2126 2134 version committed).
2127 2135
2128 2136 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2129 2137 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2130 2138 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2131 2139 discussion on the user list.
2132 2140
2133 2141 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2134 2142 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2135 2143 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2136 2144 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2137 2145
2138 2146 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2139 2147
2140 2148 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2141 2149 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2142 2150 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2143 2151
2144 2152 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2145 2153 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2146 2154 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2147 2155
2148 2156 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2149 2157 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2150 2158 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2151 2159 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2152 2160 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2153 2161 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2154 2162 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2155 2163 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2156 2164 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2157 2165 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2158 2166 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2159 2167 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2160 2168 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2161 2169 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2162 2170 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2163 2171 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2164 2172 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2165 2173 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2166 2174 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2167 2175 branch refactoring.
2168 2176
2169 2177 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2170 2178
2171 2179 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2172 2180 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2173 2181
2174 2182 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2175 2183 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2176 2184 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2177 2185 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2178 2186 worked correctly).
2179 2187
2180 2188 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2181 2189 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2182 2190 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2183 2191
2184 2192 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2185 2193
2186 2194 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2187 2195 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2188 2196 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2189 2197 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2190 2198 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2191 2199 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2192 2200 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2193 2201 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2194 2202
2195 2203 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2196 2204
2197 2205 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2198 2206 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2199 2207 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2200 2208 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2201 2209 on this.
2202 2210
2203 2211 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2204 2212
2205 2213 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2206 2214 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2207 2215 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2208 2216 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2209 2217 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2210 2218
2211 2219 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2212 2220
2213 2221 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2214 2222 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2215 2223 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2216 2224 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2217 2225
2218 2226 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2219 2227
2220 2228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2221 2229 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2222 2230 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2223 2231
2224 2232 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2225 2233
2226 2234 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2227 2235 startup time.
2228 2236
2229 2237 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2230 2238 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2231 2239 it's working in all cases.
2232 2240
2233 2241 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2234 2242 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2235 2243 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2236 2244 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2237 2245 per-search basis.

2239 2247 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2240 2248
2241 2249 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2242 2250 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2243 2251 of a patch by Jorgen.
2244 2252
2245 2253 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2246 2254
2247 2255 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2248 2256 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2249 2257 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2250 2258
2251 2259 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2252 2260
2253 2261 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2254 2262 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2255 2263 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2256 2264 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2257 2265
2258 2266 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2259 2267
2260 2268 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2261 2269 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2262 2270 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2263 2271 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2264 2272 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2265 2273 implementing this functionality.
2266 2274
2267 2275 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2268 2276
2269 2277 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2270 2278 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2271 2279 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2272 2280 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2273 2281 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2274 2282 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2275 2283 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2276 2284
2277 2285 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2278 2286
2279 2287 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2280 2288 reported by Stephen Walton.
2281 2289
2282 2290 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2283 2291
2284 2292 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2285 2293
2286 2294 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2287 2295 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2288 2296
2289 2297 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2290 2298
2291 2299 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2292 2300 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2293 2301
2294 2302 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2295 2303 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2296 2304
2297 2305 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2298 2306
2299 2307 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2300 2308 finishing.
2301 2309
2302 2310 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2303 2311 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2304 2312
2305 2313 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2306 2314 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2307 2315 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2308 2316
2309 2317 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2310 2318 code, handy in general.
2311 2319
2312 2320 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2313 2321 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2314 2322 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2315 2323
2316 2324 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2317 2325
2318 2326 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2319 2327 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2320 2328 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2321 2329 testing, though.
2322 2330 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2323 2331 like this before...
2324 2332
2325 2333 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2326 2334 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2327 2335
2328 2336 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2329 2337 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2330 2338
2331 2339 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2332 2340
2333 2341 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2334 2342 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2335 2343 F. Mantegazza.
2336 2344
2337 2345 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2338 2346
2339 2347 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2340 2348 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2341 2349 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2342 2350
2343 2351 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2344 2352 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2345 2353 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2346 2354 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2347 2355 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2348 2356 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2349 2357
2350 2358 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2351 2359
2352 2360 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2353 2361 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2354 2362 beyond readline-based environments.
2355 2363
2356 2364 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2357 2365
2358 2366 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2359 2367
2360 2368 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2361 2369 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2362 2370 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2363 2371 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2364 2372 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2365 2373
2366 2374 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2367 2375
2368 2376 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2369 2377 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2370 2378 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2371 2379
2372 2380 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2373 2381
2374 2382 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2375 2383
2376 2384 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2377 2385
2378 2386 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2379 2387 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2380 2388 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2381 2389 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2382 2390 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2383 2391 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2384 2392
2385 2393 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2386 2394
2387 2395 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2388 2396
2389 2397 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2390 2398
2391 2399 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2392 2400 invalid $HOME under win32.
2393 2401
2394 2402 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2403
2396 2404 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2397 2405 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2398 2406 simpler and a bit faster.
2399 2407
2400 2408 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2401 2409 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2402 2410 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2403 2411 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2404 2412 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2405 2413
2406 2414 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2407 2415 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2408 2416 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2409 2417
2410 2418 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2411 2419 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2412 2420
2413 2421 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2414 2422 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2415 2423 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2416 2424 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2417 2425 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2418 2426 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2419 2427 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2420 2428
2421 2429 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2422 2430
2423 2431 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2424 2432
2425 2433 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2426 2434
2427 2435 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2428 2436 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2429 2437
2430 2438 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2431 2439
2432 2440 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2433 2441 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2434 2442 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2435 2443 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2436 2444 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2437 2445 for the contribution.
2438 2446
2439 2447 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2440 2448 slightly modified version of the patch in
2441 2449 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2442 2450 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2443 2451 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2444 2452
2445 2453 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2446 2454
2447 2455 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2448 2456 I/O a bit more.
2449 2457
2450 2458 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2451 2459 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2452 2460
2453 2461 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2454 2462
2455 2463 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2464
2457 2465 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2458 2466 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2459 2467 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2460 2468 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2461 2469
2462 2470 readline_remove_delims -/~
2463 2471
2464 2472
2465 2473 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

2467 2475 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2468 2476
2469 2477 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2470 2478 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2471 2479 <eli@gondolin.net>
2472 2480
2473 2481 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2474 2482
2475 2483 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2476 2484 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2477 2485
2478 2486 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2479 2487
2480 2488 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2481 2489 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2482 2490 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2483 2491
2484 2492 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2485 2493
2486 2494 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2487 2495 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2488 2496
2489 2497 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2490 2498
2491 2499 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2492 2500 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2493 2501
2494 2502 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2495 2503 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2496 2504 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2497 2505 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2498 2506 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2499 2507 for more details.
2500 2508
2501 2509 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2502 2510 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2503 2511 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2504 2512 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2505 2513
2506 2514 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2507 2515
2508 2516 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2509 2517 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2510 2518 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2511 2519 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2512 2520 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2513 2521
2514 2522 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2515 2523 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2516 2524 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2517 2525
2518 2526 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2519 2527
2520 2528 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2521 2529
2522 2530 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2523 2531
2524 2532 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2525 2533 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2526 2534 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2527 2535 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2528 2536 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2529 2537
2530 2538 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2531 2539
2532 2540 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2533 2541
2534 2542 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2535 2543 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2536 2544 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2537 2545 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2538 2546 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2539 2547
2540 2548 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2541 2549 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2542 2550 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2543 2551 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2544 2552 take the text parameter.
2545 2553
2546 2554 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2547 2555 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2548 2556 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2549 2557 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2550 2558 pysh profile to include the line
2551 2559
2552 2560 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2553 2561
2554 2562 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2555 2563 delete pysh.py and the line
2556 2564
2557 2565 execfile pysh.py
2558 2566
2559 2567 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2560 2568
2561 2569 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2562 2570 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2563 2571 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2564 2572 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2565 2573 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2566 2574
2567 2575 * pysh.py:
2568 2576
2569 2577 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2570 2578
2571 2579 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2572 2580 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2573 2581 want it can still turn it off.
2574 2582
2575 2583 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2576 2584 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2577 2585 off by default.
2578 2586
2579 2587 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2580 2588 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2581 2589 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2582 2590 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2583 2591 calls.

2587 2595 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2588 2596 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2589 2597 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2590 2598
2591 2599 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2592 2600
2593 2601 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2594 2602 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2595 2603 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2596 2604 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2597 2605
2598 2606 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2599 2607 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2600 2608 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2601 2609 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2602 2610
2603 2611 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2604 2612
2605 2613 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2606 2614 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2607 2615
2608 2616 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2609 2617 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2610 2618 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2611 2619 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2612 2620 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2613 2621 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2614 2622 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2615 2623 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2616 2624
2617 2625 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2618 2626
2619 2627 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2620 2628 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2621 2629 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2622 2630 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2623 2631 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2624 2632 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2625 2633 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2626 2634 add new completers at runtime.
2627 2635
2628 2636 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2629 2637
2630 2638 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2631 2639 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2632 2640 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2633 2641 ? system.
2634 2642
2635 2643 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2636 2644 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2637 2645 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2638 2646 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2639 2647 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2640 2648 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2641 2649 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2642 2650 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2643 2651
2644 2652 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2645 2653
2646 2654 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2647 2655 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2648 2656 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2649 2657 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2650 2658 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2651 2659
2652 2660 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2653 2661 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2654 2662 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2655 2663 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2656 2664 add:
2657 2665
2658 2666 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2659 2667 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2660 2668
2661 2669 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2662 2670
2663 2671 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2664 2672 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2665 2673 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2666 2674 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2667 2675
2668 2676 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2669 2677 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2670 2678 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2671 2679 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2672 2680 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2673 2681 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2674 2682 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2675 2683 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2676 2684 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2677 2685
2678 2686 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2679 2687
2680 2688 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2681 2689 prompt namespace handling.
2682 2690
2683 2691 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2684 2692
2685 2693 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2686 2694 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2687 2695 trips the emacs python mode).
2688 2696 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2689 2697 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2690 2698 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2691 2699 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2692 2700 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2693 2701 calls will be made at runtime.
2694 2702
2695 2703 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2696 2704
2697 2705 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2698 2706 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2699 2707 the call to %history.
2700 2708

2702 2710
2703 2711 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2712
2705 2713 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2706 2714 ipmagic() function calls.
2707 2715
2708 2716 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2709 2717 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2710 2718
2711 2719 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2712 2720
2713 2721 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2714 2722 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2715 2723 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2716 2724 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2717 2725 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2718 2726 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2719 2727 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2720 2728 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2721 2729
2722 2730 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2723 2731
2724 2732 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2725 2733 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2726 2734 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2727 2735 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2728 2736 Ville Vainio.
2729 2737
2730 2738 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2731 2739
2732 2740 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2733 2741 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2734 2742 define the ones they personally like.
2735 2743
2736 2744 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2737 2745
2738 2746 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2739 2747 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2740 2748
2741 2749 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2742 2750
2743 2751 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2744 2752 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2745 2753
2746 2754 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2747 2755 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2748 2756 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2749 2757 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2750 2758 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2751 2759 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2752 2760 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2753 2761 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2754 2762
2755 2763 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2756 2764 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2757 2765 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2758 2766 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2759 2767 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2760 2768
2761 2769 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2762 2770
2763 2771 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2764 2772 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2765 2773 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2766 2774
2767 2775 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2768 2776 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2769 2777 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2770 2778
2771 2779 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2772 2780
2773 2781 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2774 2782
2775 2783 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2776 2784 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2777 2785 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2778 2786 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2779 2787 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2780 2788 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2781 2789 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2782 2790 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2783 2791 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2784 2792 system is a separate implementation).
2785 2793
2786 2794 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2787 2795 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2788 2796 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2789 2797 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2790 2798 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2791 2799 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2792 2800 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2793 2801 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2794 2802 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2795 2803 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2796 2804 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2797 2805
2798 2806 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2799 2807
2800 2808 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2801 2809 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2802 2810 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2803 2811 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2804 2812 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2805 2813 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2806 2814 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2807 2815 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2808 2816
2809 2817 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2810 2818
2811 2819 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2812 2820 previous call produced a syntax error.
2813 2821
2814 2822 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2815 2823 classes without constructor.
2816 2824
2817 2825 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2818 2826
2819 2827 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2820 2828 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2821 2829 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2822 2830 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2823 2831 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2824 2832 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2825 2833 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2826 2834
2827 2835 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2836
2829 2837 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2830 2838 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2831 2839
2832 2840 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2833 2841
2834 2842 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2835 2843 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2836 2844 optimizations.
2837 2845
2838 2846 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2839 2847 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2840 2848
2841 2849 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2842 2850
2843 2851 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2844 2852 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2845 2853 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2846 2854 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2847 2855 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2848 2856 avoid annoying the lists further.

2852 2860 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2853 2861
2854 2862 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2855 2863 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2856 2864 norm definitions.
2857 2865 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2858 2866 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2859 2867 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2860 2868
2861 2869 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2862 2870 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2863 2871 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2864 2872 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2865 2873 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2866 2874
2867 2875 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2868 2876 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2869 2877 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2870 2878 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2871 2879
2872 2880 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2873 2881 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2874 2882 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2875 2883 fixes.
2876 2884
2877 2885 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2878 2886 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2879 2887 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2880 2888 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2881 2889 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2882 2890 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2883 2891 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2887 2895 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2888 2896
2889 2897 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2890 2898 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2891 2899 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2892 2900 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2893 2901 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2894 2902 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2895 2903 Panel.
2896 2904
2897 2905 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2898 2906 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2899 2907 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2900 2908 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2901 2909 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2902 2910
2903 2911 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2904 2912
2905 2913 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2906 2914 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2907 2915

2910 2918 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2911 2919
2912 2920 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2913 2921 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2914 2922 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2915 2923 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2916 2924 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2917 2925 python shell.
2918 2926
2919 2927 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2920 2928 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2921 2929 on assignments. This closes
2922 2930 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2923 2931 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2924 2932 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2926 2934 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2927 2935
2928 2936 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2929 2937 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.

2933 2941 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2934 2942
2935 2943 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2936 2944 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2937 2945
2938 2946 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2947
2940 2948 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2941 2949 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2942 2950 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2943 2951
2944 2952 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2945 2953
2946 2954 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2947 2955 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2948 2956 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2949 2957
2950 2958 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2951 2959
2952 2960 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2953 2961 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2954 2962 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2955 2963
2956 2964 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2957 2965 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2958 2966 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2959 2967
2960 2968 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2961 2969
2962 2970 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2963 2971 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2964 2972
2965 2973 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2974
2967 2975 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2968 2976 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2969 2977 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2970 2978
2971 2979 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2972 2980
2973 2981 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2974 2982 reported by Prabhu.
2975 2983 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2976 2984 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2977 2985 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2978 2986
2979 2987 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2980 2988 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2981 2989
2982 2990 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2983 2991 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2984 2992 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2985 2993 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2986 2994 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2987 2995 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2988 2996
2989 2997 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2990 2998
2991 2999 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2992 3000
2993 3001 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2994 3002 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2995 3003 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2996 3004 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2997 3005
2998 3006 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2999 3007 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3000 3008
3001 3009 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3002 3010 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3003 3011 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3004 3012 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3005 3013 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3006 3014 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3007 3015 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3008 3016
3009 3017 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3010 3018 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3011 3019 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3012 3020
3013 3021 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3014 3022 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3015 3023 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3016 3024 before.
3017 3025
3018 3026 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3019 3027
3020 3028 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3021 3029 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3022 3030 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3023 3031 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3024 3032
3025 3033 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3026 3034 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3027 3035 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3028 3036 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3029 3037 timing very short-running code.
3030 3038
3031 3039 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3032 3040 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3033 3041 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3034 3042 utility.
3035 3043
3036 3044 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3037 3045 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3038 3046 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3039 3047 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3040 3048 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3041 3049 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3042 3050 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3043 3051 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3044 3052
3045 3053 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3046 3054 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3047 3055 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3048 3056
3049 3057 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3050 3058 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3051 3059 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3052 3060 is for).
3053 3061
3054 3062 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3055 3063 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3056 3064 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3057 3065 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3058 3066 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3059 3067
3060 3068 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3061 3069
3062 3070 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3063 3071 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3064 3072 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3065 3073 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3066 3074 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3067 3075
3068 3076 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3069 3077 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3070 3078 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3071 3079 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3072 3080 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3073 3081 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3074 3082
3075 3083 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3076 3084
3077 3085 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3078 3086 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3079 3087
3080 3088 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3081 3089
3082 3090 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3083 3091 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3084 3092 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3085 3093 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3086 3094
3087 3095 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3088 3096
3089 3097 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3090 3098
3091 3099 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3092 3100 setting with -d option.
3093 3101
3094 3102 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3095 3103 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3096 3104 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3097 3105 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3098 3106
3099 3107 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3100 3108
3101 3109 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3102 3110 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3103 3111
3104 3112 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3105 3113 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3106 3114 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3107 3115 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3108 3116 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3109 3117 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3110 3118 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3111 3119 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3112 3120 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3113 3121 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3114 3122 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3115 3123
3116 3124 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3117 3125
3118 3126 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3119 3127 cache when empty lines were present.
3120 3128
3121 3129 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3122 3130
3123 3131 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3124 3132 options for WX and GTK.
3125 3133
3126 3134 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3127 3135
3128 3136 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3129 3137 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3130 3138 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3131 3139 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3132 3140 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3133 3141 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3134 3142 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3135 3143
3136 3144 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3137 3145 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3138 3146
3139 3147 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3140 3148
3141 3149 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3142 3150 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3143 3151 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3144 3152 many thanks.
3145 3153
3146 3154 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3147 3155 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3148 3156 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3149 3157
3150 3158 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3151 3159
3152 3160 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3153 3161 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3154 3162 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3155 3163
3156 3164 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3157 3165
3158 3166 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3159 3167
3160 3168 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3161 3169 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3162 3170 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3163 3171
3164 3172 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3165 3173
3166 3174 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3167 3175 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3168 3176
3169 3177 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3170 3178
3171 3179 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3172 3180 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3173 3181 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3174 3182 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3175 3183 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3176 3184 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3177 3185 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3178 3186
3179 3187 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3180 3188
3181 3189 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3182 3190 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3183 3191 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3184 3192 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3185 3193
3186 3194 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3187 3195 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3188 3196
3189 3197 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3190 3198
3191 3199 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3192 3200 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3193 3201
3194 3202 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3195 3203 use throughout ipython.
3196 3204
3197 3205 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3198 3206 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3199 3207
3200 3208 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3201 3209 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3202 3210 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3203 3211 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3204 3212
3205 3213 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3206 3214
3207 3215 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3208 3216 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3209 3217 report by Francesc Alted.
3210 3218
3211 3219 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3212 3220
3213 3221 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3214 3222 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3215 3223
3216 3224 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3217 3225
3218 3226 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3219 3227 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3220 3228 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3221 3229 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3222 3230 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3223 3231 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3224 3232 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3225 3233 correctly set.
3226 3234
3227 3235 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3228 3236
3229 3237 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3230 3238 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3231 3239 import requirement of PEP-328.
3232 3240
3233 3241 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3234 3242 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3235 3243 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3236 3244 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3237 3245
3238 3246 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3239 3247
3240 3248 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3241 3249
3242 3250 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3243 3251 via a normal python function call.
3244 3252
3245 3253 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3246 3254 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3247 3255 2.4.
3248 3256
3249 3257 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3250 3258
3251 3259 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3252 3260 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3253 3261 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3254 3262 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3255 3263 is given to the user).
3256 3264
3257 3265 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3266
3259 3267 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3260 3268 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3261 3269 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3262 3270 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3263 3271
3264 3272 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3265 3273 python 2.2.
3266 3274
3267 3275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3268 3276 banner arg for embedded customization.
3269 3277
3270 3278 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3271 3279 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3272 3280 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3273 3281 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3274 3282 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3275 3283 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3276 3284
3277 3285 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3278 3286 minor changes to debian dir.
3279 3287
3280 3288 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3281 3289 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3282 3290 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3283 3291 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).

3287 3295 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3288 3296 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3289 3297 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3290 3298 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3291 3299 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3292 3300
3293 3301 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3294 3302
3295 3303 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3296 3304 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3297 3305
3298 3306 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3299 3307
3300 3308 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3301 3309 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3302 3310
3303 3311 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3304 3312
3305 3313 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3306 3314
3307 3315 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3308 3316 updated.
3309 3317
3310 3318 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3311 3319
3312 3320 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3313 3321 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3314 3322 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3315 3323 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3316 3324 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3317 3325
3318 3326 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3319 3327 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3320 3328 split regexp. Closes
3321 3329 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3322 3330 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3323 3331 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3324 3332 extensions.
3325 3333
3326 3334 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3327 3335 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3328 3336 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3329 3337 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3330 3338 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3331 3339
3332 3340 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3333 3341 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3334 3342 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3335 3343 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3336 3344
3337 3345 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3338 3346 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3339 3347
3340 3348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3341 3349 fine-tune banner.
3342 3350
3343 3351 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3344 3352 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3345 3353
3346 3354 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3355
3348 3356 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3349 3357 were missing.
3350 3358
3351 3359 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3352 3360 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3353 3361 valid at the command line.
3354 3362
3355 3363 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3356 3364 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3357 3365
3358 3366 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3359 3367
3360 3368 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3361 3369 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3362 3370 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3363 3371
3364 3372 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3365 3373
3366 3374 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3367 3375 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3368 3376 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3369 3377 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3370 3378 continue to use the standard profiler.
3371 3379
3372 3380 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3373 3381
3374 3382 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3375 3383 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3376 3384 close.
3377 3385
3378 3386 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3387
3380 3388 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3381 3389 in Magic and ultraTB.
3382 3390
3383 3391 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3384 3392
3385 3393 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3386 3394 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3387 3395 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3388 3396 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3389 3397
3390 3398 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3391 3399 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3392 3400 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3393 3401 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3394 3402 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3395 3403 infrastructure in place.
3396 3404
3397 3405 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3398 3406
3399 3407 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3400 3408
3401 3409 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3402 3410 the pylab profile.
3403 3411
3404 3412 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3405 3413
3406 3414 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3407 3415
3408 3416 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3409 3417 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3410 3418 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3411 3419 itself.
3412 3420
3413 3421 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3414 3422 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3415 3423 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3416 3424 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3417 3425 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3418 3426 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3419 3427 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3420 3428 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3421 3429
3422 3430 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3423 3431 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3424 3432
3425 3433 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3426 3434
3427 3435 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3428 3436 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3429 3437 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3430 3438
3431 3439 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3432 3440
3433 3441 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3434 3442 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3435 3443
3436 3444 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3437 3445
3438 3446 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3439 3447
3440 3448 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3441 3449
3442 3450 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3443 3451
3444 3452 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3445 3453 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3446 3454 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3447 3455
3448 3456 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3449 3457
3450 3458 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3451 3459 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3452 3460 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3453 3461 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3454 3462 works.
3455 3463
3456 3464 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3457 3465 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3458 3466 practice.
3459 3467
3460 3468 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3461 3469
3462 3470 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3463 3471 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3464 3472 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3465 3473
3466 3474 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3467 3475
3468 3476 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3469 3477 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3470 3478 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3471 3479 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3472 3480
3473 3481 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3474 3482
3475 3483 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3476 3484 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3477 3485 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3478 3486 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3479 3487
3480 3488 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3481 3489
3482 3490 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3483 3491
3484 3492 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3485 3493 fail for any number.
3486 3494 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3487 3495 empty bookmarks.
3488 3496
3489 3497 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3490 3498
3491 3499 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3492 3500
3493 3501 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3494 3502
3495 3503 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3496 3504 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3497 3505
3498 3506 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3499 3507 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3500 3508
3501 3509 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3502 3510
3503 3511 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3504 3512 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3505 3513 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3506 3514 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3507 3515 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3508 3516
3509 3517 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3510 3518
3511 3519 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3512 3520 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3513 3521
3514 3522 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3523
3516 3524 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3517 3525 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3518 3526 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3519 3527 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3520 3528
3521 3529 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3522 3530 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3523 3531 Schmolck.
3524 3532
3525 3533 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3526 3534
3527 3535 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3528 3536
3529 3537 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3530 3538 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3531 3539
3532 3540 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3533 3541 optimizations.
3534 3542
3535 3543 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3536 3544 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3537 3545
3538 3546 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3539 3547 --Started changelog.
3540 3548 --make clear do what it say it does
3541 3549 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3542 3550 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3543 3551 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3544 3552 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3545 3553 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3546 3554 can be done for other cases.
3547 3555 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3548 3556 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3549 3557 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3550 3558
3551 3559 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3552 3560 --added logfile rotation
3553 3561 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3554 3562
3555 3563 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3556 3564 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3557 3565 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3558 3566 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3559 3567 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3560 3568 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3561 3569 --added global logfile option
3562 3570 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3563 3571 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3564 3572
3565 3573 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3566 3574 --added a README
3567 3575 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3568 3576 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3569 3577 bug or feature.
3570 3578 --changed rc file for new behavior
3571 3579
3572 3580 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3573 3581
3574 3582 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3575 3583 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3576 3584 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3577 3585
3578 3586 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3579 3587 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3580 3588
3581 3589 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3582 3590
3583 3591 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3584 3592 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3585 3593 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3586 3594 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3587 3595 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3588 3596 and prepended with a #.
3589 3597
3590 3598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3591 3599 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3592 3600
3593 3601 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3594 3602
3595 3603 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3596 3604 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3597 3605
3598 3606 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3599 3607
3600 3608 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3601 3609 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3602 3610
3603 3611 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3604 3612
3605 3613 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3606 3614 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3607 3615 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3608 3616
3609 3617 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3610 3618
3611 3619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3612 3620 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3613 3621
3614 3622 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3615 3623 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3616 3624 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3617 3625 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3618 3626 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3619 3627 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3620 3628 be implemented later).
3621 3629
3622 3630 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3623 3631 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3624 3632 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3625 3633 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3626 3634
3627 3635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3628 3636 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3629 3637 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3630 3638
3631 3639 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3632 3640 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3633 3641
3634 3642 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3635 3643 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3636 3644 readline make it impossible to go further.
3637 3645
3638 3646 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3639 3647
3640 3648 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3641 3649 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3642 3650
3643 3651 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3644 3652
3645 3653 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3646 3654 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3647 3655 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3648 3656 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3649 3657
3650 3658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3651 3659 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3652 3660 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3653 3661 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3654 3662
3655 3663 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3656 3664 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3657 3665 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3658 3666 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3659 3667 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3660 3668 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3661 3669 problem.
3662 3670
3663 3671 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3664 3672 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3665 3673
3666 3674 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3667 3675 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3668 3676 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3669 3677
3670 3678 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3671 3679
3672 3680 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3673 3681 continue prompts.
3674 3682
3675 3683 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3676 3684 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3677 3685 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3678 3686 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3679 3687 byte-compilation saves time.
3680 3688
3681 3689 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3682 3690
3683 3691 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3684 3692 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3685 3693
3686 3694 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3687 3695 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3688 3696
3689 3697 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3690 3698 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3691 3699 common cases where it's a problem.
3692 3700
3693 3701 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3694 3702
3695 3703 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3696 3704 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3697 3705 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3698 3706 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3699 3707 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3700 3708 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3701 3709
3702 3710 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3703 3711
3704 3712 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3705 3713 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3706 3714
3707 3715 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3708 3716 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3709 3717 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3710 3718 structure as win_exec_ext.
3711 3719
3712 3720 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3713 3721 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3714 3722
3715 3723 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3716 3724 delete aliases.
3717 3725
3718 3726 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3719 3727 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3720 3728
3721 3729 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3722 3730
3723 3731 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3724 3732 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3725 3733
3726 3734 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3727 3735
3728 3736 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3729 3737 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3730 3738
3731 3739 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3732 3740 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3733 3741
3734 3742 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3735 3743 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3736 3744 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3737 3745 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3738 3746 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3739 3747 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3740 3748
3741 3749 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3742 3750 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3743 3751 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3744 3752
3745 3753 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3746 3754 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3747 3755 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3748 3756
3749 3757 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3750 3758 via an extra $. For example:
3751 3759
3752 3760 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3753 3761
3754 3762 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3755 3763 a python variable
3756 3764
3757 3765 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3758 3766 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3759 3767
3760 3768 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3761 3769 things prematurely.
3762 3770
3763 3771 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3764 3772 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3765 3773
3766 3774 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3767 3775 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3768 3776 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3769 3777 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3770 3778 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3771 3779 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3772 3780 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3773 3781 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3774 3782
3775 3783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3776 3784 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3777 3785 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3778 3786 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3779 3787 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3780 3788 with the old system).
3781 3789
3782 3790 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3783 3791
3784 3792 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3785 3793 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3786 3794
3787 3795 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3788 3796 call to eval.
3789 3797 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3790 3798 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3791 3799 in.
3792 3800
3793 3801 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3794 3802
3795 3803 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3796 3804 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3797 3805 confusion).
3798 3806
3799 3807 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3800 3808 check for Windows users.
3801 3809
3802 3810 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3803 3811 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3804 3812 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3805 3813 download it.
3806 3814
3807 3815 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3808 3816
3809 3817 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3810 3818 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3811 3819 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3812 3820 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3813 3821 of IDLE's out).
3814 3822
3815 3823 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3816 3824 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3817 3825 eventually.
3818 3826 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3819 3827
3820 3828 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3821 3829
3822 3830 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3823 3831 list of auto-defined aliases.
3824 3832
3825 3833 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3826 3834
3827 3835 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3828 3836 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3829 3837 things under Windows).
3830 3838
3831 3839 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3832 3840
3833 3841 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3834 3842 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3835 3843 reported by Thorsten.
3836 3844
3837 3845 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3838 3846
3839 3847 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3840 3848 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3841 3849 for all examples and the manual as well.
3842 3850
3843 3851 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3844 3852
3845 3853 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3846 3854 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3847 3855 inherit from BasePrompt.
3848 3856
3849 3857 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3850 3858 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3851 3859
3852 3860 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3853 3861 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3854 3862 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3855 3863 defaults.
3856 3864 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3857 3865 this fix manually!
3858 3866
3859 3867 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3860 3868 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3861 3869 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3862 3870 distutils).
3863 3871
3864 3872 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3865 3873 usage of new '\D' escape.
3866 3874
3867 3875 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3868 3876 lacks os.getuid())
3869 3877 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3870 3878 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3871 3879 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3872 3880 handling mechanism.
3873 3881 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3874 3882 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3875 3883 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3876 3884 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3877 3885 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3878 3886 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3879 3887 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3880 3888
3881 3889 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3882 3890
3883 3891 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3884 3892 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3885 3893 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3886 3894
3887 3895 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3888 3896 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3889 3897 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3890 3898 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3891 3899 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3892 3900 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3893 3901 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3894 3902 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3895 3903
3896 3904 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3897 3905 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3898 3906 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3899 3907 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3900 3908 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3901 3909 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3902 3910 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3903 3911 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3904 3912
3905 3913 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3906 3914 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3907 3915 functions uniform.
3908 3916 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3909 3917
3910 3918 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3911 3919 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3912 3920 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3913 3921 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3914 3922 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3915 3923 use to parse their options.
3916 3924
3917 3925 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3918 3926 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3919 3927 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3920 3928
3921 3929 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3922 3930 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3923 3931 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3924 3932 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3925 3933 via the prompt_specials.
3926 3934
3927 3935 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3928 3936
3929 3937 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3930 3938 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3931 3939 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3932 3940 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3933 3941 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3934 3942 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3935 3943 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3936 3944 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3937 3945
3938 3946 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3939 3947
3940 3948 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3941 3949 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3942 3950 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3943 3951
3944 3952 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3945 3953
3946 3954 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3947 3955 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3948 3956
3949 3957 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3950 3958
3951 3959 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3952 3960 parens would get passed to the shell.
3953 3961
3954 3962 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3955 3963
3956 3964 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3957 3965 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3958 3966
3959 3967 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3960 3968 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3961 3969 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3962 3970 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3963 3971 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3964 3972
3965 3973 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3966 3974 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3967 3975 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3968 3976 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3969 3977
3970 3978 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3971 3979
3972 3980 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3973 3981
3974 3982 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3975 3983 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3976 3984 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3977 3985
3978 3986 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3979 3987 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3980 3988 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3981 3989 official documentation.

3983 3991 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3984 3992
3985 3993 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3986 3994 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3987 3995 explicit filename.
3988 3996
3989 3997 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3990 3998
3991 3999 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3992 4000 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3993 4001 case.
3994 4002
3995 4003 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3996 4004 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3997 4005 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3998 4006

4003 4011 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4004 4012 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4005 4013 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4006 4014 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4007 4015 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4008 4016 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4009 4017 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4010 4018 any changes to python proper.
4011 4019
4012 4020 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4013 4021 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4014 4022 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4015 4023 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4016 4024 Schmolck.
4017 4025
4018 4026 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4019 4027
4020 4028 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4021 4029 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4022 4030 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4023 4031 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4024 4032
4025 4033 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4026 4034
4027 4035 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4028 4036 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4029 4037 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4030 4038 name).
4031 4039
4032 4040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4033 4041 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4034 4042 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4035 4043 Francois Pinard.
4036 4044
4037 4045 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4038 4046
4039 4047 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4040 4048 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4041 4049 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4042 4050 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4043 4051 not work.
4044 4052
4045 4053 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4054
4047 4055 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4048 4056 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4049 4057 distinguishes stdout/err.
4050 4058
4051 4059 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4052 4060 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4053 4061 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4054 4062 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4055 4063 the standard library.
4056 4064
4057 4065 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4058 4066 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4059 4067
4060 4068 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4061 4069 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4062 4070
4063 4071 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4064 4072
4065 4073 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4066 4074 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4067 4075 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4068 4076 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4069 4077 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4070 4078 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4071 4079
4072 4080 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4073 4081
4074 4082 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4075 4083 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4076 4084 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4077 4085 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4078 4086
4079 4087 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4080 4088
4081 4089 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4082 4090 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4083 4091 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4084 4092 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4085 4093
4086 4094 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4087 4095
4088 4096 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4089 4097 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4090 4098 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4091 4099 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4092 4100 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4093 4101 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4094 4102 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4095 4103 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4096 4104
4097 4105 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4106
4099 4107 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4100 4108 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4101 4109
4102 4110 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4103 4111
4104 4112 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4105 4113 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4106 4114 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4107 4115 very short.
4108 4116
4109 4117 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4110 4118
4111 4119 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4112 4120 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4113 4121 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4114 4122 this before making it permanent.
4115 4123
4116 4124 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4117 4125 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4118 4126 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4119 4127 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4120 4128
4121 4129 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4130
4123 4131 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4124 4132 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4125 4133
4126 4134 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4127 4135
4128 4136 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4129 4137 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4130 4138 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4131 4139 cases I've missed.
4132 4140
4133 4141 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4134 4142
4135 4143 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4136 4144 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4137 4145 system would be triggered for @p.
4138 4146
4139 4147 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4140 4148 cleanups, code unmodified.
4141 4149
4142 4150 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4143 4151 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4144 4152 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4145 4153 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4146 4154 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4147 4155 The actual changes affect many files.
4148 4156
4149 4157 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4150 4158
4151 4159 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4152 4160 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4153 4161 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4154 4162
4155 4163 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4156 4164
4157 4165 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4158 4166 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4159 4167
4160 4168 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4161 4169
4162 4170 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4163 4171 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4164 4172 numpy list.
4165 4173
4166 4174 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4167 4175
4168 4176 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4169 4177 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4170 4178 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4171 4179 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4172 4180
4173 4181 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4174 4182
4175 4183 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4176 4184 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4177 4185 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4178 4186 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4179 4187
4180 4188 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4181 4189 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4182 4190
4183 4191 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4184 4192
4185 4193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4186 4194 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4187 4195 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4188 4196 Collins.
4189 4197
4190 4198 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4191 4199
4192 4200 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4193 4201
4194 4202 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4195 4203 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4196 4204 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4197 4205
4198 4206 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4199 4207
4200 4208 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4201 4209 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4202 4210 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4203 4211 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4204 4212
4205 4213 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4206 4214 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4207 4215 __getitem__ and __call__.
4208 4216
4209 4217 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4210 4218
4211 4219 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4212 4220
4213 4221 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4214 4222 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4215 4223 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4216 4224 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4217 4225
4218 4226 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4219 4227 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4220 4228 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4221 4229 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4222 4230 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4223 4231 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4224 4232 necessary.
4225 4233
4226 4234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4227 4235 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4228 4236 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4229 4237
4230 4238 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4231 4239 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4232 4240 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4233 4241 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4234 4242
4235 4243 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4236 4244 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4237 4245 generators.
4238 4246
4239 4247 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4240 4248 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4241 4249 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4242 4250 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4243 4251 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4244 4252 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4245 4253 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4246 4254
4247 4255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4248 4256 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4249 4257 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4250 4258 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4251 4259 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4252 4260
4253 4261 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4254 4262 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4255 4263 edit under some circumstances.
4256 4264 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4257 4265 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4258 4266 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4259 4267 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4260 4268 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4261 4269 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4262 4270 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4263 4271 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4264 4272 need more testing.
4265 4273
4266 4274 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4267 4275
4268 4276 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4269 4277 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4270 4278 and simpler code.
4271 4279
4272 4280 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4273 4281
4274 4282 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4275 4283 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4276 4284 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4277 4285 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4278 4286 even if they were contiguous.
4279 4287 (l1norm): Added this function.
4280 4288 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4281 4289 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4282 4290 and speed.
4283 4291
4284 4292 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4285 4293
4286 4294 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4287 4295 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4288 4296 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4289 4297
4290 4298 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4299
4292 4300 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4293 4301 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4294 4302 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4295 4303
4296 4304 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4297 4305 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4298 4306 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4299 4307
4300 4308 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4301 4309
4302 4310 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4303 4311 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4304 4312 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4305 4313 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4306 4314 activity.
4307 4315
4308 4316 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4317
4310 4318 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4311 4319 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4312 4320 Numeric.identity)
4313 4321
4314 4322 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4315 4323
4316 4324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4317 4325 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4318 4326 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4319 4327
4320 4328 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4321 4329
4322 4330 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4323 4331 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4324 4332 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4325 4333 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4326 4334
4327 4335 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4328 4336 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4329 4337 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4330 4338 is implemented).
4331 4339
4332 4340 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4333 4341
4334 4342 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4335 4343 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4336 4344 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4337 4345
4338 4346 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4339 4347 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4340 4348 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4341 4349 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4342 4350 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4343 4351
4344 4352 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4345 4353
4346 4354 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4355
4348 4356 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4349 4357 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4350 4358 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4351 4359
4352 4360 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4353 4361
4354 4362 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4355 4363 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4356 4364 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4357 4365
4358 4366 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4359 4367 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4360 4368 crash report from Prabhu.
4361 4369
4362 4370 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4363 4371
4364 4372 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4365 4373 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4366 4374 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4367 4375 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4368 4376 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4369 4377 also be useful in other cases.
4370 4378
4371 4379 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4372 4380 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4373 4381 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4374 4382
4375 4383 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4376 4384
4377 4385 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4378 4386
4379 4387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4380 4388 installing for a new user under Windows.
4381 4389
4382 4390 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4391
4384 4392 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4385 4393 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4386 4394 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4387 4395 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4388 4396 there.
4389 4397
4390 4398 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4391 4399 info to crash reports.
4392 4400
4393 4401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4394 4402 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4395 4403 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4396 4404 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4397 4405
4398 4406 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4399 4407
4400 4408 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4401 4409 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4402 4410 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4403 4411 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4404 4412
4405 4413 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4406 4414
4407 4415 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4408 4416 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4409 4417
4410 4418 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4411 4419
4412 4420 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4413 4421 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4414 4422
4415 4423 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4416 4424
4417 4425 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4418 4426
4419 4427 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4420 4428 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4421 4429 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4422 4430
4423 4431 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4424 4432 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4425 4433 with the new auto-indent option.
4426 4434
4427 4435 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4428 4436
4429 4437 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4430 4438 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4431 4439 this class from the main Shell class.
4432 4440
4433 4441 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4434 4442 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4435 4443 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4436 4444 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4437 4445 option).
4438 4446
4439 4447 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4440 4448 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4441 4449 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4442 4450 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4443 4451 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4444 4452
4445 4453 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4446 4454 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4447 4455 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4448 4456
4449 4457 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4450 4458 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4451 4459 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4452 4460 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4453 4461 tracebacks.
4454 4462
4455 4463 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4456 4464 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4457 4465 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4458 4466
4459 4467 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4460 4468
4461 4469 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4462 4470 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4463 4471 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4464 4472 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4465 4473
4466 4474 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4467 4475
4468 4476 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4469 4477 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4470 4478 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4471 4479 for the bug report.
4472 4480
4473 4481 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4474 4482
4475 4483 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4476 4484 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4477 4485 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4478 4486 report.
4479 4487
4480 4488 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4481 4489
4482 4490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4483 4491 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4484 4492 end).
4485 4493
4486 4494 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4487 4495 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4488 4496 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4489 4497
4490 4498 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4491 4499
4492 4500 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4493 4501 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4494 4502 for the patch.
4495 4503
4496 4504 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4497 4505
4498 4506 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4499 4507 functions.
4500 4508
4501 4509 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4502 4510
4503 4511 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4504 4512
4505 4513 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4506 4514 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4507 4515 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4508 4516 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4509 4517 private fix.
4510 4518
4511 4519 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4512 4520 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4513 4521 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4514 4522 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4515 4523 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4516 4524 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4517 4525 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4518 4526 fixed for this setup.
4519 4527
4520 4528 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4521 4529 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4522 4530
4523 4531 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4524 4532
4525 4533 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4526 4534
4527 4535 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4528 4536 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4529 4537 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4530 4538 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4531 4539 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4532 4540 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4533 4541 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4534 4542 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4535 4543 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4536 4544
4537 4545 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4538 4546 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4539 4547 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4540 4548
4541 4549 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4542 4550
4543 4551 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4544 4552
4545 4553 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4546 4554 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4547 4555 pickle-related issue in @run).
4548 4556
4549 4557 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4550 4558
4551 4559 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4552 4560 the autocall option at runtime.
4553 4561 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4554 4562 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4555 4563 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4556 4564 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4557 4565 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4558 4566 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4559 4567 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4560 4568 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4561 4569 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4562 4570 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4563 4571 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4564 4572 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4565 4573 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4566 4574 pickles to save something sensible.
4567 4575
4568 4576 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4569 4577
4570 4578 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4571 4579 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4572 4580 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4573 4581
4574 4582 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4575 4583
4576 4584 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4577 4585 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4578 4586
4579 4587 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4580 4588
4581 4589 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4582 4590 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4583 4591 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4584 4592 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4585 4593
4586 4594 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4587 4595
4588 4596 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4589 4597 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4590 4598 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4591 4599 array is non-contiguous.
4592 4600
4593 4601 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4594 4602
4595 4603 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4596 4604 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4597 4605 executed).
4598 4606 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4599 4607 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4600 4608 output.
4601 4609 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4602 4610 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4603 4611 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4604 4612 changing.
4605 4613
4606 4614 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4607 4615
4608 4616 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4609 4617
4610 4618 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4611 4619 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4612 4620 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4613 4621 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4614 4622 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4615 4623 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4616 4624 like a normal command-line.
4617 4625
4618 4626 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4619 4627 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4620 4628 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4621 4629 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4622 4630
4623 4631 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4624 4632
4625 4633 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4626 4634 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4627 4635 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4628 4636 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4629 4637
4630 4638 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4631 4639
4632 4640 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4633 4641 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4634 4642 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4635 4643 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4636 4644 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4637 4645 think it's worth doing.
4638 4646

4641 4649 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4642 4650
4643 4651 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4644 4652 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4645 4653
4646 4654 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4647 4655 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4648 4656 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4649 4657 also work ok.
4650 4658
4651 4659 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49

4653 4661 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4654 4662
4655 4663 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4656 4664
4657 4665 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4658 4666 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4659 4667 of gnuplot data files.
4660 4668
4661 4669 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4670
4663 4671 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4664 4672 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4665 4673
4666 4674 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4667 4675
4668 4676 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4669 4677 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4670 4678 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4671 4679 for pointing this out.
4672 4680
4673 4681 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4674 4682
4675 4683 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4676 4684
4677 4685 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4678 4686 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4679 4687 Interactive.
4680 4688
4681 4689 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4682 4690 being imported from iplib.
4683 4691
4684 4692 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4685 4693 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4686 4694 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4687 4695 common name.
4688 4696
4689 4697 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4690 4698 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4691 4699
4692 4700 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4693 4701 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4694 4702
4695 4703 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4696 4704 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4697 4705 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4698 4706 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4699 4707 docstrings).
4700 4708
4701 4709 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4702 4710
4703 4711 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4704 4712 (inconsistent with options).
4705 4713
4706 4714 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4707 4715 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4708 4716 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4709 4717 eps output.

4713 4721 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4714 4722 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4715 4723 Pinard.
4716 4724
4717 4725 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4718 4726
4719 4727 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4720 4728 history file for new users.
4721 4729 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4722 4730 user running in the .ipython dir.
4723 4731 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4724 4732 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4725 4733 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4726 4734
4727 4735 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4728 4736 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4729 4737 consistently.
4730 4738
4731 4739 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4732 4740 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4733 4741 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4734 4742 libraries I don't have access to.
4735 4743
4736 4744 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4737 4745 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4738 4746 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4739 4747 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4740 4748 report.
4741 4749
4742 4750 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4751
4744 4752 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4745 4753 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4746 4754 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4747 4755 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4748 4756
4749 4757 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4750 4758
4751 4759 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4752 4760 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4753 4761 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4754 4762 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4755 4763 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4756 4764 instance has been created.
4757 4765
4758 4766 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4759 4767 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4760 4768 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4761 4769 dict by hand.
4762 4770
4763 4771 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4764 4772
4765 4773 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4766 4774 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4767 4775 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4768 4776 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4769 4777 broken.
4770 4778
4771 4779 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4772 4780 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4773 4781 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4774 4782 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4775 4783
4776 4784 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4777 4785 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4778 4786 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4779 4787 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4780 4788 is a valid one.
4781 4789
4782 4790 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4783 4791 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4784 4792 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4785 4793
4786 4794 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4787 4795 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4788 4796 simply leftover junk.
4789 4797
4790 4798 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4791 4799
4792 4800 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4793 4801 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4794 4802 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4795 4803
4796 4804 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4797 4805 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4798 4806 exceptions.
4799 4807
4800 4808 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4801 4809
4802 4810 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4803 4811 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4804 4812 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4805 4813 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4806 4814 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4807 4815
4808 4816 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4809 4817 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4810 4818
4811 4819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4812 4820 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4813 4821 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4814 4822 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4815 4823 problem mentioned below.
4816 4824
4817 4825 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4818 4826
4819 4827 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4820 4828 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4821 4829
4822 4830 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4823 4831 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4824 4832 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4825 4833 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4826 4834 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4827 4835
4828 4836 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4829 4837 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4830 4838 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4831 4839 actual function names.
4832 4840
4833 4841 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4834 4842 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4835 4843 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4836 4844 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4837 4845 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4838 4846 really be only function/method names.
4839 4847
4840 4848 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4841 4849
4842 4850 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4843 4851 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4844 4852 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4845 4853
4846 4854 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4847 4855
4848 4856 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4849 4857 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4850 4858 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4851 4859
4852 4860 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4853 4861 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4854 4862
4855 4863 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4856 4864 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4857 4865 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4858 4866
4859 4867 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4860 4868 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4861 4869 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4862 4870
4863 4871 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4864 4872 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4865 4873 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4866 4874
4867 4875 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4868 4876
4869 4877 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4870 4878 Gnuplot.File objects.
4871 4879
4872 4880 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4873 4881
4874 4882 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4875 4883 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4876 4884 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4877 4885
4878 4886 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4879 4887
4880 4888 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4881 4889 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4882 4890
4883 4891 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4884 4892 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4885 4893
4886 4894 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4887 4895 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4888 4896
4889 4897 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4890 4898
4891 4899 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4892 4900 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4893 4901 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4894 4902 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4895 4903
4896 4904 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4897 4905
4898 4906 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4899 4907 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4900 4908 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4901 4909
4902 4910 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4903 4911
4904 4912 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4905 4913 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4906 4914 workaround).
4907 4915
4908 4916 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4909 4917
4910 4918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4911 4919 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4912 4920
4913 4921 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4914 4922
4915 4923 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4916 4924 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4917 4925
4918 4926 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4919 4927 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4920 4928 .strip() is called on it.
4921 4929
4922 4930
4923 4931 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4924 4932
4925 4933 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4926 4934 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4927 4935 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4928 4936
4929 4937 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4930 4938 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4931 4939
4932 4940 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4933 4941 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4934 4942 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4935 4943
4936 4944 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4937 4945
4938 4946 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4939 4947 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4940 4948 __main__.
4941 4949
4942 4950 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4943 4951 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4944 4952
4945 4953 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4946 4954 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4947 4955 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4948 4956 Mathematica behaves.
4949 4957
4950 4958 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4951 4959
4952 4960 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4953 4961 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4954 4962
4955 4963 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4956 4964 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4957 4965 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4958 4966
4959 4967 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4960 4968 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4961 4969
4962 4970 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4963 4971
4964 4972 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4965 4973 underflow problems in Numeric.
4966 4974 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4967 4975 for exact integer powers of 2.
4968 4976
4969 4977 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4970 4978 properly.
4971 4979
4972 4980 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4973 4981
4974 4982 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4975 4983 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4976 4984
4977 4985 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4978 4986
4979 4987 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4980 4988 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4981 4989
4982 4990 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4983 4991
4984 4992 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4985 4993 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4986 4994 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4987 4995 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4988 4996 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4989 4997 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4990 4998 times).
4991 4999
4992 5000 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4993 5001 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4994 5002 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4995 5003
4996 5004 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4997 5005
4998 5006 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4999 5007 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5000 5008 embedded code.
5001 5009
5002 5010 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5003 5011 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5004 5012 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5005 5013
5006 5014 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5007 5015 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5008 5016 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5009 5017 less special-casing to remember.
5010 5018
5011 5019 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5012 5020
5013 5021 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5014 5022 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5015 5023 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5016 5024 arg is not a defined object.
5017 5025 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5018 5026 a Mike Heeter idea.
5019 5027
5020 5028 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5021 5029 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5022 5030 interactive use.
5023 5031
5024 5032 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5025 5033 filenames.
5026 5034
5027 5035 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5028 5036
5029 5037 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5030 5038 initialization via another struct.
5031 5039
5032 5040 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5033 5041 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5034 5042
5035 5043 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5036 5044
5037 5045 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5038 5046 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5039 5047 too big).
5040 5048
5041 5049 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5042 5050
5043 5051 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5044 5052 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5045 5053 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5046 5054 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5047 5055
5048 5056 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5049 5057
5050 5058 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5051 5059 macros having broken.
5052 5060
5053 5061 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5054 5062
5055 5063 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5056 5064 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5057 5065 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5058 5066 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5059 5067 not to lists.
5060 5068
5061 5069 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5062 5070
5063 5071 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5064 5072 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5065 5073 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5066 5074
5067 5075 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5068 5076 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5069 5077
5070 5078 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5071 5079 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5072 5080 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5073 5081
5074 5082 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5075 5083 triple-quoted strings.
5076 5084
5077 5085 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5078 5086 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5079 5087 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5080 5088 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5081 5089 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5082 5090 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5083 5091
5084 5092 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5085 5093
5086 5094 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5087 5095 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5088 5096 ultraTB).
5089 5097
5090 5098 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5091 5099
5092 5100 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5093 5101 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5094 5102 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5095 5103 user's 'g' variables).
5096 5104
5097 5105 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5098 5106 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5099 5107 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5100 5108 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5101 5109 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5102 5110 macros.
5103 5111
5104 5112 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5105 5113
5106 5114 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5107 5115 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5108 5116
5109 5117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5110 5118 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5111 5119 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5112 5120
5113 5121 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5114 5122
5115 5123 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5116 5124 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5117 5125 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5118 5126 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5119 5127 aliases.
5120 5128
5121 5129 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5130
5123 5131 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5124 5132 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5125 5133 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5126 5134 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5127 5135
5128 5136 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5129 5137
5130 5138 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5131 5139 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5132 5140 user-defined functions overrode them.
5133 5141
5134 5142 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5135 5143
5136 5144 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5137 5145 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5138 5146
5139 5147 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5140 5148
5141 5149 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5142 5150 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5143 5151 IPython.
5144 5152
5145 5153 * Released 0.2.13
5146 5154
5147 5155 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5148 5156 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5149 5157 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5150 5158 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5151 5159
5152 5160 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5153 5161
5154 5162 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5155 5163 magic properly formatted for screen.
5156 5164
5157 5165 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5158 5166 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5159 5167
5160 5168 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5161 5169 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5162 5170 etc.)
5163 5171
5164 5172 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5165 5173
5166 5174 * Released 0.2.12
5167 5175
5168 5176 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5169 5177
5170 5178 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5171 5179 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5172 5180 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5173 5181 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5174 5182 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5175 5183 an alias to @run -i.
5176 5184
5177 5185 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5178 5186 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5179 5187
5180 5188 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5181 5189
5182 5190 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5183 5191 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5184 5192 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5185 5193
5186 5194 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5187 5195 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5188 5196 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5189 5197 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5190 5198 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5191 5199 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5192 5200 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5193 5201
5194 5202 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5195 5203
5196 5204 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5197 5205 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5198 5206 printed).
5199 5207
5200 5208 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5201 5209 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5202 5210 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5203 5211
5204 5212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5205 5213 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5206 5214
5207 5215 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5208 5216 handle magic commands in them.
5209 5217 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5210 5218 ~/mylog' now works.
5211 5219
5212 5220 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5213 5221 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5214 5222
5215 5223 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5216 5224
5217 5225 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5218 5226 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5219 5227
5220 5228 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5221 5229 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5222 5230 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5223 5231 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5224 5232 variables are in the context of an exception.
5225 5233 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5226 5234 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5227 5235
5228 5236 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5229 5237 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5230 5238
5231 5239 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5232 5240
5233 5241 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5234 5242 magics can parse options easier.
5235 5243 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5236 5244 suggested by Chris Hart.
5237 5245 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5238 5246 directory actually is in history.
5239 5247
5240 5248 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5241 5249 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5242 5250 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5243 5251
5244 5252 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5245 5253 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5246 5254 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5247 5255 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5248 5256
5249 5257 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5250 5258
5251 5259 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5252 5260 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5253 5261
5254 5262 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5255 5263 text (was a bug).
5256 5264
5257 5265 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5258 5266
5259 5267 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5260 5268 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5261 5269 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5262 5270
5263 5271 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5264 5272
5265 5273 * Released 0.2.10
5266 5274
5267 5275 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5268 5276
5269 5277 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5270 5278 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5271 5279
5272 5280 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5273 5281
5274 5282 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5275 5283 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5276 5284
5277 5285 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5278 5286
5279 5287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5280 5288 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5281 5289 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5282 5290 __init__.py)
5283 5291
5284 5292 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5285 5293
5286 5294 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5287 5295 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5288 5296 test for being inside IPython.
5289 5297
5290 5298 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5291 5299 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5292 5300 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5293 5301 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5294 5302
5295 5303 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5296 5304
5297 5305 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5298 5306 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5299 5307 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5300 5308
5301 5309 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5302 5310 embedding example to standard user directory for
5303 5311 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5304 5312
5305 5313 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5306 5314 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5307 5315 hidden global).
5308 5316
5309 5317 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5310 5318 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5311 5319 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5312 5320 case.
5313 5321
5314 5322 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5315 5323
5316 5324 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5317 5325 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5318 5326 start.
5319 5327
5320 5328 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5321 5329 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5322 5330 Numeric or math.
5323 5331
5324 5332 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5325 5333 provided profiles. Now we have:
5326 5334 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5327 5335 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5328 5336 -physics -> same as before
5329 5337
5330 5338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5331 5339 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5332 5340 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5333 5341 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5334 5342 string adds).
5335 5343
5336 5344 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5337 5345 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5338 5346 line with the gnuplot code).
5339 5347
5340 5348 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5341 5349
5342 5350 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5343 5351 all included files change.
5344 5352
5345 5353 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5346 5354 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5347 5355
5348 5356 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5349 5357 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5350 5358 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5351 5359
5352 5360 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5353 5361 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5354 5362
5355 5363 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5356 5364 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5357 5365
5358 5366 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5359 5367 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5360 5368 now accessible.
5361 5369
5362 5370 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5363 5371 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5364 5372 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5365 5373 removed.
5366 5374 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5367 5375 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5368 5376 don't crash.
5369 5377 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5370 5378 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5371 5379 remains available.
5372 5380
5373 5381 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5374 5382
5375 5383 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5376 5384
5377 5385 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5378 5386
5379 5387 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5380 5388 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5381 5389 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5382 5390 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5383 5391
5384 5392 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5385 5393
5386 5394 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5387 5395 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5388 5396 sync with the output counter.
5389 5397
5390 5398 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5391 5399 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5392 5400
5393 5401 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5394 5402
5395 5403 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5396 5404 readline, fix it back after each call.
5397 5405
5398 5406 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5399 5407 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5400 5408 traceback references are properly deleted.
5401 5409
5402 5410 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5403 5411 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5404 5412
5405 5413 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5406 5414
5407 5415 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5408 5416 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5409 5417 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5410 5418 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5411 5419 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5412 5420 to catch SystemExit).
5413 5421
5414 5422 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5415 5423 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5416 5424 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5417 5425 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5418 5426 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5419 5427 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5420 5428
5421 5429 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5422 5430
5423 5431 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5424 5432 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5425 5433 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5426 5434
5427 5435 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5428 5436 configurable (it should have always been so).
5429 5437
5430 5438 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5431 5439
5432 5440 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5433 5441 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5434 5442 done in a more elegant way.
5435 5443
5436 5444 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5437 5445
5438 5446 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5439 5447 win9x also.
5440 5448
5441 5449 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5442 5450
5443 5451 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5444 5452 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5445 5453
5446 5454 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5447 5455
5448 5456 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5449 5457
5450 5458 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5451 5459 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5452 5460
5453 5461 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5454 5462 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5455 5463
5456 5464 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5457 5465 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5458 5466
5459 5467 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5460 5468 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5461 5469
5462 5470 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5463 5471
5464 5472 * Released 0.2.8
5465 5473
5466 5474 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5467 5475 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5468 5476 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5469 5477 on' so that the first tab completes.
5470 5478 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5471 5479 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5472 5480
5473 5481 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5474 5482 installation.
5475 5483
5476 5484 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5477 5485 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5478 5486
5479 5487 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5480 5488
5481 5489 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5482 5490 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5483 5491 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5484 5492
5485 5493 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5486 5494 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5487 5495
5488 5496 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5489 5497 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5490 5498 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5491 5499 suggestion.
5492 5500
5493 5501 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5494 5502 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5495 5503 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5496 5504
5497 5505 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5498 5506 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5499 5507
5500 5508 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5501 5509
5502 5510 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5503 5511 which properly handles things for windows users.
5504 5512
5505 5513 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5506 5514
5507 5515 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5508 5516 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5509 5517 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5510 5518 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5511 5519 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5512 5520
5513 5521 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5514 5522
5515 5523 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5516 5524
5517 5525 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5518 5526 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5519 5527
5520 5528 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5521 5529
5522 5530 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5523 5531 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5524 5532 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5525 5533 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5526 5534 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5527 5535 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5528 5536
5529 5537 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5530 5538
5531 5539 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5532 5540 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5533 5541
5534 5542 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5535 5543 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5536 5544 cache at 20 values.
5537 5545
5538 5546 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5539 5547 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5540 5548 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5541 5549 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5542 5550
5543 5551 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5544 5552 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5545 5553 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5546 5554 'file show').
5547 5555
5548 5556 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5549 5557 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5550 5558
5551 5559 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5552 5560 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5553 5561 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5554 5562
5555 5563 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5556 5564 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5557 5565 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5558 5566 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5559 5567
5560 5568 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5561 5569 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5562 5570 the prompt strings.
5563 5571
5564 5572 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5565 5573
5566 5574 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5567 5575 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5568 5576
5569 5577 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5570 5578 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5571 5579 either globally or at each call.
5572 5580
5573 5581 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5574 5582 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5575 5583 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5576 5584 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5577 5585
5578 5586 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5579 5587
5580 5588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5581 5589 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5582 5590
5583 5591 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5584 5592
5585 5593 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5586 5594 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5587 5595 learning some lisp...
5588 5596
5589 5597 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5590 5598
5591 5599 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5592 5600 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5593 5601 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5594 5602 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5595 5603
5596 5604 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5597 5605 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5598 5606 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5599 5607
5600 5608 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5601 5609
5602 5610 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5603 5611 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5604 5612 control to emacs users.
5605 5613
5606 5614 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5607 5615 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5608 5616 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5609 5617 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5610 5618 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5611 5619 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5612 5620
5613 5621 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5614 5622
5615 5623 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5616 5624
5617 5625 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5618 5626 @logstate magic was created.
5619 5627
5620 5628 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5621 5629 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5622 5630
5623 5631 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5624 5632
5625 5633 * Released 0.2.6.
5626 5634
5627 5635 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5628 5636 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5629 5637
5630 5638 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5631 5639 SciPy.
5632 5640
5633 5641 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5634 5642 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5635 5643 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5636 5644 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5637 5645 the section on embedding and the example file.
5638 5646
5639 5647 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5640 5648 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5641 5649 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5642 5650
5643 5651 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5644 5652 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5645 5653 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5646 5654
5647 5655 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5648 5656 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5649 5657 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5650 5658 for this to work.
5651 5659
5652 5660 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5653 5661
5654 5662 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5655 5663 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5656 5664 well inside Emacs buffers.
5657 5665 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5658 5666 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5659 5667 same bug in iplib.
5660 5668
5661 5669 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5662 5670
5663 5671 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5664 5672 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5665 5673
5666 5674 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5667 5675 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5668 5676 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5669 5677
5670 5678 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5671 5679 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5672 5680 display is done.
5673 5681
5674 5682 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5675 5683 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5676 5684
5677 5685 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5678 5686 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5679 5687 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5680 5688 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5681 5689 like in Octave.
5682 5690
5683 5691 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5684 5692 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5685 5693
5686 5694 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5687 5695
5688 5696 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5689 5697 whole file a little.
5690 5698
5691 5699 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5692 5700 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5693 5701 end-user distro.
5694 5702
5695 5703 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5696 5704 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5697 5705 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5698 5706
5699 5707 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5700 5708 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5701 5709
5702 5710 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5703 5711 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5704 5712 for @file.
5705 5713
5706 5714 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5707 5715 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5708 5716 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5709 5717 the code a bit easier.
5710 5718
5711 5719 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5712 5720 information to crash reports.
5713 5721
5714 5722 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5715 5723
5716 5724 * Released 0.2.5.
5717 5725
5718 5726 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5719 5727
5720 5728 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5721 5729 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5722 5730 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5723 5731
5724 5732 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5725 5733
5726 5734 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5727 5735 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5728 5736 have thigs work as expected.
5729 5737
5730 5738 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5731 5739 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5732 5740 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5733 5741 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5734 5742 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5735 5743
5736 5744 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5737 5745 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5738 5746
5739 5747 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5740 5748
5741 5749 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5742 5750 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5743 5751
5744 5752 * README and manual updates.
5745 5753
5746 5754 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5747 5755 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5748 5756
5749 5757 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5750 5758 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5751 5759
5752 5760 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5753 5761 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5754 5762 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5755 5763 extension-less files.
5756 5764
5757 5765 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5758 5766 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5759 5767 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5760 5768
5761 5769 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5762 5770 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5763 5771
5764 5772 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5765 5773 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5766 5774 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5767 5775 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5768 5776 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5769 5777 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5770 5778 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5771 5779 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5772 5780 least make manually a shortcut.
5773 5781
5774 5782 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5775 5783 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5776 5784 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5777 5785 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5778 5786 runtime, with @colors.
5779 5787 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5780 5788 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5781 5789
5782 5790 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5783 5791
5784 5792 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5785 5793 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5786 5794 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5787 5795 read the startup info.
5788 5796
5789 5797 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5790 5798
5791 5799 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5792 5800 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5793 5801 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5794 5802 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5795 5803 type the better off we are.
5796 5804 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5797 5805 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5798 5806 before.
5799 5807
5800 5808 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5801 5809
5802 5810 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5803 5811 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5804 5812 this later.
5805 5813
5806 5814 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5807 5815
5808 5816 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5809 5817 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5810 5818 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5811 5819
5812 5820 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5813 5821
5814 5822 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5815 5823 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5816 5824 spitting out only offset information as before.
5817 5825 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5818 5826 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5819 5827
5820 5828 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5821 5829
5822 5830 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5823 5831 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5824 5832 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5825 5833 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5826 5834 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5827 5835 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5828 5836 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5829 5837 macros.
5830 5838
5831 5839 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5832 5840
5833 5841 * Released 0.2.4.
5834 5842
5835 5843 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5836 5844 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5837 5845 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5838 5846 re-execution.
5839 5847
5840 5848 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5841 5849
5842 5850 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5843 5851 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5844 5852 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5845 5853 documented, of course :)
5846 5854 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5847 5855 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5848 5856 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5849 5857
5850 5858 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5851 5859
5852 5860 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5853 5861 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5854 5862 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5855 5863
5856 5864 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5857 5865
5858 5866 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5859 5867 so I wanted an updated release).
5860 5868
5861 5869 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5862 5870
5863 5871 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5864 5872 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5865 5873 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5866 5874 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5867 5875 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5868 5876
5869 5877 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5870 5878
5871 5879 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5872 5880 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5873 5881
5874 5882 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5875 5883
5876 5884 * Released 0.2.2.
5877 5885
5878 5886 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5879 5887 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5880 5888 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5881 5889 versions.
5882 5890
5883 5891 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5884 5892 (MayaVi author).
5885 5893
5886 5894 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5887 5895
5888 5896 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5889 5897 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5890 5898 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5891 5899 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5892 5900 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5893 5901
5894 5902 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5895 5903 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5896 5904
5897 5905 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5898 5906
5899 5907 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5900 5908 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5901 5909 nice, full-blown manual.
5902 5910
5903 5911 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5904 5912 trivially simple for end-users.
5905 5913
5906 5914 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5907 5915
5908 5916 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5909 5917 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5910 5918
5911 5919 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5912 5920 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5913 5921
5914 5922 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5915 5923
5916 5924 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5917 5925 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5918 5926 people to later upgrade versions.
5919 5927
5920 5928 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5921 5929 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5922 5930 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5923 5931 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5924 5932 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5925 5933 SystemExit).
5926 5934
5927 5935 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5928 5936 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5929 5937 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5930 5938 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5931 5939 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5932 5940
5933 5941 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5934 5942 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5935 5943 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5936 5944
5937 5945 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5938 5946
5939 5947 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5940 5948 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5941 5949
5942 5950 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5943 5951 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5944 5952 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5945 5953 html docs out of it will be found).
5946 5954
5947 5955 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5948 5956
5949 5957 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5950 5958 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5951 5959
5952 5960 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5953 5961
5954 5962 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5955 5963 visiting any directory in _dh.
5956 5964
5957 5965 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5958 5966 it out with numbers.
5959 5967
5960 5968 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5961 5969
5962 5970 * Released 0.1.22
5963 5971
5964 5972 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5965 5973 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5966 5974
5967 5975 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5968 5976 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5969 5977 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5970 5978 screen the necessary mail command.
5971 5979
5972 5980 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5973 5981 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5974 5982 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5975 5983
5976 5984 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5977 5985
5978 5986 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5979 5987 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5980 5988 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5981 5989 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5982 5990 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5983 5991 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5984 5992 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5985 5993 its name).
5986 5994
5987 5995 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5988 5996 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5989 5997 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5990 5998 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5991 5999
5992 6000 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5993 6001
5994 6002 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5995 6003 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5996 6004
5997 6005 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5998 6006 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5999 6007
6000 6008 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6001 6009 completion of @-starting lines.
6002 6010
6003 6011 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6004 6012 info that other files can read from.
6005 6013
6006 6014 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6007 6015 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6008 6016 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6009 6017 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6010 6018 restores produce less errors.
6011 6019
6012 6020 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6013 6021 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6014 6022 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6015 6023 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6016 6024 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6017 6025
6018 6026 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6019 6027 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6020 6028 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6021 6029 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6022 6030 with this, finally...
6023 6031
6024 6032 * Small documentation updates.
6025 6033
6026 6034 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6027 6035 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6028 6036 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6029 6037
6030 6038 * File renaming:
6031 6039 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6032 6040 ipplib --> iplib
6033 6041 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6034 6042
6035 6043 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6036 6044 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6037 6045 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6038 6046
6039 6047 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6040 6048 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6041 6049 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6042 6050
6043 6051 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6044 6052
6045 6053 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6046 6054 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6047 6055 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6048 6056 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6049 6057
6050 6058 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6051 6059 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6052 6060 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6053 6061
6054 6062 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6055 6063 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6056 6064 road.
6057 6065
6058 6066 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6059 6067 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6060 6068 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6061 6069 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6062 6070
6063 6071 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6064 6072
6065 6073 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6066 6074 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6067 6075 file accordingly.
6068 6076
6069 6077 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6070 6078 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6071 6079 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6072 6080 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6073 6081 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6074 6082 separators and proper padding and justification.
6075 6083
6076 6084 * Released 0.1.20
6077 6085
6078 6086 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6079 6087 copy operation was missing).
6080 6088
6081 6089 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6082 6090 its output is always quite long.
6083 6091
6084 6092 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6085 6093 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6086 6094 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6087 6095 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6088 6096
6089 6097 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6090 6098 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6091 6099 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6092 6100 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6093 6101
6094 6102 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6095 6103
6096 6104 * Released 0.1.19
6097 6105
6098 6106 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6099 6107 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6100 6108
6101 6109 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6102 6110 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6103 6111 comment on 'macros').
6104 6112
6105 6113 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6106 6114
6107 6115 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6108 6116 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6109 6117 statements and takes parameters.
6110 6118
6111 6119 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6112 6120
6113 6121 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6114 6122
6115 6123 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6116 6124
6117 6125 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6118 6126 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6119 6127
6120 6128 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6121 6129 ipythonrc-* samples.
6122 6130
6123 6131 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6124 6132 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6125 6133
6126 6134 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6127 6135 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6128 6136
6129 6137 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6130 6138
6131 6139 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6132 6140 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6133 6141 convention.
6134 6142
6135 6143 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6136 6144 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6137 6145
6138 6146 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6139 6147
6140 6148 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6141 6149 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6142 6150
6143 6151 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6144 6152 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6145 6153 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6146 6154 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6147 6155 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6148 6156 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6149 6157 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6150 6158 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6151 6159 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6152 6160 works.
6153 6161
6154 6162 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6155 6163
6156 6164 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6157 6165 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6158 6166 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6159 6167 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6160 6168 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6161 6169 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6162 6170 all the editors, less does that.
6163 6171
6164 6172 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6165 6173
6166 6174 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6167 6175 crash IPython.
6168 6176
6169 6177 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6170 6178
6171 6179 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6172 6180
6173 6181 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6174 6182 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6175 6183 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6176 6184 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6177 6185 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6178 6186 work in _ofind.
6179 6187
6180 6188 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6181 6189 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6182 6190 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6183 6191 (famous last words).
6184 6192
6185 6193 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6186 6194 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6187 6195 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6188 6196 windows).
6189 6197
6190 6198 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6191 6199 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6192 6200
6193 6201 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6194 6202 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6195 6203 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6196 6204 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6197 6205
6198 6206 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6199 6207 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6200 6208 licences and announce it.
6201 6209
6202 6210 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6203 6211 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6204 6212 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6205 6213 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6206 6214
6207 6215 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6208 6216
6209 6217 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6210 6218 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6211 6219 lists.
6212 6220
6213 6221 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6214 6222 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6215 6223 are ok.
6216 6224
6217 6225 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6218 6226 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6219 6227
6220 6228 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6221 6229 this to Nathan.
6222 6230
6223 6231 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6224 6232
6225 6233 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6226 6234 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6227 6235 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6228 6236
6229 6237 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6230 6238 accepted). Cleaner.
6231 6239
6232 6240 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6233 6241 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6234 6242 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6235 6243 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6236 6244 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6237 6245
6238 6246 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6239 6247
6240 6248 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6241 6249 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6242 6250 history after a log replay.
6243 6251
6244 6252 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6245 6253 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6246 6254 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6247 6255 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6248 6256 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6249 6257 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6250 6258
6251 6259 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6252 6260 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6253 6261 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6254 6262 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6255 6263 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6256 6264
6257 6265 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6258 6266
6259 6267 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6260 6268 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6261 6269 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6262 6270 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6263 6271 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6264 6272 one: cache_size.
6265 6273
6266 6274 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6267 6275 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6268 6276 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6269 6277 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6270 6278
6271 6279 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6272 6280 @ or not).
6273 6281
6274 6282 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6275 6283 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6276 6284 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6277 6285 about licensing).
6278 6286
6279 6287 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6280 6288
6281 6289 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6282 6290 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6283 6291
6284 6292 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6285 6293 screen size for page() operations.
6286 6294
6287 6295 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6288 6296 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6289 6297 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6290 6298 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6291 6299
6292 6300 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6293 6301 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6294 6302 option name tables are clearer.
6295 6303
6296 6304 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6297 6305 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6298 6306 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6299 6307 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6300 6308 was also changed a little to align better.
6301 6309
6302 6310 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6303 6311 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6304 6312
6305 6313 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6306 6314 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6307 6315 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6308 6316
6309 6317 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6310 6318 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6311 6319 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6312 6320 he needs it.
6313 6321
6314 6322 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6315 6323
6316 6324 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6317 6325 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6318 6326 warning on it.
6319 6327
6320 6328 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6321 6329 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6322 6330 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6323 6331 was too long).
6324 6332
6325 6333 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6326 6334 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6327 6335 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6328 6336
6329 6337 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6330 6338 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6331 6339 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6332 6340 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6333 6341 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6334 6342 function for the same task.
6335 6343
6336 6344 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6337 6345
6338 6346 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6339 6347
6340 6348 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6341 6349 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6342 6350 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6343 6351
6344 6352 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6345 6353 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6346 6354 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6347 6355
6348 6356 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6349 6357 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6350 6358 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6351 6359
6352 6360 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6353 6361
6354 6362 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6355 6363
6356 6364 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6357 6365 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6358 6366 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6359 6367
6360 6368 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6361 6369
6362 6370 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6363 6371
6364 6372 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6365 6373
6366 6374 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6367 6375 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6368 6376 maintain.
6369 6377
6370 6378 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6371 6379 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6372 6380 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6373 6381 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6374 6382 compiled and startup is much faster.
6375 6383
6376 6384 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6377 6385 while without messing too much more with the code.
6378 6386
6379 6387 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6380 6388
6381 6389 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6382 6390
6383 6391 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6384 6392 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6385 6393 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6386 6394
6387 6395 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6388 6396 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6389 6397
6390 6398 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6391 6399 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6392 6400 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6393 6401 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6394 6402 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6395 6403 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6396 6404
6397 6405 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6398 6406 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6399 6407
6400 6408 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6401 6409 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6402 6410
6403 6411 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6404 6412 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6405 6413 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6406 6414 excessive.
6407 6415
6408 6416 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6409 6417 types (only first word was displayed).
6410 6418
6411 6419 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6412 6420
6413 6421 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6414 6422
6415 6423 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6416 6424 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6417 6425 travel along many directories.
6418 6426
6419 6427 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6420 6428 arguments with default values.
6421 6429
6422 6430 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6423 6431
6424 6432 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6425 6433 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6426 6434
6427 6435 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6428 6436
6429 6437 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6430 6438 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6431 6439 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6432 6440
6433 6441 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6434 6442
6435 6443 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6436 6444 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6437 6445 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6438 6446 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6439 6447 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6440 6448 purposes.
6441 6449
6442 6450 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6443 6451 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6444 6452 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6445 6453 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6446 6454 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6447 6455 one can simply say
6448 6456 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6449 6457 or even
6450 6458 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6451 6459
6452 6460 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6453 6461 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6454 6462 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6455 6463
6456 6464 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6457 6465 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6458 6466 they were defined in
6459 6467
6460 6468 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6461 6469
6462 6470 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6463 6471 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6464 6472 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6465 6473 these to show the same information.
6466 6474
6467 6475 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6468 6476
6469 6477 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6470 6478 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6471 6479 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6472 6480 backtracked on the whole class!)
6473 6481
6474 6482 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6475 6483 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6476 6484 everything works as before).
6477 6485
6478 6486 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6479 6487 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6480 6488 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6481 6489 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6482 6490
6483 6491 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6484 6492
6485 6493 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6486 6494
6487 6495 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6488 6496 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6489 6497
6490 6498 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6491 6499 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6492 6500 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6493 6501 this later.
6494 6502
6495 6503 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6496 6504
6497 6505 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6498 6506 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6499 6507 line option.
6500 6508
6501 6509 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6502 6510 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6503 6511 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6504 6512 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6505 6513 didn't return a result).
6506 6514
6507 6515 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6508 6516
6509 6517 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6510 6518
6511 6519 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6512 6520 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6513 6521 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6514 6522 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6515 6523
6516 6524 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6517 6525
6518 6526 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6519 6527
6520 6528 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6521 6529 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6522 6530
6523 6531 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6524 6532 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6525 6533 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6526 6534 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6527 6535 in with the next entry:
6528 6536
6529 6537 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6530 6538 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6531 6539 handling.
6532 6540
6533 6541 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6534 6542 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6535 6543 namespace protection and documentation.
6536 6544
6537 6545 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6538 6546
6539 6547 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6540 6548 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6541 6549
6542 6550 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6543 6551
6544 6552 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6545 6553
6546 6554 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6547 6555
6548 6556 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6549 6557 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6550 6558 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6551 6559 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6552 6560 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6553 6561
6554 6562 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6555 6563 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6556 6564 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6557 6565
6558 6566 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6559 6567
6560 6568 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6561 6569 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6562 6570
6563 6571 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6564 6572
6565 6573 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6566 6574
6567 6575 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6568 6576 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6569 6577 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6570 6578 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6571 6579 ScientificPython.
6572 6580
6573 6581 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6574 6582
6575 6583 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6576 6584 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6577 6585 when called with no args.
6578 6586
6579 6587 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6580 6588 closely.
6581 6589
6582 6590 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6583 6591 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6584 6592 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6585 6593 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6586 6594 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6587 6595
6588 6596 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6589 6597
6590 6598 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6591 6599 customizations there and access them via import.
6592 6600
6593 6601 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6594 6602
6595 6603 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6596 6604
6597 6605 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6598 6606 Nathan and Janko.
6599 6607
6600 6608 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6601 6609
6602 6610 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6603 6611 too long.
6604 6612
6605 6613 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6606 6614
6607 6615 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6608 6616 ?sin and sin?
6609 6617 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6610 6618 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6611 6619 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6612 6620 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6613 6621
6614 6622 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6615 6623
6616 6624 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6617 6625
6618 6626 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6619 6627 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6620 6628
6621 6629 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6622 6630 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6623 6631 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6624 6632 me).
6625 6633
6626 6634 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6627 6635 protected (reasonably).
6628 6636
6629 6637 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6630 6638 note through it (it was too long).
6631 6639
6632 6640 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6633 6641 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6634 6642 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6635 6643 parameters.
6636 6644
6637 6645
6638 6646 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6639 6647
6640 6648 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6641 6649 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6642 6650 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6643 6651
6644 6652 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6645 6653 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6646 6654 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6647 6655
6648 6656 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6649 6657
6650 6658 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6651 6659
6652 6660 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6653 6661
6654 6662 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6655 6663 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6656 6664 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6657 6665 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6658 6666 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6659 6667 break.
6660 6668
6661 6669 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6662 6670 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6663 6671 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6664 6672 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6665 6673 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6666 6674 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6667 6675
6668 6676 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6669 6677 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6670 6678 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6671 6679 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6672 6680 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6673 6681 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6674 6682 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6675 6683 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6676 6684 trick.
6677 6685
6678 6686 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6679 6687 session restoring.
6680 6688
6681 6689 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6682 6690 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6683 6691 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6684 6692 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6685 6693 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6686 6694
6687 6695 * Started ChangeLog.
