1 1 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 2
3 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
4 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
5
3 6 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
4 7 code, handy in general.
5 8
6 9 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
7 10 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
8 11 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
9 12
10 13 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
11 14
12 15 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
13 16 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
14 17 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
15 18 testing, though.
16 19 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
17 20 like this before...
18 21
19 22 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
20 23 non-dirs in win32 registry.
21 24
22 25 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
23 26 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
24 27
25 28 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
26 29
27 30 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
28 31 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
29 32 F. Mantegazza.
30 33
31 34 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
32 35
33 36 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
34 37 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
35 38 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
36 39
37 40 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
38 41 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
39 42 <chmod007 AT mac.com>.
40 43 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
41 44 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
42 45 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
43 46
44 47 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
45 48
46 49 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
47 50 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
48 51 beyond readline-based environments.
49 52
50 53 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
51 54
52 55 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
53 56
54 57 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
55 58 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
56 59 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
57 60 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
58 61 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
59 62
60 63 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
61 64
62 65 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
63 66 contains non-string attribute. Closes
64 67 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
65 68
66 69 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
67 70
68 71 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
69 72
70 73 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
71 74
72 75 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
73 76 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
74 77 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
75 78 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
76 79 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
77 80 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
78 81
79 82 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
80 83
81 84 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
82 85
83 86 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
84 87
85 88 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
86 89 invalid $HOME under win32.
87 90
88 91 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
89 92
90 93 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
91 94 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
92 95 simpler and a bit faster.
93 96
94 97 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
95 98 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
96 99 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
97 100 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
98 101 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
99 102
100 103 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
101 104 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
102 105 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
103 106
104 107 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
105 108 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
106 109
107 110 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
108 111 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
109 112 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
110 113 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
111 114 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
112 115 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
113 116 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
114 117
115 118 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
116 119
117 120 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
118 121
119 122 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
120 123
121 124 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
122 125 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
123 126
124 127 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
125 128
126 129 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
127 130 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
128 131 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
129 132 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
130 133 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
131 134 for the contribution.
132 135
133 136 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
134 137 slightly modified version of the patch in
135 138 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
136 139 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
137 140 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann AT jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
138 141
139 142 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
140 143
141 144 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
142 145 I/O a bit more.
143 146
144 147 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
145 148 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
146 149

148 151
149 152 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
150 153
151 154 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
152 155 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
153 156 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
154 157 readline delimiters configuration to read:
155 158
156 159 readline_remove_delims -/~
157 160
158 161
159 162 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
160 163
161 164 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
162 165
163 166 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
164 167 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
165 168 <eli@gondolin.net>
166 169
167 170 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
168 171
169 172 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
170 173 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
171 174
172 175 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
173 176
174 177 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
175 178 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
176 179 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
177 180
178 181 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
179 182
180 183 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
181 184 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
182 185
183 186 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
184 187
185 188 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
186 189 to usage page (invoked with --help).
187 190
188 191 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
189 192 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
190 193 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
191 194 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
192 195 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
193 196 for more details.
194 197
195 198 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
196 199 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
197 200 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
198 201 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
199 202
200 203 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
201 204
202 205 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
203 206 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
204 207 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
205 208 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
206 209 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
207 210
208 211 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
209 212 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
210 213 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
211 214
212 215 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
213 216
214 217 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
215 218
216 219 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
217 220
218 221 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
219 222 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
220 223 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
221 224 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
222 225 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
223 226
224 227 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
225 228
226 229 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
227 230
228 231 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
229 232 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
230 233 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
231 234 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
232 235 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
233 236
234 237 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
235 238 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
236 239 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
237 240 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
238 241 take the text parameter.
239 242
240 243 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
241 244 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
242 245 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
243 246 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
244 247 pysh profile to include the line
245 248
246 249 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
247 250
248 251 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
249 252 delete pysh.py and the line
250 253
251 254 execfile pysh.py
252 255
253 256 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
254 257
255 258 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
256 259 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
257 260 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
258 261 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
259 262 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
260 263
261 264 * pysh.py:
262 265
263 266 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
264 267
265 268 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
266 269 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
267 270 want it can still turn it off.
268 271
269 272 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
270 273 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
271 274 off by default.
272 275
273 276 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
274 277 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
275 278 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
276 279 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
277 280 calls.
278 281
279 282 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
280 283
281 284 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
282 285 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
283 286 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
284 287
285 288 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
286 289
287 290 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
288 291 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
289 292 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
290 293 (including 0) after the ':' character.
291 294
292 295 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
293 296 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
294 297 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
295 298 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
296 299
297 300 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
298 301
299 302 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
300 303 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
301 304
302 305 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
303 306 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
304 307 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
305 308 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
306 309 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
307 310 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
308 311 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
309 312 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
310 313
311 314 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
312 315
313 316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
314 317 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
315 318 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
316 319 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
317 320 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
318 321 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
319 322 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
320 323 add new completers at runtime.
321 324
322 325 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
323 326
324 327 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
325 328 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
326 329 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
327 330 ? system.
328 331
329 332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
330 333 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
331 334 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
332 335 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
333 336 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
334 337 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
335 338 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
336 339 conveninent, so not all is lost.
337 340
338 341 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
339 342
340 343 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
341 344 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
342 345 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
343 346 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
344 347 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
345 348
346 349 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
347 350 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
348 351 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
349 352 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
350 353 add:
351 354
352 355 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
353 356 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
354 357
355 358 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
356 359
357 360 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
358 361 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
359 362 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
360 363 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
361 364
362 365 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
363 366 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
364 367 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
365 368 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
366 369 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
367 370 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
368 371 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
369 372 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
370 373 further, simply bind them to any other name.
371 374
372 375 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
373 376
374 377 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
375 378 prompt namespace handling.
376 379
377 380 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
378 381
379 382 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
380 383 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
381 384 trips the emacs python mode).
382 385 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
383 386 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
384 387 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
385 388 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
386 389 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
387 390 calls will be made at runtime.
388 391
389 392 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
390 393
391 394 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
392 395 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
393 396 the call to %history.
394 397
395 398 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
396 399
397 400 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
398 401
399 402 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
400 403 ipmagic() function calls.
401 404
402 405 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
403 406 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
404 407
405 408 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
406 409
407 410 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
408 411 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
409 412 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
410 413 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
411 414 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
412 415 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
413 416 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
414 417 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
415 418
416 419 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
417 420
418 421 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
419 422 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
420 423 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
421 424 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
422 425 Ville Vainio.
423 426
424 427 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
425 428
426 429 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
427 430 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
428 431 define the ones they personally like.
429 432
430 433 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
431 434
432 435 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
433 436 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
434 437
435 438 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
436 439
437 440 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
438 441 into keys (for prompts, for example).
439 442
440 443 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
441 444 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
442 445 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
443 446 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
444 447 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
445 448 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
446 449 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
447 450 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
448 451
449 452 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
450 453 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
451 454 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
452 455 modified version of the original Debian patch at
453 456 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
454 457
455 458 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
456 459
457 460 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
458 461 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
459 462 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
460 463
461 464 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
462 465 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
463 466 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
464 467
465 468 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
466 469
467 470 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
468 471
469 472 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
470 473 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
471 474 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
472 475 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
473 476 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
474 477 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
475 478 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
476 479 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
477 480 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
478 481 system is a separate implementation).
479 482
480 483 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
481 484 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
482 485 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
483 486 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
484 487 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
485 488 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
486 489 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
487 490 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
488 491 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
489 492 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
490 493 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
491 494
492 495 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
493 496
494 497 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
495 498 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
496 499 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
497 500 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
498 501 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
499 502 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
500 503 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
501 504 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
502 505
503 506 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
504 507
505 508 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
506 509 previous call produced a syntax error.
507 510
508 511 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
509 512 classes without constructor.
510 513
511 514 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
512 515
513 516 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
514 517 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
515 518 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
516 519 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
517 520 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
518 521 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
519 522 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
520 523
521 524 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
522 525
523 526 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
524 527 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
525 528
526 529 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
527 530
528 531 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
529 532 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
530 533 optimizations.
531 534
532 535 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
533 536 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
534 537
535 538 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
536 539
537 540 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
538 541 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
539 542 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
540 543 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
541 544 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
542 545 avoid annoying the lists further.
543 546
544 547 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
545 548
546 549 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
547 550
548 551 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
549 552 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
550 553 norm definitions.
551 554 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
552 555 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
553 556 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
554 557
555 558 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
556 559 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
557 560 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
558 561 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
559 562 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
560 563
561 564 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
562 565 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
563 566 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
564 567 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
565 568
566 569 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
567 570 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
568 571 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
569 572 fixes.
570 573
571 574 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
572 575 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
573 576 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
574 577 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
575 578 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
576 579 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
577 580 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
578 581
579 582 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
580 583
581 584 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
582 585
583 586 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
584 587 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
585 588 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
586 589 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
587 590 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
588 591 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
589 592 Panel.
590 593
591 594 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
592 595 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
593 596 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
594 597 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
595 598 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
596 599
597 600 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
598 601
599 602 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
600 603 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
601 604
602 605 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
603 606
604 607 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
605 608
606 609 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
607 610 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
608 611 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
609 612 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
610 613 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
611 614 python shell.
612 615
613 616 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
614 617 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
615 618 on assignments. This closes
616 619 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
617 620 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
618 621 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
619 622
620 623 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
621 624
622 625 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
623 626 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
624 627
625 628 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7

627 630 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
628 631
629 632 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
630 633 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
631 634
632 635 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
633 636
634 637 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
635 638 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
636 639 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
637 640
638 641 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
639 642
640 643 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
641 644 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
642 645 'parent' object were present on the same line.
643 646
644 647 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
645 648
646 649 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
647 650 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
648 651 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
649 652
650 653 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
651 654 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
652 655 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
653 656
654 657 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
655 658
656 659 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
657 660 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.

660 663
661 664 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
662 665 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
663 666 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
664 667
665 668 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
666 669
667 670 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
668 671 reported by Prabhu.
669 672 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
670 673 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
671 674 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
672 675
673 676 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
674 677 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
675 678
676 679 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
677 680 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
678 681 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
679 682 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
680 683 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
681 684 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
682 685
683 686 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
684 687
685 688 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
686 689
687 690 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
688 691 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
689 692 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
690 693 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
691 694
692 695 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
693 696 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
694 697
695 698 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
696 699 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
697 700 typed at the IPython cmd line.
698 701 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
699 702 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
700 703 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
701 704 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
702 705
703 706 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
704 707 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
705 708 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
706 709
707 710 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
708 711 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
709 712 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
710 713 before.
711 714
712 715 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
713 716
714 717 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
715 718 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
716 719 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
717 720 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
718 721
719 722 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
720 723 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
721 724 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
722 725 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
723 726 timing very short-running code.
724 727
725 728 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
726 729 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
727 730 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
728 731 utility.
729 732
730 733 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
731 734 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
732 735 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
733 736 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
734 737 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
735 738 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
736 739 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
737 740 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
738 741
739 742 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
740 743 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
741 744 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
742 745
743 746 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
744 747 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
745 748 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
746 749 is for).
747 750
748 751 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
749 752 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
750 753 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
751 754 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
752 755 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
753 756
754 757 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
755 758
756 759 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
757 760 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
758 761 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
759 762 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
760 763 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
761 764
762 765 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
763 766 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
764 767 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
765 768 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
766 769 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
767 770 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
768 771
769 772 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
770 773
771 774 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
772 775 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
773 776
774 777 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
775 778
776 779 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
777 780 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
778 781 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
779 782 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
780 783
781 784 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
782 785
783 786 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
784 787
785 788 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
786 789 setting with -d option.
787 790
788 791 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
789 792 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
790 793 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
791 794 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
792 795
793 796 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
794 797
795 798 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
796 799 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
797 800
798 801 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
799 802 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
800 803 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
801 804 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
802 805 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
803 806 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
804 807 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
805 808 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
806 809 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
807 810 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
808 811 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
809 812
810 813 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
811 814
812 815 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
813 816 cache when empty lines were present.
814 817
815 818 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
816 819
817 820 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
818 821 options for WX and GTK.
819 822
820 823 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
821 824
822 825 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
823 826 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
824 827 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
825 828 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
826 829 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
827 830 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
828 831 limitations, this is a great improvement.
829 832
830 833 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
831 834 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
832 835
833 836 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
834 837
835 838 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
836 839 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
837 840 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
838 841 many thanks.
839 842
840 843 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
841 844 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
842 845 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
843 846
844 847 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
845 848
846 849 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
847 850 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
848 851 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
849 852
850 853 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
851 854
852 855 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
853 856
854 857 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
855 858 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
856 859 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
857 860
858 861 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
859 862
860 863 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
861 864 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
862 865
863 866 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
864 867
865 868 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
866 869 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
867 870 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
868 871 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
869 872 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
870 873 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
871 874 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
872 875
873 876 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
874 877
875 878 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
876 879 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
877 880 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
878 881 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
879 882
880 883 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
881 884 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
882 885
883 886 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
884 887
885 888 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
886 889 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
887 890
888 891 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
889 892 use throughout ipython.
890 893
891 894 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
892 895 OInspect.getdoc() function.
893 896
894 897 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
895 898 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
896 899 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
897 900 handling cross-thread exceptions).
898 901
899 902 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
900 903
901 904 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
902 905 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
903 906 report by Francesc Alted.
904 907
905 908 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
906 909
907 910 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
908 911 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
909 912
910 913 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
911 914
912 915 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
913 916 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
914 917 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
915 918 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
916 919 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
917 920 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
918 921 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
919 922 correctly set.
920 923
921 924 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
922 925
923 926 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
924 927 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
925 928 import requirement of PEP-328.
926 929
927 930 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
928 931 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
929 932 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
930 933 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
931 934
932 935 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
933 936
934 937 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
935 938
936 939 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
937 940 via a normal python function call.
938 941
939 942 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
940 943 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
941 944 2.4.
942 945
943 946 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
944 947
945 948 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
946 949 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
947 950 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
948 951 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
949 952 is given to the user).
950 953
951 954 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
952 955
953 956 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
954 957 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
955 958 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
956 959 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
957 960
958 961 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
959 962 python 2.2.
960 963
961 964 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
962 965 banner arg for embedded customization.
963 966
964 967 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
965 968 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
966 969 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
967 970 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
968 971 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
969 972 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
970 973
971 974 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
972 975 minor changes to debian dir.
973 976
974 977 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
975 978 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
976 979 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
977 980 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
978 981
979 982 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
980 983
981 984 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
982 985 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
983 986 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
984 987 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
985 988 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
986 989
987 990 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
988 991
989 992 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
990 993 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
991 994
992 995 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
993 996
994 997 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
995 998 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
996 999
997 1000 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
998 1001
999 1002 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1000 1003
1001 1004 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
1002 1005 updated.
1003 1006
1004 1007 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1005 1008
1006 1009 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
1007 1010 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
1008 1011 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
1009 1012 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
1010 1013 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
1011 1014
1012 1015 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
1013 1016 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
1014 1017 split regexp. Closes
1015 1018 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
1016 1019 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
1017 1020 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
1018 1021 extensions.
1019 1022
1020 1023 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
1021 1024 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
1022 1025 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
1023 1026 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
1024 1027 for generic code and for matplotlib.
1025 1028
1026 1029 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
1027 1030 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
1028 1031 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
1029 1032 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
1030 1033
1031 1034 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
1032 1035 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
1033 1036
1034 1037 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
1035 1038 fine-tune banner.
1036 1039
1037 1040 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
1038 1041 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
1039 1042
1040 1043 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1041 1044
1042 1045 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
1043 1046 were missing.
1044 1047
1045 1048 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
1046 1049 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
1047 1050 valid at the command line.
1048 1051
1049 1052 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
1050 1053 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
1051 1054
1052 1055 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1053 1056
1054 1057 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
1055 1058 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
1056 1059 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
1057 1060
1058 1061 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1059 1062
1060 1063 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
1061 1064 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
1062 1065 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
1063 1066 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
1064 1067 continue to use the standard profiler.
1065 1068
1066 1069 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1067 1070
1068 1071 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
1069 1072 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
1070 1073 close.
1071 1074
1072 1075 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1073 1076
1074 1077 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
1075 1078 in Magic and ultraTB.
1076 1079
1077 1080 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
1078 1081
1079 1082 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
1080 1083 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
1081 1084 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
1082 1085 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
1083 1086
1084 1087 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
1085 1088 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
1086 1089 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
1087 1090 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
1088 1091 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
1089 1092 infrastructure in place.
1090 1093
1091 1094 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1092 1095
1093 1096 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
1094 1097
1095 1098 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
1096 1099 the pylab profile.
1097 1100
1098 1101 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
1099 1102
1100 1103 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1101 1104
1102 1105 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
1103 1106 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
1104 1107 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
1105 1108 itself.
1106 1109
1107 1110 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
1108 1111 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
1109 1112 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
1110 1113 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
1111 1114 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
1112 1115 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
1113 1116 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
1114 1117 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
1115 1118
1116 1119 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
1117 1120 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
1118 1121
1119 1122 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1120 1123
1121 1124 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
1122 1125 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
1123 1126 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
1124 1127
1125 1128 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1126 1129
1127 1130 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
1128 1131 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
1129 1132
1130 1133 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1131 1134
1132 1135 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
1133 1136
1134 1137 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
1135 1138
1136 1139 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1137 1140
1138 1141 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
1139 1142 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
1140 1143 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
1141 1144
1142 1145 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1143 1146
1144 1147 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
1145 1148 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
1146 1149 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
1147 1150 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
1148 1151 works.
1149 1152
1150 1153 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
1151 1154 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
1152 1155 practice.
1153 1156
1154 1157 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1155 1158
1156 1159 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
1157 1160 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
1158 1161 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
1159 1162
1160 1163 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1161 1164
1162 1165 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
1163 1166 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
1164 1167 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
1165 1168 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
1166 1169
1167 1170 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1168 1171
1169 1172 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
1170 1173 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
1171 1174 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
1172 1175 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
1173 1176
1174 1177 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
1175 1178
1176 1179 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1177 1180
1178 1181 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
1179 1182 fail for any number.
1180 1183 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
1181 1184 empty bookmarks.
1182 1185
1183 1186 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
1184 1187
1185 1188 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1186 1189
1187 1190 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
1188 1191
1189 1192 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
1190 1193 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
1191 1194
1192 1195 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
1193 1196 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
1194 1197
1195 1198 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1196 1199
1197 1200 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
1198 1201 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
1199 1202 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
1200 1203 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
1201 1204 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
1202 1205
1203 1206 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1204 1207
1205 1208 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
1206 1209 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
1207 1210
1208 1211 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1209 1212
1210 1213 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
1211 1214 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
1212 1215 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
1213 1216 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
1214 1217
1215 1218 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
1216 1219 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
1217 1220 Schmolck.
1218 1221
1219 1222 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1220 1223
1221 1224 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
1222 1225
1223 1226 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
1224 1227 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
1225 1228
1226 1229 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
1227 1230 optimizations.
1228 1231
1229 1232 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
1230 1233 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
1231 1234
1232 1235 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
1233 1236 --Started changelog.
1234 1237 --make clear do what it say it does
1235 1238 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
1236 1239 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
1237 1240 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
1238 1241 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
1239 1242 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
1240 1243 can be done for other cases.
1241 1244 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
1242 1245 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
1243 1246 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
1244 1247
1245 1248 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
1246 1249 --added logfile rotation
1247 1250 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
1248 1251
1249 1252 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
1250 1253 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
1251 1254 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
1252 1255 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
1253 1256 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
1254 1257 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
1255 1258 --added global logfile option
1256 1259 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
1257 1260 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
1258 1261
1259 1262 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
1260 1263 --added a README
1261 1264 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
1262 1265 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
1263 1266 bug or feature.
1264 1267 --changed rc file for new behavior
1265 1268
1266 1269 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1267 1270
1268 1271 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
1269 1272 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
1270 1273 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
1271 1274
1272 1275 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
1273 1276 information which was there from Janko's original code:
1274 1277
1275 1278 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
1276 1279
1277 1280 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
1278 1281 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
1279 1282 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
1280 1283 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
1281 1284 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
1282 1285 and prepended with a #.
1283 1286
1284 1287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
1285 1288 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
1286 1289
1287 1290 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1288 1291
1289 1292 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
1290 1293 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
1291 1294
1292 1295 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1293 1296
1294 1297 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
1295 1298 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
1296 1299
1297 1300 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1298 1301
1299 1302 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
1300 1303 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
1301 1304 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
1302 1305
1303 1306 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1304 1307
1305 1308 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
1306 1309 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
1307 1310
1308 1311 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1309 1312 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
1310 1313 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
1311 1314 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
1312 1315 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
1313 1316 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
1314 1317 be implemented later).
1315 1318
1316 1319 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
1317 1320 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
1318 1321 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
1319 1322 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
1320 1323
1321 1324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
1322 1325 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
1323 1326 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
1324 1327
1325 1328 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
1326 1329 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
1327 1330
1328 1331 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
1329 1332 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
1330 1333 readline make it impossible to go further.
1331 1334
1332 1335 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1333 1336
1334 1337 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
1335 1338 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
1336 1339
1337 1340 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1338 1341
1339 1342 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
1340 1343 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
1341 1344 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
1342 1345 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
1343 1346
1344 1347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
1345 1348 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
1346 1349 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
1347 1350 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
1348 1351
1349 1352 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
1350 1353 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
1351 1354 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
1352 1355 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
1353 1356 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
1354 1357 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
1355 1358 problem.
1356 1359
1357 1360 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
1358 1361 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
1359 1362
1360 1363 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
1361 1364 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
1362 1365 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
1363 1366
1364 1367 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1365 1368
1366 1369 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
1367 1370 continue prompts.
1368 1371
1369 1372 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
1370 1373 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
1371 1374 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
1372 1375 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
1373 1376 byte-compilation saves time.
1374 1377
1375 1378 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1376 1379
1377 1380 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
1378 1381 -NUM', which was recently broken.
1379 1382
1380 1383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
1381 1384 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
1382 1385
1383 1386 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
1384 1387 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
1385 1388 common cases where it's a problem.
1386 1389
1387 1390 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1388 1391
1389 1392 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
1390 1393 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
1391 1394 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
1392 1395 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
1393 1396 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
1394 1397 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
1395 1398
1396 1399 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1397 1400
1398 1401 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
1399 1402 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
1400 1403
1401 1404 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
1402 1405 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
1403 1406 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
1404 1407 structure as win_exec_ext.
1405 1408
1406 1409 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
1407 1410 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
1408 1411
1409 1412 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
1410 1413 delete aliases.
1411 1414
1412 1415 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
1413 1416 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
1414 1417
1415 1418 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1416 1419
1417 1420 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
1418 1421 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
1419 1422
1420 1423 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1421 1424
1422 1425 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
1423 1426 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
1424 1427
1425 1428 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
1426 1429 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
1427 1430
1428 1431 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
1429 1432 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
1430 1433 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
1431 1434 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
1432 1435 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
1433 1436 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
1434 1437
1435 1438 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
1436 1439 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
1437 1440 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
1438 1441
1439 1442 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
1440 1443 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
1441 1444 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
1442 1445
1443 1446 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
1444 1447 via an extra $. For example:
1445 1448
1446 1449 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
1447 1450
1448 1451 In [8]: !echo $PATH
1449 1452 a python variable
1450 1453
1451 1454 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
1452 1455 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
1453 1456
1454 1457 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
1455 1458 things prematurely.
1456 1459
1457 1460 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
1458 1461 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
1459 1462
1460 1463 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
1461 1464 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
1462 1465 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
1463 1466 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
1464 1467 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
1465 1468 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
1466 1469 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
1467 1470 programs in the user's path is obtained.
1468 1471
1469 1472 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
1470 1473 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
1471 1474 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
1472 1475 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
1473 1476 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
1474 1477 with the old system).
1475 1478
1476 1479 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1477 1480
1478 1481 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
1479 1482 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
1480 1483
1481 1484 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
1482 1485 call to eval.
1483 1486 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
1484 1487 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
1485 1488 in.
1486 1489
1487 1490 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1488 1491
1489 1492 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
1490 1493 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
1491 1494 confusion).
1492 1495
1493 1496 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
1494 1497 check for Windows users.
1495 1498
1496 1499 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
1497 1500 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
1498 1501 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
1499 1502 download it.
1500 1503
1501 1504 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1502 1505
1503 1506 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
1504 1507 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
1505 1508 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
1506 1509 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
1507 1510 of IDLE's out).
1508 1511
1509 1512 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
1510 1513 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
1511 1514 eventually.
1512 1515 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
1513 1516
1514 1517 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1515 1518
1516 1519 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
1517 1520 list of auto-defined aliases.
1518 1521
1519 1522 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1520 1523
1521 1524 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
1522 1525 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
1523 1526 things under Windows).
1524 1527
1525 1528 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1526 1529
1527 1530 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
1528 1531 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
1529 1532 reported by Thorsten.
1530 1533
1531 1534 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1532 1535
1533 1536 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
1534 1537 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
1535 1538 for all examples and the manual as well.
1536 1539
1537 1540 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1538 1541
1539 1542 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
1540 1543 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
1541 1544 inherit from BasePrompt.
1542 1545
1543 1546 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
1544 1547 with python version (since paths are fixed).
1545 1548
1546 1549 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
1547 1550 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
1548 1551 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
1549 1552 defaults.
1550 1553 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
1551 1554 this fix manually!
1552 1555
1553 1556 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
1554 1557 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
1555 1558 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
1556 1559 distutils).
1557 1560
1558 1561 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
1559 1562 usage of new '\D' escape.
1560 1563
1561 1564 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
1562 1565 lacks os.getuid())
1563 1566 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
1564 1567 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
1565 1568 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
1566 1569 handling mechanism.
1567 1570 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
1568 1571 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
1569 1572 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
1570 1573 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
1571 1574 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
1572 1575 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
1573 1576 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
1574 1577
1575 1578 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1576 1579
1577 1580 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
1578 1581 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
1579 1582 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
1580 1583
1581 1584 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
1582 1585 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
1583 1586 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
1584 1587 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
1585 1588 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
1586 1589 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
1587 1590 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
1588 1591 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
1589 1592
1590 1593 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
1591 1594 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
1592 1595 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
1593 1596 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
1594 1597 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
1595 1598 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
1596 1599 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
1597 1600 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
1598 1601
1599 1602 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
1600 1603 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
1601 1604 functions uniform.
1602 1605 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
1603 1606
1604 1607 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
1605 1608 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
1606 1609 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
1607 1610 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
1608 1611 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
1609 1612 use to parse their options.
1610 1613
1611 1614 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
1612 1615 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
1613 1616 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
1614 1617
1615 1618 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
1616 1619 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
1617 1620 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
1618 1621 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
1619 1622 via the prompt_specials.
1620 1623
1621 1624 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1622 1625
1623 1626 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
1624 1627 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
1625 1628 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
1626 1629 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
1627 1630 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
1628 1631 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
1629 1632 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
1630 1633 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
1631 1634
1632 1635 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1633 1636
1634 1637 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
1635 1638 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
1636 1639 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
1637 1640
1638 1641 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1639 1642
1640 1643 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
1641 1644 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
1642 1645
1643 1646 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1644 1647
1645 1648 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
1646 1649 parens would get passed to the shell.
1647 1650
1648 1651 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1649 1652
1650 1653 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
1651 1654 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
1652 1655
1653 1656 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
1654 1657 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
1655 1658 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
1656 1659 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
1657 1660 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
1658 1661
1659 1662 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
1660 1663 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
1661 1664 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
1662 1665 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
1663 1666
1664 1667 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
1665 1668
1666 1669 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1667 1670
1668 1671 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
1669 1672 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
1670 1673 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
1671 1674
1672 1675 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
1673 1676 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
1674 1677 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
1675 1678 official documentation.
1676 1679
1677 1680 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1678 1681
1679 1682 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
1680 1683 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
1681 1684 explicit filename.
1682 1685
1683 1686 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1684 1687
1685 1688 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
1686 1689 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
1687 1690 case.
1688 1691
1689 1692 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
1690 1693 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
1691 1694 updated the new_design doc a bit.
1692 1695
1693 1696 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
1694 1697
1695 1698 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1696 1699
1697 1700 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
1698 1701 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
1699 1702 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
1700 1703 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
1701 1704 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
1702 1705 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
1703 1706 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
1704 1707 any changes to python proper.
1705 1708
1706 1709 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
1707 1710 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
1708 1711 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
1709 1712 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
1710 1713 Schmolck.
1711 1714
1712 1715 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1713 1716
1714 1717 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
1715 1718 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
1716 1719 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
1717 1720 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
1718 1721
1719 1722 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1720 1723
1721 1724 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
1722 1725 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
1723 1726 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
1724 1727 name).
1725 1728
1726 1729 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
1727 1730 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
1728 1731 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
1729 1732 Francois Pinard.
1730 1733
1731 1734 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1732 1735
1733 1736 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
1734 1737 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
1735 1738 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
1736 1739 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
1737 1740 not work.
1738 1741
1739 1742 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1740 1743
1741 1744 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
1742 1745 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
1743 1746 distinguishes stdout/err.
1744 1747
1745 1748 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
1746 1749 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
1747 1750 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
1748 1751 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
1749 1752 the standard library.
1750 1753
1751 1754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
1752 1755 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
1753 1756
1754 1757 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
1755 1758 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
1756 1759
1757 1760 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1758 1761
1759 1762 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
1760 1763 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
1761 1764 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
1762 1765 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
1763 1766 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
1764 1767 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...

1767 1770
1768 1771 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
1769 1772 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
1770 1773 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
1771 1774 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.

1773 1776 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1774 1777
1775 1778 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
1776 1779 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
1777 1780 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
1778 1781 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
1779 1782
1780 1783 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1781 1784
1782 1785 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
1783 1786 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
1784 1787 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
1785 1788 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
1786 1789 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
1787 1790 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
1788 1791 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
1789 1792 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
1790 1793
1791 1794 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1792 1795
1793 1796 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
1794 1797 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
1795 1798
1796 1799 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1797 1800
1798 1801 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
1799 1802 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
1800 1803 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
1801 1804 very short.
1802 1805
1803 1806 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1804 1807
1805 1808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
1806 1809 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
1807 1810 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
1808 1811 this before making it permanent.
1809 1812
1810 1813 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
1811 1814 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
1812 1815 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
1813 1816 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
1814 1817
1815 1818 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1816 1819
1817 1820 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
1818 1821 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
1819 1822
1820 1823 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1821 1824
1822 1825 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
1823 1826 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
1824 1827 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
1825 1828 cases I've missed.
1826 1829
1827 1830 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1828 1831
1829 1832 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
1830 1833 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
1831 1834 system would be triggered for @p.
1832 1835
1833 1836 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
1834 1837 cleanups, code unmodified.
1835 1838
1836 1839 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
1837 1840 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
1838 1841 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
1839 1842 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
1840 1843 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
1841 1844 The actual changes affect many files.
1842 1845
1843 1846 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1844 1847
1845 1848 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
1846 1849 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
1847 1850 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
1848 1851
1849 1852 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1850 1853
1851 1854 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
1852 1855 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
1853 1856
1854 1857 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1855 1858
1856 1859 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
1857 1860 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
1858 1861 numpy list.
1859 1862
1860 1863 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1861 1864
1862 1865 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
1863 1866 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
1864 1867 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
1865 1868 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
1866 1869
1867 1870 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1868 1871
1869 1872 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
1870 1873 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
1871 1874 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
1872 1875 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
1873 1876
1874 1877 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
1875 1878 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
1876 1879
1877 1880 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1878 1881
1879 1882 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
1880 1883 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
1881 1884 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
1882 1885 Collins.
1883 1886
1884 1887 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
1885 1888
1886 1889 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1887 1890
1888 1891 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
1889 1892 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
1890 1893 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
1891 1894
1892 1895 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1893 1896
1894 1897 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
1895 1898 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
1896 1899 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
1897 1900 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
1898 1901
1899 1902 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
1900 1903 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
1901 1904 __getitem__ and __call__.
1902 1905
1903 1906 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
1904 1907
1905 1908 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1906 1909
1907 1910 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
1908 1911 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
1909 1912 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
1910 1913 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
1911 1914
1912 1915 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
1913 1916 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
1914 1917 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
1915 1918 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
1916 1919 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
1917 1920 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
1918 1921 necessary.
1919 1922
1920 1923 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
1921 1924 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
1922 1925 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
1923 1926
1924 1927 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
1925 1928 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
1926 1929 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
1927 1930 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
1928 1931
1929 1932 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
1930 1933 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
1931 1934 generators.
1932 1935
1933 1936 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
1934 1937 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
1935 1938 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
1936 1939 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
1937 1940 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
1938 1941 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
1939 1942 potentially dangerous eval() again.
1940 1943
1941 1944 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
1942 1945 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
1943 1946 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
1944 1947 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
1945 1948 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
1946 1949
1947 1950 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
1948 1951 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
1949 1952 edit under some circumstances.
1950 1953 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
1951 1954 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
1952 1955 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
1953 1956 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
1954 1957 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
1955 1958 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
1956 1959 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
1957 1960 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
1958 1961 need more testing.
1959 1962
1960 1963 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1961 1964
1962 1965 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
1963 1966 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
1964 1967 and simpler code.
1965 1968
1966 1969 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1967 1970
1968 1971 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
1969 1972 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
1970 1973 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
1971 1974 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
1972 1975 even if they were contiguous.
1973 1976 (l1norm): Added this function.
1974 1977 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
1975 1978 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
1976 1979 and speed.
1977 1980
1978 1981 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1979 1982
1980 1983 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
1981 1984 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
1982 1985 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
1983 1986
1984 1987 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1985 1988
1986 1989 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
1987 1990 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
1988 1991 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
1989 1992
1990 1993 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
1991 1994 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
1992 1995 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
1993 1996
1994 1997 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1995 1998
1996 1999 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
1997 2000 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
1998 2001 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
1999 2002 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
2000 2003 activity.
2001 2004
2002 2005 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2003 2006
2004 2007 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
2005 2008 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
2006 2009 Numeric.identity)
2007 2010
2008 2011 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2009 2012
2010 2013 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
2011 2014 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
2012 2015 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
2013 2016
2014 2017 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2015 2018
2016 2019 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
2017 2020 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
2018 2021 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
2019 2022 ipython behaves like normal python does.
2020 2023
2021 2024 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
2022 2025 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
2023 2026 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
2024 2027 is implemented).
2025 2028
2026 2029 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2027 2030
2028 2031 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
2029 2032 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
2030 2033 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
2031 2034
2032 2035 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
2033 2036 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
2034 2037 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
2035 2038 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
2036 2039 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
2037 2040
2038 2041 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
2039 2042
2040 2043 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2041 2044
2042 2045 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
2043 2046 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
2044 2047 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
2045 2048
2046 2049 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2047 2050
2048 2051 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
2049 2052 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
2050 2053 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
2051 2054
2052 2055 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
2053 2056 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
2054 2057 crash report from Prabhu.
2055 2058
2056 2059 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2057 2060
2058 2061 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
2059 2062 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
2060 2063 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
2061 2064 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
2062 2065 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
2063 2066 also be useful in other cases.
2064 2067
2065 2068 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
2066 2069 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
2067 2070 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
2068 2071
2069 2072 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
2070 2073
2071 2074 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2072 2075
2073 2076 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
2074 2077 installing for a new user under Windows.
2075 2078
2076 2079 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2077 2080
2078 2081 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
2079 2082 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
2080 2083 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
2081 2084 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
2082 2085 there.
2083 2086
2084 2087 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
2085 2088 info to crash reports.
2086 2089
2087 2090 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
2088 2091 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
2089 2092 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
2090 2093 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
2091 2094
2092 2095 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2093 2096
2094 2097 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
2095 2098 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
2096 2099 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
2097 2100 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
2098 2101
2099 2102 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2100 2103
2101 2104 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
2102 2105 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
2103 2106
2104 2107 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2105 2108
2106 2109 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
2107 2110 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
2108 2111
2109 2112 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
2110 2113
2111 2114 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2112 2115
2113 2116 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
2114 2117 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
2115 2118 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
2116 2119
2117 2120 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
2118 2121 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
2119 2122 with the new auto-indent option.
2120 2123
2121 2124 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2122 2125
2123 2126 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
2124 2127 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
2125 2128 this class from the main Shell class.
2126 2129
2127 2130 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
2128 2131 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
2129 2132 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
2130 2133 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
2131 2134 option).
2132 2135
2133 2136 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
2134 2137 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
2135 2138 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
2136 2139 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
2137 2140 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
2138 2141
2139 2142 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
2140 2143 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
2141 2144 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
2142 2145
2143 2146 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
2144 2147 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
2145 2148 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
2146 2149 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
2147 2150 tracebacks.
2148 2151
2149 2152 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
2150 2153 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
2151 2154 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
2152 2155
2153 2156 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2154 2157
2155 2158 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
2156 2159 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
2157 2160 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
2158 2161 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
2159 2162
2160 2163 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2161 2164
2162 2165 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
2163 2166 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
2164 2167 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
2165 2168 for the bug report.
2166 2169
2167 2170 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2168 2171
2169 2172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
2170 2173 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
2171 2174 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
2172 2175 report.
2173 2176
2174 2177 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2175 2178
2176 2179 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
2177 2180 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
2178 2181 end).
2179 2182
2180 2183 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
2181 2184 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
2182 2185 too often, or I would have heard about it.
2183 2186
2184 2187 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2185 2188
2186 2189 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
2187 2190 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
2188 2191 for the patch.
2189 2192
2190 2193 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2191 2194
2192 2195 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
2193 2196 functions.
2194 2197
2195 2198 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
2196 2199
2197 2200 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2198 2201
2199 2202 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
2200 2203 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
2201 2204 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
2202 2205 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
2203 2206 private fix.
2204 2207
2205 2208 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
2206 2209 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
2207 2210 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
2208 2211 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
2209 2212 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
2210 2213 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
2211 2214 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
2212 2215 fixed for this setup.
2213 2216
2214 2217 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
2215 2218 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
2216 2219
2217 2220 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
2218 2221
2219 2222 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2220 2223
2221 2224 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
2222 2225 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
2223 2226 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
2224 2227 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
2225 2228 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
2226 2229 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
2227 2230 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
2228 2231 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
2229 2232 annoying bug is finally fixed.
2230 2233
2231 2234 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
2232 2235 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
2233 2236 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
2234 2237
2235 2238 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
2236 2239
2237 2240 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2238 2241
2239 2242 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
2240 2243 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
2241 2244 pickle-related issue in @run).
2242 2245
2243 2246 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2244 2247
2245 2248 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
2246 2249 the autocall option at runtime.
2247 2250 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
2248 2251 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
2249 2252 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
2250 2253 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
2251 2254 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
2252 2255 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
2253 2256 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
2254 2257 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
2255 2258 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
2256 2259 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
2257 2260 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
2258 2261 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
2259 2262 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
2260 2263 pickles to save something sensible.
2261 2264
2262 2265 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
2263 2266
2264 2267 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
2265 2268 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
2266 2269 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
2267 2270
2268 2271 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2269 2272
2270 2273 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
2271 2274 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
2272 2275
2273 2276 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
2274 2277
2275 2278 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
2276 2279 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
2277 2280 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
2278 2281 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
2279 2282
2280 2283 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2281 2284
2282 2285 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
2283 2286 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
2284 2287 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
2285 2288 array is non-contiguous.
2286 2289
2287 2290 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2288 2291
2289 2292 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
2290 2293 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
2291 2294 executed).
2292 2295 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
2293 2296 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
2294 2297 output.
2295 2298 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
2296 2299 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
2297 2300 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
2298 2301 changing.
2299 2302
2300 2303 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
2301 2304
2302 2305 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2303 2306
2304 2307 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
2305 2308 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
2306 2309 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
2307 2310 are removed only at IPython's exit.
2308 2311 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
2309 2312 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
2310 2313 like a normal command-line.
2311 2314
2312 2315 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
2313 2316 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
2314 2317 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
2315 2318 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
2316 2319
2317 2320 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2318 2321
2319 2322 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
2320 2323 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
2321 2324 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
2322 2325 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
2323 2326
2324 2327 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2325 2328
2326 2329 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
2327 2330 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
2328 2331 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
2329 2332 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
2330 2333 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
2331 2334 think it's worth doing.
2332 2335
2333 2336 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
2334 2337
2335 2338 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2336 2339
2337 2340 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
2338 2341 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
2339 2342
2340 2343 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
2341 2344 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
2342 2345 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
2343 2346 also work ok.
2344 2347
2345 2348 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
2346 2349
2347 2350 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2348 2351
2349 2352 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
2350 2353
2351 2354 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
2352 2355 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
2353 2356 of gnuplot data files.
2354 2357
2355 2358 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2356 2359
2357 2360 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
2358 2361 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
2359 2362
2360 2363 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2361 2364
2362 2365 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
2363 2366 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
2364 2367 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
2365 2368 for pointing this out.
2366 2369
2367 2370 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2368 2371
2369 2372 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
2370 2373
2371 2374 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
2372 2375 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
2373 2376 Interactive.
2374 2377
2375 2378 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
2376 2379 being imported from iplib.
2377 2380
2378 2381 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
2379 2382 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
2380 2383 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
2381 2384 common name.
2382 2385
2383 2386 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
2384 2387 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
2385 2388
2386 2389 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
2387 2390 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
2388 2391
2389 2392 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
2390 2393 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
2391 2394 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
2392 2395 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
2393 2396 docstrings).
2394 2397
2395 2398 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2396 2399
2397 2400 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
2398 2401 (inconsistent with options).
2399 2402
2400 2403 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
2401 2404 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
2402 2405 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
2403 2406 eps output.
2404 2407
2405 2408 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2406 2409
2407 2410 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
2408 2411 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
2409 2412 Pinard.
2410 2413
2411 2414 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2412 2415
2413 2416 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
2414 2417 history file for new users.
2415 2418 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
2416 2419 user running in the .ipython dir.
2417 2420 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
2418 2421 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
2419 2422 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
2420 2423
2421 2424 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
2422 2425 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
2423 2426 consistently.
2424 2427
2425 2428 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
2426 2429 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
2427 2430 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
2428 2431 libraries I don't have access to.
2429 2432
2430 2433 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
2431 2434 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
2432 2435 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
2433 2436 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
2434 2437 report.
2435 2438
2436 2439 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2437 2440
2438 2441 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
2439 2442 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
2440 2443 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
2441 2444 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
2442 2445
2443 2446 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2444 2447
2445 2448 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
2446 2449 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
2447 2450 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
2448 2451 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
2449 2452 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
2450 2453 instance has been created.
2451 2454
2452 2455 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
2453 2456 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
2454 2457 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
2455 2458 dict by hand.
2456 2459
2457 2460 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2458 2461
2459 2462 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
2460 2463 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
2461 2464 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
2462 2465 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
2463 2466 broken.
2464 2467
2465 2468 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
2466 2469 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
2467 2470 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
2468 2471 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
2469 2472
2470 2473 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
2471 2474 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
2472 2475 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
2473 2476 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
2474 2477 is a valid one.
2475 2478
2476 2479 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
2477 2480 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
2478 2481 confirmation to have yes as the default.
2479 2482
2480 2483 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
2481 2484 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
2482 2485 simply leftover junk.
2483 2486
2484 2487 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2485 2488
2486 2489 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
2487 2490 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
2488 2491 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
2489 2492
2490 2493 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
2491 2494 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
2492 2495 exceptions.
2493 2496
2494 2497 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2495 2498
2496 2499 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
2497 2500 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
2498 2501 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
2499 2502 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
2500 2503 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
2501 2504
2502 2505 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
2503 2506 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
2504 2507
2505 2508 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
2506 2509 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
2507 2510 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
2508 2511 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
2509 2512 problem mentioned below.
2510 2513
2511 2514 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2512 2515
2513 2516 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
2514 2517 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
2515 2518
2516 2519 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
2517 2520 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
2518 2521 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
2519 2522 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
2520 2523 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
2521 2524
2522 2525 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
2523 2526 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
2524 2527 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
2525 2528 actual function names.
2526 2529
2527 2530 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
2528 2531 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
2529 2532 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
2530 2533 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
2531 2534 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
2532 2535 really be only function/method names.
2533 2536
2534 2537 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2535 2538
2536 2539 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
2537 2540 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
2538 2541 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
2539 2542
2540 2543 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2541 2544
2542 2545 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
2543 2546 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
2544 2547 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
2545 2548
2546 2549 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
2547 2550 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
2548 2551
2549 2552 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
2550 2553 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
2551 2554 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
2552 2555
2553 2556 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
2554 2557 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
2555 2558 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
2556 2559
2557 2560 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
2558 2561 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
2559 2562 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
2560 2563
2561 2564 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2562 2565
2563 2566 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
2564 2567 Gnuplot.File objects.
2565 2568
2566 2569 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2567 2570
2568 2571 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
2569 2572 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
2570 2573 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
2571 2574
2572 2575 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2573 2576
2574 2577 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
2575 2578 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
2576 2579
2577 2580 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
2578 2581 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
2579 2582
2580 2583 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
2581 2584 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
2582 2585
2583 2586 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2584 2587
2585 2588 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
2586 2589 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
2587 2590 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
2588 2591 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
2589 2592
2590 2593 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2591 2594
2592 2595 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
2593 2596 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
2594 2597 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
2595 2598
2596 2599 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2597 2600
2598 2601 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
2599 2602 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
2600 2603 workaround).
2601 2604
2602 2605 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2603 2606
2604 2607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
2605 2608 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
2606 2609
2607 2610 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2608 2611
2609 2612 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
2610 2613 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
2611 2614
2612 2615 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
2613 2616 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
2614 2617 .strip() is called on it.
2615 2618
2616 2619
2617 2620 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2618 2621
2619 2622 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
2620 2623 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
2621 2624 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
2622 2625
2623 2626 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
2624 2627 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
2625 2628
2626 2629 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
2627 2630 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
2628 2631 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
2629 2632
2630 2633 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2631 2634
2632 2635 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
2633 2636 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
2634 2637 __main__.
2635 2638
2636 2639 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
2637 2640 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
2638 2641
2639 2642 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
2640 2643 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
2641 2644 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
2642 2645 Mathematica behaves.
2643 2646
2644 2647 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2645 2648
2646 2649 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
2647 2650 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
2648 2651
2649 2652 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
2650 2653 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
2651 2654 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
2652 2655
2653 2656 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
2654 2657 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
2655 2658
2656 2659 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2657 2660
2658 2661 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
2659 2662 underflow problems in Numeric.
2660 2663 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
2661 2664 for exact integer powers of 2.
2662 2665
2663 2666 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
2664 2667 properly.
2665 2668
2666 2669 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2667 2670
2668 2671 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
2669 2672 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
2670 2673
2671 2674 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2672 2675
2673 2676 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
2674 2677 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
2675 2678
2676 2679 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2677 2680
2678 2681 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
2679 2682 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
2680 2683 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
2681 2684 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
2682 2685 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
2683 2686 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
2684 2687 times).
2685 2688
2686 2689 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
2687 2690 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
2688 2691 been redirected by user this gets honored.
2689 2692
2690 2693 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2691 2694
2692 2695 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
2693 2696 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
2694 2697 embedded code.
2695 2698
2696 2699 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
2697 2700 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
2698 2701 PYTHONSTARTUP.
2699 2702
2700 2703 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
2701 2704 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
2702 2705 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
2703 2706 less special-casing to remember.
2704 2707
2705 2708 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2706 2709
2707 2710 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
2708 2711 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
2709 2712 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
2710 2713 arg is not a defined object.
2711 2714 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
2712 2715 a Mike Heeter idea.
2713 2716
2714 2717 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
2715 2718 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
2716 2719 interactive use.
2717 2720
2718 2721 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
2719 2722 filenames.
2720 2723
2721 2724 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2722 2725
2723 2726 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
2724 2727 initialization via another struct.
2725 2728
2726 2729 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
2727 2730 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
2728 2731
2729 2732 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2730 2733
2731 2734 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
2732 2735 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
2733 2736 too big).
2734 2737
2735 2738 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2736 2739
2737 2740 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
2738 2741 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
2739 2742 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
2740 2743 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
2741 2744
2742 2745 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2743 2746
2744 2747 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
2745 2748 macros having broken.
2746 2749
2747 2750 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2748 2751
2749 2752 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
2750 2753 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
2751 2754 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
2752 2755 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
2753 2756 not to lists.
2754 2757
2755 2758 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2756 2759
2757 2760 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
2758 2761 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
2759 2762 classes needs some serious overhauling.
2760 2763
2761 2764 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
2762 2765 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
2763 2766
2764 2767 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
2765 2768 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
2766 2769 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
2767 2770
2768 2771 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
2769 2772 triple-quoted strings.
2770 2773
2771 2774 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
2772 2775 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
2773 2776 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
2774 2777 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
2775 2778 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
2776 2779 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
2777 2780
2778 2781 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2779 2782
2780 2783 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
2781 2784 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
2782 2785 ultraTB).
2783 2786
2784 2787 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2785 2788
2786 2789 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
2787 2790 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
2788 2791 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
2789 2792 user's 'g' variables).
2790 2793
2791 2794 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
2792 2795 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
2793 2796 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
2794 2797 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
2795 2798 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
2796 2799 macros.
2797 2800
2798 2801 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2799 2802
2800 2803 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
2801 2804 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
2802 2805
2803 2806 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
2804 2807 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
2805 2808 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
2806 2809
2807 2810 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2808 2811
2809 2812 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
2810 2813 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
2811 2814 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
2812 2815 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
2813 2816 aliases.
2814 2817
2815 2818 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2816 2819
2817 2820 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
2818 2821 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
2819 2822 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
2820 2823 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
2821 2824
2822 2825 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2823 2826
2824 2827 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
2825 2828 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
2826 2829 user-defined functions overrode them.
2827 2830
2828 2831 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2829 2832
2830 2833 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
2831 2834 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
2832 2835
2833 2836 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2834 2837
2835 2838 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
2836 2839 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
2837 2840 IPython.
2838 2841
2839 2842 * Released 0.2.13
2840 2843
2841 2844 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
2842 2845 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
2843 2846 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
2844 2847 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
2845 2848
2846 2849 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2847 2850
2848 2851 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
2849 2852 magic properly formatted for screen.
2850 2853
2851 2854 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
2852 2855 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
2853 2856
2854 2857 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
2855 2858 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
2856 2859 etc.)
2857 2860
2858 2861 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2859 2862
2860 2863 * Released 0.2.12
2861 2864
2862 2865 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2863 2866
2864 2867 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
2865 2868 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
2866 2869 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
2867 2870 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
2868 2871 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
2869 2872 an alias to @run -i.
2870 2873
2871 2874 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
2872 2875 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
2873 2876
2874 2877 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
2875 2878
2876 2879 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
2877 2880 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
2878 2881 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
2879 2882
2880 2883 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
2881 2884 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
2882 2885 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
2883 2886 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
2884 2887 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
2885 2888 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
2886 2889 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
2887 2890
2888 2891 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2889 2892
2890 2893 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
2891 2894 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
2892 2895 printed).
2893 2896
2894 2897 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
2895 2898 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
2896 2899 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
2897 2900
2898 2901 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
2899 2902 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
2900 2903
2901 2904 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
2902 2905 handle magic commands in them.
2903 2906 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
2904 2907 ~/mylog' now works.
2905 2908
2906 2909 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
2907 2910 '/' would be completed as magic names.
2908 2911
2909 2912 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2910 2913
2911 2914 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
2912 2915 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
2913 2916
2914 2917 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
2915 2918 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
2916 2919 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
2917 2920 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
2918 2921 variables are in the context of an exception.
2919 2922 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
2920 2923 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
2921 2924
2922 2925 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
2923 2926 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
2924 2927
2925 2928 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2926 2929
2927 2930 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
2928 2931 magics can parse options easier.
2929 2932 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
2930 2933 suggested by Chris Hart.
2931 2934 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
2932 2935 directory actually is in history.
2933 2936
2934 2937 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
2935 2938 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
2936 2939 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
2937 2940
2938 2941 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
2939 2942 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
2940 2943 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
2941 2944 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
2942 2945
2943 2946 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2944 2947
2945 2948 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
2946 2949 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
2947 2950
2948 2951 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
2949 2952 text (was a bug).
2950 2953
2951 2954 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2952 2955
2953 2956 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
2954 2957 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
2955 2958 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
2956 2959
2957 2960 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2958 2961
2959 2962 * Released 0.2.10
2960 2963
2961 2964 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
2962 2965
2963 2966 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
2964 2967 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
2965 2968
2966 2969 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2967 2970
2968 2971 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
2969 2972 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
2970 2973
2971 2974 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2972 2975
2973 2976 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
2974 2977 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
2975 2978 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
2976 2979 __init__.py)
2977 2980
2978 2981 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2979 2982
2980 2983 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
2981 2984 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
2982 2985 test for being inside IPython.
2983 2986
2984 2987 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
2985 2988 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
2986 2989 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
2987 2990 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
2988 2991
2989 2992 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2990 2993
2991 2994 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
2992 2995 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
2993 2996 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
2994 2997
2995 2998 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
2996 2999 embedding example to standard user directory for
2997 3000 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
2998 3001
2999 3002 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
3000 3003 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
3001 3004 hidden global).
3002 3005
3003 3006 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
3004 3007 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
3005 3008 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
3006 3009 case.
3007 3010
3008 3011 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3009 3012
3010 3013 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
3011 3014 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
3012 3015 start.
3013 3016
3014 3017 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
3015 3018 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
3016 3019 Numeric or math.
3017 3020
3018 3021 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
3019 3022 provided profiles. Now we have:
3020 3023 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
3021 3024 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
3022 3025 -physics -> same as before
3023 3026
3024 3027 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
3025 3028 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
3026 3029 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
3027 3030 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
3028 3031 string adds).
3029 3032
3030 3033 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
3031 3034 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
3032 3035 line with the gnuplot code).
3033 3036
3034 3037 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3035 3038
3036 3039 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
3037 3040 all included files change.
3038 3041
3039 3042 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
3040 3043 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
3041 3044
3042 3045 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
3043 3046 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
3044 3047 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
3045 3048
3046 3049 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
3047 3050 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
3048 3051
3049 3052 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
3050 3053 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
3051 3054
3052 3055 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
3053 3056 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
3054 3057 now accessible.
3055 3058
3056 3059 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
3057 3060 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
3058 3061 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
3059 3062 removed.
3060 3063 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
3061 3064 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
3062 3065 don't crash.
3063 3066 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
3064 3067 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
3065 3068 remains available.
3066 3069
3067 3070 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3068 3071
3069 3072 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
3070 3073
3071 3074 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3072 3075
3073 3076 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
3074 3077 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
3075 3078 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
3076 3079 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
3077 3080
3078 3081 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3079 3082
3080 3083 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
3081 3084 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
3082 3085 sync with the output counter.
3083 3086
3084 3087 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
3085 3088 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
3086 3089
3087 3090 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3088 3091
3089 3092 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
3090 3093 readline, fix it back after each call.
3091 3094
3092 3095 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
3093 3096 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
3094 3097 traceback references are properly deleted.
3095 3098
3096 3099 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
3097 3100 improve printing when pprint is in use.
3098 3101
3099 3102 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3100 3103
3101 3104 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
3102 3105 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
3103 3106 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
3104 3107 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
3105 3108 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
3106 3109 to catch SystemExit).
3107 3110
3108 3111 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
3109 3112 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
3110 3113 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
3111 3114 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
3112 3115 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
3113 3116 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
3114 3117
3115 3118 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3116 3119
3117 3120 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
3118 3121 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
3119 3122 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
3120 3123
3121 3124 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
3122 3125 configurable (it should have always been so).
3123 3126
3124 3127 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3125 3128
3126 3129 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
3127 3130 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
3128 3131 done in a more elegant way.
3129 3132
3130 3133 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3131 3134
3132 3135 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
3133 3136 win9x also.
3134 3137
3135 3138 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3136 3139
3137 3140 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
3138 3141 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
3139 3142
3140 3143 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3141 3144
3142 3145 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
3143 3146
3144 3147 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
3145 3148 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
3146 3149
3147 3150 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
3148 3151 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
3149 3152
3150 3153 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
3151 3154 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
3152 3155
3153 3156 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
3154 3157 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
3155 3158
3156 3159 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3157 3160
3158 3161 * Released 0.2.8
3159 3162
3160 3163 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
3161 3164 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
3162 3165 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
3163 3166 on' so that the first tab completes.
3164 3167 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
3165 3168 quotes breaking many magic commands.
3166 3169
3167 3170 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
3168 3171 installation.
3169 3172
3170 3173 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
3171 3174 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
3172 3175
3173 3176 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3174 3177
3175 3178 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
3176 3179 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
3177 3180 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
3178 3181
3179 3182 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
3180 3183 setting __name__=='__main__'.
3181 3184
3182 3185 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
3183 3186 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
3184 3187 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
3185 3188 suggestion.
3186 3189
3187 3190 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
3188 3191 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
3189 3192 Baecker for pointing this to me.
3190 3193
3191 3194 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
3192 3195 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
3193 3196
3194 3197 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3195 3198
3196 3199 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
3197 3200 which properly handles things for windows users.

3199 3202 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3200 3203
3201 3204 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
3202 3205 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
3203 3206 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
3204 3207 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
3205 3208 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
3206 3209
3207 3210 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
3208 3211
3209 3212 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3210 3213
3211 3214 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
3212 3215 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
3213 3216
3214 3217 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3215 3218
3216 3219 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
3217 3220 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
3218 3221 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
3219 3222 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
3220 3223 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
3221 3224 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
3222 3225
3223 3226 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3224 3227
3225 3228 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
3226 3229 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
3227 3230
3228 3231 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
3229 3232 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
3230 3233 cache at 20 values.
3231 3234
3232 3235 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
3233 3236 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
3234 3237 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
3235 3238 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
3236 3239
3237 3240 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
3238 3241 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
3239 3242 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
3240 3243 'file show').
3241 3244
3242 3245 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
3243 3246 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
3244 3247
3245 3248 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
3246 3249 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
3247 3250 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
3248 3251
3249 3252 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
3250 3253 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
3251 3254 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
3252 3255 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
3253 3256
3254 3257 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
3255 3258 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
3256 3259 the prompt strings.
3257 3260
3258 3261 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3259 3262
3260 3263 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
3261 3264 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
3262 3265
3263 3266 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
3264 3267 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
3265 3268 either globally or at each call.
3266 3269
3267 3270 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
3268 3271 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
3269 3272 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
3270 3273 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
3271 3274
3272 3275 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3273 3276
3274 3277 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
3275 3278 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
3276 3279
3277 3280 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
3278 3281
3279 3282 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
3280 3283 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
3281 3284 learning some lisp...
3282 3285
3283 3286 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3287
3285 3288 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
3286 3289 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
3287 3290 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
3288 3291 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
3289 3292
3290 3293 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
3291 3294 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
3292 3295 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
3293 3296
3294 3297 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3298
3296 3299 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
3297 3300 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
3298 3301 control to emacs users.
3299 3302
3300 3303 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
3301 3304 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
3302 3305 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
3303 3306 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
3304 3307 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
3305 3308 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
3306 3309
3307 3310 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3308 3311
3309 3312 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
3310 3313
3311 3314 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
3312 3315 @logstate magic was created.
3313 3316
3314 3317 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
3315 3318 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
3316 3319
3317 3320 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3318 3321
3319 3322 * Released 0.2.6.
3320 3323
3321 3324 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
3322 3325 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
3323 3326
3324 3327 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
3325 3328 SciPy.
3326 3329
3327 3330 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
3328 3331 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
3329 3332 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
3330 3333 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
3331 3334 the section on embedding and the example file.
3332 3335
3333 3336 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
3334 3337 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
3335 3338 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
3336 3339
3337 3340 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
3338 3341 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
3339 3342 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
3340 3343
3341 3344 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
3342 3345 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
3343 3346 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
3344 3347 for this to work.
3345 3348
3346 3349 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3350
3348 3351 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
3349 3352 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
3350 3353 well inside Emacs buffers.
3351 3354 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
3352 3355 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
3353 3356 same bug in iplib.
3354 3357
3355 3358 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3356 3359
3357 3360 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
3358 3361 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
3359 3362
3360 3363 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
3361 3364 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
3362 3365 and keeps PyChecker happy).
3363 3366
3364 3367 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
3365 3368 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
3366 3369 display is done.
3367 3370
3368 3371 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
3369 3372 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
3370 3373
3371 3374 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
3372 3375 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
3373 3376 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
3374 3377 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
3375 3378 like in Octave.
3376 3379
3377 3380 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
3378 3381 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
3379 3382
3380 3383 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3384
3382 3385 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
3383 3386 whole file a little.
3384 3387
3385 3388 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
3386 3389 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
3387 3390 end-user distro.
3388 3391
3389 3392 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
3390 3393 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
3391 3394 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
3392 3395
3393 3396 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
3394 3397 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
3395 3398
3396 3399 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
3397 3400 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
3398 3401 for @file.
3399 3402
3400 3403 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
3401 3404 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
3402 3405 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
3403 3406 the code a bit easier.
3404 3407
3405 3408 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
3406 3409 information to crash reports.
3407 3410
3408 3411 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3409 3412
3410 3413 * Released 0.2.5.
3411 3414
3412 3415 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3413 3416
3414 3417 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
3415 3418 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
3416 3419 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
3417 3420
3418 3421 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3419 3422
3420 3423 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
3421 3424 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
3422 3425 have thigs work as expected.
3423 3426
3424 3427 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
3425 3428 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
3426 3429 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
3427 3430 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
3428 3431 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
3429 3432
3430 3433 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
3431 3434 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
3432 3435
3433 3436 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3434 3437
3435 3438 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
3436 3439 user config files with os-native line-endings.
3437 3440
3438 3441 * README and manual updates.
3439 3442
3440 3443 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
3441 3444 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
3442 3445
3443 3446 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
3444 3447 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
3445 3448
3446 3449 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
3447 3450 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
3448 3451 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
3449 3452 extension-less files.
3450 3453
3451 3454 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
3452 3455 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
3453 3456 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
3454 3457
3455 3458 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
3456 3459 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
3457 3460
3458 3461 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
3459 3462 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
3460 3463 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
3461 3464 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
3462 3465 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
3463 3466 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
3464 3467 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
3465 3468 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
3466 3469 least make manually a shortcut.
3467 3470
3468 3471 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
3469 3472 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
3470 3473 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
3471 3474 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
3472 3475 runtime, with @colors.
3473 3476 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
3474 3477 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
3475 3478
3476 3479 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3477 3480
3478 3481 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
3479 3482 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
3480 3483 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
3481 3484 read the startup info.
3482 3485
3483 3486 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3484 3487
3485 3488 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
3486 3489 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
3487 3490 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
3488 3491 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
3489 3492 type the better off we are.
3490 3493 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
3491 3494 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
3492 3495 before.
3493 3496
3494 3497 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3495 3498
3496 3499 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
3497 3500 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
3498 3501 this later.
3499 3502
3500 3503 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3501 3504
3502 3505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
3503 3506 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
3504 3507 (they can be triggered by imported code).
3505 3508
3506 3509 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3507 3510
3508 3511 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
3509 3512 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
3510 3513 spitting out only offset information as before.
3511 3514 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
3512 3515 programs with command line args inside IPython.
3513 3516
3514 3517 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3518
3516 3519 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
3517 3520 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
3518 3521 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
3519 3522 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
3520 3523 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
3521 3524 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
3522 3525 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
3523 3526 macros.
3524 3527
3525 3528 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3526 3529
3527 3530 * Released 0.2.4.
3528 3531
3529 3532 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
3530 3533 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
3531 3534 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
3532 3535 re-execution.
3533 3536
3534 3537 * Updated manual with recent changes.
3535 3538
3536 3539 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
3537 3540 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
3538 3541 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
3539 3542 documented, of course :)
3540 3543 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
3541 3544 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
3542 3545 __call__ info for callable object instances.
3543 3546
3544 3547 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3545 3548
3546 3549 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
3547 3550 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
3548 3551 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
3549 3552
3550 3553 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3551 3554
3552 3555 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
3553 3556 so I wanted an updated release).
3554 3557
3555 3558 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3556 3559
3557 3560 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
3558 3561 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
3559 3562 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
3560 3563 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
3561 3564 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.

3563 3566 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3564 3567
3565 3568 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
3566 3569 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
3567 3570
3568 3571 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3569 3572
3570 3573 * Released 0.2.2.
3571 3574
3572 3575 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
3573 3576 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
3574 3577 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
3575 3578 versions.
3576 3579
3577 3580 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
3578 3581 (MayaVi author).
3579 3582
3580 3583 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3584
3582 3585 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
3583 3586 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
3584 3587 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
3585 3588 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
3586 3589 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
3587 3590
3588 3591 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
3589 3592 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
3590 3593
3591 3594 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3595
3593 3596 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
3594 3597 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
3595 3598 nice, full-blown manual.
3596 3599
3597 3600 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
3598 3601 trivially simple for end-users.
3599 3602
3600 3603 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3601 3604
3602 3605 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
3603 3606 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
3604 3607
3605 3608 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
3606 3609 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
3607 3610
3608 3611 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3609 3612
3610 3613 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
3611 3614 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
3612 3615 people to later upgrade versions.
3613 3616
3614 3617 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
3615 3618 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
3616 3619 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
3617 3620 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
3618 3621 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
3619 3622 SystemExit).
3620 3623
3621 3624 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
3622 3625 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
3623 3626 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
3624 3627 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
3625 3628 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
3626 3629
3627 3630 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
3628 3631 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
3629 3632 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
3630 3633
3631 3634 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3632 3635
3633 3636 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
3634 3637 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
3635 3638
3636 3639 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
3637 3640 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
3638 3641 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
3639 3642 html docs out of it will be found).
3640 3643
3641 3644 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
3642 3645
3643 3646 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
3644 3647 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
3645 3648
3646 3649 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
3647 3650
3648 3651 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
3649 3652 visiting any directory in _dh.
3650 3653
3651 3654 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
3652 3655 it out with numbers.
3653 3656
3654 3657 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3655 3658
3656 3659 * Released 0.1.22
3657 3660
3658 3661 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
3659 3662 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
3660 3663
3661 3664 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
3662 3665 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
3663 3666 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
3664 3667 screen the necessary mail command.
3665 3668
3666 3669 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
3667 3670 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
3668 3671 guess we should at least give them something readable.
3669 3672
3670 3673 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3671 3674
3672 3675 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
3673 3676 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
3674 3677 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
3675 3678 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
3676 3679 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
3677 3680 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
3678 3681 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
3679 3682 its name).
3680 3683
3681 3684 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
3682 3685 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
3683 3686 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
3684 3687 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
3685 3688
3686 3689 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3687 3690
3688 3691 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
3689 3692 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
3690 3693
3691 3694 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
3692 3695 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
3693 3696
3694 3697 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
3695 3698 completion of @-starting lines.
3696 3699
3697 3700 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
3698 3701 info that other files can read from.
3699 3702
3700 3703 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
3701 3704 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
3702 3705 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
3703 3706 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
3704 3707 restores produce less errors.
3705 3708
3706 3709 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
3707 3710 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
3708 3711 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
3709 3712 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
3710 3713 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
3711 3714
3712 3715 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
3713 3716 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
3714 3717 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
3715 3718 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
3716 3719 with this, finally...
3717 3720
3718 3721 * Small documentation updates.
3719 3722
3720 3723 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
3721 3724 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
3722 3725 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
3723 3726
3724 3727 * File renaming:
3725 3728 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
3726 3729 ipplib --> iplib
3727 3730 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
3728 3731
3729 3732 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
3730 3733 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
3731 3734 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
3732 3735
3733 3736 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
3734 3737 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
3735 3738 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
3736 3739
3737 3740 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3738 3741
3739 3742 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
3740 3743 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
3741 3744 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
3742 3745 the ad-hoc mess we had).
3743 3746
3744 3747 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
3745 3748 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
3746 3749 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
3747 3750
3748 3751 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
3749 3752 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
3750 3753 road.
3751 3754
3752 3755 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
3753 3756 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
3754 3757 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
3755 3758 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
3756 3759
3757 3760 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3761
3759 3762 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
3760 3763 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
3761 3764 file accordingly.
3762 3765
3763 3766 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
3764 3767 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
3765 3768 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
3766 3769 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
3767 3770 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
3768 3771 separators and proper padding and justification.
3769 3772
3770 3773 * Released 0.1.20
3771 3774
3772 3775 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
3773 3776 copy operation was missing).
3774 3777
3775 3778 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
3776 3779 its output is always quite long.
3777 3780
3778 3781 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
3779 3782 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
3780 3783 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
3781 3784 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
3782 3785
3783 3786 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
3784 3787 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
3785 3788 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
3786 3789 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
3787 3790
3788 3791 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3789 3792
3790 3793 * Released 0.1.19
3791 3794
3792 3795 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
3793 3796 easier to copy/paste code this way.
3794 3797
3795 3798 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
3796 3799 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
3797 3800 comment on 'macros').
3798 3801
3799 3802 * Small fixes and doc updates.
3800 3803
3801 3804 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
3802 3805 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
3803 3806 statements and takes parameters.
3804 3807
3805 3808 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3806 3809
3807 3810 * Version 0.1.18 released.
3808 3811
3809 3812 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
3810 3813
3811 3814 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
3812 3815 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
3813 3816
3814 3817 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
3815 3818 ipythonrc-* samples.
3816 3819
3817 3820 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
3818 3821 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
3819 3822
3820 3823 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
3821 3824 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
3822 3825
3823 3826 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3827
3825 3828 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
3826 3829 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
3827 3830 convention.
3828 3831
3829 3832 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
3830 3833 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
3831 3834
3832 3835 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
3833 3836
3834 3837 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
3835 3838 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
3836 3839
3837 3840 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
3838 3841 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
3839 3842 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
3840 3843 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
3841 3844 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
3842 3845 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
3843 3846 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
3844 3847 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
3845 3848 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
3846 3849 works.
3847 3850
3848 3851 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3849 3852
3850 3853 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
3851 3854 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
3852 3855 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
3853 3856 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
3854 3857 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
3855 3858 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
3856 3859 all the editors, less does that.
3857 3860
3858 3861 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
3859 3862
3860 3863 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
3861 3864 crash IPython.
3862 3865
3863 3866 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3864 3867
3865 3868 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
3866 3869
3867 3870 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
3868 3871 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
3869 3872 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
3870 3873 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
3871 3874 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
3872 3875 work in _ofind.
3873 3876
3874 3877 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
3875 3878 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
3876 3879 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
3877 3880 (famous last words).
3878 3881
3879 3882 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
3880 3883 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
3881 3884 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
3882 3885 windows).
3883 3886
3884 3887 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
3885 3888 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
3886 3889
3887 3890 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
3888 3891 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
3889 3892 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
3890 3893 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
3891 3894
3892 3895 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
3893 3896 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
3894 3897 licences and announce it.
3895 3898
3896 3899 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
3897 3900 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
3898 3901 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
3899 3902 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
3900 3903
3901 3904 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3902 3905
3903 3906 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
3904 3907 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
3905 3908 lists.
3906 3909
3907 3910 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
3908 3911 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
3909 3912 are ok.
3910 3913
3911 3914 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
3912 3915 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
3913 3916
3914 3917 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
3915 3918 this to Nathan.
3916 3919
3917 3920 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
3918 3921
3919 3922 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
3920 3923 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
3921 3924 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
3922 3925
3923 3926 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
3924 3927 accepted). Cleaner.
3925 3928
3926 3929 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
3927 3930 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
3928 3931 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
3929 3932 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
3930 3933 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
3931 3934
3932 3935 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
3933 3936
3934 3937 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
3935 3938 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
3936 3939 history after a log replay.
3937 3940
3938 3941 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
3939 3942 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
3940 3943 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
3941 3944 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
3942 3945 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
3943 3946 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
3944 3947
3945 3948 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
3946 3949 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
3947 3950 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
3948 3951 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
3949 3952 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
3950 3953
3951 3954 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
3952 3955
3953 3956 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
3954 3957 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
3955 3958 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
3956 3959 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
3957 3960 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
3958 3961 one: cache_size.
3959 3962
3960 3963 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
3961 3964 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
3962 3965 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
3963 3966 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
3964 3967
3965 3968 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
3966 3969 @ or not).
3967 3970
3968 3971 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
3969 3972 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
3970 3973 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
3971 3974 about licensing).
3972 3975
3973 3976 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3974 3977
3975 3978 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
3976 3979 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
3977 3980
3978 3981 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
3979 3982 screen size for page() operations.
3980 3983
3981 3984 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
3982 3985 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
3983 3986 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
3984 3987 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
3985 3988
3986 3989 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
3987 3990 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
3988 3991 option name tables are clearer.
3989 3992
3990 3993 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
3991 3994 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
3992 3995 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
3993 3996 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
3994 3997 was also changed a little to align better.
3995 3998
3996 3999 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
3997 4000 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
3998 4001
3999 4002 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
4000 4003 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
4001 4004 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
4002 4005
4003 4006 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
4004 4007 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
4005 4008 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
4006 4009 he needs it.
4007 4010
4008 4011 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
4009 4012
4010 4013 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
4011 4014 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
4012 4015 warning on it.
4013 4016
4014 4017 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
4015 4018 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
4016 4019 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
4017 4020 was too long).
4018 4021
4019 4022 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
4020 4023 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
4021 4024 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
4022 4025
4023 4026 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
4024 4027 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
4025 4028 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
4026 4029 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
4027 4030 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
4028 4031 function for the same task.
4029 4032
4030 4033 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4034
4032 4035 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
4033 4036
4034 4037 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
4035 4038 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
4036 4039 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
4037 4040
4038 4041 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
4039 4042 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
4040 4043 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
4041 4044
4042 4045 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
4043 4046 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
4044 4047 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
4045 4048
4046 4049 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4050
4048 4051 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
4049 4052
4050 4053 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
4051 4054 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
4052 4055 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
4053 4056
4054 4057 * Made prompt separators configurable.
4055 4058
4056 4059 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4057 4060
4058 4061 * Small bugfixes in many places.
4059 4062
4060 4063 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
4061 4064 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
4062 4065 maintain.
4063 4066
4064 4067 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
4065 4068 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
4066 4069 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
4067 4070 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
4068 4071 compiled and startup is much faster.
4069 4072
4070 4073 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
4071 4074 while without messing too much more with the code.
4072 4075
4073 4076 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4074 4077
4075 4078 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
4076 4079
4077 4080 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
4078 4081 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
4079 4082 *a lot* easier in some cases.
4080 4083
4081 4084 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
4082 4085 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
4083 4086
4084 4087 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
4085 4088 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
4086 4089 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
4087 4090 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
4088 4091 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
4089 4092 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
4090 4093
4091 4094 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
4092 4095 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
4093 4096
4094 4097 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
4095 4098 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
4096 4099
4097 4100 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
4098 4101 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
4099 4102 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
4100 4103 excessive.
4101 4104
4102 4105 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
4103 4106 types (only first word was displayed).
4104 4107
4105 4108 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4106 4109
4107 4110 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
4108 4111
4109 4112 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
4110 4113 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
4111 4114 travel along many directories.
4112 4115
4113 4116 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
4114 4117 arguments with default values.
4115 4118
4116 4119 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4117 4120
4118 4121 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
4119 4122 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
4120 4123
4121 4124 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
4122 4125
4123 4126 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
4124 4127 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
4125 4128 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
4126 4129
4127 4130 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4128 4131
4129 4132 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
4130 4133 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
4131 4134 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
4132 4135 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
4133 4136 from the outside and implement extensions for special
4134 4137 purposes.
4135 4138
4136 4139 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
4137 4140 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
4138 4141 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
4139 4142 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
4140 4143 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
4141 4144 one can simply say
4142 4145 a = 4.2 m/s**2
4143 4146 or even
4144 4147 a = 4.2 m/s^2
4145 4148
4146 4149 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
4147 4150 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
4148 4151 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
4149 4152
4150 4153 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
4151 4154 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
4152 4155 they were defined in
4153 4156
4154 4157 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
4155 4158
4156 4159 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
4157 4160 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
4158 4161 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
4159 4162 these to show the same information.
4160 4163
4161 4164 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
4162 4165
4163 4166 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
4164 4167 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
4165 4168 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
4166 4169 backtracked on the whole class!)
4167 4170
4168 4171 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
4169 4172 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
4170 4173 everything works as before).
4171 4174
4172 4175 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
4173 4176 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
4174 4177 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
4175 4178 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
4176 4179
4177 4180 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4178 4181
4179 4182 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
4180 4183
4181 4184 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
4182 4185 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
4183 4186
4184 4187 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
4185 4188 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
4186 4189 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
4187 4190 this later.
4188 4191
4189 4192 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
4190 4193
4191 4194 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
4192 4195 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
4193 4196 line option.
4194 4197
4195 4198 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
4196 4199 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
4197 4200 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
4198 4201 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
4199 4202 didn't return a result).
4200 4203
4201 4204 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
4202 4205
4203 4206 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
4204 4207
4205 4208 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
4206 4209 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
4207 4210 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
4208 4211 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
4209 4212
4210 4213 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4214
4212 4215 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
4213 4216
4214 4217 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
4215 4218 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
4216 4219
4217 4220 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
4218 4221 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
4219 4222 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
4220 4223 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
4221 4224 in with the next entry:
4222 4225
4223 4226 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
4224 4227 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
4225 4228 handling.
4226 4229
4227 4230 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
4228 4231 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
4229 4232 namespace protection and documentation.
4230 4233
4231 4234 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4232 4235
4233 4236 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
4234 4237 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
4235 4238
4236 4239 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
4237 4240
4238 4241 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4242
4240 4243 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
4241 4244
4242 4245 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
4243 4246 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
4244 4247 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
4245 4248 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
4246 4249 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
4247 4250
4248 4251 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
4249 4252 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
4250 4253 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
4251 4254
4252 4255 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
4253 4256
4254 4257 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
4255 4258 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
4256 4259
4257 4260 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4261
4259 4262 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
4260 4263
4261 4264 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
4262 4265 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
4263 4266 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
4264 4267 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
4265 4268 ScientificPython.
4266 4269
4267 4270 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4268 4271
4269 4272 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
4270 4273 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
4271 4274 when called with no args.
4272 4275
4273 4276 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
4274 4277 closely.
4275 4278
4276 4279 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
4277 4280 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
4278 4281 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
4279 4282 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
4280 4283 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
4281 4284
4282 4285 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4283 4286
4284 4287 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
4285 4288 customizations there and access them via import.
4286 4289
4287 4290 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4291
4289 4292 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
4290 4293
4291 4294 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
4292 4295 Nathan and Janko.
4293 4296
4294 4297 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
4295 4298
4296 4299 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
4297 4300 too long.
4298 4301
4299 4302 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
4300 4303
4301 4304 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
4302 4305 ?sin and sin?
4303 4306 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
4304 4307 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
4305 4308 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
4306 4309 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
4307 4310
4308 4311 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4312
4310 4313 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
4311 4314
4312 4315 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
4313 4316 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
4314 4317
4315 4318 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
4316 4319 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
4317 4320 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
4318 4321 me).
4319 4322
4320 4323 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
4321 4324 protected (reasonably).
4322 4325
4323 4326 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
4324 4327 note through it (it was too long).
4325 4328
4326 4329 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
4327 4330 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
4328 4331 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
4329 4332 parameters.

4333 4336
4334 4337 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
4335 4338 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
4336 4339 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
4337 4340
4338 4341 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
4339 4342 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
4340 4343 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
4341 4344
4342 4345 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
4343 4346
4344 4347 Changes to InteractiveShell:
4345 4348
4346 4349 - Made the usage message a parameter.
4347 4350
4348 4351 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
4349 4352 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwire in the
4350 4353 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
4351 4354 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
4352 4355 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
4353 4356 break.
4354 4357
4355 4358 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
4356 4359 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
4357 4360 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
4358 4361 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
4359 4362 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
4360 4363 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
4361 4364
4362 4365 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
4363 4366 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
4364 4367 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
4365 4368 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
4366 4369 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
4367 4370 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
4368 4371 *everythin* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
4369 4372 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
4370 4373 trick.
4371 4374
4372 4375 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
4373 4376 session restoring.
4374 4377
4375 4378 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
4376 4379 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
4377 4380 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
4378 4381 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
4379 4382 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
4380 4383
4381 4384 * Started ChangeLog.
