|
25 | 25 | IPython 8.0 is bringing a number of new features and improvements to both the |
|
26 | 26 | user of the terminal and of the kernel via Jupyter. The removal of compatibility |
|
27 | 27 | with older version of Python is also the opportunity to do a couple of |
|
28 | 28 | performance improvement in particular with respect to startup time. |
|
29 | 29 | |
|
30 | 30 | The main change in IPython 8.0 is the integration of the ``stack_data`` package; |
|
31 | 31 | which provide smarter information in traceback; in particular it will highlight |
|
32 | 32 | the AST node where an error occurs which can help to quickly narrow down errors. |
|
33 | 33 | |
|
34 | 34 | For example in the following snippet:: |
|
35 | 35 | |
|
36 | 36 | def foo(i): |
|
37 | 37 | x = [[[0]]] |
|
38 | 38 | return x[0][i][0] |
|
39 | 39 | |
|
40 | 40 | |
|
41 | 41 | def bar(): |
|
42 | 42 | return foo(0) + foo( |
|
43 | 43 | 1 |
|
44 | 44 | ) + foo(2) |
|
45 | 45 | |
|
46 | 46 | |
|
47 | 47 | Calling ``bar()`` would raise an ``IndexError`` on the return line of ``foo``, |
|
48 | 48 | IPython 8.0 is capable of telling you, where the index error occurs:: |
|
49 | 49 | |
|
50 | 50 | return x[0][i][0] |
|
51 | 51 | ^ |
|
52 | 52 | |
|
53 | 53 | To prepare for Python 3.10 we have also started working on removing reliance and |
|
54 | 54 | any dependency that is not Python 3.10 compatible; that include migrating our |
|
55 | 55 | test suite to Pytest, and starting to remove nose. |
|
56 | 56 | |
|
57 | 57 | We are also removing support for Python 3.6 allowing internal code to use more |
|
58 | 58 | efficient ``pathlib``, and make better use of type annotations. |
|
59 | 59 | |
|
60 | 60 | The completer has also seen significant updates and make use of newer Jedi API |
|
61 | 61 | offering faster and more reliable tab completion. |
|
62 | 62 | |
|
63 | 63 | For the terminal users this also enable the auto-suggestion feature, described |
|
64 | 64 | below, which show "ghost text" ahead of your cursor you can accept without |
|
65 | 65 | having to press the tab key or ask the completer to suggest completions. |
|
66 | 66 | |
|
67 | 67 | |
|
68 | 68 | Autosuggestion is a very useful feature available in `fish <https://fishshell.com/>`__, `zsh <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell>`__, and `prompt-toolkit <https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/master/pages/asking_for_input.html#auto-suggestion>`__. |
|
69 | 69 | |
|
70 | 70 | `Ptpython <https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython#ptpython>`__ allows users to enable this feature in |
|
71 | 71 | `ptpython/config.py <https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython/blob/master/examples/ptpython_config/config.py#L90>`__. |
|
72 | 72 | |
|
73 | 73 | This feature allows users to accept autosuggestions with ctrl e, ctrl f, |
|
74 | 74 | or right arrow as described below. |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | 1. Start ipython |
|
77 | 77 | |
|
78 | 78 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_prompt_no_text.png |
|
79 | 79 | |
|
80 | 80 | 2. Run ``print("hello")`` |
|
81 | 81 | |
|
82 | 82 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_print_hello_suggest.png |
|
83 | 83 | |
|
84 | 84 | 3. Press p to see the autosuggestion |
|
85 | 85 | |
|
86 | 86 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_print_hello_suggest.png |
|
87 | 87 | |
|
88 | 88 | 4. Press ctrl f, or ctrl e, or right arrow to accept the suggestion |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_print_hello.png |
|
91 | 91 | |
|
92 | 92 | You can also complete word by word: |
|
93 | 93 | |
|
94 | 94 | 1. Run ``def say_hello(): print("hello")`` |
|
95 | 95 | |
|
96 | 96 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_second_prompt.png |
|
97 | 97 | |
|
98 | 98 | 2. Press d to see the autosuggestion |
|
99 | 99 | |
|
100 | 100 | .. image:: ../_images/audo_suggest_d_phantom.png |
|
101 | 101 | |
|
102 | 102 | 3. Press alt f to accept the first word of the suggestion |
|
103 | 103 | |
|
104 | 104 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_def_phantom.png |
|
105 | 105 | |
|
106 | 106 | Importantly, this feature does not interfere with tab completion: |
|
107 | 107 | |
|
108 | 108 | 1. After running ``def say_hello(): print("hello")``, press d |
|
109 | 109 | |
|
110 | 110 | .. image:: ../_images/audo_suggest_d_phantom.png |
|
111 | 111 | |
|
112 | 112 | 2. Press Tab to start tab completion |
|
113 | 113 | |
|
114 | 114 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_d_completions.png |
|
115 | 115 | |
|
116 | 116 | 3A. Press Tab again to select the first option |
|
117 | 117 | |
|
118 | 118 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_def_completions.png |
|
119 | 119 | |
|
120 | 120 | 3B. Press alt f to accept to accept the first word of the suggestion |
|
121 | 121 | |
|
122 | 122 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_def_phantom.png |
|
123 | 123 | |
|
124 | 124 | 3C. Press ctrl f or ctrl e to accept the entire suggestion |
|
125 | 125 | |
|
126 | 126 | .. image:: ../_images/auto_suggest_match_parens.png |
|
127 | 127 | |
|
128 | 128 | To install a version of ipython with autosuggestions enabled, run: |
|
129 | 129 | |
|
130 | 130 | ``pip install git+https://github.com/mskar/ipython@auto_suggest`` |
|
131 | 131 | |
|
132 | 132 | Currently, autosuggestions are only shown in the emacs or vi insert editing modes: |
|
133 | 133 | |
|
134 | 134 | - The ctrl e, ctrl f, and alt f shortcuts work by default in emacs mode. |
|
135 | 135 | - To use these shortcuts in vi insert mode, you will have to create `custom keybindings in your config.py <https://github.com/mskar/setup/commit/2892fcee46f9f80ef7788f0749edc99daccc52f4/>`__. |

138 | 138 | Show pinfo information in ipdb using "?" and "??" |
|
139 | 139 | ------------------------------------------------- |
|
140 | 140 | |
|
141 | 141 | In IPDB, it is now possible to show the information about an object using "?" |
|
142 | 142 | and "??", in much the same way it can be done when using the IPython prompt:: |
|
143 | 143 | |
|
144 | 144 | ipdb> partial? |
|
145 | 145 | Init signature: partial(self, /, *args, **kwargs) |
|
146 | 146 | Docstring: |
|
147 | 147 | partial(func, *args, **keywords) - new function with partial application |
|
148 | 148 | of the given arguments and keywords. |

|
152 | 152 | |
|
153 | 153 | Previously, "pinfo" or "pinfo2" command had to be used for this purpose. |

|
156 | 156 | Autoreload 3 feature |
|
157 | 157 | ==================== |
|
158 | 158 | |
|
159 | 159 | Example: When an IPython session is ran with the 'autoreload' extension loaded, |
|
160 | 160 | you will now have the option '3' to select which means the following: |
|
161 | 161 | |
|
162 | 162 | 1. replicate all functionality from option 2 |
|
163 | 163 | 2. autoload all new funcs/classes/enums/globals from the module when they're added |
|
164 | 164 | 3. autoload all newly imported funcs/classes/enums/globals from external modules |
|
165 | 165 | |
|
166 | 166 | Try ``%autoreload 3`` in an IPython session after running ``%load_ext autoreload`` |
|
167 | 167 | |
|
168 | 168 | For more information please see unit test - |
|

175 | 175 | As a reminder, IPython master has diverged from the 7.x branch, thus master may |
|
176 | 176 | have more feature and API changes. |
