3 3 ultraTB.py -- Spice up your tracebacks!
4 4
5 5 * ColorTB
6 6 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python. The
7 7 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem. It colors the different parts of a
8 8 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
9 9 text editor.
10 10
11 11 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
12 12 import sys,ultraTB
13 13 sys.excepthook = ultraTB.ColorTB()
14 14
15 15 * VerboseTB
16 16 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
17 17 of useful info when a traceback occurs. Ping originally had it spit out HTML
18 18 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun? I
19 19 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal. It's a bit overwhelming,
20 20 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
21 21 are bug-free. If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
22 22 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
23 23
24 24 Note:
25 25
26 26 The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
27 27 happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
28 28 very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
29 29 representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
30 30 a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
31 31 with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
32 32
33 33 If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
34 34 Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
35 35 variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
36 36 Verbose).
37 37
38 38
39 39 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
40 40 import sys,ultraTB
41 41 sys.excepthook = ultraTB.VerboseTB()
42 42
43 43 Note: Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
44 44 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
45 45
46 46 * Color schemes
47 47 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
48 48 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
49 49
50 50 - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
51 51 escapes are just dummy blank strings).
52 52
53 53 - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
54 54 or very dark background).
55 55
56 56 - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
57 57 in light background terminals.
58 58
59 59 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
60 60 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
61 61 possible inclusion in future releases.

1 7 2007-11-29 *** Released version 0.8.2
2 8
3 9 2007-11-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
4 10
5 11 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstop): add a proper logstop()
6 12 method to fully stop the logger, along with a corresponding
7 13 %logstop magic for interactive use.
8 14
9 15 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_host_completers.py: added new host
10 16 completers functionality, contributed by Gael Pasgrimaud
11 17 <gawel-AT-afpy.org>.
12 18
13 19 2007-11-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
14 20
15 21 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (ArgumentError): Apply patch by Paul Mueller
16 22 <gakusei-AT-dakotacom.net>, to fix deprecated string exceptions in
17 23 options handling. Unicode fix in %whos (committed a while ago)
18 24 was also contributed by Paul.
19 25
20 26 2007-11-23 Darren Dale <darren.dale@cornell.edu>
21 27 * ipy_traits_completer.py: let traits_completer respect the user's
22 28 readline_omit__names setting.
23 29
24 30 2007-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
25 31 * ipy_completers.py (import completer): assume 'xml' module exists.
26 32 Do not add every module twice anymore. Closes #196.
27 33
28 34 * ipy_completers.py, ipy_app_completers.py: Add proper apt-get
29 35 completer that uses apt-cache to search for existing packages.
30 36
31 37 2007-11-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

35 41
36 42 2007-11-01 Brian Granger <ellisonbg@gmail.com>
37 43
38 44 * iplib.py, rlineimpl.py: Applied Body Water's patches to get IPython
39 45 working with OS X 10.5 libedit implementation of readline.
40 46
41 47 2007-10-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
42 48
43 49 * iplib.py(user_setup): To route around buggy installations where
44 50 UserConfig is not available, create a minimal _ipython.
45 51
46 52 * iplib.py: Unicode fixes from Jorgen.
47 53
48 54 * genutils.py: Slist now has new method 'fields()' for extraction of
49 55 whitespace-separated fields from line-oriented data.
50 56
51 57 2007-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
52 58
53 59 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug that could arise
54 60 when querying objects with no __class__ attribute (such as
55 61 f2py-generated modules).
56 62
57 63 2007-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
58 64
59 65 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): track compilation time and report
60 66 it if longer than 0.1s (fix done to %time and %timeit). After a
61 67 SAGE bug report: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/632.
62 68
63 69 2007-09-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
64 70
65 71 * genutils.py(make_quoted_expr): Do not use Itpl, it does
66 72 not support unicode at the moment. Fixes (many) magic calls with
67 73 special characters.
68 74
69 75 2007-09-14 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
70 76
71 77 * IPython/genutils.py (doctest_reload): expose the doctest
72 78 reloader to the user so that people can easily reset doctest while
73 79 using it interactively. Fixes a problem reported by Jorgen.
74 80
75 81 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): protect the
76 82 FakeModule instances used for __main__ in %run calls from
77 83 deletion, so that user code defined in them isn't left with
78 84 dangling references due to the Python module deletion machinery.
79 85 This should fix the problems reported by Darren.
80 86
81 87 2007-09-10 Darren Dale <dd55@cornell.edu>
82 88
83 89 * Cleanup of IPShellQt and IPShellQt4

85 91 2007-09-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
86 92
87 93 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): further fixes for
88 94 doctest support.
89 95
90 96 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): minor docstring improvements.
91 97
92 98 2007-09-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
93 99
94 100 * Magic.py (%pushd, %popd, %dirs): Fix dir stack - push *current*
95 101 directory, not the target directory.
96 102
97 103 * ipapi.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: Add ipapi.UsageError, a lighter weight
98 104 exception that won't print the tracebacks. Switched many magics to
99 105 raise them on error situations, also GetoptError is not printed
100 106 anymore.
101 107
102 108 2007-09-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
103 109
104 110 * iplib.py: do not auto-alias "dir", it screws up other dir auto
105 111 aliases.
106 112
107 113 * genutils.py: SList.grep() implemented.
108 114
109 115 * ipy_editors.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: Add some editors
110 116 for easy "out of the box" setup of several common editors, so that
111 117 e.g. '%edit os.path.isfile' will jump to the correct line
112 118 automatically. Contributions for command lines of your favourite
113 119 editors welcome.
114 120
115 121 2007-09-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
116 122
117 123 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fixed bug that was
118 124 preventing source display in certain cases. In reality I think
119 125 the problem is with Ubuntu's Python build, but this change works
120 126 around the issue in some cases (not in all, unfortunately). I'd
121 127 filed a Python bug on this with more details, but in the change of
122 128 bug trackers it seems to have been lost.
123 129
124 130 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_dhist): restore %dhist. No, cd -TAB is
125 131 not the same, it's not self-documenting, doesn't allow range
126 132 selection, and sorts alphabetically instead of numerically.
127 133 (magic_r): restore %r. No, "up + enter. One char magic" is not
128 134 the same thing, since %r takes parameters to allow fast retrieval
129 135 of old commands. I've received emails from users who use this a
130 136 LOT, so it stays.
131 137 (magic_automagic): restore %automagic. "use _ip.option.automagic"
132 138 is not a valid replacement b/c it doesn't provide an complete
133 139 explanation (which the automagic docstring does).
134 140 (magic_autocall): restore %autocall, with improved docstring.
135 141 Same argument as for others, "use _ip.options.autocall" is not a
136 142 valid replacement.
137 143 (magic_pdef): restore %pdef & friends. Used widely, mentioned in
138 144 tutorials and online docs.
139 145
140 146 2007-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
141 147
142 148 * IPython/usage.py (quick_reference): mention magics in quickref,
143 149 modified main banner to mention %quickref.
144 150
145 151 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule): fixes for doctest compatibility.
146 152
147 153 2007-09-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
148 154
149 155 * ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_workdir.py, ipy_fsops.py, iplib.py:
150 156 Callable aliases now pass the _ip as first arg. This breaks
151 157 compatibility with earlier 0.8.2.svn series! (though they should
152 158 not have been in use yet outside these few extensions)
153 159
154 160 2007-09-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
155 161
156 162 * external/mglob.py: expand('dirname') => ['dirname'], instead
157 163 of ['dirname/foo','dirname/bar', ...].
158 164
159 165 * Extensions/ipy_fsops.py: added, has usefull shell utils for plain
160 166 win32 installations: icp, imv, imkdir, igrep, irm, collect (collect
161 167 is useful for others as well).
162 168
163 169 * iplib.py: on callable aliases (as opposed to old style aliases),
164 170 do var_expand() immediately, and use make_quoted_expr instead
165 171 of hardcoded r"""
166 172
167 173 * Extensions/ipy_profile_sh.py: Try to detect cygwin on win32,
168 174 if not available load ipy_fsops.py for cp, mv, etc. replacements
169 175
170 176 * OInspect.py, ipy_which.py: improve %which and obj? for callable
171 177 aliases
172 178
173 179 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
174 180
175 181 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
176 182 Relicensed under BSD with the authors approval.
177 183
178 184 * ipmaker.py, usage.py: Remove %magic from default banner, improve
179 185 %quickref
180 186
181 187 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
182 188
183 189 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
184 190 allowing IPython syntax.
185 191
186 192 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
187 193
188 194 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
189 195
190 196 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
191 197
192 198 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
193 199
194 200 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
195 201
196 202 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
197 203
198 204 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
199 205 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
200 206 command or running a batch file from command line.
201 207
202 208 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
203 209
204 210 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
205 211 statements
206 212
207 213 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
208 214 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
209 215 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
210 216
211 217 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
212 218 trivial custom completers
213 219
214 220 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
215 221 clearing.
216 222
217 223 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
218 224
219 225 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
220 226 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
221 227 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
222 228
223 229 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
224 230 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
225 231 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.
226 232
227 233 2007-08-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
228 234
229 235 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
230 236 (for backwards compatibility)
231 237
232 238 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
233 239 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
234 240
235 241 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
236 242
237 243 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
238 244 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
239 245 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
240 246
241 247
242 248 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
243 249
244 250 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
245 251
246 252 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
247 253
248 254 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
249 255 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
250 256 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
251 257 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
252 258
253 259 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
254 260
255 261 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
256 262 multiline specials work again
257 263
258 264 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
259 265
260 266 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
261 267 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
262 268
263 269 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
264 270 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
265 271 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
266 272
267 273 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
268 274 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
269 275
270 276 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
271 277
272 278 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
273 279 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
274 280 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
275 281
276 282 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
277 283 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
278 284 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
279 285 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
280 286 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
281 287 correctly set the exit status flag.
282 288
283 289 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
284 290
285 291 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
286 292 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
287 293 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
288 294
289 295 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
290 296
291 297 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
292 298 a string with names.
293 299
294 300 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
295 301
296 302 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
297 303 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
298 304 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
299 305
300 306 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
301 307
302 308 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
303 309 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
304 310 requirements.
305 311
306 312 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
307 313 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
308 314
309 315 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
310 316
311 317 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
312 318 user-visible changes.
313 319
314 320 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
315 321
316 322 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
317 323 before all the config files were handled.
318 324
319 325 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
320 326
321 327 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
322 328 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
323 329
324 330 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
325 331 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
326 332 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
327 333 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
328 334 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
329 335 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
330 336 rerun doctests from existing sources.
331 337
332 338 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
333 339 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
334 340 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
335 341 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
336 342
337 343 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
338 344 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
339 345 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
340 346 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
341 347 from docstrings back into a normal session.
342 348
343 349 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
344 350
345 351 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
346 352 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
347 353 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
348 354 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
349 355 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
350 356 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
351 357 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
352 358 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
353 359 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
354 360 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
355 361 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
356 362
357 363 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
358 364
359 365 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
360 366 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
361 367
362 368 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
363 369
364 370 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
365 371 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
366 372 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
367 373
368 374 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
369 375
370 376 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
371 377 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
372 378 all of their internal attributes all the time.
373 379
374 380 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
375 381 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
376 382 wildcards bugfix.
377 383
378 384 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
379 385 Stefan with Traits.
380 386
381 387 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
382 388 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
383 389 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
384 390
385 391 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
386 392
387 393 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
388 394 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
389 395 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
390 396 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
391 397 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
392 398 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
393 399 automatic ones.
394 400
395 401 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
396 402
397 403 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
398 404 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
399 405 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
400 406 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
401 407 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
402 408 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
403 409
404 410 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
405 411
406 412 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
407 413 classes in various inspector functions.
408 414
409 415 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
410 416
411 417 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
412 418 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
413 419 Use them by:
414 420
415 421 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
416 422
417 423 foo hello world
418 424 (gets translated to:)
419 425 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
420 426
421 427 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
422 428
423 429 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
424 430
425 431 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
426 432
427 433 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
428 434 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
429 435
430 436 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
431 437
432 438 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
433 439 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
434 440 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
435 441 unicode.
436 442
437 443 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
438 444
439 445 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
440 446 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
441 447
442 448 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
443 449
444 450 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
445 451 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
446 452 with %whos.
447 453
448 454 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
449 455
450 456 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
451 457 to db
452 458
453 459 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
454 460 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
455 461 std python)
456 462
457 463 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
458 464
459 465 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
460 466 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
461 467 Stefan van der Walt)
462 468
463 469 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
464 470
465 471 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
466 472 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
467 473 are new-style classes).
468 474
469 475 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
470 476
471 477 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
472 478 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
473 479 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
474 480 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
475 481 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
476 482 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
477 483 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
478 484 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
479 485 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
480 486
481 487 2007-05-29 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
482 488
483 489 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
484 490
485 491 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
486 492 is on a windows network share
487 493
488 494 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
489 495
490 496 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
491 497
492 498 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
493 499
494 500 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
495 501
496 502 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
497 503 function (using simplegeneric.py).
498 504
499 505 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
500 506
501 507 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
502 508
503 509 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
504 510
505 511 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
506 512 like functionality
507 513
508 514 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
509 515
510 516 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
511 517
512 518 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
513 519 browse the IPython input history
514 520
515 521 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
516 522 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
517 523 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
518 524 the cursor.
519 525
520 526 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
521 527
522 528 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
523 529
524 530 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
525 531 moved:
526 532
527 533 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
528 534
529 535 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
530 536 in your ipy_user_conf.py
531 537
532 538 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
533 539 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
534 540 upgrading IPython anymore.
535 541
536 542 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
537 543 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
538 544
539 545 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
540 546 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
541 547 installed as default.
542 548
543 549 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
544 550 handling.
545 551
546 552 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
547 553 input if readline is available.
548 554
549 555 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
550 556
551 557 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
552 558
553 559 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
554 560 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
555 561 no python installation required).
556 562
557 563 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
558 564 its place.
559 565
560 566 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
561 567
562 568 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
563 569
564 570 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
565 571 failure of 'title' system call properly.
566 572
567 573 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
568 574
569 575 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
570 576 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
571 577
572 578 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
573 579
574 580 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
575 581 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
576 582 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
577 583
578 584 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 585
580 586 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
581 587 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
582 588
583 589 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
584 590
585 591 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
586 592 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
587 593
588 594 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
589 595 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
590 596
591 597 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
592 598 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
593 599 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
594 600
595 601 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
596 602
597 603 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
598 604 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
599 605 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
600 606 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
601 607
602 608 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
603 609 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
604 610
605 611 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
606 612
607 613 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
608 614 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
609 615 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
610 616 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
611 617
612 618 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
613 619
614 620 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
615 621
616 622 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
617 623 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
618 624
619 625 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
620 626
621 627 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
622 628
623 629 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
624 630
625 631 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
626 632 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
627 633
628 634 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
629 635
630 636 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
631 637
632 638 * Update version number
633 639
634 640 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
635 641
636 642 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
637 643
638 644 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
639 645 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
640 646 bug discovered by Ville).
641 647
642 648 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
643 649
644 650 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
645 651 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
646 652
647 653 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
648 654
649 655
650 656 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
651 657
652 658 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
653 659 Closes #149.
654 660
655 661 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
656 662 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
657 663 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
658 664
659 665 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
660 666
661 667 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
662 668 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
663 669 allows wildcards.
664 670
665 671 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
666 672 as opposed to returning nothing.
667 673
668 674 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
669 675 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
670 676
671 677 2007-04-22 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
672 678
673 679 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
674 680 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
675 681
676 682 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
677 683
678 684 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
679 685 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
680 686
681 687 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
682 688
683 689 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
684 690 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
685 691 IPython instance.
686 692
687 693 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
688 694
689 695 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
690 696 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
691 697 'Iptl' template notation,
692 698
693 699 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
694 700 safer & faster 'import' completer.
695 701
696 702 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
697 703 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
698 704
699 705 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
700 706 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
701 707 defmacro() etc.)
702 708
703 709 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
704 710
705 711 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
706 712
707 713 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
708 714
709 715 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
710 716
711 717 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
712 718 and later on win32.
713 719
714 720 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
715 721
716 722 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
717 723
718 724 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
719 725
720 726 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
721 727 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
722 728
723 729 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
724 730
725 731 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
726 732
727 733 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
728 734
729 735 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
730 736
731 737 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
732 738
733 739 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
734 740 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
735 741 every %run call.
736 742
737 743 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
738 744 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
739 745 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
740 746
741 747 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
742 748
743 749 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
744 750 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
745 751 Stefan for the fix.
746 752
747 753 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
748 754 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
749 755 him.
750 756
751 757 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
752 758 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
753 759 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
754 760 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
755 761
756 762 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
757 763 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
758 764 each runcode access.
759 765
760 766 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
761 767 message.
762 768
763 769 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
764 770
765 771 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
766 772 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
767 773 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
768 774
769 775 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
770 776 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
771 777 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
772 778 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
773 779 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
774 780 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
775 781 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
776 782 anything up until we know if it actually works.
777 783
778 784 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
779 785 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
780 786 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
781 787 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
782 788 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
783 789
784 790 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
785 791
786 792 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
787 793 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
788 794 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
789 795
790 796 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
791 797
792 798 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
793 799 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
794 800 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
795 801
796 802 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
797 803
798 804 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
799 805 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
800 806 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
801 807 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
802 808 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
803 809
804 810 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
805 811
806 812 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
807 813 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
808 814
809 815 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
810 816 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
811 817 details in comments left in the code.
812 818
813 819 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
814 820 similar to what we had for Numeric.
815 821
816 822 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
817 823 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
818 824 than readline. Closes #109.
819 825
820 826 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
821 827 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
822 828
823 829 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
824 830
825 831 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
826 832 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
827 833 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
828 834 ongoing Unicode support work.
829 835
830 836 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
831 837 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
832 838 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
833 839 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
834 840
835 841 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
836 842
837 843 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
838 844 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
839 845
840 846 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
841 847
842 848 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
843 849 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
844 850 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
845 851
846 852 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
847 853
848 854 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
849 855 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
850 856 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
851 857 long definition lines for functions.
852 858
853 859 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
854 860
855 861 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
856 862 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
857 863 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
858 864 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
859 865
860 866 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
861 867
862 868 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
863 869
864 870 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
865 871
866 872 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
867 873 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
868 874 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
869 875
870 876 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
871 877 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
872 878
873 879 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
874 880 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
875 881
876 882 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
877 883
878 884 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
879 885 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
880 886 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
881 887
882 888 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
883 889
884 890 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
885 891 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
886 892
887 893 2007-03-20 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
888 894 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
889 895 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
890 896 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
891 897 sometimes return "" as last element.
892 898
893 899 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
894 900
895 901 * IPython/completer.py
896 902 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
897 903 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
898 904 would be completed too early.
899 905
900 906 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
901 907 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
902 908 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
903 909 backwards compatibility.
904 910
905 911 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
906 912 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
907 913 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
908 914 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
909 915 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
910 916 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
911 917 also works when debugging.
912 918
913 919 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
914 920 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
915 921
916 922 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
917 923 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
918 924 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
919 925
920 926 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
921 927 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
922 928 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
923 929
924 930 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
925 931 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
926 932
927 933 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
928 934
929 935 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
930 936 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
931 937 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
932 938
933 939 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
934 940
935 941 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
936 942 to be installed alongside igrid.
937 943 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
938 944 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
939 945 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
940 946
941 947 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
942 948
943 949 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
944 950 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
945 951 Jorgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
946 952
947 953 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
948 954
949 955 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
950 956 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
951 957
952 958 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
953 959 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
954 960
955 961 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
956 962
957 963 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
958 964 as the default browser.
959 965 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
960 966 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
961 967 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
962 968 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
963 969
964 970 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
965 971
966 972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
967 973 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
968 974 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
969 975
970 976 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
971 977
972 978 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
973 979 Close help window if exiting igrid.
974 980
975 981 2007-03-02 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
976 982
977 983 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
978 984 before calling functions from readline.
979 985
980 986 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
981 987
982 988 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
983 989 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
984 990 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
985 991 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
986 992 falls back to idump.
987 993
988 994 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
989 995
990 996 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
991 997 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
992 998 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
993 999 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
994 1000
995 1001 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
996 1002
997 1003 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
998 1004 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
999 1005 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
1000 1006 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
1001 1007 %magic with explicit % prefix.
1002 1008
1003 1009 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1004 1010
1005 1011 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
1006 1012 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
1007 1013
1008 1014 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1009 1015
1010 1016 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
1011 1017 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
1012 1018 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
1013 1019 one wants those instead.
1014 1020
1015 1021 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
1016 1022 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
1017 1023 instead.
1018 1024
1019 1025 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1020 1026
1021 1027 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
1022 1028 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
1023 1029 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
1024 1030 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
1025 1031
1026 1032 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1027 1033
1028 1034 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
1029 1035 stop marks.
1030 1036 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
1031 1037 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
1032 1038 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
1033 1039
1034 1040 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1035 1041
1036 1042 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
1037 1043 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
1038 1044 sumbmitted to upstream.
1039 1045
1040 1046 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1041 1047
1042 1048 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
1043 1049 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
1044 1050 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
1045 1051 running into an empty levels list later.
1046 1052
1047 1053 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1048 1054
1049 1055 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
1050 1056 for the noitem object.
1051 1057
1052 1058 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1053 1059
1054 1060 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
1055 1061 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
1056 1062 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
1057 1063 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
1058 1064
1059 1065 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1060 1066
1061 1067 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
1062 1068 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
1063 1069 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
1064 1070 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
1065 1071 filenames.
1066 1072
1067 1073 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
1068 1074 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
1069 1075 out-of-process ipython code.
1070 1076
1071 1077 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
1072 1078 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
1073 1079 doctesting.
1074 1080
1075 1081 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
1076 1082
1077 1083 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1078 1084
1079 1085 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
1080 1086 not being correctly recognized.
1081 1087
1082 1088 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1083 1089
1084 1090 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
1085 1091 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
1086 1092 only item.
1087 1093
1088 1094 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
1089 1095 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
1090 1096 infinite recursion for one line strings).
1091 1097
1092 1098 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1093 1099
1094 1100 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
1095 1101 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
1096 1102 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
1097 1103
1098 1104 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1099 1105
1100 1106 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
1101 1107 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
1102 1108 "%env VISUAL=jed".
1103 1109
1104 1110 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1105 1111
1106 1112 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
1107 1113 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
1108 1114 but I'm not exactly sure why).
1109 1115
1110 1116 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
1111 1117 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
1112 1118
1113 1119 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1114 1120
1115 1121 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
1116 1122 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
1117 1123
1118 1124 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
1119 1125 the time during IPython startup is spent.
1120 1126
1121 1127 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1122 1128
1123 1129 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
1124 1130
1125 1131 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
1126 1132
1127 1133 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
1128 1134
1129 1135 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1130 1136
1131 1137 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
1132 1138 to work properly on posix too
1133 1139
1134 1140 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
1135 1141
1136 1142 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1137 1143
1138 1144 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
1139 1145 prefix + "/scripts".
1140 1146
1141 1147 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
1142 1148
1143 1149 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1144 1150
1145 1151 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
1146 1152 if they already exist
1147 1153
1148 1154 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
1149 1155
1150 1156 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1151 1157
1152 1158 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
1153 1159
1154 1160 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1155 1161
1156 1162 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
1157 1163 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
1158 1164 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
1159 1165
1160 1166 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1161 1167
1162 1168 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
1163 1169 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
1164 1170 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
1165 1171
1166 1172 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
1167 1173 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
1168 1174 in ipy_user_conf.py
1169 1175
1170 1176
1171 1177 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
1172 1178 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
1173 1179 as IPython script.
1174 1180
1175 1181 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1176 1182
1177 1183 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1178 1184
1179 1185 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1180 1186 is called before any exception has occurred.
1181 1187
1182 1188 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1183 1189
1184 1190 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1185 1191 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1186 1192
1187 1193 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1188 1194 backslash.
1189 1195
1190 1196 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1191 1197
1192 1198 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1193 1199
1194 1200 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1195 1201 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1196 1202 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1197 1203
1198 1204 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1199 1205 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1200 1206
1201 1207 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1202 1208 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1203 1209
1204 1210 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1205 1211
1206 1212 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1207 1213
1208 1214 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1209 1215 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1210 1216
1211 1217 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1212 1218 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1213 1219 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1214 1220 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1215 1221 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1216 1222 mapped to "%" now.
1217 1223 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1218 1224
1219 1225 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1220 1226
1221 1227 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1222 1228 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1223 1229 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1224 1230 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1225 1231
1226 1232 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1227 1233
1228 1234 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1229 1235 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1230 1236 for shell escapes.
1231 1237
1232 1238 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1233 1239
1234 1240 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1235 1241 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1236 1242 vcs_completer.
1237 1243
1238 1244 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1239 1245
1240 1246 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1241 1247 directly instead!
1242 1248
1243 1249 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1244 1250
1245 1251 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1246 1252 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1247 1253
1248 1254 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1249 1255 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1250 1256 explicit.
1251 1257
1252 1258 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1253 1259 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1254 1260
1255 1261 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1256 1262
1257 1263 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1258 1264
1259 1265 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1260 1266 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1261 1267 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1262 1268 implementation for Text is useless.
1263 1269
1264 1270 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1265 1271
1266 1272 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1267 1273
1268 1274 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1269 1275
1270 1276 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1271 1277 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1272 1278 "profile"
1273 1279
1274 1280 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1275 1281
1276 1282 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1277 1283 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1278 1284
1279 1285 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1280 1286 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1281 1287
1282 1288
1283 1289 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1284 1290 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1285 1291 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1286 1292
1287 1293 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1288 1294
1289 1295 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1290 1296 with one from UserConfig.
1291 1297
1292 1298 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1293 1299 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1294 1300
1295 1301 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1296 1302 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1297 1303 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1298 1304
1299 1305 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1300 1306
1301 1307 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1302 1308
1303 1309 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1304 1310
1305 1311 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1306 1312
1307 1313 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1308 1314
1309 1315 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1310 1316
1311 1317 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1312 1318
1313 1319 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1314 1320
1315 1321 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1316 1322 by eval of expr with dots.
1317 1323
1318 1324 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1319 1325
1320 1326 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1321 1327 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1322 1328 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1323 1329 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1324 1330 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1325 1331 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1326 1332
1327 1333 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1328 1334
1329 1335 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1330 1336 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1331 1337 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1332 1338
1333 1339 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1334 1340 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1335 1341 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1336 1342 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1337 1343 funtionality in ipconfig.
1338 1344
1339 1345 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1340 1346 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1341 1347 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1342 1348 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1343 1349
1344 1350 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1345 1351
1346 1352 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1347 1353 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1348 1354 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1349 1355 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1350 1356 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1351 1357 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1352 1358 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1353 1359 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1354 1360 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1355 1361 descriptors.
1356 1362
1357 1363 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1358 1364 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1359 1365
1360 1366 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1361 1367 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1362 1368
1363 1369 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1364 1370
1365 1371 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1366 1372
1367 1373 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1368 1374
1369 1375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1370 1376 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1371 1377 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1372 1378
1373 1379 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1374 1380 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1375 1381 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1376 1382
1377 1383 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1378 1384 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1379 1385 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1380 1386 ipy_stock_completers.
1381 1387
1382 1388 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1383 1389
1384 1390 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1385 1391
1386 1392 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1387 1393 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1388 1394 when filtering possible completions.
1389 1395
1390 1396 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1391 1397
1392 1398 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1393 1399 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1394 1400 function
1395 1401
1396 1402
1397 1403 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1398 1404
1399 1405 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1400 1406 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1401 1407 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1402 1408 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1403 1409 SVN completer.
1404 1410
1405 1411 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1406 1412 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1407 1413 name is %led.
1408 1414
1409 1415 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1410 1416
1411 1417 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1412 1418 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1413 1419 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1414 1420
1415 1421 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1416 1422 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1417 1423 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1418 1424 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1419 1425 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1420 1426
1421 1427 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1422 1428
1423 1429 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1424 1430 Numeric leftovers.
1425 1431
1426 1432 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1427 1433 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1428 1434
1429 1435 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1430 1436 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1431 1437
1432 1438 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1433 1439 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1434 1440
1435 1441 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1436 1442 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1437 1443 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1438 1444
1439 1445 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1440 1446
1441 1447 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1442 1448 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1443 1449 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1444 1450
1445 1451 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1446 1452 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1447 1453
1448 1454 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1449 1455
1450 1456 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1451 1457 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1452 1458 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1453 1459
1454 1460 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1455 1461
1456 1462 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1457 1463 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1458 1464 internal crash handler.
1459 1465
1460 1466 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1461 1467 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1462 1468 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1463 1469 at the request of SAGE.
1464 1470
1465 1471 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1466 1472
1467 1473 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1468 1474 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1469 1475
1470 1476 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1471 1477 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1472 1478 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1473 1479 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1474 1480
1475 1481 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1476 1482 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1477 1483 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1478 1484
1479 1485 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1480 1486
1481 1487 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1482 1488 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1483 1489 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1484 1490
1485 1491 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1486 1492 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1487 1493
1488 1494 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1489 1495
1490 1496 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1491 1497 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1492 1498 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1493 1499 Stefan.
1494 1500
1495 1501 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1496 1502
1497 1503 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1498 1504 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1499 1505 sys.stdout.close().
1500 1506
1501 1507 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1502 1508
1503 1509 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1504 1510 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1505 1511 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1506 1512 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1507 1513
1508 1514 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1509 1515 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1510 1516 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1511 1517
1512 1518 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1513 1519 2.5.
1514 1520
1515 1521 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1516 1522 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1517 1523 interactively.
1518 1524
1519 1525 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1520 1526
1521 1527 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1522 1528 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1523 1529
1524 1530 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1525 1531
1526 1532 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1527 1533 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1528 1534 or only files.
1529 1535
1530 1536 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1531 1537
1532 1538 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1533 1539 they broke unittest
1534 1540
1535 1541 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1536 1542
1537 1543 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1538 1544 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1539 1545 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1540 1546 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1541 1547
1542 1548 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1543 1549
1544 1550 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1545 1551 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1546 1552 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1547 1553 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1548 1554 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1549 1555
1550 1556 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1551 1557
1552 1558 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1553 1559 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1554 1560
1555 1561 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1556 1562
1557 1563 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1558 1564 the mode argument).
1559 1565
1560 1566 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1561 1567
1562 1568 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1563 1569 not running under IPython.
1564 1570
1565 1571 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1566 1572 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1567 1573 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1568 1574 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1569 1575 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1570 1576 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1571 1577 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1572 1578 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1573 1579 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1574 1580 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1575 1581 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1576 1582 are still supported.
1577 1583
1578 1584 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1579 1585 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1580 1586 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1581 1587 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1582 1588
1583 1589 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1584 1590 encoding into methods.
1585 1591
1586 1592 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1587 1593
1588 1594 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1589 1595 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1590 1596
1591 1597 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1592 1598
1593 1599 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1594 1600 non existing attributes.
1595 1601
1596 1602 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1597 1603
1598 1604 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1599 1605 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1600 1606
1601 1607 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1602 1608
1603 1609 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1604 1610 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1605 1611
1606 1612 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1607 1613
1608 1614 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1609 1615 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1610 1616 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1611 1617
1612 1618 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1613 1619
1614 1620 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1615 1621 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1616 1622 Stefan van der Walt.
1617 1623
1618 1624 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1619 1625
1620 1626 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1621 1627 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1622 1628
1623 1629 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1624 1630
1625 1631 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1626 1632 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1627 1633 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1628 1634
1629 1635 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1630 1636
1631 1637 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1632 1638 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1633 1639 attributes.
1634 1640
1635 1641 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1636 1642
1637 1643 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1638 1644 commands into the methods implementing them.
1639 1645
1640 1646 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1641 1647
1642 1648 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1643 1649 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1644 1650 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1645 1651
1646 1652 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1647 1653
1648 1654 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1649 1655 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1650 1656
1651 1657 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1652 1658
1653 1659 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1654 1660 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1655 1661
1656 1662 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1657 1663
1658 1664 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1659 1665 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1660 1666 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1661 1667 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1662 1668 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1663 1669 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1664 1670 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1665 1671 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1666 1672 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1667 1673 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1668 1674 the x key to "delete".
1669 1675
1670 1676 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1671 1677
1672 1678 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1673 1679 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1674 1680 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1675 1681 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1676 1682
1677 1683 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1678 1684 prompt
1679 1685
1680 1686 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1681 1687
1682 1688 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1683 1689
1684 1690 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1685 1691 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1686 1692 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1687 1693 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1688 1694
1689 1695 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1690 1696
1691 1697 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1692 1698 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1693 1699 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1694 1700 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1695 1701 doesn't work properly yet.
1696 1702
1697 1703 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1698 1704
1699 1705 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1700 1706 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1701 1707 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1702 1708
1703 1709 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1704 1710
1705 1711 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1706 1712 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1707 1713 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1708 1714 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1709 1715 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1710 1716 execute commands.
1711 1717
1712 1718 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1713 1719
1714 1720 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1715 1721 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1716 1722
1717 1723 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1718 1724
1719 1725 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1720 1726 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1721 1727
1722 1728 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1723 1729
1724 1730 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1725 1731 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1726 1732 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1727 1733
1728 1734 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1729 1735
1730 1736 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1731 1737
1732 1738 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1733 1739 Repo tagged and release cut.
1734 1740
1735 1741 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1736 1742
1737 1743 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1738 1744 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1739 1745
1740 1746 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1741 1747 (for %upgrade)
1742 1748
1743 1749 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1744 1750
1745 1751 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1746 1752 instead of looping 20 times.
1747 1753
1748 1754 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1749 1755 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1750 1756 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1751 1757
1752 1758 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1753 1759 testing for release on 06/06.
1754 1760
1755 1761 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1756 1762
1757 1763 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1758 1764 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1759 1765 live in people's PATH.
1760 1766
1761 1767 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1762 1768 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1763 1769 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1764 1770 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1765 1771 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1766 1772
1767 1773 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1768 1774 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1769 1775
1770 1776 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1771 1777
1772 1778 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1773 1779 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1774 1780
1775 1781 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1776 1782
1777 1783 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1778 1784 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1779 1785 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1780 1786
1781 1787 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1782 1788
1783 1789 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1784 1790 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1785 1791 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1786 1792 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1787 1793
1788 1794 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1789 1795 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1790 1796 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1791 1797 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1792 1798
1793 1799 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1794 1800 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1795 1801 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1796 1802 work.
1797 1803
1798 1804 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1799 1805
1800 1806 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1801 1807 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1802 1808
1803 1809 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1804 1810 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1805 1811 author William Stein.
1806 1812
1807 1813 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1808 1814 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1809 1815 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1810 1816 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1811 1817 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1812 1818 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1813 1819 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1814 1820 objects more easily.
1815 1821
1816 1822 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1817 1823
1818 1824 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1819 1825 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1820 1826 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1821 1827 by Jeffrey Collins.
1822 1828
1823 1829 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1824 1830 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1825 1831 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1826 1832 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1827 1833
1828 1834 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1829 1835 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1830 1836 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1831 1837 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1832 1838
1833 1839 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1834 1840 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1835 1841 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1836 1842 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1837 1843 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1838 1844 compatibility)
1839 1845
1840 1846 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1841 1847 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1842 1848 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1843 1849
1844 1850 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1845 1851 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1846 1852 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1847 1853 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1848 1854 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1849 1855
1850 1856 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1851 1857 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1852 1858 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1853 1859
1854 1860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1855 1861 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1856 1862 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1857 1863 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1858 1864 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1859 1865 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1860 1866 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1861 1867
1862 1868 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1863 1869 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1864 1870 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1865 1871
1866 1872 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1867 1873 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1868 1874 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1869 1875
1870 1876 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1871 1877 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1872 1878
1873 1879 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1874 1880
1875 1881 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1876 1882 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1877 1883 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1878 1884 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1879 1885 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1880 1886 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1881 1887 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1882 1888 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1883 1889 while running under SAGE.
1884 1890
1885 1891 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1886 1892
1887 1893 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1888 1894 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1889 1895 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1890 1896 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1891 1897
1892 1898 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1893 1899
1894 1900 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1895 1901 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1896 1902 updated.
1897 1903
1898 1904 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1899 1905 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1900 1906 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1901 1907 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1902 1908 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1903 1909
1904 1910 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1905 1911 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1906 1912 so more testing is needed...
1907 1913
1908 1914 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1909 1915
1910 1916 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1911 1917 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1912 1918 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1913 1919 when doing complex debugging.
1914 1920 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1915 1921 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1916 1922 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1917 1923 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1918 1924
1919 1925 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1920 1926
1921 1927 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1922 1928 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1923 1929 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1924 1930 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1925 1931
1926 1932 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1927 1933
1928 1934 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1929 1935 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1930 1936
1931 1937 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1932 1938
1933 1939 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1934 1940 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1935 1941 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1936 1942 been the one to acquire it.
1937 1943
1938 1944 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1939 1945
1940 1946 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1941 1947
1942 1948 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1943 1949
1944 1950 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1945 1951 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1946 1952 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1947 1953
1948 1954 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1949 1955 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1950 1956 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1951 1957 properly flush the output cache.
1952 1958
1953 1959 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1954 1960 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1955 1961
1956 1962 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1957 1963
1958 1964 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1959 1965 are quoted
1960 1966
1961 1967 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1962 1968
1963 1969 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1964 1970 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1965 1971
1966 1972 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1967 1973 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1968 1974
1969 1975 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1970 1976
1971 1977 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1972 1978 %upgrade magic
1973 1979
1974 1980 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1975 1981
1976 1982 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1977 1983 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1978 1984 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1979 1985
1980 1986 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1981 1987
1982 1988 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1983 1989 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1984 1990
1985 1991 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1986 1992 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1987 1993 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1988 1994 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1989 1995 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1990 1996
1991 1997 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1992 1998
1993 1999 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1994 2000 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1995 2001
1996 2002 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1997 2003
1998 2004 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1999 2005 Torsten Marek.
2000 2006
2001 2007 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2002 2008
2003 2009 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
2004 2010 line ranges works again.
2005 2011
2006 2012 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2007 2013
2008 2014 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
2009 2015 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
2010 2016 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
2011 2017 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
2012 2018 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
2013 2019
2014 2020 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
2015 2021 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
2016 2022 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
2017 2023 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
2018 2024 more.
2019 2025
2020 2026 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2021 2027
2022 2028 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
2023 2029 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
2024 2030
2025 2031 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2026 2032
2027 2033 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
2028 2034 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
2029 2035
2030 2036 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2031 2037
2032 2038 * Magic.py: %save works again.
2033 2039
2034 2040 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2035 2041
2036 2042 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
2037 2043
2038 2044 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
2039 2045 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
2040 2046 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
2041 2047
2042 2048 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2043 2049
2044 2050 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
2045 2051 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
2046 2052 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
2047 2053 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
2048 2054
2049 2055 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
2050 2056 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
2051 2057
2052 2058 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
2053 2059 contributed by marienz to close
2054 2060 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
2055 2061
2056 2062 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2057 2063
2058 2064 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
2059 2065
2060 2066 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
2061 2067 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
2062 2068 nonsense.
2063 2069
2064 2070 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2065 2071
2066 2072 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
2067 2073 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
2068 2074
2069 2075 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
2070 2076
2071 2077 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2072 2078
2073 2079 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
2074 2080 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
2075 2081
2076 2082 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2077 2083
2078 2084 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
2079 2085 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
2080 2086 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
2081 2087 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
2082 2088 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
2083 2089 SAGE team.
2084 2090 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
2085 2091 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
2086 2092
2087 2093 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
2088 2094 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
2089 2095 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
2090 2096 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
2091 2097 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
2092 2098
2093 2099 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2094 2100
2095 2101 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
2096 2102 correctly now (on Linux)
2097 2103
2098 2104 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
2099 2105 warnings
2100 2106
2101 2107 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
2102 2108
2103 2109 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
2104 2110
2105 2111
2106 2112 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2107 2113
2108 2114 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
2109 2115 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
2110 2116 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
2111 2117 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
2112 2118 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
2113 2119 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
2114 2120 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
2115 2121 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
2116 2122
2117 2123 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
2118 2124
2119 2125 * aliases can now be %store'd
2120 2126
2121 2127 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
2122 2128 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
2123 2129 at __init__.
2124 2130
2125 2131 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
2126 2132 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
2127 2133
2128 2134 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2129 2135
2130 2136 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
2131 2137 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
2132 2138 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
2133 2139

2136 2142 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
2137 2143
2138 2144 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2139 2145
2140 2146 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
2141 2147 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
2142 2148 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
2143 2149 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
2144 2150
2145 2151 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
2146 2152 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
2147 2153
2148 2154 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2149 2155
2150 2156 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
2151 2157 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
2152 2158 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
2153 2159 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
2154 2160
2155 2161 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
2156 2162 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
2157 2163 usage.
2158 2164
2159 2165 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
2160 2166 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
2161 2167 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
2162 2168
2163 2169 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
2164 2170
2165 2171 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
2166 2172 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
2167 2173
2168 2174 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
2169 2175 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
2170 2176 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
2171 2177
2172 2178 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
2173 2179
2174 2180 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2175 2181
2176 2182 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2177 2183
2178 2184 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2179 2185 are now more helpful:
2180 2186 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2181 2187
2182 2188 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2183 2189
2184 2190 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2185 2191 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2186 2192
2187 2193 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2188 2194
2189 2195 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2190 2196 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2191 2197
2192 2198 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2193 2199 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2194 2200 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2195 2201
2196 2202 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2197 2203
2198 2204
2199 2205 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2200 2206
2201 2207 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2202 2208 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2203 2209
2204 2210 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2205 2211
2206 2212 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2207 2213 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2208 2214 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2209 2215 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2210 2216 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2211 2217 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2212 2218
2213 2219 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2214 2220
2215 2221 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2216 2222 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2217 2223 \python24\scripts).
2218 2224
2219 2225 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2220 2226 egg.
2221 2227
2222 2228 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2223 2229
2224 2230 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2225 2231
2226 2232 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2227 2233
2228 2234 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2229 2235
2230 2236 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2231 2237
2232 2238 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2233 2239 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2234 2240 \python24\scripts).
2235 2241
2236 2242 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2237 2243 egg.
2238 2244
2239 2245 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2240 2246
2241 2247 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2242 2248 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2243 2249 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2244 2250
2245 2251 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2246 2252 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2247 2253 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2248 2254 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2249 2255
2250 2256 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2251 2257 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2252 2258 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2253 2259 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2254 2260 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2255 2261 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2256 2262 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2257 2263 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2258 2264 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2259 2265 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2260 2266 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2261 2267 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2262 2268
2263 2269 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2264 2270
2265 2271 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2266 2272 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2267 2273 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2268 2274 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2269 2275
2270 2276 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2271 2277
2272 2278 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2273 2279 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2274 2280 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2275 2281 importing extensions easy.
2276 2282
2277 2283 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2278 2284 classes / instances of those classes.
2279 2285
2280 2286 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2281 2287 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2282 2288 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2283 2289 the user.
2284 2290
2285 2291 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2286 2292 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2287 2293 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2288 2294
2289 2295 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2290 2296
2291 2297 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2292 2298 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2293 2299 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2294 2300 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2295 2301 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2296 2302 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2297 2303 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2298 2304 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2299 2305 the method.
2300 2306
2301 2307 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2302 2308
2303 2309 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2304 2310 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2305 2311
2306 2312 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2307 2313
2308 2314 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2309 2315 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2310 2316 Vivian.
2311 2317
2312 2318 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2313 2319 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2314 2320 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2315 2321 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2316 2322 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2317 2323
2318 2324 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2319 2325
2320 2326 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2321 2327 that returns file contents on exit.
2322 2328
2323 2329 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2324 2330 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2325 2331 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2326 2332 sc files=ls
2327 2333 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2328 2334 print p,p.mtime
2329 2335
2330 2336 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2331 2337 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2332 2338 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2333 2339 instead of syntax error.
2334 2340
2335 2341
2336 2342 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2337 2343
2338 2344 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2339 2345 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2340 2346 data.
2341 2347
2342 2348 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2343 2349 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2344 2350 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2345 2351 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2346 2352
2347 2353 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2348 2354 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2349 2355 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2350 2356 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2351 2357 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2352 2358 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2353 2359
2354 2360 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2355 2361
2356 2362 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2357 2363 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2358 2364 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2359 2365 current dir.
2360 2366
2361 2367 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2362 2368 had to create new files.
2363 2369
2364 2370 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2365 2371 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2366 2372 future.
2367 2373
2368 2374 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2369 2375 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2370 2376 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2371 2377
2372 2378
2373 2379 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2374 2380
2375 2381 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2376 2382 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2377 2383 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2378 2384 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2379 2385 later.
2380 2386
2381 2387 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2382 2388 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2383 2389
2384 2390 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2385 2391
2386 2392 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2387 2393 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2388 2394 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2389 2395 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2390 2396 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2391 2397 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2392 2398
2393 2399 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2394 2400
2395 2401 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2396 2402 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2397 2403 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2398 2404 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2399 2405 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2400 2406 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2401 2407 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2402 2408 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2403 2409 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2404 2410 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2405 2411
2406 2412 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2407 2413 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2408 2414 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2409 2415 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2410 2416
2411 2417 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2412 2418 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2413 2419 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2414 2420 "setup.py install" between changes).
2415 2421
2416 2422 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2417 2423 if 1:
2418 2424 !ls
2419 2425 !!ls
2420 2426
2421 2427 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2422 2428
2423 2429 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2424 2430 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2425 2431 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2426 2432 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2427 2433
2428 2434 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2429 2435 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2430 2436 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2431 2437
2432 2438 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2433 2439
2434 2440 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2435 2441 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2436 2442 win32.
2437 2443
2438 2444 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2439 2445
2440 2446 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2441 2447
2442 2448 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2443 2449 ready for release.
2444 2450
2445 2451 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2446 2452 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2447 2453 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2448 2454 where to copy the info from.
2449 2455
2450 2456 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2451 2457
2452 2458 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2453 2459 support in the release tools as well.
2454 2460
2455 2461 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2456 2462
2457 2463 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2458 2464 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2459 2465 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2460 2466 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2461 2467
2462 2468 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2463 2469 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2464 2470 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2465 2471
2466 2472 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2467 2473 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2468 2474
2469 2475 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2470 2476 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2471 2477 printer not to work.
2472 2478
2473 2479 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2474 2480
2475 2481 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2476 2482 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2477 2483
2478 2484 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2479 2485
2480 2486 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2481 2487 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2482 2488 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2483 2489
2484 2490 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2485 2491 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2486 2492 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2487 2493
2488 2494 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2489 2495 Ville's patch.
2490 2496
2491 2497 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2492 2498
2493 2499 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2494 2500 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2495 2501 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2496 2502 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2497 2503 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2498 2504 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2499 2505 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2500 2506
2501 2507 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2502 2508 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2503 2509 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2504 2510
2505 2511 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2506 2512
2507 2513 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2508 2514 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2509 2515
2510 2516 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2511 2517 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2512 2518 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2513 2519 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2514 2520 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2515 2521 twister).
2516 2522
2517 2523 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2518 2524 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2519 2525 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2520 2526
2521 2527 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2522 2528 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2523 2529 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2524 2530 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2525 2531 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2526 2532 something inside the dis module.
2527 2533
2528 2534 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2529 2535
2530 2536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2531 2537 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2532 2538 follows the discussion in
2533 2539 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2534 2540
2535 2541 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2536 2542 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2537 2543 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2538 2544
2539 2545 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2540 2546 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2541 2547 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2542 2548
2543 2549 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2544 2550 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2545 2551 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2546 2552 speed up this routine.
2547 2553
2548 2554 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2549 2555 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2550 2556 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2551 2557 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2552 2558 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2553 2559 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2554 2560 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2555 2561 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2556 2562
2557 2563 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2558 2564 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2559 2565 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2560 2566
2561 2567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2562 2568 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2563 2569 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2564 2570 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2565 2571 setters don't do anything).
2566 2572
2567 2573 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2568 2574
2569 2575 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2570 2576 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2571 2577 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2572 2578 falling out of sync...)
2573 2579
2574 2580 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2575 2581 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2576 2582 as loops).
2577 2583
2578 2584 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2579 2585 win32 system access.
2580 2586
2581 2587 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2582 2588
2583 2589 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2584 2590 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2585 2591 thread-safe.
2586 2592 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2587 2593 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2588 2594 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2589 2595 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2590 2596 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2591 2597 can still happen.
2592 2598 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2593 2599 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2594 2600 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2595 2601 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2596 2602 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2597 2603 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2598 2604 cleanly.
2599 2605
2600 2606 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2601 2607 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2602 2608 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2603 2609 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2604 2610 users' persisted data.
2605 2611
2606 2612 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2607 2613 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2608 2614 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2609 2615 multiline input (such as macros).
2610 2616
2611 2617 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2612 2618 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2613 2619 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2614 2620 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2615 2621 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2616 2622 informative).
2617 2623
2618 2624 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2619 2625 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2620 2626
2621 2627 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2622 2628 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2623 2629 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2624 2630
2625 2631 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2626 2632 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2627 2633 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2628 2634 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2629 2635 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2630 2636 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2631 2637 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2632 2638 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2633 2639 details.
2634 2640
2635 2641 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2636 2642 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2637 2643 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2638 2644 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2639 2645 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2640 2646
2641 2647 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2642 2648 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2643 2649 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2644 2650 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2645 2651 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2646 2652
2647 2653 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2648 2654 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2649 2655 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2650 2656 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2651 2657 options to %logstart. Closes
2652 2658 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2653 2659 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2654 2660
2655 2661 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2656 2662
2657 2663 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2658 2664 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2659 2665 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2660 2666 list:
2661 2667 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2662 2668
2663 2669 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2664 2670
2665 2671 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2666 2672 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2667 2673 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2668 2674 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2669 2675
2670 2676 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2671 2677 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2672 2678 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2673 2679 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2674 2680 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2675 2681
2676 2682 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2677 2683 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2678 2684 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2679 2685 true by default.
2680 2686
2681 2687 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2682 2688 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2683 2689 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2684 2690 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2685 2691
2686 2692 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2687 2693
2688 2694 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2689 2695 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2690 2696 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2691 2697 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2692 2698 version committed).
2693 2699
2694 2700 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2695 2701 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2696 2702 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2697 2703 discussion on the user list.
2698 2704
2699 2705 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2700 2706 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2701 2707 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2702 2708 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2703 2709
2704 2710 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2705 2711
2706 2712 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2707 2713 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2708 2714 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2709 2715
2710 2716 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2711 2717 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2712 2718 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2713 2719
2714 2720 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2715 2721 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2716 2722 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2717 2723 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2718 2724 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2719 2725 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2720 2726 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2721 2727 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2722 2728 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2723 2729 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2724 2730 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2725 2731 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2726 2732 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2727 2733 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2728 2734 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2729 2735 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2730 2736 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2731 2737 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2732 2738 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2733 2739 branch refactoring.
2734 2740
2735 2741 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2736 2742
2737 2743 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2738 2744 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2739 2745
2740 2746 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2741 2747 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2742 2748 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2743 2749 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2744 2750 worked correctly).
2745 2751
2746 2752 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2747 2753 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2748 2754 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2749 2755
2750 2756 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2751 2757
2752 2758 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2753 2759 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2754 2760 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2755 2761 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2756 2762 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2757 2763 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2758 2764 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2759 2765 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2760 2766
2761 2767 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2762 2768
2763 2769 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2764 2770 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2765 2771 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2766 2772 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2767 2773 on this.
2768 2774
2769 2775 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2770 2776
2771 2777 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2772 2778 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2773 2779 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2774 2780 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2775 2781 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2776 2782
2777 2783 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2778 2784
2779 2785 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2780 2786 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2781 2787 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2782 2788 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2783 2789
2784 2790 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2785 2791
2786 2792 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2787 2793 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2788 2794 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2789 2795
2790 2796 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2791 2797
2792 2798 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2793 2799 startup time.
2794 2800
2795 2801 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2796 2802 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2797 2803 it's working in all cases.
2798 2804
2799 2805 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2800 2806 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2801 2807 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2802 2808 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2803 2809 per-search basis.
2804 2810
2805 2811 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2806 2812
2807 2813 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2808 2814 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2809 2815 of a patch by Jorgen.
2810 2816
2811 2817 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2812 2818
2813 2819 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2814 2820 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2815 2821 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2816 2822
2817 2823 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2818 2824
2819 2825 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2820 2826 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2821 2827 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2822 2828 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2823 2829
2824 2830 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2825 2831
2826 2832 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2827 2833 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2828 2834 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2829 2835 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2830 2836 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2831 2837 implementing this functionality.

2833 2839 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2834 2840
2835 2841 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2836 2842 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2837 2843 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2838 2844 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2839 2845 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2840 2846 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2841 2847 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.

2844 2850
2845 2851 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2846 2852 reported by Stephen Walton.
2847 2853
2848 2854 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2849 2855
2850 2856 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2851 2857
2852 2858 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2853 2859 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2854 2860
2855 2861 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2856 2862
2857 2863 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2858 2864 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2859 2865
2860 2866 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2861 2867 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2862 2868
2863 2869 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2864 2870
2865 2871 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2866 2872 finishing.
2867 2873
2868 2874 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2869 2875 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2870 2876
2871 2877 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2872 2878 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2873 2879 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2874 2880
2875 2881 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2876 2882 code, handy in general.
2877 2883
2878 2884 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2879 2885 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2880 2886 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2881 2887
2882 2888 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2883 2889
2884 2890 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2885 2891 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2886 2892 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2887 2893 testing, though.
2888 2894 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2889 2895 like this before...
2890 2896
2891 2897 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2892 2898 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2893 2899
2894 2900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2895 2901 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2896 2902
2897 2903 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2898 2904
2899 2905 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2900 2906 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2901 2907 F. Mantegazza.
2902 2908
2903 2909 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2904 2910
2905 2911 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2906 2912 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2907 2913 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2908 2914
2909 2915 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2910 2916 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2911 2917 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2912 2918 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2913 2919 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2914 2920 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2915 2921
2916 2922 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2917 2923
2918 2924 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2919 2925 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2920 2926 beyond readline-based environments.
2921 2927
2922 2928 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2923 2929
2924 2930 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2925 2931
2926 2932 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2927 2933 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2928 2934 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2929 2935 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2930 2936 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2931 2937
2932 2938 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2933 2939
2934 2940 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2935 2941 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2936 2942 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2937 2943
2938 2944 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2945
2940 2946 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2941 2947
2942 2948 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2943 2949
2944 2950 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2945 2951 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2946 2952 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2947 2953 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2948 2954 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2949 2955 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2950 2956
2951 2957 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2952 2958
2953 2959 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2954 2960
2955 2961 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2956 2962
2957 2963 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2958 2964 invalid $HOME under win32.
2959 2965
2960 2966 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2961 2967
2962 2968 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2963 2969 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2964 2970 simpler and a bit faster.
2965 2971
2966 2972 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2967 2973 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2968 2974 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2969 2975 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2970 2976 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2971 2977
2972 2978 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2973 2979 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2974 2980 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2975 2981
2976 2982 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2977 2983 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2978 2984
2979 2985 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2980 2986 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2981 2987 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2982 2988 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2983 2989 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2984 2990 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2985 2991 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2986 2992
2987 2993 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2988 2994
2989 2995 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2990 2996
2991 2997 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2992 2998
2993 2999 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2994 3000 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2995 3001
2996 3002 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2997 3003
2998 3004 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2999 3005 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
3000 3006 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
3001 3007 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
3002 3008 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
3003 3009 for the contribution.
3004 3010
3005 3011 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
3006 3012 slightly modified version of the patch in
3007 3013 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
3008 3014 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
3009 3015 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
3010 3016
3011 3017 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3012 3018
3013 3019 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
3014 3020 I/O a bit more.
3015 3021
3016 3022 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
3017 3023 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
3018 3024
3019 3025 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
3020 3026
3021 3027 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3022 3028
3023 3029 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
3024 3030 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
3025 3031 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
3026 3032 readline delimiters configuration to read:
3027 3033
3028 3034 readline_remove_delims -/~
3029 3035
3030 3036
3031 3037 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
3032 3038
3033 3039 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3034 3040
3035 3041 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
3036 3042 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
3037 3043 <eli@gondolin.net>
3038 3044
3039 3045 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3040 3046
3041 3047 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
3042 3048 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
3043 3049
3044 3050 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3045 3051
3046 3052 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
3047 3053 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
3048 3054 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
3049 3055
3050 3056 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3057
3052 3058 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
3053 3059 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
3054 3060
3055 3061 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3056 3062
3057 3063 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
3058 3064 to usage page (invoked with --help).
3059 3065
3060 3066 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
3061 3067 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
3062 3068 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
3063 3069 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
3064 3070 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
3065 3071 for more details.
3066 3072
3067 3073 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
3068 3074 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
3069 3075 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
3070 3076 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
3071 3077
3072 3078 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3073 3079
3074 3080 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
3075 3081 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
3076 3082 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
3077 3083 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
3078 3084 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
3079 3085
3080 3086 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
3081 3087 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
3082 3088 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
3083 3089
3084 3090 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3085 3091
3086 3092 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
3087 3093
3088 3094 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3095
3090 3096 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
3091 3097 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
3092 3098 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
3093 3099 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
3094 3100 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
3095 3101
3096 3102 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
3097 3103
3098 3104 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3099 3105
3100 3106 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
3101 3107 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
3102 3108 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
3103 3109 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
3104 3110 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
3105 3111
3106 3112 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
3107 3113 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
3108 3114 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
3109 3115 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
3110 3116 take the text parameter.
3111 3117
3112 3118 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
3113 3119 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
3114 3120 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
3115 3121 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
3116 3122 pysh profile to include the line
3117 3123
3118 3124 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
3119 3125
3120 3126 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
3121 3127 delete pysh.py and the line
3122 3128
3123 3129 execfile pysh.py
3124 3130
3125 3131 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
3126 3132
3127 3133 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
3128 3134 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
3129 3135 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
3130 3136 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
3131 3137 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
3132 3138
3133 3139 * pysh.py:
3134 3140
3135 3141 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3136 3142
3137 3143 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
3138 3144 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
3139 3145 want it can still turn it off.
3140 3146
3141 3147 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
3142 3148 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
3143 3149 off by default.
3144 3150
3145 3151 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
3146 3152 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
3147 3153 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
3148 3154 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
3149 3155 calls.
3150 3156
3151 3157 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3152 3158
3153 3159 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
3154 3160 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
3155 3161 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
3156 3162
3157 3163 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3158 3164
3159 3165 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
3160 3166 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
3161 3167 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
3162 3168 (including 0) after the ':' character.
3163 3169
3164 3170 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
3165 3171 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
3166 3172 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
3167 3173 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
3168 3174
3169 3175 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3170 3176
3171 3177 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
3172 3178 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
3173 3179
3174 3180 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3175 3181 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3176 3182 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3177 3183 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3178 3184 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3179 3185 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3180 3186 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3181 3187 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3182 3188
3183 3189 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3184 3190
3185 3191 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3186 3192 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3187 3193 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3188 3194 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3189 3195 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3190 3196 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3191 3197 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3192 3198 add new completers at runtime.
3193 3199
3194 3200 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3195 3201
3196 3202 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3197 3203 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3198 3204 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3199 3205 ? system.
3200 3206
3201 3207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3202 3208 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3203 3209 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3204 3210 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3205 3211 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3206 3212 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3207 3213 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3208 3214 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3209 3215
3210 3216 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3211 3217
3212 3218 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3213 3219 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3214 3220 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3215 3221 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3216 3222 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3217 3223
3218 3224 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3219 3225 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3220 3226 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3221 3227 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3222 3228 add:
3223 3229
3224 3230 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3225 3231 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

3227 3233 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3228 3234
3229 3235 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3230 3236 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3231 3237 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3232 3238 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3233 3239
3234 3240 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3235 3241 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3236 3242 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3237 3243 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3238 3244 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3239 3245 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3240 3246 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3241 3247 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3242 3248 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3243 3249
3244 3250 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3245 3251
3246 3252 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3247 3253 prompt namespace handling.
3248 3254
3249 3255 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3250 3256
3251 3257 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3252 3258 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3253 3259 trips the emacs python mode).
3254 3260 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3255 3261 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3256 3262 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3257 3263 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3258 3264 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3259 3265 calls will be made at runtime.

3261 3267 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3262 3268
3263 3269 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3264 3270 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3265 3271 the call to %history.

3270 3276
3271 3277 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3272 3278 ipmagic() function calls.
3273 3279
3274 3280 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3275 3281 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3276 3282
3277 3283 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3278 3284
3279 3285 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3280 3286 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3281 3287 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3282 3288 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3283 3289 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3284 3290 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3285 3291 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3286 3292 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.

3288 3294 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3289 3295
3290 3296 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3291 3297 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3292 3298 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3293 3299 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3294 3300 Ville Vainio.

3297 3303
3298 3304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3299 3305 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3300 3306 define the ones they personally like.
3301 3307
3302 3308 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3309
3304 3310 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3305 3311 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3306 3312
3307 3313 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3308 3314
3309 3315 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3310 3316 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3311 3317
3312 3318 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3313 3319 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3314 3320 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3315 3321 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3316 3322 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3317 3323 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3318 3324 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3319 3325 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3320 3326
3321 3327 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3322 3328 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3323 3329 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3324 3330 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3325 3331 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

3328 3334
3329 3335 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3330 3336 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3331 3337 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3332 3338
3333 3339 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3334 3340 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3335 3341 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3336 3342

3339 3345 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3340 3346
3341 3347 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3342 3348 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3343 3349 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3344 3350 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3345 3351 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3346 3352 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3347 3353 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3348 3354 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3349 3355 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3350 3356 system is a separate implementation).
3351 3357
3352 3358 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3353 3359 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3354 3360 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3355 3361 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3356 3362 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3357 3363 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3358 3364 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3359 3365 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3360 3366 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3361 3367 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3362 3368 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

3365 3371
3366 3372 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3367 3373 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3368 3374 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3369 3375 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3370 3376 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3371 3377 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3372 3378 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3373 3379 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

3378 3384 previous call produced a syntax error.
3379 3385
3380 3386 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3381 3387 classes without constructor.

3383 3389 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3384 3390
3385 3391 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3386 3392 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3387 3393 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3388 3394 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3389 3395 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3390 3396 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3391 3397 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

3396 3402 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3397 3403
3398 3404 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3399 3405
3400 3406 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3401 3407 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3402 3408 optimizations.
3403 3409
3404 3410 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3405 3411 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3406 3412
3407 3413 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3408 3414
3409 3415 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3410 3416 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3411 3417 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3412 3418 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3413 3419 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3414 3420 avoid annoying the lists further.

3419 3425
3420 3426 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3421 3427 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3422 3428 norm definitions.
3423 3429 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3424 3430 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3425 3431 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3426 3432
3427 3433 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3428 3434 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3429 3435 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3430 3436 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3431 3437 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3432 3438
3433 3439 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3434 3440 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3435 3441 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3436 3442 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3437 3443
3438 3444 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3439 3445 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3440 3446 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3441 3447 fixes.
3442 3448
3443 3449 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3444 3450 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3445 3451 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3446 3452 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3447 3453 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3448 3454 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3449 3455 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

3454 3460
3455 3461 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3456 3462 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3457 3463 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3458 3464 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3459 3465 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3460 3466 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3461 3467 Panel.
3462 3468
3463 3469 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3464 3470 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3465 3471 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3466 3472 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3467 3473 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3468 3474
3469 3475 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3470 3476
3471 3477 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3472 3478 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3473 3479

3477 3483
3478 3484 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3479 3485 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3480 3486 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3481 3487 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3482 3488 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3483 3489 python shell.
3484 3490
3485 3491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3486 3492 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3487 3493 on assignments. This closes
3488 3494 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3489 3495 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3490 3496 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

3519 3525 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3520 3526 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3521 3527
3522 3528 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3523 3529 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3524 3530 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.

3532 3538
3533 3539 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3534 3540 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3535 3541 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.

3539 3545 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3540 3546 reported by Prabhu.
3541 3547 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3542 3548 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3543 3549 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3544 3550
3545 3551 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3546 3552 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3547 3553
3548 3554 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3549 3555 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3550 3556 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3551 3557 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3552 3558 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3553 3559 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3554 3560
3555 3561 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3556 3562
3557 3563 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3558 3564
3559 3565 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3560 3566 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3561 3567 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3562 3568 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3563 3569
3564 3570 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3565 3571 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3566 3572
3567 3573 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3568 3574 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3569 3575 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3570 3576 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3571 3577 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3572 3578 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3573 3579 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3574 3580
3575 3581 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3576 3582 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3577 3583 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3578 3584
3579 3585 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3580 3586 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3581 3587 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3582 3588 before.
3583 3589
3584 3590 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3585 3591
3586 3592 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3587 3593 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3588 3594 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3589 3595 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3590 3596
3591 3597 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3592 3598 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3593 3599 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3594 3600 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3595 3601 timing very short-running code.
3596 3602
3597 3603 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3598 3604 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3599 3605 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3600 3606 utility.
3601 3607
3602 3608 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3603 3609 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3604 3610 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3605 3611 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3606 3612 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3607 3613 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3608 3614 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3609 3615 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3610 3616
3611 3617 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3612 3618 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3613 3619 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3614 3620
3615 3621 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3616 3622 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3617 3623 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3618 3624 is for).
3619 3625
3620 3626 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3621 3627 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3622 3628 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3623 3629 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3624 3630 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3625 3631
3626 3632 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3627 3633
3628 3634 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3629 3635 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3630 3636 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3631 3637 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3632 3638 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3633 3639
3634 3640 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3635 3641 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3636 3642 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3637 3643 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3638 3644 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3639 3645 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3640 3646
3641 3647 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3642 3648
3643 3649 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3644 3650 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3645 3651
3646 3652 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3647 3653
3648 3654 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3649 3655 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3650 3656 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3651 3657 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3652 3658
3653 3659 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3654 3660
3655 3661 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3656 3662
3657 3663 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3658 3664 setting with -d option.
3659 3665
3660 3666 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3661 3667 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3662 3668 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3663 3669 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3664 3670
3665 3671 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3672
3667 3673 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3668 3674 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3669 3675
3670 3676 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3671 3677 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3672 3678 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3673 3679 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3674 3680 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3675 3681 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3676 3682 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3677 3683 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3678 3684 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3679 3685 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3680 3686 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3681 3687
3682 3688 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3683 3689
3684 3690 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3685 3691 cache when empty lines were present.
3686 3692
3687 3693 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3688 3694
3689 3695 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3690 3696 options for WX and GTK.
3691 3697
3692 3698 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3693 3699
3694 3700 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3695 3701 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3696 3702 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3697 3703 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3698 3704 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3699 3705 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3700 3706 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3701 3707
3702 3708 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3703 3709 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3704 3710
3705 3711 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3706 3712
3707 3713 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3708 3714 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3709 3715 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3710 3716 many thanks.
3711 3717
3712 3718 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3713 3719 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3714 3720 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3715 3721
3716 3722 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3717 3723
3718 3724 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3719 3725 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3720 3726 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3721 3727
3722 3728 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3723 3729
3724 3730 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3725 3731
3726 3732 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3727 3733 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3728 3734 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3729 3735
3730 3736 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3731 3737
3732 3738 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3733 3739 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3734 3740
3735 3741 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3736 3742
3737 3743 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3738 3744 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3739 3745 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3740 3746 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3741 3747 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3742 3748 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3743 3749 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3744 3750
3745 3751 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3746 3752
3747 3753 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3748 3754 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3749 3755 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3750 3756 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3751 3757
3752 3758 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3753 3759 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3754 3760
3755 3761 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3756 3762
3757 3763 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3758 3764 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3759 3765
3760 3766 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3761 3767 use throughout ipython.
3762 3768
3763 3769 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3764 3770 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3765 3771
3766 3772 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3767 3773 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3768 3774 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3769 3775 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3770 3776
3771 3777 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3772 3778
3773 3779 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3774 3780 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3775 3781 report by Francesc Alted.
3776 3782
3777 3783 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3778 3784
3779 3785 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3780 3786 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3781 3787
3782 3788 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3783 3789
3784 3790 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3785 3791 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3786 3792 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3787 3793 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3788 3794 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3789 3795 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3790 3796 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3791 3797 correctly set.
3792 3798
3793 3799 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3794 3800
3795 3801 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3796 3802 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3797 3803 import requirement of PEP-328.
3798 3804
3799 3805 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3800 3806 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3801 3807 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3802 3808 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3803 3809
3804 3810 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3805 3811
3806 3812 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3807 3813
3808 3814 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3809 3815 via a normal python function call.
3810 3816
3811 3817 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3812 3818 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3813 3819 2.4.
3814 3820
3815 3821 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3816 3822
3817 3823 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3818 3824 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3819 3825 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3820 3826 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3821 3827 is given to the user).
3822 3828
3823 3829 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3830
3825 3831 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3826 3832 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3827 3833 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3828 3834 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3829 3835
3830 3836 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3831 3837 python 2.2.
3832 3838
3833 3839 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3834 3840 banner arg for embedded customization.
3835 3841
3836 3842 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3837 3843 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3838 3844 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3839 3845 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3840 3846 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3841 3847 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3842 3848
3843 3849 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3844 3850 minor changes to debian dir.
3845 3851
3846 3852 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3847 3853 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3848 3854 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3849 3855 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3850 3856
3851 3857 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3858
3853 3859 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3854 3860 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3855 3861 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3856 3862 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3857 3863 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3858 3864
3859 3865 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3860 3866
3861 3867 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3862 3868 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3863 3869
3864 3870 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3865 3871
3866 3872 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3867 3873 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3868 3874
3869 3875 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3870 3876
3871 3877 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3872 3878
3873 3879 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3874 3880 updated.
3875 3881
3876 3882 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3877 3883
3878 3884 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3879 3885 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3880 3886 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3881 3887 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3882 3888 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3883 3889
3884 3890 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3885 3891 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3886 3892 split regexp. Closes
3887 3893 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3888 3894 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3889 3895 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3890 3896 extensions.
3891 3897
3892 3898 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3893 3899 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3894 3900 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3895 3901 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3896 3902 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3897 3903
3898 3904 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3899 3905 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3900 3906 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3901 3907 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3902 3908
3903 3909 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3904 3910 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3905 3911
3906 3912 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3907 3913 fine-tune banner.
3908 3914
3909 3915 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3910 3916 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3911 3917
3912 3918 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3913 3919
3914 3920 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3915 3921 were missing.
3916 3922
3917 3923 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3918 3924 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3919 3925 valid at the command line.
3920 3926
3921 3927 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3922 3928 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3923 3929
3924 3930 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3925 3931
3926 3932 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3927 3933 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3928 3934 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3929 3935
3930 3936 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3931 3937
3932 3938 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3933 3939 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3934 3940 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3935 3941 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3936 3942 continue to use the standard profiler.
3937 3943
3938 3944 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3939 3945
3940 3946 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3941 3947 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3942 3948 close.
3943 3949
3944 3950 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3945 3951
3946 3952 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3947 3953 in Magic and ultraTB.
3948 3954
3949 3955 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3950 3956
3951 3957 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3952 3958 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3953 3959 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3954 3960 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3955 3961
3956 3962 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3957 3963 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3958 3964 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3959 3965 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3960 3966 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3961 3967 infrastructure in place.
3962 3968
3963 3969 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3964 3970
3965 3971 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3966 3972
3967 3973 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3968 3974 the pylab profile.
3969 3975
3970 3976 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3971 3977
3972 3978 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3973 3979
3974 3980 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3975 3981 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3976 3982 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3977 3983 itself.
3978 3984
3979 3985 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3980 3986 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3981 3987 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3982 3988 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3983 3989 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3984 3990 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3985 3991 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3986 3992 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3987 3993
3988 3994 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3989 3995 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3990 3996
3991 3997 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3992 3998
3993 3999 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3994 4000 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3995 4001 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3996 4002
3997 4003 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4004
3999 4005 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
4000 4006 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
4001 4007
4002 4008 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4003 4009
4004 4010 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
4005 4011
4006 4012 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
4007 4013
4008 4014 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4009 4015
4010 4016 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
4011 4017 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
4012 4018 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
4013 4019
4014 4020 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4021
4016 4022 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
4017 4023 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
4018 4024 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
4019 4025 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
4020 4026 works.
4021 4027
4022 4028 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
4023 4029 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
4024 4030 practice.
4025 4031
4026 4032 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4027 4033
4028 4034 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
4029 4035 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
4030 4036 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
4031 4037
4032 4038 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4033 4039
4034 4040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
4035 4041 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
4036 4042 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
4037 4043 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
4038 4044
4039 4045 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4040 4046
4041 4047 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
4042 4048 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
4043 4049 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
4044 4050 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
4045 4051
4046 4052 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
4047 4053
4048 4054 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4049 4055
4050 4056 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
4051 4057 fail for any number.
4052 4058 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
4053 4059 empty bookmarks.
4054 4060
4055 4061 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
4056 4062
4057 4063 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4058 4064
4059 4065 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
4060 4066
4061 4067 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
4062 4068 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
4063 4069
4064 4070 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
4065 4071 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
4066 4072
4067 4073 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4074
4069 4075 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
4070 4076 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
4071 4077 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
4072 4078 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
4073 4079 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
4074 4080
4075 4081 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4076 4082
4077 4083 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
4078 4084 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
4079 4085
4080 4086 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4087
4082 4088 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4083 4089 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
4084 4090 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
4085 4091 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
4086 4092
4087 4093 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
4088 4094 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
4089 4095 Schmolck.
4090 4096
4091 4097 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4092 4098
4093 4099 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
4094 4100
4095 4101 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
4096 4102 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
4097 4103
4098 4104 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
4099 4105 optimizations.
4100 4106
4101 4107 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
4102 4108 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
4103 4109
4104 4110 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4105 4111 --Started changelog.
4106 4112 --make clear do what it say it does
4107 4113 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
4108 4114 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
4109 4115 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
4110 4116 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
4111 4117 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
4112 4118 can be done for other cases.
4113 4119 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
4114 4120 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
4115 4121 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
4116 4122
4117 4123 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4118 4124 --added logfile rotation
4119 4125 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
4120 4126
4121 4127 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4122 4128 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
4123 4129 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
4124 4130 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
4125 4131 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
4126 4132 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
4127 4133 --added global logfile option
4128 4134 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
4129 4135 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
4130 4136
4131 4137 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4132 4138 --added a README
4133 4139 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
4134 4140 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
4135 4141 bug or feature.
4136 4142 --changed rc file for new behavior
4137 4143
4138 4144 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4139 4145
4140 4146 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
4141 4147 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
4142 4148 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
4143 4149
4144 4150 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
4145 4151 information which was there from Janko's original code:
4146 4152
4147 4153 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
4148 4154
4149 4155 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
4150 4156 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
4151 4157 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
4152 4158 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
4153 4159 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
4154 4160 and prepended with a #.
4155 4161
4156 4162 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
4157 4163 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
4158 4164
4159 4165 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4160 4166
4161 4167 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
4162 4168 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
4163 4169
4164 4170 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4165 4171
4166 4172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
4167 4173 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
4168 4174
4169 4175 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4170 4176
4171 4177 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
4172 4178 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
4173 4179 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
4174 4180
4175 4181 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4176 4182
4177 4183 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4178 4184 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4179 4185
4180 4186 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4181 4187 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4182 4188 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4183 4189 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4184 4190 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4185 4191 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4186 4192 be implemented later).
4187 4193
4188 4194 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4189 4195 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4190 4196 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4191 4197 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4192 4198
4193 4199 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4194 4200 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4195 4201 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4196 4202
4197 4203 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4198 4204 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4199 4205
4200 4206 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4201 4207 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4202 4208 readline make it impossible to go further.
4203 4209
4204 4210 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4205 4211
4206 4212 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4207 4213 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4208 4214
4209 4215 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4210 4216
4211 4217 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4212 4218 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4213 4219 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4214 4220 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4215 4221
4216 4222 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4217 4223 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4218 4224 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4219 4225 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4220 4226
4221 4227 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4222 4228 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4223 4229 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4224 4230 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4225 4231 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4226 4232 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4227 4233 problem.
4228 4234
4229 4235 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4230 4236 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4231 4237
4232 4238 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4233 4239 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4234 4240 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4235 4241
4236 4242 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4237 4243
4238 4244 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4239 4245 continue prompts.
4240 4246
4241 4247 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4242 4248 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4243 4249 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4244 4250 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4245 4251 byte-compilation saves time.
4246 4252
4247 4253 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4248 4254
4249 4255 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4250 4256 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4251 4257
4252 4258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4253 4259 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4254 4260
4255 4261 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4256 4262 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4257 4263 common cases where it's a problem.
4258 4264
4259 4265 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4260 4266
4261 4267 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4262 4268 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4263 4269 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4264 4270 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4265 4271 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4266 4272 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4267 4273
4268 4274 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4269 4275
4270 4276 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4271 4277 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4272 4278
4273 4279 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4274 4280 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4275 4281 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4276 4282 structure as win_exec_ext.
4277 4283
4278 4284 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4279 4285 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4280 4286
4281 4287 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4282 4288 delete aliases.
4283 4289
4284 4290 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4285 4291 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4286 4292
4287 4293 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4294
4289 4295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4290 4296 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4291 4297
4292 4298 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4293 4299
4294 4300 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4295 4301 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4296 4302
4297 4303 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4298 4304 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4299 4305
4300 4306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4301 4307 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4302 4308 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4303 4309 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4304 4310 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4305 4311 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4306 4312
4307 4313 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4308 4314 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4309 4315 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4310 4316
4311 4317 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4312 4318 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4313 4319 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4314 4320
4315 4321 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4316 4322 via an extra $. For example:
4317 4323
4318 4324 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4319 4325
4320 4326 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4321 4327 a python variable
4322 4328
4323 4329 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4324 4330 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4325 4331
4326 4332 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4327 4333 things prematurely.
4328 4334
4329 4335 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4330 4336 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4331 4337
4332 4338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4333 4339 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4334 4340 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4335 4341 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4336 4342 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4337 4343 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4338 4344 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4339 4345 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4340 4346
4341 4347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4342 4348 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4343 4349 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4344 4350 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4345 4351 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4346 4352 with the old system).
4347 4353
4348 4354 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4349 4355
4350 4356 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4351 4357 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4352 4358
4353 4359 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4354 4360 call to eval.
4355 4361 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4356 4362 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4357 4363 in.
4358 4364
4359 4365 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4360 4366
4361 4367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4362 4368 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4363 4369 confusion).
4364 4370
4365 4371 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4366 4372 check for Windows users.
4367 4373
4368 4374 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4369 4375 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4370 4376 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4371 4377 download it.
4372 4378
4373 4379 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4374 4380
4375 4381 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4376 4382 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4377 4383 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4378 4384 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4379 4385 of IDLE's out).
4380 4386
4381 4387 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4382 4388 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4383 4389 eventually.
4384 4390 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4385 4391
4386 4392 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4387 4393
4388 4394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4389 4395 list of auto-defined aliases.
4390 4396
4391 4397 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4392 4398
4393 4399 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4394 4400 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4395 4401 things under Windows).
4396 4402
4397 4403 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4404
4399 4405 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4400 4406 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4401 4407 reported by Thorsten.
4402 4408
4403 4409 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4404 4410
4405 4411 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4406 4412 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4407 4413 for all examples and the manual as well.
4408 4414
4409 4415 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4416
4411 4417 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4412 4418 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4413 4419 inherit from BasePrompt.
4414 4420
4415 4421 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4416 4422 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4417 4423
4418 4424 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4419 4425 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4420 4426 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4421 4427 defaults.
4422 4428 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4423 4429 this fix manually!
4424 4430
4425 4431 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4426 4432 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4427 4433 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4428 4434 distutils).
4429 4435
4430 4436 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4431 4437 usage of new '\D' escape.
4432 4438
4433 4439 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4434 4440 lacks os.getuid())
4435 4441 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4436 4442 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4437 4443 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4438 4444 handling mechanism.
4439 4445 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4440 4446 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4441 4447 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4442 4448 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4443 4449 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4444 4450 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4445 4451 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4446 4452
4447 4453 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4448 4454
4449 4455 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4450 4456 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4451 4457 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4452 4458
4453 4459 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4454 4460 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4455 4461 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4456 4462 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4457 4463 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4458 4464 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4459 4465 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4460 4466 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4461 4467
4462 4468 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4463 4469 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4464 4470 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4465 4471 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4466 4472 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4467 4473 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4468 4474 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4469 4475 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4470 4476
4471 4477 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4472 4478 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4473 4479 functions uniform.
4474 4480 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4475 4481
4476 4482 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4477 4483 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4478 4484 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4479 4485 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4480 4486 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4481 4487 use to parse their options.
4482 4488
4483 4489 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4484 4490 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4485 4491 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4486 4492
4487 4493 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4488 4494 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4489 4495 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4490 4496 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4491 4497 via the prompt_specials.
4492 4498
4493 4499 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4494 4500
4495 4501 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4496 4502 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4497 4503 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4498 4504 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4499 4505 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4500 4506 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4501 4507 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4502 4508 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4503 4509
4504 4510 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4511
4506 4512 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4507 4513 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4508 4514 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4509 4515
4510 4516 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4517
4512 4518 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4513 4519 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4514 4520
4515 4521 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4516 4522
4517 4523 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4518 4524 parens would get passed to the shell.
4519 4525
4520 4526 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4521 4527
4522 4528 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4523 4529 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4524 4530
4525 4531 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4526 4532 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4527 4533 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4528 4534 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4529 4535 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4530 4536
4531 4537 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4532 4538 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4533 4539 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4534 4540 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4535 4541
4536 4542 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4537 4543
4538 4544 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4539 4545
4540 4546 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4541 4547 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4542 4548 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4543 4549
4544 4550 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4545 4551 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4546 4552 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4547 4553 official documentation.
4548 4554
4549 4555 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4550 4556
4551 4557 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4552 4558 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4553 4559 explicit filename.
4554 4560
4555 4561 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4556 4562
4557 4563 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4558 4564 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4559 4565 case.
4560 4566
4561 4567 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4562 4568 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4563 4569 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4564 4570
4565 4571 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4566 4572
4567 4573 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4568 4574
4569 4575 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4570 4576 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4571 4577 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4572 4578 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4573 4579 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4574 4580 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4575 4581 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4576 4582 any changes to python proper.
4577 4583
4578 4584 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4579 4585 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4580 4586 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4581 4587 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4582 4588 Schmolck.
4583 4589
4584 4590 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4585 4591
4586 4592 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4587 4593 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4588 4594 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4589 4595 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4590 4596
4591 4597 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4592 4598
4593 4599 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4594 4600 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4595 4601 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4596 4602 name).
4597 4603
4598 4604 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4599 4605 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4600 4606 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4601 4607 Francois Pinard.
4602 4608
4603 4609 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4604 4610
4605 4611 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4606 4612 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4607 4613 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4608 4614 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4609 4615 not work.
4610 4616
4611 4617 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4612 4618
4613 4619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4614 4620 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4615 4621 distinguishes stdout/err.
4616 4622
4617 4623 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4618 4624 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4619 4625 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4620 4626 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4621 4627 the standard library.
4622 4628
4623 4629 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4624 4630 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4625 4631
4626 4632 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4627 4633 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4628 4634
4629 4635 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4630 4636
4631 4637 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4632 4638 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4633 4639 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4634 4640 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4635 4641 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4636 4642 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4637 4643
4638 4644 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4639 4645
4640 4646 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4641 4647 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4642 4648 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4643 4649 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4644 4650
4645 4651 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4646 4652
4647 4653 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4648 4654 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4649 4655 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4650 4656 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4651 4657
4652 4658 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4653 4659
4654 4660 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4655 4661 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4656 4662 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4657 4663 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4658 4664 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4659 4665 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4660 4666 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4661 4667 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4662 4668
4663 4669 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4664 4670
4665 4671 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4666 4672 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4667 4673
4668 4674 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4669 4675
4670 4676 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4671 4677 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4672 4678 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4673 4679 very short.
4674 4680
4675 4681 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4676 4682
4677 4683 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4678 4684 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4679 4685 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4680 4686 this before making it permanent.
4681 4687
4682 4688 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4683 4689 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4684 4690 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4685 4691 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4686 4692
4687 4693 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4688 4694
4689 4695 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4690 4696 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4691 4697
4692 4698 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4693 4699
4694 4700 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4695 4701 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4696 4702 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4697 4703 cases I've missed.
4698 4704
4699 4705 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4700 4706
4701 4707 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4702 4708 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4703 4709 system would be triggered for @p.
4704 4710
4705 4711 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4706 4712 cleanups, code unmodified.
4707 4713
4708 4714 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4709 4715 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4710 4716 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4711 4717 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4712 4718 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4713 4719 The actual changes affect many files.
4714 4720
4715 4721 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4716 4722
4717 4723 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4718 4724 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4719 4725 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4720 4726
4721 4727 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4722 4728
4723 4729 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4724 4730 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4725 4731
4726 4732 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4727 4733
4728 4734 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4729 4735 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4730 4736 numpy list.
4731 4737
4732 4738 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4733 4739
4734 4740 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4735 4741 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4736 4742 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4737 4743 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4738 4744
4739 4745 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4740 4746
4741 4747 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4742 4748 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4743 4749 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4744 4750 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4745 4751
4746 4752 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4747 4753 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4748 4754
4749 4755 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4750 4756
4751 4757 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4752 4758 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4753 4759 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4754 4760 Collins.
4755 4761
4756 4762 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4757 4763
4758 4764 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4759 4765
4760 4766 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4761 4767 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4762 4768 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4763 4769
4764 4770 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4765 4771
4766 4772 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4767 4773 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4768 4774 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4769 4775 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4770 4776
4771 4777 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4772 4778 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4773 4779 __getitem__ and __call__.
4774 4780
4775 4781 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4776 4782
4777 4783 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4778 4784
4779 4785 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4780 4786 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4781 4787 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4782 4788 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4783 4789
4784 4790 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4785 4791 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4786 4792 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4787 4793 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4788 4794 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4789 4795 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4790 4796 necessary.
4791 4797
4792 4798 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4793 4799 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4794 4800 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4795 4801
4796 4802 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4797 4803 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4798 4804 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4799 4805 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4800 4806
4801 4807 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4802 4808 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4803 4809 generators.
4804 4810
4805 4811 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4806 4812 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4807 4813 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4808 4814 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4809 4815 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4810 4816 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4811 4817 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4812 4818
4813 4819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4814 4820 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4815 4821 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4816 4822 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4817 4823 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4818 4824
4819 4825 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4820 4826 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4821 4827 edit under some circumstances.
4822 4828 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4823 4829 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4824 4830 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4825 4831 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4826 4832 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4827 4833 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4828 4834 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4829 4835 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4830 4836 need more testing.
4831 4837
4832 4838 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4833 4839
4834 4840 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4835 4841 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4836 4842 and simpler code.
4837 4843
4838 4844 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4839 4845
4840 4846 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4841 4847 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4842 4848 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4843 4849 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4844 4850 even if they were contiguous.
4845 4851 (l1norm): Added this function.
4846 4852 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4847 4853 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4848 4854 and speed.
4849 4855
4850 4856 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4851 4857
4852 4858 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4853 4859 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4854 4860 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4855 4861
4856 4862 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4857 4863
4858 4864 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4859 4865 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4860 4866 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4861 4867
4862 4868 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4863 4869 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4864 4870 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4865 4871
4866 4872 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4867 4873
4868 4874 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4869 4875 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4870 4876 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4871 4877 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4872 4878 activity.
4873 4879
4874 4880 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4875 4881
4876 4882 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4877 4883 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4878 4884 Numeric.identity)
4879 4885
4880 4886 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4887
4882 4888 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4883 4889 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4884 4890 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4885 4891
4886 4892 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4887 4893
4888 4894 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4889 4895 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4890 4896 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4891 4897 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4892 4898
4893 4899 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4894 4900 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4895 4901 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4896 4902 is implemented).
4897 4903
4898 4904 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4899 4905
4900 4906 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4901 4907 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4902 4908 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4903 4909
4904 4910 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4905 4911 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4906 4912 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4907 4913 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4908 4914 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4909 4915
4910 4916 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4911 4917
4912 4918 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4913 4919
4914 4920 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4915 4921 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4916 4922 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4917 4923
4918 4924 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4919 4925
4920 4926 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4921 4927 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4922 4928 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4923 4929
4924 4930 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4925 4931 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4926 4932 crash report from Prabhu.
4927 4933
4928 4934 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4929 4935
4930 4936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4931 4937 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4932 4938 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4933 4939 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4934 4940 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4935 4941 also be useful in other cases.
4936 4942
4937 4943 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4938 4944 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4939 4945 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4940 4946
4941 4947 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4942 4948
4943 4949 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4944 4950
4945 4951 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4946 4952 installing for a new user under Windows.
4947 4953
4948 4954 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4949 4955
4950 4956 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4951 4957 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4952 4958 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4953 4959 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4954 4960 there.
4955 4961
4956 4962 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4957 4963 info to crash reports.
4958 4964
4959 4965 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4960 4966 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4961 4967 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4962 4968 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4963 4969
4964 4970 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4965 4971
4966 4972 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4967 4973 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4968 4974 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4969 4975 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.

4971 4977 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4972 4978
4973 4979 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4974 4980 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4975 4981
4976 4982 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4977 4983
4978 4984 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4979 4985 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4980 4986
4981 4987 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4982 4988
4983 4989 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4984 4990
4985 4991 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4986 4992 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4987 4993 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4988 4994
4989 4995 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4990 4996 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4991 4997 with the new auto-indent option.
4992 4998
4993 4999 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4994 5000
4995 5001 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4996 5002 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4997 5003 this class from the main Shell class.
4998 5004
4999 5005 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
5000 5006 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
5001 5007 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
5002 5008 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
5003 5009 option).
5004 5010
5005 5011 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
5006 5012 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
5007 5013 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
5008 5014 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
5009 5015 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
5010 5016
5011 5017 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
5012 5018 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
5013 5019 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5014 5020
5015 5021 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
5016 5022 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
5017 5023 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
5018 5024 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
5019 5025 tracebacks.
5020 5026
5021 5027 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
5022 5028 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
5023 5029 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
5024 5030
5025 5031 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5026 5032
5027 5033 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
5028 5034 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
5029 5035 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
5030 5036 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
5031 5037
5032 5038 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5033 5039
5034 5040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
5035 5041 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
5036 5042 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
5037 5043 for the bug report.
5038 5044
5039 5045 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5040 5046
5041 5047 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
5042 5048 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
5043 5049 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
5044 5050 report.
5045 5051
5046 5052 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5047 5053
5048 5054 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
5049 5055 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
5050 5056 end).
5051 5057
5052 5058 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
5053 5059 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
5054 5060 too often, or I would have heard about it.
5055 5061
5056 5062 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5057 5063
5058 5064 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
5059 5065 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
5060 5066 for the patch.
5061 5067
5062 5068 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5063 5069
5064 5070 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
5065 5071 functions.
5066 5072
5067 5073 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

5069 5075 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5070 5076
5071 5077 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
5072 5078 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
5073 5079 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
5074 5080 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
5075 5081 private fix.
5076 5082
5077 5083 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
5078 5084 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
5079 5085 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
5080 5086 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
5081 5087 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
5082 5088 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
5083 5089 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
5084 5090 fixed for this setup.
5085 5091
5086 5092 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
5087 5093 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
5088 5094
5089 5095 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
5090 5096
5091 5097 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5092 5098
5093 5099 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
5094 5100 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
5095 5101 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
5096 5102 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
5097 5103 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
5098 5104 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
5099 5105 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
5100 5106 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
5101 5107 annoying bug is finally fixed.
5102 5108
5103 5109 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
5104 5110 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
5105 5111 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
5106 5112
5107 5113 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
5108 5114
5109 5115 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5110 5116
5111 5117 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
5112 5118 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
5113 5119 pickle-related issue in @run).
5114 5120
5115 5121 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5116 5122
5117 5123 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
5118 5124 the autocall option at runtime.
5119 5125 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
5120 5126 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
5121 5127 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
5122 5128 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
5123 5129 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
5124 5130 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
5125 5131 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
5126 5132 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
5127 5133 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
5128 5134 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
5129 5135 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
5130 5136 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
5131 5137 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
5132 5138 pickles to save something sensible.
5133 5139
5134 5140 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
5135 5141
5136 5142 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
5137 5143 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
5138 5144 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
5139 5145
5140 5146 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5141 5147
5142 5148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
5143 5149 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
5144 5150
5145 5151 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
5146 5152
5147 5153 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
5148 5154 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
5149 5155 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
5150 5156 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
5151 5157
5152 5158 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5153 5159
5154 5160 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
5155 5161 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
5156 5162 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
5157 5163 array is non-contiguous.
5158 5164
5159 5165 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5160 5166
5161 5167 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
5162 5168 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
5163 5169 executed).
5164 5170 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
5165 5171 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
5166 5172 output.
5167 5173 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
5168 5174 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
5169 5175 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
5170 5176 changing.
5171 5177
5172 5178 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
5173 5179
5174 5180 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5175 5181
5176 5182 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
5177 5183 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
5178 5184 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
5179 5185 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5180 5186 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5181 5187 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5182 5188 like a normal command-line.
5183 5189
5184 5190 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5185 5191 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5186 5192 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5187 5193 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5188 5194
5189 5195 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5190 5196
5191 5197 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5192 5198 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5193 5199 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5194 5200 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5195 5201
5196 5202 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5197 5203
5198 5204 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5199 5205 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5200 5206 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5201 5207 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5202 5208 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5203 5209 think it's worth doing.
5204 5210

5207 5213 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5208 5214
5209 5215 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5210 5216 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5211 5217
5212 5218 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5213 5219 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5214 5220 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5215 5221 also work ok.
5216 5222
5217 5223 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49

5219 5225 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5220 5226
5221 5227 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5222 5228
5223 5229 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5224 5230 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5225 5231 of gnuplot data files.
5226 5232
5227 5233 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5228 5234
5229 5235 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5230 5236 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5231 5237
5232 5238 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5233 5239
5234 5240 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5235 5241 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5236 5242 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5237 5243 for pointing this out.
5238 5244
5239 5245 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5246
5241 5247 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5242 5248
5243 5249 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5244 5250 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5245 5251 Interactive.
5246 5252
5247 5253 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5248 5254 being imported from iplib.
5249 5255
5250 5256 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5251 5257 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5252 5258 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5253 5259 common name.
5254 5260
5255 5261 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5256 5262 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5257 5263
5258 5264 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5259 5265 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5260 5266
5261 5267 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5262 5268 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5263 5269 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5264 5270 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5265 5271 docstrings).
5266 5272
5267 5273 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5268 5274
5269 5275 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5270 5276 (inconsistent with options).
5271 5277
5272 5278 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5273 5279 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5274 5280 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5275 5281 eps output.
5276 5282
5277 5283 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5278 5284
5279 5285 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5280 5286 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5281 5287 Pinard.
5282 5288
5283 5289 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5284 5290
5285 5291 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5286 5292 history file for new users.
5287 5293 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5288 5294 user running in the .ipython dir.
5289 5295 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5290 5296 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5291 5297 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5292 5298
5293 5299 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5294 5300 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5295 5301 consistently.
5296 5302
5297 5303 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5298 5304 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5299 5305 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5300 5306 libraries I don't have access to.
5301 5307
5302 5308 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5303 5309 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5304 5310 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5305 5311 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5306 5312 report.
5307 5313
5308 5314 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5309 5315
5310 5316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5311 5317 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5312 5318 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5313 5319 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5314 5320
5315 5321 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5316 5322
5317 5323 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5318 5324 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5319 5325 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5320 5326 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5321 5327 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5322 5328 instance has been created.
5323 5329
5324 5330 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5325 5331 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5326 5332 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5327 5333 dict by hand.
5328 5334
5329 5335 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5330 5336
5331 5337 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5332 5338 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5333 5339 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5334 5340 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5335 5341 broken.
5336 5342
5337 5343 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5338 5344 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5339 5345 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5340 5346 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5341 5347
5342 5348 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5343 5349 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5344 5350 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5345 5351 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5346 5352 is a valid one.
5347 5353
5348 5354 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5349 5355 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5350 5356 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5351 5357
5352 5358 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5353 5359 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5354 5360 simply leftover junk.
5355 5361
5356 5362 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5357 5363
5358 5364 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5359 5365 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5360 5366 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5361 5367
5362 5368 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5363 5369 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5364 5370 exceptions.
5365 5371
5366 5372 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5367 5373
5368 5374 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5369 5375 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5370 5376 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5371 5377 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5372 5378 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5373 5379
5374 5380 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5375 5381 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5376 5382
5377 5383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5378 5384 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5379 5385 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5380 5386 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5381 5387 problem mentioned below.
5382 5388
5383 5389 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5384 5390
5385 5391 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5386 5392 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5387 5393
5388 5394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5389 5395 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5390 5396 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5391 5397 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5392 5398 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5393 5399
5394 5400 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5395 5401 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5396 5402 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5397 5403 actual function names.
5398 5404
5399 5405 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5400 5406 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5401 5407 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5402 5408 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5403 5409 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5404 5410 really be only function/method names.
5405 5411
5406 5412 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5407 5413
5408 5414 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5409 5415 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5410 5416 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5411 5417
5412 5418 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5413 5419
5414 5420 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5415 5421 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5416 5422 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5417 5423
5418 5424 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5419 5425 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5420 5426
5421 5427 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5422 5428 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5423 5429 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5424 5430
5425 5431 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5426 5432 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5427 5433 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5428 5434
5429 5435 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5430 5436 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5431 5437 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5432 5438
5433 5439 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5434 5440
5435 5441 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5436 5442 Gnuplot.File objects.
5437 5443
5438 5444 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5439 5445
5440 5446 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5441 5447 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5442 5448 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5443 5449
5444 5450 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5445 5451
5446 5452 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5447 5453 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5448 5454
5449 5455 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5450 5456 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5451 5457
5452 5458 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5453 5459 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5454 5460
5455 5461 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5456 5462
5457 5463 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5458 5464 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5459 5465 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5460 5466 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5461 5467
5462 5468 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5463 5469
5464 5470 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5465 5471 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5466 5472 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5467 5473
5468 5474 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5469 5475
5470 5476 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5471 5477 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5472 5478 workaround).
5473 5479
5474 5480 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5475 5481
5476 5482 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5477 5483 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5478 5484
5479 5485 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5480 5486
5481 5487 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5482 5488 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5483 5489
5484 5490 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5485 5491 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5486 5492 .strip() is called on it.
5487 5493
5488 5494
5489 5495 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5490 5496
5491 5497 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5492 5498 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5493 5499 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5494 5500
5495 5501 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5496 5502 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5497 5503
5498 5504 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5499 5505 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5500 5506 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5501 5507
5502 5508 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5503 5509
5504 5510 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5505 5511 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5506 5512 __main__.
5507 5513
5508 5514 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5509 5515 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5510 5516
5511 5517 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5512 5518 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5513 5519 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5514 5520 Mathematica behaves.
5515 5521
5516 5522 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5517 5523
5518 5524 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5519 5525 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5520 5526
5521 5527 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5522 5528 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5523 5529 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5524 5530
5525 5531 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5526 5532 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5527 5533
5528 5534 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5529 5535
5530 5536 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5531 5537 underflow problems in Numeric.
5532 5538 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5533 5539 for exact integer powers of 2.
5534 5540
5535 5541 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5536 5542 properly.
5537 5543
5538 5544 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5539 5545
5540 5546 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5541 5547 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5542 5548
5543 5549 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5544 5550
5545 5551 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5546 5552 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5547 5553
5548 5554 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5549 5555
5550 5556 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5551 5557 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5552 5558 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5553 5559 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5554 5560 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5555 5561 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5556 5562 times).
5557 5563
5558 5564 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5559 5565 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5560 5566 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5561 5567
5562 5568 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5563 5569
5564 5570 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5565 5571 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5566 5572 embedded code.
5567 5573
5568 5574 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5569 5575 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5570 5576 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5571 5577
5572 5578 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5573 5579 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5574 5580 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5575 5581 less special-casing to remember.
5576 5582
5577 5583 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5578 5584
5579 5585 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5580 5586 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5581 5587 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5582 5588 arg is not a defined object.
5583 5589 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5584 5590 a Mike Heeter idea.
5585 5591
5586 5592 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5587 5593 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5588 5594 interactive use.
5589 5595
5590 5596 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5591 5597 filenames.
5592 5598
5593 5599 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5594 5600
5595 5601 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5596 5602 initialization via another struct.
5597 5603
5598 5604 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5599 5605 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5600 5606
5601 5607 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5602 5608
5603 5609 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5604 5610 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5605 5611 too big).
5606 5612
5607 5613 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5608 5614
5609 5615 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5610 5616 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5611 5617 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5612 5618 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5613 5619
5614 5620 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5615 5621
5616 5622 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5617 5623 macros having broken.
5618 5624
5619 5625 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5620 5626
5621 5627 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5622 5628 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5623 5629 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5624 5630 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5625 5631 not to lists.
5626 5632
5627 5633 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5628 5634
5629 5635 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5630 5636 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5631 5637 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5632 5638
5633 5639 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5634 5640 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5635 5641
5636 5642 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5637 5643 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5638 5644 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5639 5645
5640 5646 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5641 5647 triple-quoted strings.
5642 5648
5643 5649 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5644 5650 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5645 5651 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5646 5652 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5647 5653 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5648 5654 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5649 5655
5650 5656 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5651 5657
5652 5658 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5653 5659 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5654 5660 ultraTB).
5655 5661
5656 5662 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5657 5663
5658 5664 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5659 5665 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5660 5666 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5661 5667 user's 'g' variables).
5662 5668
5663 5669 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5664 5670 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5665 5671 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5666 5672 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5667 5673 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5668 5674 macros.
5669 5675
5670 5676 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5671 5677
5672 5678 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5673 5679 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5674 5680
5675 5681 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5676 5682 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5677 5683 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5678 5684
5679 5685 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5680 5686
5681 5687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5682 5688 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5683 5689 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5684 5690 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5685 5691 aliases.
5686 5692
5687 5693 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5688 5694
5689 5695 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5690 5696 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5691 5697 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5692 5698 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5693 5699
5694 5700 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5695 5701
5696 5702 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5697 5703 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5698 5704 user-defined functions overrode them.
5699 5705
5700 5706 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5701 5707
5702 5708 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5703 5709 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5704 5710
5705 5711 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5706 5712
5707 5713 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5708 5714 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5709 5715 IPython.
5710 5716
5711 5717 * Released 0.2.13
5712 5718
5713 5719 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5714 5720 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5715 5721 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5716 5722 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5717 5723
5718 5724 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5719 5725
5720 5726 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5721 5727 magic properly formatted for screen.
5722 5728
5723 5729 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5724 5730 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5725 5731
5726 5732 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5727 5733 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5728 5734 etc.)
5729 5735
5730 5736 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5731 5737
5732 5738 * Released 0.2.12
5733 5739
5734 5740 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5735 5741
5736 5742 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5737 5743 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5738 5744 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5739 5745 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5740 5746 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5741 5747 an alias to @run -i.
5742 5748
5743 5749 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5744 5750 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5745 5751
5746 5752 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5747 5753
5748 5754 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5749 5755 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5750 5756 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5751 5757
5752 5758 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5753 5759 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5754 5760 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5755 5761 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5756 5762 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5757 5763 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5758 5764 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5759 5765
5760 5766 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5761 5767
5762 5768 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5763 5769 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5764 5770 printed).
5765 5771
5766 5772 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5767 5773 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5768 5774 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5769 5775
5770 5776 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5771 5777 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5772 5778
5773 5779 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5774 5780 handle magic commands in them.
5775 5781 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5776 5782 ~/mylog' now works.
5777 5783
5778 5784 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5779 5785 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5780 5786
5781 5787 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5782 5788
5783 5789 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5784 5790 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5785 5791
5786 5792 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5787 5793 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5788 5794 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5789 5795 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5790 5796 variables are in the context of an exception.
5791 5797 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5792 5798 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5793 5799
5794 5800 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5795 5801 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5796 5802
5797 5803 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5798 5804
5799 5805 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5800 5806 magics can parse options easier.
5801 5807 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5802 5808 suggested by Chris Hart.
5803 5809 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5804 5810 directory actually is in history.
5805 5811
5806 5812 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5807 5813 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5808 5814 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5809 5815
5810 5816 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5811 5817 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5812 5818 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5813 5819 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5814 5820
5815 5821 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5816 5822
5817 5823 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5818 5824 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5819 5825
5820 5826 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5821 5827 text (was a bug).
5822 5828
5823 5829 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5824 5830
5825 5831 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5826 5832 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5827 5833 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5828 5834
5829 5835 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5830 5836
5831 5837 * Released 0.2.10
5832 5838
5833 5839 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5834 5840
5835 5841 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5836 5842 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5837 5843
5838 5844 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5839 5845
5840 5846 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5841 5847 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5842 5848
5843 5849 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5844 5850
5845 5851 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5846 5852 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5847 5853 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5848 5854 __init__.py)
5849 5855
5850 5856 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5851 5857
5852 5858 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5853 5859 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5854 5860 test for being inside IPython.
5855 5861
5856 5862 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5857 5863 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5858 5864 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5859 5865 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5860 5866
5861 5867 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5862 5868
5863 5869 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5864 5870 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5865 5871 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5866 5872
5867 5873 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5868 5874 embedding example to standard user directory for
5869 5875 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5870 5876
5871 5877 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5872 5878 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5873 5879 hidden global).
5874 5880
5875 5881 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5876 5882 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5877 5883 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5878 5884 case.
5879 5885
5880 5886 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5881 5887
5882 5888 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5883 5889 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5884 5890 start.
5885 5891
5886 5892 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5887 5893 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5888 5894 Numeric or math.
5889 5895
5890 5896 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5891 5897 provided profiles. Now we have:
5892 5898 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5893 5899 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5894 5900 -physics -> same as before
5895 5901
5896 5902 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5897 5903 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5898 5904 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5899 5905 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5900 5906 string adds).
5901 5907
5902 5908 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5903 5909 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5904 5910 line with the gnuplot code).
5905 5911
5906 5912 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5907 5913
5908 5914 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5909 5915 all included files change.
5910 5916
5911 5917 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5912 5918 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5913 5919
5914 5920 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5915 5921 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5916 5922 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5917 5923
5918 5924 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5919 5925 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5920 5926
5921 5927 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5922 5928 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5923 5929
5924 5930 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5925 5931 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5926 5932 now accessible.
5927 5933
5928 5934 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5929 5935 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5930 5936 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5931 5937 removed.
5932 5938 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5933 5939 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5934 5940 don't crash.
5935 5941 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5936 5942 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5937 5943 remains available.
5938 5944
5939 5945 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5940 5946
5941 5947 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5942 5948
5943 5949 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5944 5950
5945 5951 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5946 5952 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5947 5953 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5948 5954 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5949 5955
5950 5956 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5951 5957
5952 5958 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5953 5959 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5954 5960 sync with the output counter.
5955 5961
5956 5962 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5957 5963 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5958 5964
5959 5965 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5960 5966
5961 5967 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5962 5968 readline, fix it back after each call.
5963 5969
5964 5970 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5965 5971 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5966 5972 traceback references are properly deleted.
5967 5973
5968 5974 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5969 5975 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5970 5976
5971 5977 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5972 5978
5973 5979 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5974 5980 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5975 5981 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5976 5982 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5977 5983 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5978 5984 to catch SystemExit).
5979 5985
5980 5986 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5981 5987 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5982 5988 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5983 5989 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5984 5990 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5985 5991 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5986 5992
5987 5993 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5988 5994
5989 5995 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5990 5996 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5991 5997 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5992 5998
5993 5999 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5994 6000 configurable (it should have always been so).
5995 6001
5996 6002 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5997 6003
5998 6004 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5999 6005 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
6000 6006 done in a more elegant way.
6001 6007
6002 6008 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6003 6009
6004 6010 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
6005 6011 win9x also.
6006 6012
6007 6013 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6008 6014
6009 6015 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
6010 6016 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
6011 6017
6012 6018 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6013 6019
6014 6020 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
6015 6021
6016 6022 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
6017 6023 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
6018 6024
6019 6025 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
6020 6026 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
6021 6027
6022 6028 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
6023 6029 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
6024 6030
6025 6031 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
6026 6032 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
6027 6033
6028 6034 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6029 6035
6030 6036 * Released 0.2.8
6031 6037
6032 6038 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
6033 6039 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
6034 6040 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
6035 6041 on' so that the first tab completes.
6036 6042 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
6037 6043 quotes breaking many magic commands.
6038 6044
6039 6045 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
6040 6046 installation.
6041 6047
6042 6048 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
6043 6049 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
6044 6050
6045 6051 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6046 6052
6047 6053 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
6048 6054 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
6049 6055 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
6050 6056
6051 6057 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
6052 6058 setting __name__=='__main__'.
6053 6059
6054 6060 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
6055 6061 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
6056 6062 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
6057 6063 suggestion.
6058 6064
6059 6065 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
6060 6066 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
6061 6067 Baecker for pointing this to me.
6062 6068
6063 6069 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
6064 6070 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
6065 6071
6066 6072 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6067 6073
6068 6074 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
6069 6075 which properly handles things for windows users.
6070 6076
6071 6077 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6072 6078
6073 6079 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
6074 6080 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
6075 6081 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
6076 6082 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
6077 6083 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
6078 6084
6079 6085 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
6080 6086
6081 6087 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6082 6088
6083 6089 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
6084 6090 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
6085 6091
6086 6092 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6087 6093
6088 6094 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
6089 6095 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
6090 6096 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
6091 6097 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
6092 6098 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
6093 6099 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
6094 6100
6095 6101 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6096 6102
6097 6103 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
6098 6104 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
6099 6105
6100 6106 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
6101 6107 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
6102 6108 cache at 20 values.
6103 6109
6104 6110 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
6105 6111 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
6106 6112 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
6107 6113 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
6108 6114
6109 6115 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
6110 6116 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
6111 6117 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
6112 6118 'file show').
6113 6119
6114 6120 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
6115 6121 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
6116 6122
6117 6123 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
6118 6124 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
6119 6125 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
6120 6126
6121 6127 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
6122 6128 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
6123 6129 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
6124 6130 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
6125 6131
6126 6132 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
6127 6133 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
6128 6134 the prompt strings.
6129 6135
6130 6136 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6131 6137
6132 6138 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
6133 6139 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
6134 6140
6135 6141 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
6136 6142 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
6137 6143 either globally or at each call.
6138 6144
6139 6145 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
6140 6146 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
6141 6147 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
6142 6148 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
6143 6149
6144 6150 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6145 6151
6146 6152 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
6147 6153 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
6148 6154
6149 6155 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
6150 6156
6151 6157 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
6152 6158 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
6153 6159 learning some lisp...
6154 6160
6155 6161 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6156 6162
6157 6163 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
6158 6164 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
6159 6165 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
6160 6166 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
6161 6167
6162 6168 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
6163 6169 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
6164 6170 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
6165 6171
6166 6172 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6167 6173
6168 6174 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
6169 6175 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
6170 6176 control to emacs users.
6171 6177
6172 6178 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
6173 6179 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
6174 6180 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
6175 6181 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
6176 6182 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
6177 6183 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
6178 6184
6179 6185 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6180 6186
6181 6187 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6182 6188
6183 6189 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6184 6190 @logstate magic was created.
6185 6191
6186 6192 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6187 6193 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6188 6194
6189 6195 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6190 6196
6191 6197 * Released 0.2.6.
6192 6198
6193 6199 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6194 6200 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6195 6201
6196 6202 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6197 6203 SciPy.
6198 6204
6199 6205 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6200 6206 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6201 6207 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6202 6208 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6203 6209 the section on embedding and the example file.
6204 6210
6205 6211 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6206 6212 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6207 6213 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6208 6214
6209 6215 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6210 6216 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6211 6217 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6212 6218
6213 6219 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6214 6220 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6215 6221 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6216 6222 for this to work.
6217 6223
6218 6224 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6219 6225
6220 6226 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6221 6227 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6222 6228 well inside Emacs buffers.
6223 6229 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6224 6230 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6225 6231 same bug in iplib.
6226 6232
6227 6233 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6228 6234
6229 6235 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6230 6236 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6231 6237
6232 6238 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6233 6239 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6234 6240 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6235 6241
6236 6242 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6237 6243 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6238 6244 display is done.
6239 6245
6240 6246 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6241 6247 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6242 6248
6243 6249 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6244 6250 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6245 6251 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6246 6252 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6247 6253 like in Octave.
6248 6254
6249 6255 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6250 6256 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6251 6257
6252 6258 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6253 6259
6254 6260 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6255 6261 whole file a little.
6256 6262
6257 6263 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6258 6264 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6259 6265 end-user distro.
6260 6266
6261 6267 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6262 6268 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6263 6269 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6264 6270
6265 6271 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6266 6272 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6267 6273
6268 6274 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6269 6275 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6270 6276 for @file.
6271 6277
6272 6278 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6273 6279 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6274 6280 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6275 6281 the code a bit easier.
6276 6282
6277 6283 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6278 6284 information to crash reports.
6279 6285
6280 6286 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6281 6287
6282 6288 * Released 0.2.5.
6283 6289
6284 6290 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6285 6291
6286 6292 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6287 6293 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6288 6294 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6289 6295
6290 6296 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6291 6297
6292 6298 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6293 6299 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6294 6300 have thigs work as expected.
6295 6301
6296 6302 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6297 6303 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6298 6304 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6299 6305 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6300 6306 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6301 6307
6302 6308 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6303 6309 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6304 6310
6305 6311 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6306 6312
6307 6313 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6308 6314 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6309 6315
6310 6316 * README and manual updates.
6311 6317
6312 6318 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6313 6319 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6314 6320
6315 6321 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6316 6322 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6317 6323
6318 6324 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6319 6325 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6320 6326 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6321 6327 extension-less files.
6322 6328
6323 6329 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6324 6330 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6325 6331 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6326 6332
6327 6333 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6328 6334 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6329 6335
6330 6336 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6331 6337 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6332 6338 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6333 6339 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6334 6340 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6335 6341 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6336 6342 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6337 6343 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6338 6344 least make manually a shortcut.
6339 6345
6340 6346 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6341 6347 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6342 6348 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6343 6349 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6344 6350 runtime, with @colors.
6345 6351 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6346 6352 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6347 6353
6348 6354 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6349 6355
6350 6356 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6351 6357 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6352 6358 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6353 6359 read the startup info.
6354 6360
6355 6361 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6356 6362
6357 6363 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6358 6364 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6359 6365 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6360 6366 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6361 6367 type the better off we are.
6362 6368 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6363 6369 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6364 6370 before.
6365 6371
6366 6372 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6367 6373
6368 6374 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6369 6375 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6370 6376 this later.
6371 6377
6372 6378 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6373 6379
6374 6380 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6375 6381 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6376 6382 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6377 6383
6378 6384 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6379 6385
6380 6386 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6381 6387 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6382 6388 spitting out only offset information as before.
6383 6389 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6384 6390 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6385 6391
6386 6392 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6387 6393
6388 6394 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6389 6395 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6390 6396 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6391 6397 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6392 6398 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6393 6399 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6394 6400 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6395 6401 macros.
6396 6402
6397 6403 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6398 6404
6399 6405 * Released 0.2.4.
6400 6406
6401 6407 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6402 6408 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6403 6409 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6404 6410 re-execution.
6405 6411
6406 6412 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6407 6413
6408 6414 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6409 6415 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6410 6416 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6411 6417 documented, of course :)
6412 6418 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6413 6419 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6414 6420 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6415 6421
6416 6422 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6417 6423
6418 6424 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6419 6425 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6420 6426 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6421 6427
6422 6428 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6423 6429
6424 6430 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6425 6431 so I wanted an updated release).
6426 6432
6427 6433 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6428 6434
6429 6435 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6430 6436 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6431 6437 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6432 6438 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6433 6439 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6434 6440
6435 6441 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6436 6442
6437 6443 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6438 6444 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6439 6445
6440 6446 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6441 6447
6442 6448 * Released 0.2.2.
6443 6449
6444 6450 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6445 6451 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6446 6452 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6447 6453 versions.
6448 6454
6449 6455 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6450 6456 (MayaVi author).
6451 6457
6452 6458 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6453 6459
6454 6460 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6455 6461 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6456 6462 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6457 6463 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6458 6464 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6459 6465
6460 6466 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6461 6467 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6462 6468
6463 6469 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6464 6470
6465 6471 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6466 6472 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6467 6473 nice, full-blown manual.
6468 6474
6469 6475 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6470 6476 trivially simple for end-users.
6471 6477
6472 6478 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6473 6479
6474 6480 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6475 6481 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6476 6482
6477 6483 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6478 6484 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6479 6485
6480 6486 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6481 6487
6482 6488 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6483 6489 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6484 6490 people to later upgrade versions.
6485 6491
6486 6492 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6487 6493 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6488 6494 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6489 6495 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6490 6496 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6491 6497 SystemExit).
6492 6498
6493 6499 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6494 6500 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6495 6501 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6496 6502 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6497 6503 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6498 6504
6499 6505 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6500 6506 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6501 6507 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6502 6508
6503 6509 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6504 6510
6505 6511 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6506 6512 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6507 6513
6508 6514 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6509 6515 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6510 6516 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6511 6517 html docs out of it will be found).
6512 6518
6513 6519 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6514 6520
6515 6521 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6516 6522 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6517 6523
6518 6524 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6519 6525
6520 6526 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6521 6527 visiting any directory in _dh.
6522 6528
6523 6529 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6524 6530 it out with numbers.
6525 6531
6526 6532 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6527 6533
6528 6534 * Released 0.1.22
6529 6535
6530 6536 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6531 6537 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6532 6538
6533 6539 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6534 6540 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6535 6541 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6536 6542 screen the necessary mail command.
6537 6543
6538 6544 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6539 6545 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6540 6546 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6541 6547
6542 6548 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6543 6549
6544 6550 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6545 6551 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6546 6552 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6547 6553 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6548 6554 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6549 6555 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6550 6556 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6551 6557 its name).
6552 6558
6553 6559 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6554 6560 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6555 6561 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6556 6562 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6557 6563
6558 6564 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6559 6565
6560 6566 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6561 6567 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6562 6568
6563 6569 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6564 6570 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6565 6571
6566 6572 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6567 6573 completion of @-starting lines.
6568 6574
6569 6575 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6570 6576 info that other files can read from.
6571 6577
6572 6578 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6573 6579 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6574 6580 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6575 6581 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6576 6582 restores produce less errors.
6577 6583
6578 6584 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6579 6585 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6580 6586 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6581 6587 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6582 6588 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6583 6589
6584 6590 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6585 6591 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6586 6592 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6587 6593 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6588 6594 with this, finally...
6589 6595
6590 6596 * Small documentation updates.
6591 6597
6592 6598 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6593 6599 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6594 6600 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6595 6601
6596 6602 * File renaming:
6597 6603 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6598 6604 ipplib --> iplib
6599 6605 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6600 6606
6601 6607 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6602 6608 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6603 6609 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6604 6610
6605 6611 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6606 6612 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6607 6613 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6608 6614
6609 6615 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6610 6616
6611 6617 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6612 6618 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6613 6619 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6614 6620 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6615 6621
6616 6622 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6617 6623 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6618 6624 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6619 6625
6620 6626 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6621 6627 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6622 6628 road.
6623 6629
6624 6630 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6625 6631 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6626 6632 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6627 6633 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6628 6634
6629 6635 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6630 6636
6631 6637 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6632 6638 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6633 6639 file accordingly.
6634 6640
6635 6641 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6636 6642 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6637 6643 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6638 6644 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6639 6645 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6640 6646 separators and proper padding and justification.
6641 6647
6642 6648 * Released 0.1.20
6643 6649
6644 6650 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6645 6651 copy operation was missing).
6646 6652
6647 6653 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6648 6654 its output is always quite long.
6649 6655
6650 6656 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6651 6657 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6652 6658 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6653 6659 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6654 6660
6655 6661 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6656 6662 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6657 6663 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6658 6664 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6659 6665
6660 6666 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6661 6667
6662 6668 * Released 0.1.19
6663 6669
6664 6670 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6665 6671 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6666 6672
6667 6673 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6668 6674 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6669 6675 comment on 'macros').
6670 6676
6671 6677 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6672 6678
6673 6679 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6674 6680 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6675 6681 statements and takes parameters.
6676 6682
6677 6683 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6678 6684
6679 6685 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6680 6686
6681 6687 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6682 6688
6683 6689 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6684 6690 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6685 6691
6686 6692 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6687 6693 ipythonrc-* samples.
6688 6694
6689 6695 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6690 6696 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6691 6697
6692 6698 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6693 6699 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6694 6700
6695 6701 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6696 6702
6697 6703 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6698 6704 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6699 6705 convention.
6700 6706
6701 6707 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6702 6708 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6703 6709
6704 6710 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6705 6711
6706 6712 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6707 6713 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6708 6714
6709 6715 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6710 6716 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6711 6717 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6712 6718 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6713 6719 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6714 6720 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6715 6721 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6716 6722 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6717 6723 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6718 6724 works.
6719 6725
6720 6726 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6721 6727
6722 6728 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6723 6729 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6724 6730 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6725 6731 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6726 6732 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6727 6733 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6728 6734 all the editors, less does that.
6729 6735
6730 6736 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6731 6737
6732 6738 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6733 6739 crash IPython.
6734 6740
6735 6741 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6736 6742
6737 6743 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6738 6744
6739 6745 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6740 6746 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6741 6747 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6742 6748 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6743 6749 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6744 6750 work in _ofind.
6745 6751
6746 6752 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6747 6753 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6748 6754 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6749 6755 (famous last words).
6750 6756
6751 6757 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6752 6758 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6753 6759 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6754 6760 windows).
6755 6761
6756 6762 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6757 6763 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6758 6764
6759 6765 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6760 6766 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6761 6767 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6762 6768 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6763 6769
6764 6770 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6765 6771 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6766 6772 licences and announce it.
6767 6773
6768 6774 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6769 6775 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6770 6776 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6771 6777 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6772 6778
6773 6779 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6774 6780
6775 6781 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6776 6782 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6777 6783 lists.
6778 6784
6779 6785 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6780 6786 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6781 6787 are ok.
6782 6788
6783 6789 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6784 6790 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6785 6791
6786 6792 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6787 6793 this to Nathan.
6788 6794
6789 6795 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6790 6796
6791 6797 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6792 6798 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6793 6799 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6794 6800
6795 6801 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6796 6802 accepted). Cleaner.
6797 6803
6798 6804 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6799 6805 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6800 6806 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6801 6807 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6802 6808 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6803 6809
6804 6810 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6805 6811
6806 6812 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6807 6813 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6808 6814 history after a log replay.
6809 6815
6810 6816 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6811 6817 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6812 6818 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6813 6819 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6814 6820 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6815 6821 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6816 6822
6817 6823 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6818 6824 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6819 6825 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6820 6826 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6821 6827 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6822 6828
6823 6829 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6824 6830
6825 6831 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6826 6832 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6827 6833 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6828 6834 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6829 6835 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6830 6836 one: cache_size.
6831 6837
6832 6838 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6833 6839 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6834 6840 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6835 6841 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6836 6842
6837 6843 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6838 6844 @ or not).
6839 6845
6840 6846 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6841 6847 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6842 6848 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6843 6849 about licensing).
6844 6850
6845 6851 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6846 6852
6847 6853 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6848 6854 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6849 6855
6850 6856 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6851 6857 screen size for page() operations.
6852 6858
6853 6859 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6854 6860 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6855 6861 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6856 6862 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6857 6863
6858 6864 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6859 6865 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6860 6866 option name tables are clearer.
6861 6867
6862 6868 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6863 6869 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6864 6870 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6865 6871 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6866 6872 was also changed a little to align better.
6867 6873
6868 6874 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6869 6875 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6870 6876
6871 6877 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6872 6878 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6873 6879 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6874 6880
6875 6881 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6876 6882 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6877 6883 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6878 6884 he needs it.
6879 6885
6880 6886 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6881 6887
6882 6888 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6883 6889 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6884 6890 warning on it.
6885 6891
6886 6892 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6887 6893 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6888 6894 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6889 6895 was too long).
6890 6896
6891 6897 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6892 6898 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6893 6899 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6894 6900
6895 6901 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6896 6902 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6897 6903 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6898 6904 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6899 6905 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6900 6906 function for the same task.
6901 6907
6902 6908 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6903 6909
6904 6910 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6905 6911
6906 6912 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6907 6913 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6908 6914 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6909 6915
6910 6916 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6911 6917 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6912 6918 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6913 6919
6914 6920 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6915 6921 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6916 6922 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6917 6923
6918 6924 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6919 6925
6920 6926 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6921 6927
6922 6928 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6923 6929 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6924 6930 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6925 6931
6926 6932 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6927 6933
6928 6934 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6929 6935
6930 6936 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6931 6937
6932 6938 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6933 6939 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6934 6940 maintain.
6935 6941
6936 6942 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6937 6943 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6938 6944 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6939 6945 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6940 6946 compiled and startup is much faster.
6941 6947
6942 6948 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6943 6949 while without messing too much more with the code.
6944 6950
6945 6951 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6946 6952
6947 6953 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6948 6954
6949 6955 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6950 6956 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6951 6957 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6952 6958
6953 6959 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6954 6960 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6955 6961
6956 6962 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6957 6963 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6958 6964 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6959 6965 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6960 6966 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6961 6967 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6962 6968
6963 6969 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6964 6970 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6965 6971
6966 6972 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6967 6973 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6968 6974
6969 6975 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6970 6976 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6971 6977 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6972 6978 excessive.
6973 6979
6974 6980 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6975 6981 types (only first word was displayed).
6976 6982
6977 6983 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6978 6984
6979 6985 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6980 6986
6981 6987 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6982 6988 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6983 6989 travel along many directories.
6984 6990
6985 6991 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6986 6992 arguments with default values.
6987 6993
6988 6994 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6989 6995
6990 6996 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6991 6997 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6992 6998
6993 6999 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6994 7000
6995 7001 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6996 7002 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6997 7003 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6998 7004
6999 7005 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7000 7006
7001 7007 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
7002 7008 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
7003 7009 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
7004 7010 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
7005 7011 from the outside and implement extensions for special
7006 7012 purposes.
7007 7013
7008 7014 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
7009 7015 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
7010 7016 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
7011 7017 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
7012 7018 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
7013 7019 one can simply say
7014 7020 a = 4.2 m/s**2
7015 7021 or even
7016 7022 a = 4.2 m/s^2
7017 7023
7018 7024 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
7019 7025 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
7020 7026 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
7021 7027
7022 7028 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
7023 7029 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
7024 7030 they were defined in
7025 7031
7026 7032 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
7027 7033
7028 7034 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
7029 7035 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
7030 7036 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
7031 7037 these to show the same information.
7032 7038
7033 7039 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
7034 7040
7035 7041 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
7036 7042 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
7037 7043 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
7038 7044 backtracked on the whole class!)
7039 7045
7040 7046 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
7041 7047 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
7042 7048 everything works as before).
7043 7049
7044 7050 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
7045 7051 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
7046 7052 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
7047 7053 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
7048 7054
7049 7055 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7050 7056
7051 7057 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
7052 7058
7053 7059 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
7054 7060 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
7055 7061
7056 7062 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
7057 7063 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
7058 7064 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
7059 7065 this later.
7060 7066
7061 7067 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
7062 7068
7063 7069 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
7064 7070 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
7065 7071 line option.
7066 7072
7067 7073 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
7068 7074 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
7069 7075 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
7070 7076 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
7071 7077 didn't return a result).
7072 7078
7073 7079 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
7074 7080
7075 7081 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
7076 7082
7077 7083 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
7078 7084 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
7079 7085 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
7080 7086 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
7081 7087
7082 7088 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7083 7089
7084 7090 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
7085 7091
7086 7092 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
7087 7093 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
7088 7094
7089 7095 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
7090 7096 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
7091 7097 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
7092 7098 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
7093 7099 in with the next entry:
7094 7100
7095 7101 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
7096 7102 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
7097 7103 handling.
7098 7104
7099 7105 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
7100 7106 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
7101 7107 namespace protection and documentation.
7102 7108
7103 7109 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7104 7110
7105 7111 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
7106 7112 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
7107 7113
7108 7114 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
7109 7115
7110 7116 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7111 7117
7112 7118 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
7113 7119
7114 7120 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
7115 7121 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
7116 7122 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
7117 7123 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
7118 7124 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
7119 7125
7120 7126 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
7121 7127 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
7122 7128 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
7123 7129
7124 7130 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
7125 7131
7126 7132 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
7127 7133 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
7128 7134
7129 7135 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7130 7136
7131 7137 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
7132 7138
7133 7139 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
7134 7140 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
7135 7141 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
7136 7142 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
7137 7143 ScientificPython.
7138 7144
7139 7145 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7140 7146
7141 7147 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
7142 7148 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
7143 7149 when called with no args.
7144 7150
7145 7151 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
7146 7152 closely.
7147 7153
7148 7154 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
7149 7155 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
7150 7156 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
7151 7157 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
7152 7158 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
7153 7159
7154 7160 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7155 7161
7156 7162 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
7157 7163 customizations there and access them via import.
7158 7164
7159 7165 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7160 7166
7161 7167 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
7162 7168
7163 7169 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
7164 7170 Nathan and Janko.
7165 7171
7166 7172 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
7167 7173
7168 7174 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
7169 7175 too long.
7170 7176
7171 7177 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
7172 7178
7173 7179 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
7174 7180 ?sin and sin?
7175 7181 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7176 7182 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7177 7183 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7178 7184 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.

7181 7187
7182 7188 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7183 7189
7184 7190 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7185 7191 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7186 7192
7187 7193 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7188 7194 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7189 7195 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7190 7196 me).
7191 7197
7192 7198 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7193 7199 protected (reasonably).
7194 7200
7195 7201 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7196 7202 note through it (it was too long).
7197 7203
7198 7204 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7199 7205 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7200 7206 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7201 7207 parameters.

7205 7211
7206 7212 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7207 7213 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7208 7214 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7209 7215
7210 7216 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7211 7217 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7212 7218 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7213 7219
7214 7220 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7215 7221
7216 7222 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7217 7223
7218 7224 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7219 7225
7220 7226 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7221 7227 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7222 7228 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7223 7229 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7224 7230 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7225 7231 break.
7226 7232
7227 7233 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7228 7234 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7229 7235 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7230 7236 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7231 7237 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7232 7238 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7233 7239
7234 7240 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7235 7241 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7236 7242 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7237 7243 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7238 7244 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7239 7245 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7240 7246 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7241 7247 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7242 7248 trick.
7243 7249
7244 7250 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7245 7251 session restoring.
7246 7252
7247 7253 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7248 7254 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7249 7255 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7250 7256 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7251 7257 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7252 7258
7253 7259 * Started ChangeLog.
