2
3 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
4 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.

1 6 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 7
3 8 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
4 9 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
5 10 IPython instance.
6 11
7 12 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
8 13
9 14 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
10 15 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
11 16 'Iptl' template notation,
12 17
13 18 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
14 19 safer & faster 'import' completer.
15 20
16 21 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
17 22 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
18 23
19 24 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
20 25 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
21 26 defmacro() etc.)
22 27
23 28 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

38 43 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
39 44
40 45 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now

46 51
47 52 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
48 53
49 54 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
50 55
51 56 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
52 57
53 58 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
54 59 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
55 60 every %run call.
56 61
57 62 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
58 63 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
59 64 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
60 65
61 66 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
62 67
63 68 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
64 69 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
65 70 Stefan for the fix.
66 71
67 72 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
68 73 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
69 74 him.
70 75
71 76 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
72 77 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
73 78 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
74 79 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
75 80
76 81 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
77 82 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
78 83 each runcode access.
79 84
80 85 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
81 86 message.
82 87
83 88 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
84 89
85 90 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
86 91 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
87 92 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
88 93
89 94 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
90 95 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
91 96 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
92 97 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
93 98 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
94 99 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
95 100 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
96 101 anything up until we know if it actually works.
97 102
98 103 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
99 104 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
100 105 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
101 106 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
102 107 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
103 108
104 109 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
105 110
106 111 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
107 112 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
108 113 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
109 114
110 115 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
111 116
112 117 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
113 118 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
114 119 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
115 120
116 121 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
117 122
118 123 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
119 124 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
120 125 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
121 126 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
122 127 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
123 128
124 129 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
125 130
126 131 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
127 132 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
128 133
129 134 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
130 135 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
131 136 details in comments left in the code.
132 137
133 138 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
134 139 similar to what we had for Numeric.
135 140
136 141 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
137 142 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
138 143 than readline. Closes #109.
139 144
140 145 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
141 146 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
142 147
143 148 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
144 149
145 150 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
146 151 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
147 152 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
148 153 ongoing Unicode support work.
149 154
150 155 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
151 156 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
152 157 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
153 158 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
154 159
155 160 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
156 161
157 162 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
158 163 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
159 164
160 165 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
161 166
162 167 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
163 168 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
164 169 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
165 170
166 171 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
167 172
168 173 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
169 174 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
170 175 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
171 176 long definition lines for functions.
172 177
173 178 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
174 179
175 180 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
176 181 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
177 182 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
178 183 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
179 184
180 185 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
181 186
182 187 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
183 188
184 189 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
185 190
186 191 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
187 192 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
188 193 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
189 194
190 195 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
191 196 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
192 197
193 198 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
194 199 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
195 200
196 201 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
197 202
198 203 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
199 204 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
200 205 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
201 206
202 207 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
203 208
204 209 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
205 210 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
206 211
207 212 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
208 213 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
209 214 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
210 215 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
211 216 sometimes return "" as last element.
212 217
213 218 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
214 219
215 220 * IPython/completer.py
216 221 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
217 222 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
218 223 would be completed too early.
219 224
220 225 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
221 226 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
222 227 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
223 228 backwards compatibility.
224 229
225 230 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
226 231 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
227 232 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
228 233 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
229 234 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
230 235 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
231 236 also works when debugging.
232 237
233 238 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
234 239 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
235 240
236 241 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
237 242 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
238 243 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
239 244
240 245 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
241 246 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
242 247 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
243 248
244 249 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
245 250 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
246 251
247 252 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
248 253
249 254 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
250 255 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
251 256 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
252 257
253 258 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
254 259
255 260 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
256 261 to be installed alongside igrid.
257 262 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
258 263 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
259 264 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
260 265
261 266 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
262 267
263 268 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
264 269 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
265 270 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
266 271
267 272 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
268 273
269 274 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
270 275 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
271 276
272 277 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
273 278 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
274 279
275 280 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
276 281
277 282 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
278 283 as the default browser.
279 284 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
280 285 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
281 286 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
282 287 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
283 288
284 289 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
285 290
286 291 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
287 292 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
288 293 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
289 294
290 295 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
291 296
292 297 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
293 298 Close help window if exiting igrid.
294 299
295 300 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
296 301
297 302 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
298 303 before calling functions from readline.
299 304
300 305 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
301 306
302 307 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
303 308 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
304 309 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
305 310 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
306 311 falls back to idump.
307 312
308 313 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
309 314
310 315 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
311 316 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
312 317 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
313 318 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
314 319
315 320 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
316 321
317 322 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
318 323 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
319 324 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
320 325 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
321 326 %magic with explicit % prefix.
322 327
323 328 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
324 329
325 330 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
326 331 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
327 332
328 333 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
329 334
330 335 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
331 336 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
332 337 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
333 338 one wants those instead.
334 339
335 340 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
336 341 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
337 342 instead.
338 343
339 344 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
340 345
341 346 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
342 347 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
343 348 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
344 349 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
345 350
346 351 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
347 352
348 353 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
349 354 stop marks.
350 355 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
351 356 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
352 357 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
353 358
354 359 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
355 360
356 361 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
357 362 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
358 363 sumbmitted to upstream.
359 364
360 365 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
361 366
362 367 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
363 368 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
364 369 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
365 370 running into an empty levels list later.
366 371
367 372 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
368 373
369 374 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
370 375 for the noitem object.

373 378
374 379 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
375 380 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
376 381 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
377 382 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
378 383
379 384 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
380 385
381 386 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
382 387 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
383 388 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
384 389 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
385 390 filenames.
386 391
387 392 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
388 393 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
389 394 out-of-process ipython code.
390 395
391 396 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
392 397 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
393 398 doctesting.
394 399
395 400 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
396 401
397 402 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
398 403
399 404 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
400 405 not being correctly recognized.
401 406
402 407 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
403 408
404 409 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
405 410 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
406 411 only item.
407 412
408 413 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
409 414 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
410 415 infinite recursion for one line strings).
411 416
412 417 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
413 418
414 419 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
415 420 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
416 421 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
417 422
418 423 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
419 424
420 425 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
421 426 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
422 427 "%env VISUAL=jed".
423 428
424 429 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
425 430
426 431 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
427 432 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
428 433 but I'm not exactly sure why).
429 434
430 435 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
431 436 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
432 437
433 438 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
434 439
435 440 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
436 441 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
437 442
438 443 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
439 444 the time during IPython startup is spent.
440 445
441 446 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
442 447
443 448 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
444 449
445 450 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
446 451
447 452 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
448 453
449 454 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
450 455
451 456 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
452 457 to work properly on posix too
453 458
454 459 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
455 460
456 461 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
457 462
458 463 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
459 464 prefix + "/scripts".
460 465
461 466 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
462 467
463 468 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
464 469
465 470 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
466 471 if they already exist
467 472
468 473 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
469 474
470 475 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
471 476
472 477 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
473 478
474 479 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
475 480
476 481 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
477 482 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
478 483 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
479 484
480 485 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
481 486
482 487 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
483 488 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
484 489 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
485 490
486 491 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
487 492 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
488 493 in ipy_user_conf.py
489 494
490 495
491 496 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
492 497 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
493 498 as IPython script.
494 499
495 500 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
496 501
497 502 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
498 503
499 504 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
500 505 is called before any exception has occurred.
501 506
502 507 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
503 508
504 509 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
505 510 to translate /'s to \'s again.
506 511
507 512 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
508 513 backslash.
509 514
510 515 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
511 516
512 517 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
513 518
514 519 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
515 520 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
516 521 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
517 522
518 523 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
519 524 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
520 525
521 526 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
522 527 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
523 528
524 529 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
525 530
526 531 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
527 532
528 533 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
529 534 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
530 535
531 536 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
532 537 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
533 538 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
534 539 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
535 540 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
536 541 mapped to "%" now.
537 542 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
538 543
539 544 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
540 545
541 546 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
542 547 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
543 548 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
544 549 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
545 550
546 551 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
547 552
548 553 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
549 554 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
550 555 for shell escapes.
551 556
552 557 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
553 558
554 559 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
555 560 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
556 561 vcs_completer.
557 562
558 563 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
559 564
560 565 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
561 566 directly instead!
562 567
563 568 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
564 569
565 570 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
566 571 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
567 572
568 573 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
569 574 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
570 575 explicit.
571 576
572 577 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
573 578 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
574 579
575 580 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
576 581
577 582 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
578 583
579 584 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
580 585 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
581 586 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
582 587 implementation for Text is useless.
583 588
584 589 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
585 590
586 591 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
587 592
588 593 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
589 594
590 595 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
591 596 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
592 597 "profile"
593 598
594 599 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
595 600
596 601 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
597 602 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
598 603
599 604 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
600 605 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
601 606
602 607
603 608 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
604 609 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
605 610 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
606 611
607 612 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
608 613
609 614 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
610 615 with one from UserConfig.
611 616
612 617 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
613 618 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
614 619
615 620 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
616 621 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
617 622 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
618 623
619 624 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
620 625
621 626 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
622 627
623 628 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
624 629
625 630 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
626 631
627 632 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
628 633
629 634 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
630 635
631 636 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
632 637
633 638 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 639
635 640 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
636 641 by eval of expr with dots.
637 642
638 643 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
639 644
640 645 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
641 646 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
642 647 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
643 648 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
644 649 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
645 650 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
646 651
647 652 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
648 653
649 654 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
650 655 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
651 656 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
652 657
653 658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
654 659 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
655 660 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
656 661 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
657 662 funtionality in ipconfig.
658 663
659 664 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
660 665 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
661 666 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
662 667 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
663 668
664 669 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
665 670
666 671 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
667 672 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
668 673 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
669 674 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
670 675 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
671 676 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
672 677 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
673 678 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
674 679 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
675 680 descriptors.
676 681
677 682 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
678 683 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
679 684
680 685 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
681 686 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
682 687
683 688 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
684 689
685 690 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
686 691
687 692 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
688 693
689 694 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
690 695 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
691 696 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
692 697
693 698 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
694 699 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
695 700 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
696 701
697 702 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
698 703 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
699 704 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
700 705 ipy_stock_completers.
701 706
702 707 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
703 708
704 709 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
705 710
706 711 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
707 712 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
708 713 when filtering possible completions.
709 714
710 715 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
711 716
712 717 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
713 718 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
714 719 function
715 720
716 721
717 722 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
718 723
719 724 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
720 725 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
721 726 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
722 727 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
723 728 SVN completer.
724 729
725 730 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
726 731 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
727 732 name is %led.
728 733
729 734 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
730 735
731 736 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
732 737 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
733 738 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
734 739
735 740 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
736 741 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
737 742 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
738 743 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
739 744 hook name is 'complete_command'.
740 745
741 746 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
742 747
743 748 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
744 749 Numeric leftovers.
745 750
746 751 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
747 752 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
748 753
749 754 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
750 755 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
751 756
752 757 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
753 758 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
754 759
755 760 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
756 761 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
757 762 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
758 763
759 764 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
760 765
761 766 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
762 767 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
763 768 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
764 769
765 770 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
766 771 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
767 772
768 773 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
769 774
770 775 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
771 776 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
772 777 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
773 778
774 779 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
775 780
776 781 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
777 782 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
778 783 internal crash handler.
779 784
780 785 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
781 786 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
782 787 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
783 788 at the request of SAGE.
784 789
785 790 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
786 791
787 792 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
788 793 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
789 794
790 795 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
791 796 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
792 797 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
793 798 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
794 799
795 800 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
796 801 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
797 802 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
798 803
799 804 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
800 805
801 806 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
802 807 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
803 808 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
804 809
805 810 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
806 811 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
807 812
808 813 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
809 814
810 815 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
811 816 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
812 817 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
813 818 Stefan.
814 819
815 820 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
816 821
817 822 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
818 823 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
819 824 sys.stdout.close().
820 825
821 826 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
822 827
823 828 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
824 829 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
825 830 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
826 831 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
827 832
828 833 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
829 834 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
830 835 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
831 836
832 837 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
833 838 2.5.
834 839
835 840 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
836 841 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
837 842 interactively.
838 843
839 844 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
840 845
841 846 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
842 847 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
843 848
844 849 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
845 850
846 851 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
847 852 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
848 853 or only files.
849 854
850 855 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
851 856
852 857 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
853 858 they broke unittest
854 859
855 860 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
856 861
857 862 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
858 863 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
859 864 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
860 865 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
861 866
862 867 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
863 868
864 869 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
865 870 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
866 871 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
867 872 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
868 873 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
869 874
870 875 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
871 876
872 877 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
873 878 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
874 879
875 880 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
876 881
877 882 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
878 883 the mode argument).
879 884
880 885 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
881 886
882 887 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
883 888 not running under IPython.
884 889
885 890 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
886 891 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
887 892 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
888 893 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
889 894 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
890 895 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
891 896 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
892 897 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
893 898 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
894 899 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
895 900 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
896 901 are still supported.
897 902
898 903 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
899 904 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
900 905 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
901 906 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
902 907
903 908 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
904 909 encoding into methods.
905 910
906 911 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
907 912
908 913 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
909 914 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
910 915
911 916 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
912 917
913 918 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
914 919 non existing attributes.
915 920
916 921 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
917 922
918 923 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
919 924 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
920 925
921 926 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
922 927
923 928 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
924 929 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
925 930
926 931 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
927 932
928 933 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
929 934 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
930 935 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
931 936
932 937 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
933 938
934 939 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
935 940 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
936 941 Stefan van der Walt.
937 942
938 943 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
939 944
940 945 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
941 946 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
942 947
943 948 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
944 949
945 950 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
946 951 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
947 952 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
948 953
949 954 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
950 955
951 956 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
952 957 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
953 958 attributes.
954 959
955 960 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
956 961
957 962 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
958 963 commands into the methods implementing them.
959 964
960 965 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
961 966
962 967 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
963 968 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
964 969 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
965 970
966 971 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
967 972
968 973 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
969 974 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
970 975
971 976 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
972 977
973 978 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
974 979 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
975 980
976 981 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
977 982
978 983 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
979 984 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
980 985 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
981 986 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
982 987 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
983 988 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
984 989 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
985 990 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
986 991 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
987 992 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
988 993 the x key to "delete".
989 994
990 995 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
991 996
992 997 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
993 998 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
994 999 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
995 1000 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
996 1001
997 1002 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
998 1003 prompt
999 1004
1000 1005 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1001 1006
1002 1007 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1003 1008
1004 1009 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1005 1010 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1006 1011 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1007 1012 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1008 1013
1009 1014 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1010 1015
1011 1016 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1012 1017 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1013 1018 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1014 1019 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1015 1020 doesn't work properly yet.
1016 1021
1017 1022 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1018 1023
1019 1024 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1020 1025 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1021 1026 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1022 1027
1023 1028 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1024 1029
1025 1030 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1026 1031 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1027 1032 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1028 1033 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1029 1034 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1030 1035 execute commands.
1031 1036
1032 1037 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1033 1038
1034 1039 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1035 1040 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1036 1041
1037 1042 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1038 1043
1039 1044 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1040 1045 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1041 1046
1042 1047 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1043 1048
1044 1049 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1045 1050 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1046 1051 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1047 1052
1048 1053 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1049 1054
1050 1055 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1051 1056
1052 1057 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1053 1058 Repo tagged and release cut.
1054 1059
1055 1060 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1056 1061
1057 1062 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1058 1063 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1059 1064
1060 1065 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1061 1066 (for %upgrade)
1062 1067
1063 1068 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1064 1069
1065 1070 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1066 1071 instead of looping 20 times.
1067 1072
1068 1073 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1069 1074 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1070 1075 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1071 1076
1072 1077 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1073 1078 testing for release on 06/06.
1074 1079
1075 1080 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1076 1081
1077 1082 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1078 1083 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1079 1084 live in people's PATH.
1080 1085
1081 1086 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1082 1087 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1083 1088 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1084 1089 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1085 1090 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1086 1091
1087 1092 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1088 1093 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1089 1094
1090 1095 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1091 1096
1092 1097 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1093 1098 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1094 1099
1095 1100 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1096 1101
1097 1102 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1098 1103 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1099 1104 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1100 1105
1101 1106 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1102 1107
1103 1108 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1104 1109 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1105 1110 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1106 1111 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1107 1112
1108 1113 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1109 1114 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1110 1115 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1111 1116 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1112 1117
1113 1118 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1114 1119 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1115 1120 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1116 1121 work.
1117 1122
1118 1123 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1119 1124
1120 1125 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1121 1126 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1122 1127
1123 1128 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1124 1129 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1125 1130 author William Stein.
1126 1131
1127 1132 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1128 1133 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1129 1134 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1130 1135 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1131 1136 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1132 1137 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1133 1138 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1134 1139 objects more easily.
1135 1140
1136 1141 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1137 1142
1138 1143 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1139 1144 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1140 1145 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1141 1146 by Jeffrey Collins.
1142 1147
1143 1148 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1144 1149 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1145 1150 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1146 1151 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1147 1152
1148 1153 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1149 1154 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1150 1155 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1151 1156 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1152 1157
1153 1158 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1154 1159 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1155 1160 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1156 1161 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1157 1162 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1158 1163 compatibility)
1159 1164
1160 1165 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1161 1166 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1162 1167 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1163 1168
1164 1169 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1165 1170 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1166 1171 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1167 1172 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1168 1173 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1169 1174
1170 1175 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1171 1176 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1172 1177 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1173 1178
1174 1179 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1175 1180 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1176 1181 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1177 1182 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1178 1183 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1179 1184 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1180 1185 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1181 1186
1182 1187 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1183 1188 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1184 1189 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1185 1190
1186 1191 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1187 1192 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1188 1193 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1189 1194
1190 1195 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1191 1196 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1192 1197
1193 1198 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1194 1199
1195 1200 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1196 1201 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1197 1202 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1198 1203 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1199 1204 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1200 1205 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1201 1206 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1202 1207 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1203 1208 while running under SAGE.
1204 1209
1205 1210 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1206 1211
1207 1212 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1208 1213 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1209 1214 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1210 1215 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1211 1216
1212 1217 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1213 1218
1214 1219 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1215 1220 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1216 1221 updated.
1217 1222
1218 1223 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1219 1224 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1220 1225 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1221 1226 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1222 1227 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1223 1228
1224 1229 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1225 1230 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1226 1231 so more testing is needed...
1227 1232
1228 1233 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1229 1234
1230 1235 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1231 1236 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1232 1237 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1233 1238 when doing complex debugging.
1234 1239 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1235 1240 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1236 1241 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1237 1242 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1238 1243
1239 1244 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1240 1245
1241 1246 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1242 1247 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1243 1248 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1244 1249 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1245 1250
1246 1251 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1247 1252
1248 1253 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1249 1254 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1250 1255
1251 1256 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1252 1257
1253 1258 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1254 1259 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1255 1260 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1256 1261 been the one to acquire it.
1257 1262
1258 1263 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1259 1264
1260 1265 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1261 1266
1262 1267 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1263 1268
1264 1269 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1265 1270 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1266 1271 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1267 1272
1268 1273 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1269 1274 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1270 1275 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1271 1276 properly flush the output cache.
1272 1277
1273 1278 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1274 1279 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1275 1280
1276 1281 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1277 1282
1278 1283 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1279 1284 are quoted
1280 1285
1281 1286 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1282 1287
1283 1288 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1284 1289 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1285 1290
1286 1291 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1287 1292 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1288 1293
1289 1294 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1290 1295
1291 1296 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1292 1297 %upgrade magic
1293 1298
1294 1299 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1295 1300
1296 1301 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1297 1302 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1298 1303 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1299 1304
1300 1305 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1301 1306
1302 1307 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1303 1308 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1304 1309
1305 1310 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1306 1311 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1307 1312 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1308 1313 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1309 1314 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1310 1315
1311 1316 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1312 1317
1313 1318 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1314 1319 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1315 1320
1316 1321 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1317 1322
1318 1323 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1319 1324 Torsten Marek.
1320 1325
1321 1326 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1322 1327
1323 1328 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1324 1329 line ranges works again.
1325 1330
1326 1331 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1327 1332
1328 1333 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1329 1334 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1330 1335 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1331 1336 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1332 1337 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1333 1338
1334 1339 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1335 1340 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1336 1341 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1337 1342 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1338 1343 more.
1339 1344
1340 1345 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1341 1346
1342 1347 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1343 1348 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1344 1349
1345 1350 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1346 1351
1347 1352 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1348 1353 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1349 1354
1350 1355 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1351 1356
1352 1357 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1353 1358
1354 1359 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1355 1360
1356 1361 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1357 1362
1358 1363 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1359 1364 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1360 1365 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1361 1366
1362 1367 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1363 1368
1364 1369 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1365 1370 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1366 1371 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1367 1372 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1368 1373
1369 1374 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1370 1375 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1371 1376
1372 1377 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1373 1378 contributed by marienz to close
1374 1379 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1375 1380
1376 1381 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1377 1382
1378 1383 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1379 1384
1380 1385 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1381 1386 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1382 1387 nonsense.
1383 1388
1384 1389 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1385 1390
1386 1391 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1387 1392 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1388 1393
1389 1394 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1390 1395
1391 1396 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1392 1397
1393 1398 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1394 1399 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1395 1400
1396 1401 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1397 1402
1398 1403 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1399 1404 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1400 1405 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1401 1406 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1402 1407 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1403 1408 SAGE team.
1404 1409 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1405 1410 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1406 1411
1407 1412 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1408 1413 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1409 1414 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1410 1415 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1411 1416 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1412 1417
1413 1418 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1414 1419
1415 1420 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1416 1421 correctly now (on Linux)
1417 1422
1418 1423 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1419 1424 warnings
1420 1425
1421 1426 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1422 1427
1423 1428 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1424 1429
1425 1430
1426 1431 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1427 1432
1428 1433 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1429 1434 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1430 1435 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1431 1436 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1432 1437 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1433 1438 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1434 1439 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1435 1440 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1436 1441
1437 1442 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1438 1443
1439 1444 * aliases can now be %store'd
1440 1445
1441 1446 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1442 1447 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1443 1448 at __init__.
1444 1449
1445 1450 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1446 1451 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1447 1452
1448 1453 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1449 1454
1450 1455 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1451 1456 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1452 1457 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1453 1458
1454 1459 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1455 1460
1456 1461 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1457 1462
1458 1463 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1459 1464
1460 1465 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1461 1466 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1462 1467 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1463 1468 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1464 1469
1465 1470 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1466 1471 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1467 1472
1468 1473 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1469 1474
1470 1475 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1471 1476 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1472 1477 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1473 1478 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1474 1479
1475 1480 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1476 1481 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1477 1482 usage.
1478 1483
1479 1484 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1480 1485 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1481 1486 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1482 1487
1483 1488 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1484 1489
1485 1490 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1486 1491 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1487 1492
1488 1493 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1489 1494 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1490 1495 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1491 1496
1492 1497 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1493 1498
1494 1499 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1495 1500
1496 1501 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1497 1502
1498 1503 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1499 1504 are now more helpful:
1500 1505 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )

1502 1507 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1503 1508
1504 1509 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1505 1510 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1506 1511
1507 1512 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1508 1513
1509 1514 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1510 1515 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1511 1516
1512 1517 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1513 1518 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1514 1519 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1515 1520
1516 1521 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1517 1522
1518 1523
1519 1524 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1520 1525
1521 1526 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1522 1527 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1523 1528
1524 1529 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1525 1530
1526 1531 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1527 1532 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1528 1533 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1529 1534 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1530 1535 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1531 1536 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1532 1537
1533 1538 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1534 1539
1535 1540 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1536 1541 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1537 1542 \python24\scripts).
1538 1543
1539 1544 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1540 1545 egg.
1541 1546
1542 1547 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1543 1548
1544 1549 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1545 1550
1546 1551 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1547 1552
1548 1553 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1549 1554
1550 1555 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1551 1556
1552 1557 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1553 1558 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1554 1559 \python24\scripts).
1555 1560
1556 1561 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1557 1562 egg.
1558 1563
1559 1564 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1560 1565
1561 1566 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1562 1567 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1563 1568 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1564 1569
1565 1570 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1566 1571 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1567 1572 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1568 1573 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1569 1574
1570 1575 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1571 1576 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1572 1577 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1573 1578 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1574 1579 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1575 1580 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1576 1581 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1577 1582 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1578 1583 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1579 1584 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1580 1585 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1581 1586 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1582 1587
1583 1588 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1584 1589
1585 1590 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1586 1591 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1587 1592 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1588 1593 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1589 1594
1590 1595 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1591 1596
1592 1597 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1593 1598 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1594 1599 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1595 1600 importing extensions easy.
1596 1601
1597 1602 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1598 1603 classes / instances of those classes.
1599 1604
1600 1605 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1601 1606 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1602 1607 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1603 1608 the user.
1604 1609
1605 1610 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1606 1611 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1607 1612 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1608 1613
1609 1614 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1610 1615
1611 1616 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1612 1617 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1613 1618 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1614 1619 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1615 1620 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1616 1621 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1617 1622 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1618 1623 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1619 1624 the method.
1620 1625
1621 1626 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1622 1627
1623 1628 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1624 1629 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1625 1630
1626 1631 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1627 1632
1628 1633 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1629 1634 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1630 1635 Vivian.
1631 1636
1632 1637 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1633 1638 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1634 1639 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1635 1640 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1636 1641 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1637 1642
1638 1643 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1639 1644
1640 1645 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1641 1646 that returns file contents on exit.
1642 1647
1643 1648 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1644 1649 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1645 1650 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1646 1651 sc files=ls
1647 1652 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1648 1653 print p,p.mtime
1649 1654
1650 1655 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1651 1656 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1652 1657 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1653 1658 instead of syntax error.
1654 1659
1655 1660
1656 1661 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1657 1662
1658 1663 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1659 1664 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1660 1665 data.
1661 1666
1662 1667 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1663 1668 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1664 1669 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1665 1670 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1666 1671
1667 1672 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1668 1673 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1669 1674 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1670 1675 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1671 1676 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1672 1677 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1673 1678
1674 1679 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1675 1680
1676 1681 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1677 1682 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1678 1683 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1679 1684 current dir.
1680 1685
1681 1686 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1682 1687 had to create new files.
1683 1688
1684 1689 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1685 1690 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1686 1691 future.
1687 1692
1688 1693 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1689 1694 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1690 1695 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1691 1696
1692 1697
1693 1698 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1694 1699
1695 1700 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1696 1701 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1697 1702 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1698 1703 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1699 1704 later.
1700 1705
1701 1706 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1702 1707 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1703 1708
1704 1709 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1705 1710
1706 1711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1707 1712 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1708 1713 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1709 1714 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1710 1715 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1711 1716 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1712 1717
1713 1718 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1714 1719
1715 1720 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1716 1721 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1717 1722 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1718 1723 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1719 1724 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1720 1725 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1721 1726 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1722 1727 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1723 1728 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1724 1729 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1725 1730
1726 1731 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1727 1732 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1728 1733 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1729 1734 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1730 1735
1731 1736 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1732 1737 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1733 1738 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1734 1739 "setup.py install" between changes).
1735 1740
1736 1741 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1737 1742 if 1:
1738 1743 !ls
1739 1744 !!ls
1740 1745
1741 1746 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1742 1747
1743 1748 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1744 1749 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1745 1750 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1746 1751 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1747 1752
1748 1753 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1749 1754 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1750 1755 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1751 1756
1752 1757 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1753 1758
1754 1759 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1755 1760 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1756 1761 win32.
1757 1762
1758 1763 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1759 1764
1760 1765 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1761 1766
1762 1767 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1763 1768 ready for release.
1764 1769
1765 1770 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1766 1771 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1767 1772 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1768 1773 where to copy the info from.
1769 1774
1770 1775 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1771 1776
1772 1777 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1773 1778 support in the release tools as well.
1774 1779
1775 1780 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1776 1781
1777 1782 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1778 1783 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1779 1784 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1780 1785 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1781 1786
1782 1787 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1783 1788 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1784 1789 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1785 1790
1786 1791 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1787 1792 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1788 1793
1789 1794 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1790 1795 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1791 1796 printer not to work.
1792 1797
1793 1798 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1794 1799
1795 1800 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1796 1801 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1797 1802
1798 1803 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1799 1804
1800 1805 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1801 1806 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1802 1807 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1803 1808
1804 1809 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1805 1810 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1806 1811 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1807 1812
1808 1813 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1809 1814 Ville's patch.
1810 1815
1811 1816 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1812 1817
1813 1818 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1814 1819 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1815 1820 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1816 1821 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1817 1822 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1818 1823 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1819 1824 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1820 1825
1821 1826 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1822 1827 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1823 1828 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1824 1829
1825 1830 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1826 1831
1827 1832 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1828 1833 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1829 1834
1830 1835 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1831 1836 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1832 1837 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1833 1838 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1834 1839 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1835 1840 twister).
1836 1841
1837 1842 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1838 1843 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1839 1844 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1840 1845
1841 1846 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1842 1847 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1843 1848 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1844 1849 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1845 1850 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1846 1851 something inside the dis module.
1847 1852
1848 1853 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1849 1854
1850 1855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1851 1856 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1852 1857 follows the discussion in
1853 1858 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1854 1859
1855 1860 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1856 1861 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1857 1862 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1858 1863
1859 1864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1860 1865 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1861 1866 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1862 1867
1863 1868 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1864 1869 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1865 1870 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1866 1871 speed up this routine.
1867 1872
1868 1873 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1869 1874 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1870 1875 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1871 1876 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1872 1877 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1873 1878 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1874 1879 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1875 1880 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1876 1881
1877 1882 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1878 1883 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1879 1884 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1880 1885
1881 1886 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1882 1887 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1883 1888 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1884 1889 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1885 1890 setters don't do anything).
1886 1891
1887 1892 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1888 1893
1889 1894 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1890 1895 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1891 1896 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1892 1897 falling out of sync...)
1893 1898
1894 1899 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1895 1900 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1896 1901 as loops).
1897 1902
1898 1903 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1899 1904 win32 system access.
1900 1905
1901 1906 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1902 1907
1903 1908 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1904 1909 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1905 1910 thread-safe.
1906 1911 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1907 1912 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1908 1913 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1909 1914 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1910 1915 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1911 1916 can still happen.
1912 1917 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1913 1918 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1914 1919 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1915 1920 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1916 1921 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1917 1922 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1918 1923 cleanly.
1919 1924
1920 1925 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1921 1926 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1922 1927 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1923 1928 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1924 1929 users' persisted data.
1925 1930
1926 1931 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1927 1932 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1928 1933 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1929 1934 multiline input (such as macros).
1930 1935
1931 1936 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1932 1937 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1933 1938 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1934 1939 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1935 1940 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1936 1941 informative).
1937 1942
1938 1943 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1939 1944 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1940 1945
1941 1946 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1942 1947 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1943 1948 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1944 1949
1945 1950 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1946 1951 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1947 1952 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1948 1953 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1949 1954 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1950 1955 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1951 1956 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1952 1957 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1953 1958 details.
1954 1959
1955 1960 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1956 1961 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1957 1962 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1958 1963 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1959 1964 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1960 1965
1961 1966 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1962 1967 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1963 1968 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1964 1969 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1965 1970 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1966 1971
1967 1972 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1968 1973 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1969 1974 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1970 1975 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1971 1976 options to %logstart. Closes
1972 1977 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1973 1978 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1974 1979
1975 1980 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1976 1981
1977 1982 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1978 1983 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1979 1984 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1980 1985 list:
1981 1986 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1982 1987
1983 1988 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1984 1989
1985 1990 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1986 1991 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1987 1992 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1988 1993 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1989 1994
1990 1995 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1991 1996 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1992 1997 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1993 1998 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1994 1999 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1995 2000
1996 2001 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1997 2002 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1998 2003 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1999 2004 true by default.
2000 2005
2001 2006 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2002 2007 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2003 2008 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2004 2009 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2005 2010
2006 2011 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2007 2012
2008 2013 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2009 2014 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2010 2015 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2011 2016 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2012 2017 version committed).
2013 2018
2014 2019 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2015 2020 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2016 2021 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2017 2022 discussion on the user list.
2018 2023
2019 2024 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2020 2025 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2021 2026 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2022 2027 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2023 2028
2024 2029 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2025 2030
2026 2031 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2027 2032 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2028 2033 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2029 2034
2030 2035 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2031 2036 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2032 2037 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2033 2038
2034 2039 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2035 2040 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2036 2041 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2037 2042 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2038 2043 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2039 2044 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2040 2045 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2041 2046 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2042 2047 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2043 2048 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2044 2049 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2045 2050 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2046 2051 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2047 2052 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2048 2053 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2049 2054 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2050 2055 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2051 2056 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2052 2057 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2053 2058 branch refactoring.
2054 2059
2055 2060 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2056 2061
2057 2062 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2058 2063 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2059 2064
2060 2065 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2061 2066 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2062 2067 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2063 2068 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2064 2069 worked correctly).
2065 2070
2066 2071 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2067 2072 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2068 2073 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2069 2074
2070 2075 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2071 2076
2072 2077 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2073 2078 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2074 2079 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2075 2080 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2076 2081 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2077 2082 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2078 2083 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2079 2084 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2080 2085
2081 2086 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2082 2087
2083 2088 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2084 2089 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2085 2090 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2086 2091 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2087 2092 on this.
2088 2093
2089 2094 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2090 2095
2091 2096 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2092 2097 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2093 2098 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2094 2099 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2095 2100 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2096 2101
2097 2102 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2098 2103
2099 2104 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2100 2105 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2101 2106 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2102 2107 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2103 2108
2104 2109 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2105 2110
2106 2111 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2107 2112 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2108 2113 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2109 2114
2110 2115 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2111 2116
2112 2117 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2113 2118 startup time.
2114 2119
2115 2120 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2116 2121 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2117 2122 it's working in all cases.
2118 2123
2119 2124 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2120 2125 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2121 2126 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2122 2127 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2123 2128 per-search basis.
2124 2129
2125 2130 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2126 2131
2127 2132 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2128 2133 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2129 2134 of a patch by Jorgen.
2130 2135
2131 2136 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2132 2137
2133 2138 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2134 2139 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2135 2140 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2136 2141
2137 2142 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2138 2143
2139 2144 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2140 2145 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2141 2146 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2142 2147 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2143 2148
2144 2149 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2145 2150
2146 2151 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2147 2152 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2148 2153 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2149 2154 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2150 2155 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2151 2156 implementing this functionality.
2152 2157
2153 2158 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2154 2159
2155 2160 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2156 2161 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2157 2162 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2158 2163 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2159 2164 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2160 2165 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2161 2166 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2162 2167
2163 2168 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2164 2169
2165 2170 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2166 2171 reported by Stephen Walton.
2167 2172
2168 2173 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2169 2174
2170 2175 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2171 2176
2172 2177 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2173 2178 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2174 2179
2175 2180 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2176 2181
2177 2182 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2178 2183 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2179 2184
2180 2185 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2181 2186 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2182 2187
2183 2188 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2184 2189
2185 2190 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2186 2191 finishing.
2187 2192
2188 2193 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2189 2194 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2190 2195
2191 2196 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2192 2197 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2193 2198 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2194 2199
2195 2200 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2196 2201 code, handy in general.
2197 2202
2198 2203 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2199 2204 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2200 2205 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2201 2206
2202 2207 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2203 2208
2204 2209 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2205 2210 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2206 2211 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2207 2212 testing, though.
2208 2213 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2209 2214 like this before...
2210 2215
2211 2216 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2212 2217 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2213 2218
2214 2219 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2215 2220 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2216 2221
2217 2222 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2218 2223
2219 2224 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2220 2225 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2221 2226 F. Mantegazza.
2222 2227
2223 2228 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2224 2229
2225 2230 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2226 2231 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2227 2232 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2228 2233
2229 2234 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2230 2235 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2231 2236 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2232 2237 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2233 2238 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2234 2239 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2235 2240
2236 2241 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2237 2242
2238 2243 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2239 2244 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2240 2245 beyond readline-based environments.
2241 2246
2242 2247 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2243 2248
2244 2249 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2245 2250
2246 2251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2247 2252 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2248 2253 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2249 2254 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2250 2255 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2251 2256
2252 2257 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2253 2258
2254 2259 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2255 2260 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2256 2261 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2257 2262
2258 2263 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2259 2264
2260 2265 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2261 2266
2262 2267 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2263 2268
2264 2269 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2265 2270 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2266 2271 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2267 2272 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2268 2273 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2269 2274 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2270 2275
2271 2276 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2272 2277
2273 2278 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2274 2279
2275 2280 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2276 2281
2277 2282 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2278 2283 invalid $HOME under win32.
2279 2284
2280 2285 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2281 2286
2282 2287 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2283 2288 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2284 2289 simpler and a bit faster.
2285 2290
2286 2291 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2287 2292 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2288 2293 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2289 2294 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2290 2295 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2291 2296
2292 2297 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2293 2298 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2294 2299 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2295 2300
2296 2301 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2297 2302 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2298 2303
2299 2304 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2300 2305 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2301 2306 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2302 2307 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2303 2308 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2304 2309 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2305 2310 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2306 2311
2307 2312 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2308 2313
2309 2314 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2310 2315
2311 2316 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2312 2317
2313 2318 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2314 2319 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2315 2320
2316 2321 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2317 2322
2318 2323 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2319 2324 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2320 2325 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2321 2326 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2322 2327 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2323 2328 for the contribution.
2324 2329
2325 2330 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2326 2331 slightly modified version of the patch in
2327 2332 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2328 2333 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2329 2334 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2330 2335
2331 2336 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2332 2337
2333 2338 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2334 2339 I/O a bit more.
2335 2340
2336 2341 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2337 2342 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2338 2343
2339 2344 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2341 2346 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2342 2347
2343 2348 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2344 2349 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2345 2350 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2346 2351 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2347 2352
2348 2353 readline_remove_delims -/~
2349 2354

2353 2358 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2354 2359
2355 2360 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2356 2361 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2357 2362 <eli@gondolin.net>
2358 2363
2359 2364 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2360 2365
2361 2366 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2362 2367 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2363 2368
2364 2369 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2365 2370
2366 2371 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2367 2372 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2368 2373 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2369 2374
2370 2375 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2371 2376
2372 2377 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2373 2378 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2374 2379
2375 2380 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2376 2381
2377 2382 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2378 2383 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2379 2384
2380 2385 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2381 2386 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2382 2387 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2383 2388 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2384 2389 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2385 2390 for more details.
2386 2391
2387 2392 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2388 2393 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2389 2394 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2390 2395 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2391 2396
2392 2397 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2393 2398
2394 2399 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2395 2400 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2396 2401 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2397 2402 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2398 2403 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2399 2404
2400 2405 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2401 2406 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2402 2407 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2403 2408
2404 2409 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2405 2410
2406 2411 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2407 2412
2408 2413 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2409 2414
2410 2415 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2411 2416 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2412 2417 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2413 2418 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2414 2419 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2415 2420
2416 2421 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2417 2422
2418 2423 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2419 2424
2420 2425 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2421 2426 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2422 2427 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2423 2428 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2424 2429 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2425 2430
2426 2431 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2427 2432 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2428 2433 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2429 2434 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2430 2435 take the text parameter.
2431 2436
2432 2437 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2433 2438 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2434 2439 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2435 2440 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2436 2441 pysh profile to include the line
2437 2442
2438 2443 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2439 2444
2440 2445 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2441 2446 delete pysh.py and the line
2442 2447
2443 2448 execfile pysh.py
2444 2449
2445 2450 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2446 2451
2447 2452 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2448 2453 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2449 2454 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2450 2455 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2451 2456 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2452 2457
2453 2458 * pysh.py:
2454 2459
2455 2460 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2461
2457 2462 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2458 2463 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2459 2464 want it can still turn it off.
2460 2465
2461 2466 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2462 2467 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2463 2468 off by default.
2464 2469
2465 2470 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2466 2471 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2467 2472 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2468 2473 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2469 2474 calls.
2470 2475
2471 2476 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2472 2477
2473 2478 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2474 2479 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2475 2480 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2476 2481
2477 2482 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2478 2483
2479 2484 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2480 2485 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2481 2486 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2482 2487 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2483 2488
2484 2489 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2485 2490 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2486 2491 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2487 2492 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2488 2493
2489 2494 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2490 2495
2491 2496 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2492 2497 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2493 2498
2494 2499 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2495 2500 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2496 2501 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2497 2502 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2498 2503 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2499 2504 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2500 2505 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2501 2506 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2502 2507
2503 2508 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2504 2509
2505 2510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2506 2511 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2507 2512 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2508 2513 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2509 2514 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2510 2515 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2511 2516 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2512 2517 add new completers at runtime.
2513 2518
2514 2519 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2515 2520
2516 2521 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2517 2522 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2518 2523 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2519 2524 ? system.
2520 2525
2521 2526 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2522 2527 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2523 2528 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2524 2529 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2525 2530 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2526 2531 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2527 2532 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2528 2533 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2529 2534
2530 2535 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2531 2536
2532 2537 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2533 2538 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2534 2539 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2535 2540 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2536 2541 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2537 2542
2538 2543 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2539 2544 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2540 2545 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2541 2546 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2542 2547 add:
2543 2548
2544 2549 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2545 2550 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2546 2551
2547 2552 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2548 2553
2549 2554 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2550 2555 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2551 2556 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2552 2557 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2553 2558
2554 2559 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2555 2560 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2556 2561 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2557 2562 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2558 2563 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2559 2564 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2560 2565 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2561 2566 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2562 2567 further, simply bind them to any other name.

2565 2570
2566 2571 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2567 2572 prompt namespace handling.
2568 2573
2569 2574 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2570 2575
2571 2576 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2572 2577 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2573 2578 trips the emacs python mode).
2574 2579 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2575 2580 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2576 2581 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2577 2582 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2578 2583 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2579 2584 calls will be made at runtime.
2580 2585
2581 2586 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2582 2587
2583 2588 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2584 2589 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2585 2590 the call to %history.
2586 2591
2587 2592 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2588 2593
2589 2594 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2590 2595
2591 2596 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2592 2597 ipmagic() function calls.
2593 2598
2594 2599 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2595 2600 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2596 2601
2597 2602 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2598 2603
2599 2604 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2600 2605 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2601 2606 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2602 2607 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2603 2608 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2604 2609 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2605 2610 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2606 2611 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2607 2612
2608 2613 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2609 2614
2610 2615 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2611 2616 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2612 2617 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2613 2618 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2614 2619 Ville Vainio.
2615 2620
2616 2621 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2617 2622
2618 2623 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2619 2624 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2620 2625 define the ones they personally like.
2621 2626
2622 2627 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2623 2628
2624 2629 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2625 2630 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2626 2631
2627 2632 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2628 2633
2629 2634 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2630 2635 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2631 2636
2632 2637 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2633 2638 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2634 2639 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2635 2640 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2636 2641 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2637 2642 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2638 2643 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2639 2644 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2640 2645
2641 2646 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2642 2647 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2643 2648 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2644 2649 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2645 2650 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2646 2651
2647 2652 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2648 2653
2649 2654 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2650 2655 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2651 2656 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2652 2657
2653 2658 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2654 2659 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2655 2660 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2656 2661
2657 2662 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2658 2663
2659 2664 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2660 2665
2661 2666 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2662 2667 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2663 2668 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2664 2669 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2665 2670 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2666 2671 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2667 2672 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2668 2673 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2669 2674 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2670 2675 system is a separate implementation).
2671 2676
2672 2677 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2673 2678 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2674 2679 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2675 2680 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2676 2681 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2677 2682 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2678 2683 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2679 2684 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2680 2685 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2681 2686 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2682 2687 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2683 2688
2684 2689 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2685 2690
2686 2691 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2687 2692 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2688 2693 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2689 2694 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2690 2695 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2691 2696 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2692 2697 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2693 2698 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2694 2699
2695 2700 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2696 2701
2697 2702 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2698 2703 previous call produced a syntax error.
2699 2704
2700 2705 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2701 2706 classes without constructor.
2702 2707
2703 2708 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2709
2705 2710 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2706 2711 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2707 2712 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2708 2713 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2709 2714 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2710 2715 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2711 2716 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2712 2717
2713 2718 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2714 2719
2715 2720 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2716 2721 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2717 2722
2718 2723 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2719 2724
2720 2725 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2721 2726 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2722 2727 optimizations.
2723 2728
2724 2729 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2725 2730 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2726 2731
2727 2732 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2728 2733
2729 2734 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2730 2735 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2731 2736 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2732 2737 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2733 2738 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2734 2739 avoid annoying the lists further.
2735 2740
2736 2741 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2737 2742
2738 2743 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2739 2744
2740 2745 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2741 2746 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2742 2747 norm definitions.
2743 2748 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2744 2749 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2745 2750 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2746 2751
2747 2752 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2748 2753 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2749 2754 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2750 2755 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2751 2756 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2752 2757
2753 2758 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2754 2759 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2755 2760 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2756 2761 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2757 2762
2758 2763 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2759 2764 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2760 2765 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2761 2766 fixes.
2762 2767
2763 2768 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2764 2769 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2765 2770 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2766 2771 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2767 2772 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2768 2773 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2769 2774 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2770 2775
2771 2776 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2772 2777
2773 2778 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2774 2779
2775 2780 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2776 2781 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2777 2782 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2778 2783 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2779 2784 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2780 2785 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2781 2786 Panel.
2782 2787
2783 2788 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2784 2789 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2785 2790 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2786 2791 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2787 2792 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2788 2793
2789 2794 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2790 2795
2791 2796 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2792 2797 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2793 2798
2794 2799 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2795 2800
2796 2801 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2797 2802
2798 2803 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2799 2804 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2800 2805 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2801 2806 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2802 2807 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2803 2808 python shell.
2804 2809
2805 2810 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2806 2811 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2807 2812 on assignments. This closes
2808 2813 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2809 2814 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2810 2815 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2811 2816
2812 2817 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2813 2818
2814 2819 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2815 2820 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2816 2821
2817 2822 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2818 2823
2819 2824 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2820 2825
2821 2826 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2822 2827 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2823 2828
2824 2829 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2825 2830
2826 2831 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2827 2832 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2828 2833 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2829 2834
2830 2835 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2831 2836
2832 2837 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2833 2838 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2834 2839 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2835 2840
2836 2841 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2837 2842
2838 2843 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2839 2844 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2840 2845 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2841 2846
2842 2847 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2843 2848 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2844 2849 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2845 2850
2846 2851 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2847 2852
2848 2853 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2849 2854 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2850 2855
2851 2856 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2852 2857
2853 2858 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2854 2859 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2855 2860 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2856 2861
2857 2862 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2858 2863
2859 2864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2860 2865 reported by Prabhu.
2861 2866 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2862 2867 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2863 2868 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2864 2869
2865 2870 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2866 2871 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2867 2872
2868 2873 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2869 2874 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2870 2875 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2871 2876 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2872 2877 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2873 2878 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2874 2879
2875 2880 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2876 2881
2877 2882 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2878 2883
2879 2884 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2880 2885 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2881 2886 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2882 2887 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2883 2888
2884 2889 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2885 2890 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2886 2891
2887 2892 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2888 2893 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2889 2894 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2890 2895 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2891 2896 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2892 2897 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2893 2898 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2894 2899
2895 2900 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2896 2901 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2897 2902 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2898 2903
2899 2904 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2900 2905 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2901 2906 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2902 2907 before.
2903 2908
2904 2909 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2905 2910
2906 2911 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2907 2912 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2908 2913 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2909 2914 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2910 2915
2911 2916 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2912 2917 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2913 2918 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2914 2919 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2915 2920 timing very short-running code.
2916 2921
2917 2922 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2918 2923 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2919 2924 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2920 2925 utility.
2921 2926
2922 2927 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2923 2928 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2924 2929 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2925 2930 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2926 2931 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2927 2932 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2928 2933 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2929 2934 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2930 2935
2931 2936 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2932 2937 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2933 2938 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2934 2939
2935 2940 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2936 2941 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2937 2942 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2938 2943 is for).
2939 2944
2940 2945 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2941 2946 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2942 2947 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2943 2948 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2944 2949 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2945 2950
2946 2951 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2947 2952
2948 2953 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2949 2954 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2950 2955 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2951 2956 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2952 2957 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2953 2958
2954 2959 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2955 2960 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2956 2961 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2957 2962 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2958 2963 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2959 2964 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2960 2965
2961 2966 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2962 2967
2963 2968 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2964 2969 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2965 2970
2966 2971 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2967 2972
2968 2973 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2969 2974 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2970 2975 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2971 2976 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2972 2977
2973 2978 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2974 2979
2975 2980 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2976 2981
2977 2982 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2978 2983 setting with -d option.
2979 2984
2980 2985 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2981 2986 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2982 2987 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2983 2988 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2984 2989
2985 2990 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2986 2991
2987 2992 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2988 2993 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2989 2994
2990 2995 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2991 2996 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2992 2997 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2993 2998 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2994 2999 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2995 3000 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2996 3001 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2997 3002 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2998 3003 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2999 3004 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3000 3005 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3001 3006
3002 3007 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3003 3008
3004 3009 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3005 3010 cache when empty lines were present.
3006 3011
3007 3012 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3008 3013
3009 3014 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3010 3015 options for WX and GTK.
3011 3016
3012 3017 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3013 3018
3014 3019 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3015 3020 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3016 3021 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3017 3022 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3018 3023 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3019 3024 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3020 3025 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3021 3026
3022 3027 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3023 3028 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3024 3029
3025 3030 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3026 3031
3027 3032 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3028 3033 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3029 3034 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3030 3035 many thanks.
3031 3036
3032 3037 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3033 3038 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3034 3039 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3035 3040
3036 3041 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3037 3042
3038 3043 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3039 3044 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3040 3045 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3041 3046
3042 3047 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3043 3048
3044 3049 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3045 3050
3046 3051 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3047 3052 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3048 3053 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3049 3054
3050 3055 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3056
3052 3057 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3053 3058 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3054 3059
3055 3060 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3056 3061
3057 3062 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3058 3063 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3059 3064 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3060 3065 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3061 3066 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3062 3067 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3063 3068 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3064 3069
3065 3070 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3066 3071
3067 3072 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3068 3073 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3069 3074 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3070 3075 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3071 3076
3072 3077 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3073 3078 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3074 3079
3075 3080 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3076 3081
3077 3082 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3078 3083 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3079 3084
3080 3085 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3081 3086 use throughout ipython.
3082 3087
3083 3088 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3084 3089 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3085 3090
3086 3091 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3087 3092 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3088 3093 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3089 3094 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3090 3095
3091 3096 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3092 3097
3093 3098 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3094 3099 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3095 3100 report by Francesc Alted.
3096 3101
3097 3102 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3098 3103
3099 3104 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3100 3105 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3101 3106
3102 3107 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3108
3104 3109 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3105 3110 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3106 3111 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3107 3112 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3108 3113 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3109 3114 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3110 3115 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3111 3116 correctly set.
3112 3117
3113 3118 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3114 3119
3115 3120 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3116 3121 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3117 3122 import requirement of PEP-328.
3118 3123
3119 3124 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3120 3125 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3121 3126 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3122 3127 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3123 3128
3124 3129 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3125 3130
3126 3131 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3127 3132
3128 3133 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3129 3134 via a normal python function call.
3130 3135
3131 3136 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3132 3137 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3133 3138 2.4.
3134 3139
3135 3140 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3136 3141
3137 3142 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3138 3143 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3139 3144 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3140 3145 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3141 3146 is given to the user).
3142 3147
3143 3148 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3144 3149
3145 3150 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3146 3151 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3147 3152 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3148 3153 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3149 3154
3150 3155 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3151 3156 python 2.2.
3152 3157
3153 3158 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3154 3159 banner arg for embedded customization.
3155 3160
3156 3161 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3157 3162 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3158 3163 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3159 3164 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3160 3165 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3161 3166 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3162 3167
3163 3168 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3164 3169 minor changes to debian dir.
3165 3170
3166 3171 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3167 3172 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3168 3173 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3169 3174 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3170 3175
3171 3176 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3172 3177
3173 3178 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3174 3179 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3175 3180 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3176 3181 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3177 3182 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3178 3183
3179 3184 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3180 3185
3181 3186 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3182 3187 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3183 3188
3184 3189 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3185 3190
3186 3191 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3187 3192 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3188 3193
3189 3194 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3190 3195
3191 3196 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3192 3197
3193 3198 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3194 3199 updated.
3195 3200
3196 3201 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3197 3202
3198 3203 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3199 3204 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3200 3205 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3201 3206 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3202 3207 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3203 3208
3204 3209 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3205 3210 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3206 3211 split regexp. Closes
3207 3212 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3208 3213 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3209 3214 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3210 3215 extensions.
3211 3216
3212 3217 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3213 3218 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3214 3219 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3215 3220 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3216 3221 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3217 3222
3218 3223 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3219 3224 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3220 3225 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3221 3226 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3222 3227
3223 3228 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3224 3229 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3225 3230
3226 3231 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3227 3232 fine-tune banner.
3228 3233
3229 3234 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3230 3235 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3231 3236
3232 3237 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3233 3238
3234 3239 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3235 3240 were missing.
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3238 3243 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3239 3244 valid at the command line.
3240 3245
3241 3246 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3242 3247 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3243 3248
3244 3249 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3245 3250
3246 3251 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3247 3252 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3248 3253 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3249 3254
3250 3255 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3251 3256
3252 3257 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3253 3258 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3254 3259 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3255 3260 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3256 3261 continue to use the standard profiler.
3257 3262
3258 3263 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3259 3264
3260 3265 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3261 3266 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3262 3267 close.
3263 3268
3264 3269 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3265 3270
3266 3271 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3267 3272 in Magic and ultraTB.
3268 3273
3269 3274 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3270 3275
3271 3276 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3272 3277 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3273 3278 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3274 3279 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3275 3280
3276 3281 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3277 3282 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3278 3283 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3279 3284 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3280 3285 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3281 3286 infrastructure in place.
3282 3287
3283 3288 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3289
3285 3290 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3286 3291
3287 3292 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3288 3293 the pylab profile.
3289 3294
3290 3295 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3291 3296
3292 3297 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3293 3298
3294 3299 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3295 3300 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3296 3301 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3297 3302 itself.
3298 3303
3299 3304 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3300 3305 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3301 3306 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3302 3307 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3303 3308 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3304 3309 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3305 3310 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3306 3311 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3307 3312
3308 3313 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3309 3314 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3310 3315
3311 3316 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3312 3317
3313 3318 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3314 3319 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3315 3320 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3316 3321
3317 3322 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3318 3323
3319 3324 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3320 3325 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3321 3326
3322 3327 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3323 3328
3324 3329 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3325 3330
3326 3331 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3327 3332
3328 3333 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3329 3334
3330 3335 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3331 3336 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3332 3337 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3333 3338
3334 3339 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3335 3340
3336 3341 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3337 3342 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3338 3343 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3339 3344 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3340 3345 works.
3341 3346
3342 3347 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3343 3348 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3344 3349 practice.
3345 3350
3346 3351 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3352
3348 3353 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3349 3354 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3350 3355 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3351 3356
3352 3357 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3353 3358
3354 3359 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3355 3360 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3356 3361 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3357 3362 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3358 3363
3359 3364 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3360 3365
3361 3366 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3362 3367 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3363 3368 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3364 3369 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3365 3370
3366 3371 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3367 3372
3368 3373 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3369 3374
3370 3375 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3371 3376 fail for any number.
3372 3377 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3373 3378 empty bookmarks.
3374 3379
3375 3380 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3376 3381
3377 3382 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3378 3383
3379 3384 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3380 3385
3381 3386 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3382 3387 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3383 3388
3384 3389 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3385 3390 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3386 3391
3387 3392 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3388 3393
3389 3394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3390 3395 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3391 3396 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3392 3397 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3393 3398 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3394 3399
3395 3400 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3396 3401
3397 3402 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3398 3403 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3399 3404
3400 3405 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3401 3406
3402 3407 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3403 3408 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3404 3409 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3405 3410 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3406 3411
3407 3412 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3408 3413 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3409 3414 Schmolck.
3410 3415
3411 3416 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3412 3417
3413 3418 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3414 3419
3415 3420 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3416 3421 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3417 3422
3418 3423 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3419 3424 optimizations.
3420 3425
3421 3426 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3422 3427 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3423 3428
3424 3429 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3425 3430 --Started changelog.
3426 3431 --make clear do what it say it does
3427 3432 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3428 3433 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3429 3434 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3430 3435 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3431 3436 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3432 3437 can be done for other cases.
3433 3438 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3434 3439 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3435 3440 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3436 3441
3437 3442 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3438 3443 --added logfile rotation
3439 3444 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3440 3445
3441 3446 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3442 3447 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3443 3448 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3444 3449 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3445 3450 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3446 3451 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3447 3452 --added global logfile option
3448 3453 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3449 3454 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3450 3455
3451 3456 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3452 3457 --added a README
3453 3458 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3454 3459 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3455 3460 bug or feature.
3456 3461 --changed rc file for new behavior
3457 3462
3458 3463 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3464
3460 3465 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3461 3466 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3462 3467 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3463 3468
3464 3469 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3465 3470 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3466 3471
3467 3472 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3468 3473
3469 3474 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3470 3475 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3471 3476 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3472 3477 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3473 3478 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3474 3479 and prepended with a #.
3475 3480
3476 3481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3477 3482 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3478 3483
3479 3484 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3480 3485
3481 3486 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3482 3487 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3483 3488
3484 3489 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3485 3490
3486 3491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3487 3492 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3488 3493
3489 3494 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3490 3495
3491 3496 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3492 3497 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3493 3498 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3494 3499
3495 3500 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3496 3501
3497 3502 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3498 3503 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3499 3504
3500 3505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3501 3506 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3502 3507 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3503 3508 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3504 3509 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3505 3510 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3506 3511 be implemented later).
3507 3512
3508 3513 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3509 3514 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3510 3515 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3511 3516 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3512 3517
3513 3518 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3514 3519 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3515 3520 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3516 3521
3517 3522 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3518 3523 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3519 3524
3520 3525 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3521 3526 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3522 3527 readline make it impossible to go further.
3523 3528
3524 3529 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3525 3530
3526 3531 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3527 3532 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3528 3533
3529 3534 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3530 3535
3531 3536 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3532 3537 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3533 3538 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3534 3539 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3535 3540
3536 3541 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3537 3542 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3538 3543 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3539 3544 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3540 3545
3541 3546 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3542 3547 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3543 3548 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3544 3549 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3545 3550 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3546 3551 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3547 3552 problem.
3548 3553
3549 3554 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3550 3555 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3551 3556
3552 3557 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3553 3558 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3554 3559 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3555 3560
3556 3561 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3557 3562
3558 3563 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3559 3564 continue prompts.
3560 3565
3561 3566 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3562 3567 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3563 3568 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3564 3569 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3565 3570 byte-compilation saves time.
3566 3571
3567 3572 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3568 3573
3569 3574 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3570 3575 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3571 3576
3572 3577 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3573 3578 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3574 3579
3575 3580 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3576 3581 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3577 3582 common cases where it's a problem.
3578 3583
3579 3584 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3580 3585
3581 3586 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3582 3587 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3583 3588 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3584 3589 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3585 3590 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3586 3591 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3587 3592
3588 3593 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3589 3594
3590 3595 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3591 3596 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3592 3597
3593 3598 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3594 3599 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3595 3600 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3596 3601 structure as win_exec_ext.
3597 3602
3598 3603 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3599 3604 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3600 3605
3601 3606 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3602 3607 delete aliases.
3603 3608
3604 3609 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3605 3610 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3606 3611
3607 3612 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3608 3613
3609 3614 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3610 3615 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3611 3616
3612 3617 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3613 3618
3614 3619 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3615 3620 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3616 3621
3617 3622 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3618 3623 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3619 3624
3620 3625 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3621 3626 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3622 3627 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3623 3628 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3624 3629 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3625 3630 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3626 3631
3627 3632 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3628 3633 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3629 3634 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3630 3635
3631 3636 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3632 3637 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3633 3638 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3634 3639
3635 3640 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3636 3641 via an extra $. For example:
3637 3642
3638 3643 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3639 3644
3640 3645 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3641 3646 a python variable
3642 3647
3643 3648 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3644 3649 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3645 3650
3646 3651 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3647 3652 things prematurely.
3648 3653
3649 3654 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3650 3655 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3651 3656
3652 3657 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3653 3658 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3654 3659 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3655 3660 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3656 3661 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3657 3662 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3658 3663 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3659 3664 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3660 3665
3661 3666 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3662 3667 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3663 3668 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3664 3669 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3665 3670 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3666 3671 with the old system).
3667 3672
3668 3673 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3669 3674
3670 3675 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3671 3676 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3672 3677
3673 3678 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3674 3679 call to eval.
3675 3680 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3676 3681 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3677 3682 in.
3678 3683
3679 3684 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3680 3685
3681 3686 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3682 3687 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3683 3688 confusion).
3684 3689
3685 3690 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3686 3691 check for Windows users.
3687 3692
3688 3693 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3689 3694 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3690 3695 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3691 3696 download it.
3692 3697
3693 3698 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3694 3699
3695 3700 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3696 3701 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3697 3702 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3698 3703 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3699 3704 of IDLE's out).
3700 3705
3701 3706 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3702 3707 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3703 3708 eventually.
3704 3709 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3705 3710
3706 3711 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3707 3712
3708 3713 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3709 3714 list of auto-defined aliases.
3710 3715
3711 3716 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3712 3717
3713 3718 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3714 3719 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3715 3720 things under Windows).
3716 3721
3717 3722 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3718 3723
3719 3724 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3720 3725 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3721 3726 reported by Thorsten.
3722 3727
3723 3728 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3724 3729
3725 3730 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3726 3731 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3727 3732 for all examples and the manual as well.
3728 3733
3729 3734 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3730 3735
3731 3736 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3732 3737 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3733 3738 inherit from BasePrompt.
3734 3739
3735 3740 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3736 3741 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3737 3742
3738 3743 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3739 3744 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3740 3745 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3741 3746 defaults.
3742 3747 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3743 3748 this fix manually!
3744 3749
3745 3750 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3746 3751 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3747 3752 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3748 3753 distutils).
3749 3754
3750 3755 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3751 3756 usage of new '\D' escape.
3752 3757
3753 3758 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3754 3759 lacks os.getuid())
3755 3760 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3756 3761 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3757 3762 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3758 3763 handling mechanism.
3759 3764 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3760 3765 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3761 3766 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3762 3767 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3763 3768 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3764 3769 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3765 3770 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3766 3771
3767 3772 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3768 3773
3769 3774 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3770 3775 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3771 3776 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3772 3777
3773 3778 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3774 3779 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3775 3780 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3776 3781 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3777 3782 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3778 3783 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3779 3784 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3780 3785 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3781 3786
3782 3787 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3783 3788 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3784 3789 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3785 3790 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3786 3791 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3787 3792 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3788 3793 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3789 3794 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3790 3795
3791 3796 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3792 3797 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3793 3798 functions uniform.
3794 3799 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3795 3800
3796 3801 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3797 3802 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3798 3803 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3799 3804 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3800 3805 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3801 3806 use to parse their options.
3802 3807
3803 3808 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3804 3809 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3805 3810 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3806 3811
3807 3812 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3808 3813 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3809 3814 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3810 3815 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3811 3816 via the prompt_specials.
3812 3817
3813 3818 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3814 3819
3815 3820 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3816 3821 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3817 3822 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3818 3823 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3819 3824 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3820 3825 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3821 3826 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3822 3827 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3823 3828
3824 3829 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3825 3830
3826 3831 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3827 3832 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3828 3833 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3829 3834
3830 3835 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3831 3836
3832 3837 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3833 3838 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3834 3839
3835 3840 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3836 3841
3837 3842 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3838 3843 parens would get passed to the shell.
3839 3844
3840 3845 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3841 3846
3842 3847 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3843 3848 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3844 3849
3845 3850 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3846 3851 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3847 3852 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3848 3853 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3849 3854 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3850 3855
3851 3856 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3852 3857 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3853 3858 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3854 3859 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3855 3860
3856 3861 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3857 3862
3858 3863 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3859 3864
3860 3865 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3861 3866 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3862 3867 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3863 3868
3864 3869 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3865 3870 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3866 3871 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3867 3872 official documentation.
3868 3873
3869 3874 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3870 3875
3871 3876 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3872 3877 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3873 3878 explicit filename.
3874 3879
3875 3880 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3876 3881
3877 3882 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3878 3883 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3879 3884 case.
3880 3885
3881 3886 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3882 3887 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3883 3888 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3884 3889
3885 3890 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3886 3891
3887 3892 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3888 3893
3889 3894 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3890 3895 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3891 3896 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3892 3897 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3893 3898 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3894 3899 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3895 3900 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3896 3901 any changes to python proper.
3897 3902
3898 3903 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3899 3904 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3900 3905 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3901 3906 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3902 3907 Schmolck.
3903 3908
3904 3909 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3905 3910
3906 3911 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3907 3912 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3908 3913 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3909 3914 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3910 3915
3911 3916 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3912 3917
3913 3918 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3914 3919 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3915 3920 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3916 3921 name).
3917 3922
3918 3923 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3919 3924 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3920 3925 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3921 3926 Francois Pinard.
3922 3927
3923 3928 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3924 3929
3925 3930 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3926 3931 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3927 3932 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3928 3933 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3929 3934 not work.
3930 3935
3931 3936 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3932 3937
3933 3938 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3934 3939 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3935 3940 distinguishes stdout/err.
3936 3941
3937 3942 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3938 3943 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3939 3944 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3940 3945 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3941 3946 the standard library.
3942 3947
3943 3948 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3944 3949 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3945 3950
3946 3951 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3947 3952 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3948 3953
3949 3954 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3950 3955
3951 3956 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3952 3957 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3953 3958 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3954 3959 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3955 3960 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3956 3961 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3957 3962
3958 3963 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3959 3964
3960 3965 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3961 3966 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3962 3967 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3963 3968 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3964 3969
3965 3970 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3966 3971
3967 3972 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3968 3973 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3969 3974 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3970 3975 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3971 3976
3972 3977 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3973 3978
3974 3979 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3975 3980 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3976 3981 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3977 3982 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3978 3983 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3979 3984 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3980 3985 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3981 3986 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3982 3987
3983 3988 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3984 3989
3985 3990 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3986 3991 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3987 3992
3988 3993 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3989 3994
3990 3995 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3991 3996 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3992 3997 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3993 3998 very short.
3994 3999
3995 4000 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3996 4001
3997 4002 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3998 4003 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3999 4004 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4000 4005 this before making it permanent.
4001 4006
4002 4007 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4003 4008 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4004 4009 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4005 4010 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4006 4011
4007 4012 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4008 4013
4009 4014 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4010 4015 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4011 4016
4012 4017 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4013 4018
4014 4019 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4015 4020 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4016 4021 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4017 4022 cases I've missed.
4018 4023
4019 4024 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4020 4025
4021 4026 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4022 4027 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4023 4028 system would be triggered for @p.
4024 4029
4025 4030 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4026 4031 cleanups, code unmodified.
4027 4032
4028 4033 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4029 4034 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4030 4035 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4031 4036 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4032 4037 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4033 4038 The actual changes affect many files.
4034 4039
4035 4040 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4036 4041
4037 4042 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4038 4043 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4039 4044 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4040 4045
4041 4046 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4042 4047
4043 4048 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4044 4049 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4045 4050
4046 4051 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4052
4048 4053 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4049 4054 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4050 4055 numpy list.
4051 4056
4052 4057 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4053 4058
4054 4059 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4055 4060 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4056 4061 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4057 4062 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4058 4063
4059 4064 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4065
4061 4066 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4062 4067 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4063 4068 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4064 4069 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4065 4070
4066 4071 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4067 4072 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4068 4073
4069 4074 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4070 4075
4071 4076 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4072 4077 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4073 4078 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4074 4079 Collins.
4075 4080
4076 4081 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4077 4082
4078 4083 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4079 4084
4080 4085 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4081 4086 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4082 4087 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4083 4088
4084 4089 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4085 4090
4086 4091 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4087 4092 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4088 4093 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4089 4094 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4090 4095
4091 4096 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4092 4097 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4093 4098 __getitem__ and __call__.
4094 4099
4095 4100 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4096 4101
4097 4102 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4103
4099 4104 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4100 4105 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4101 4106 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4102 4107 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4103 4108
4104 4109 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4105 4110 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4106 4111 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4107 4112 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4108 4113 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4109 4114 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4110 4115 necessary.
4111 4116
4112 4117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4113 4118 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4114 4119 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4115 4120
4116 4121 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4117 4122 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4118 4123 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4119 4124 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4120 4125
4121 4126 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4122 4127 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4123 4128 generators.
4124 4129
4125 4130 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4126 4131 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4127 4132 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4128 4133 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4129 4134 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4130 4135 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4131 4136 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4132 4137
4133 4138 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4134 4139 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4135 4140 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4136 4141 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4137 4142 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4138 4143
4139 4144 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4140 4145 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4141 4146 edit under some circumstances.
4142 4147 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4143 4148 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4144 4149 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4145 4150 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4146 4151 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4147 4152 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4148 4153 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4149 4154 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4150 4155 need more testing.
4151 4156
4152 4157 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4153 4158
4154 4159 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4155 4160 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4156 4161 and simpler code.
4157 4162
4158 4163 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4159 4164
4160 4165 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4161 4166 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4162 4167 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4163 4168 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4164 4169 even if they were contiguous.
4165 4170 (l1norm): Added this function.
4166 4171 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4167 4172 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4168 4173 and speed.
4169 4174
4170 4175 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4171 4176
4172 4177 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4173 4178 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4174 4179 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4175 4180
4176 4181 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4177 4182
4178 4183 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4179 4184 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4180 4185 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4181 4186
4182 4187 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4183 4188 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4184 4189 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4185 4190
4186 4191 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4187 4192
4188 4193 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4189 4194 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4190 4195 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4191 4196 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4192 4197 activity.
4193 4198
4194 4199 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4195 4200
4196 4201 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4197 4202 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4198 4203 Numeric.identity)
4199 4204
4200 4205 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4201 4206
4202 4207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4203 4208 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4204 4209 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4205 4210
4206 4211 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4207 4212
4208 4213 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4209 4214 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4210 4215 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4211 4216 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4212 4217
4213 4218 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4214 4219 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4215 4220 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4216 4221 is implemented).
4217 4222
4218 4223 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4219 4224
4220 4225 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4221 4226 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4222 4227 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4223 4228
4224 4229 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4225 4230 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4226 4231 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4227 4232 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4228 4233 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4229 4234
4230 4235 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4231 4236
4232 4237 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4233 4238
4234 4239 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4235 4240 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4236 4241 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4237 4242
4238 4243 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4244
4240 4245 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4241 4246 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4242 4247 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4243 4248
4244 4249 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4245 4250 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4246 4251 crash report from Prabhu.
4247 4252
4248 4253 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4249 4254
4250 4255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4251 4256 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4252 4257 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4253 4258 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4254 4259 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4255 4260 also be useful in other cases.
4256 4261
4257 4262 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4258 4263 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4259 4264 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4260 4265
4261 4266 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4262 4267
4263 4268 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4264 4269
4265 4270 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4266 4271 installing for a new user under Windows.
4267 4272
4268 4273 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4269 4274
4270 4275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4271 4276 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4272 4277 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4273 4278 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4274 4279 there.
4275 4280
4276 4281 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4277 4282 info to crash reports.
4278 4283
4279 4284 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4280 4285 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4281 4286 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4282 4287 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4283 4288
4284 4289 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4285 4290
4286 4291 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4287 4292 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4288 4293 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4289 4294 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4290 4295
4291 4296 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4292 4297
4293 4298 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4294 4299 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4295 4300
4296 4301 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4297 4302
4298 4303 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4299 4304 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4300 4305
4301 4306 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4302 4307
4303 4308 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4304 4309
4305 4310 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4306 4311 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4307 4312 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4308 4313
4309 4314 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4310 4315 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4311 4316 with the new auto-indent option.
4312 4317
4313 4318 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4314 4319
4315 4320 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4316 4321 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4317 4322 this class from the main Shell class.
4318 4323
4319 4324 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4320 4325 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4321 4326 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4322 4327 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4323 4328 option).
4324 4329
4325 4330 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4326 4331 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4327 4332 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4328 4333 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4329 4334 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4330 4335
4331 4336 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4332 4337 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4333 4338 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4334 4339
4335 4340 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4336 4341 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4337 4342 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4338 4343 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4339 4344 tracebacks.
4340 4345
4341 4346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4342 4347 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4343 4348 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4345 4350 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4346 4351
4347 4352 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4348 4353 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4349 4354 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4350 4355 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4351 4356
4352 4357 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4353 4358
4354 4359 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4355 4360 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4356 4361 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4357 4362 for the bug report.
4358 4363
4359 4364 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4360 4365
4361 4366 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4362 4367 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4363 4368 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4364 4369 report.
4365 4370
4366 4371 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4367 4372
4368 4373 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4369 4374 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4370 4375 end).
4371 4376
4372 4377 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4373 4378 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4374 4379 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4375 4380
4376 4381 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4377 4382
4378 4383 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4379 4384 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4380 4385 for the patch.
4381 4386
4382 4387 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4388
4384 4389 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4385 4390 functions.
4386 4391
4387 4392 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4389 4394 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4390 4395
4391 4396 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4392 4397 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4393 4398 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4394 4399 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4395 4400 private fix.
4396 4401
4397 4402 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4398 4403 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4399 4404 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4400 4405 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4401 4406 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4402 4407 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4403 4408 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4404 4409 fixed for this setup.
4405 4410
4406 4411 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4407 4412 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4408 4413
4409 4414 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4410 4415
4411 4416 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4412 4417
4413 4418 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4414 4419 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4415 4420 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4416 4421 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4417 4422 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4418 4423 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4419 4424 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4420 4425 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4421 4426 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4422 4427
4423 4428 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4424 4429 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4425 4430 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4426 4431
4427 4432 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4428 4433
4429 4434 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4430 4435
4431 4436 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4432 4437 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4433 4438 pickle-related issue in @run).
4434 4439
4435 4440 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4436 4441
4437 4442 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4438 4443 the autocall option at runtime.
4439 4444 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4440 4445 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4441 4446 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4442 4447 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4443 4448 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4444 4449 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4445 4450 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4446 4451 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4447 4452 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4448 4453 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4449 4454 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4450 4455 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4451 4456 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4452 4457 pickles to save something sensible.
4453 4458
4454 4459 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4455 4460
4456 4461 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4457 4462 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4458 4463 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4459 4464
4460 4465 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4461 4466
4462 4467 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4463 4468 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4464 4469
4465 4470 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4466 4471
4467 4472 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4468 4473 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4469 4474 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4470 4475 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4471 4476
4472 4477 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4473 4478
4474 4479 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4475 4480 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4476 4481 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4477 4482 array is non-contiguous.
4478 4483
4479 4484 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4480 4485
4481 4486 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4482 4487 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4483 4488 executed).
4484 4489 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4485 4490 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4486 4491 output.
4487 4492 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4488 4493 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4489 4494 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4490 4495 changing.
4491 4496
4492 4497 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4493 4498
4494 4499 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4495 4500
4496 4501 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4497 4502 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4498 4503 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4499 4504 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4500 4505 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4501 4506 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4502 4507 like a normal command-line.
4503 4508
4504 4509 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4505 4510 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4506 4511 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4507 4512 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4508 4513
4509 4514 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4510 4515
4511 4516 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4512 4517 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4513 4518 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4514 4519 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4515 4520
4516 4521 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4517 4522
4518 4523 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4519 4524 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4520 4525 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4521 4526 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4522 4527 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4523 4528 think it's worth doing.
4524 4529
4525 4530 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50

4527 4532 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4528 4533
4529 4534 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4530 4535 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4531 4536
4532 4537 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4533 4538 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4534 4539 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4535 4540 also work ok.
4536 4541
4537 4542 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49

4539 4544 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4540 4545
4541 4546 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4542 4547
4543 4548 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4544 4549 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4545 4550 of gnuplot data files.
4546 4551
4547 4552 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4548 4553
4549 4554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4550 4555 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4551 4556
4552 4557 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4558
4554 4559 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4555 4560 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4556 4561 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4557 4562 for pointing this out.
4558 4563
4559 4564 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4560 4565
4561 4566 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4562 4567
4563 4568 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4564 4569 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4565 4570 Interactive.
4566 4571
4567 4572 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4568 4573 being imported from iplib.
4569 4574
4570 4575 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4571 4576 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4572 4577 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4573 4578 common name.
4574 4579
4575 4580 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4576 4581 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4577 4582
4578 4583 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4579 4584 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4580 4585
4581 4586 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4582 4587 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4583 4588 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4584 4589 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4585 4590 docstrings).
4586 4591
4587 4592 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4588 4593
4589 4594 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4590 4595 (inconsistent with options).
4591 4596
4592 4597 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4593 4598 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4594 4599 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4595 4600 eps output.
4596 4601
4597 4602 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4603
4599 4604 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4600 4605 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4601 4606 Pinard.
4602 4607
4603 4608 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4604 4609
4605 4610 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4606 4611 history file for new users.
4607 4612 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4608 4613 user running in the .ipython dir.
4609 4614 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4610 4615 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4611 4616 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4612 4617
4613 4618 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4614 4619 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4615 4620 consistently.
4616 4621
4617 4622 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4618 4623 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4619 4624 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4620 4625 libraries I don't have access to.
4621 4626
4622 4627 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4623 4628 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4624 4629 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4625 4630 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4626 4631 report.
4627 4632
4628 4633 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4629 4634
4630 4635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4631 4636 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4632 4637 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4633 4638 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4634 4639
4635 4640 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4641
4637 4642 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4638 4643 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4639 4644 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4640 4645 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4641 4646 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4642 4647 instance has been created.
4643 4648
4644 4649 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4645 4650 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4646 4651 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4647 4652 dict by hand.
4648 4653
4649 4654 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4650 4655
4651 4656 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4652 4657 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4653 4658 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4654 4659 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4655 4660 broken.
4656 4661
4657 4662 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4658 4663 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4659 4664 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4660 4665 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4661 4666
4662 4667 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4663 4668 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4664 4669 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4665 4670 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4666 4671 is a valid one.
4667 4672
4668 4673 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4669 4674 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4670 4675 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4671 4676
4672 4677 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4673 4678 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4674 4679 simply leftover junk.
4675 4680
4676 4681 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4677 4682
4678 4683 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4679 4684 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4680 4685 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4681 4686
4682 4687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4683 4688 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4684 4689 exceptions.
4685 4690
4686 4691 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4687 4692
4688 4693 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4689 4694 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4690 4695 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4691 4696 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4692 4697 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4693 4698
4694 4699 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4695 4700 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4696 4701
4697 4702 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4698 4703 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4699 4704 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4700 4705 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4701 4706 problem mentioned below.
4702 4707
4703 4708 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4704 4709
4705 4710 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4706 4711 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4707 4712
4708 4713 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4709 4714 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4710 4715 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4711 4716 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4712 4717 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4713 4718
4714 4719 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4715 4720 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4716 4721 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4717 4722 actual function names.
4718 4723
4719 4724 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4720 4725 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4721 4726 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4722 4727 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4723 4728 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4724 4729 really be only function/method names.
4725 4730
4726 4731 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4727 4732
4728 4733 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4729 4734 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4730 4735 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4731 4736
4732 4737 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4733 4738
4734 4739 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4735 4740 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4736 4741 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4737 4742
4738 4743 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4739 4744 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4740 4745
4741 4746 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4742 4747 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4743 4748 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4744 4749
4745 4750 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4746 4751 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4747 4752 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4748 4753
4749 4754 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4750 4755 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4751 4756 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4752 4757
4753 4758 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4754 4759
4755 4760 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4756 4761 Gnuplot.File objects.
4757 4762
4758 4763 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4759 4764
4760 4765 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4761 4766 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4762 4767 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4763 4768
4764 4769 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4765 4770
4766 4771 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4767 4772 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4768 4773
4769 4774 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4770 4775 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4771 4776
4772 4777 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4773 4778 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4774 4779
4775 4780 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4776 4781
4777 4782 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4778 4783 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4779 4784 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4780 4785 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4781 4786
4782 4787 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4783 4788
4784 4789 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4785 4790 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4786 4791 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4787 4792
4788 4793 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4789 4794
4790 4795 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4791 4796 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4792 4797 workaround).
4793 4798
4794 4799 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4795 4800
4796 4801 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4797 4802 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4798 4803
4799 4804 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4800 4805
4801 4806 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4802 4807 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4803 4808
4804 4809 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4805 4810 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4806 4811 .strip() is called on it.
4807 4812
4808 4813
4809 4814 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4810 4815
4811 4816 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4812 4817 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4813 4818 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4814 4819
4815 4820 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4816 4821 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4817 4822
4818 4823 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4819 4824 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4820 4825 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4821 4826
4822 4827 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4823 4828
4824 4829 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4825 4830 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4826 4831 __main__.
4827 4832
4828 4833 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4829 4834 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4830 4835
4831 4836 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4832 4837 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4833 4838 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4834 4839 Mathematica behaves.
4835 4840
4836 4841 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4837 4842
4838 4843 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4839 4844 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4840 4845
4841 4846 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4842 4847 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4843 4848 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4844 4849
4845 4850 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4846 4851 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4847 4852
4848 4853 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4849 4854
4850 4855 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4851 4856 underflow problems in Numeric.
4852 4857 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4853 4858 for exact integer powers of 2.
4854 4859
4855 4860 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4856 4861 properly.
4857 4862
4858 4863 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4859 4864
4860 4865 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4861 4866 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4862 4867
4863 4868 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4864 4869
4865 4870 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4866 4871 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4867 4872
4868 4873 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4869 4874
4870 4875 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4871 4876 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4872 4877 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4873 4878 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4874 4879 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4875 4880 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4876 4881 times).
4877 4882
4878 4883 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4879 4884 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4880 4885 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4881 4886
4882 4887 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4883 4888
4884 4889 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4885 4890 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4886 4891 embedded code.
4887 4892
4888 4893 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4889 4894 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4890 4895 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4891 4896
4892 4897 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4893 4898 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4894 4899 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4895 4900 less special-casing to remember.
4896 4901
4897 4902 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4898 4903
4899 4904 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4900 4905 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4901 4906 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4902 4907 arg is not a defined object.
4903 4908 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4904 4909 a Mike Heeter idea.
4905 4910
4906 4911 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4907 4912 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4908 4913 interactive use.
4909 4914
4910 4915 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4911 4916 filenames.
4912 4917
4913 4918 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4914 4919
4915 4920 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4916 4921 initialization via another struct.
4917 4922
4918 4923 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4919 4924 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4920 4925
4921 4926 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4922 4927
4923 4928 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4924 4929 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4925 4930 too big).
4926 4931
4927 4932 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4928 4933
4929 4934 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4930 4935 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4931 4936 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4932 4937 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4933 4938
4934 4939 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4935 4940
4936 4941 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4937 4942 macros having broken.
4938 4943
4939 4944 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4940 4945
4941 4946 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4942 4947 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4943 4948 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4944 4949 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4945 4950 not to lists.
4946 4951
4947 4952 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4948 4953
4949 4954 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4950 4955 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4951 4956 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4952 4957
4953 4958 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4954 4959 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4955 4960
4956 4961 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4957 4962 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4958 4963 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4959 4964
4960 4965 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4961 4966 triple-quoted strings.
4962 4967
4963 4968 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4964 4969 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4965 4970 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4966 4971 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4967 4972 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4968 4973 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4969 4974
4970 4975 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4971 4976
4972 4977 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4973 4978 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4974 4979 ultraTB).
4975 4980
4976 4981 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4977 4982
4978 4983 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4979 4984 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4980 4985 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4981 4986 user's 'g' variables).
4982 4987
4983 4988 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4984 4989 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4985 4990 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4986 4991 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4987 4992 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4988 4993 macros.
4989 4994
4990 4995 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4991 4996
4992 4997 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4993 4998 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4994 4999
4995 5000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4996 5001 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4997 5002 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4998 5003
4999 5004 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5005
5001 5006 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5002 5007 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5003 5008 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5004 5009 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5005 5010 aliases.
5006 5011
5007 5012 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5008 5013
5009 5014 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5010 5015 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5011 5016 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5012 5017 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5013 5018
5014 5019 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5015 5020
5016 5021 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5017 5022 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5018 5023 user-defined functions overrode them.
5019 5024
5020 5025 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5021 5026
5022 5027 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5023 5028 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5024 5029
5025 5030 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5026 5031
5027 5032 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5028 5033 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5029 5034 IPython.
5030 5035
5031 5036 * Released 0.2.13
5032 5037
5033 5038 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5034 5039 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5035 5040 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5036 5041 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5037 5042
5038 5043 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5039 5044
5040 5045 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5041 5046 magic properly formatted for screen.
5042 5047
5043 5048 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5044 5049 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5045 5050
5046 5051 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5047 5052 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5048 5053 etc.)
5049 5054
5050 5055 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5051 5056
5052 5057 * Released 0.2.12
5053 5058
5054 5059 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5055 5060
5056 5061 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5057 5062 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5058 5063 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5059 5064 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5060 5065 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5061 5066 an alias to @run -i.
5062 5067
5063 5068 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5064 5069 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5065 5070
5066 5071 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5067 5072
5068 5073 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5069 5074 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5070 5075 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5071 5076
5072 5077 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5073 5078 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5074 5079 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5075 5080 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5076 5081 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5077 5082 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5078 5083 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5079 5084
5080 5085 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5081 5086
5082 5087 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5083 5088 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5084 5089 printed).
5085 5090
5086 5091 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5087 5092 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5088 5093 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5089 5094
5090 5095 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5091 5096 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5092 5097
5093 5098 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5094 5099 handle magic commands in them.
5095 5100 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5096 5101 ~/mylog' now works.
5097 5102
5098 5103 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5099 5104 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5100 5105
5101 5106 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5107
5103 5108 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5104 5109 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5105 5110
5106 5111 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5107 5112 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5108 5113 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5109 5114 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5110 5115 variables are in the context of an exception.
5111 5116 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5112 5117 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5113 5118
5114 5119 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5115 5120 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5116 5121
5117 5122 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5118 5123
5119 5124 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5120 5125 magics can parse options easier.
5121 5126 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5122 5127 suggested by Chris Hart.
5123 5128 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5124 5129 directory actually is in history.
5125 5130
5126 5131 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5127 5132 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5128 5133 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5129 5134
5130 5135 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5131 5136 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5132 5137 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5133 5138 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5134 5139
5135 5140 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5136 5141
5137 5142 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5138 5143 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5139 5144
5140 5145 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5141 5146 text (was a bug).
5142 5147
5143 5148 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5144 5149
5145 5150 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5146 5151 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5147 5152 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5148 5153
5149 5154 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5150 5155
5151 5156 * Released 0.2.10
5152 5157
5153 5158 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5154 5159
5155 5160 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5156 5161 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5157 5162
5158 5163 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5159 5164
5160 5165 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5161 5166 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5162 5167
5163 5168 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5164 5169
5165 5170 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5166 5171 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5167 5172 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5168 5173 __init__.py)
5169 5174
5170 5175 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5171 5176
5172 5177 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5173 5178 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5174 5179 test for being inside IPython.
5175 5180
5176 5181 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5177 5182 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5178 5183 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5179 5184 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5180 5185
5181 5186 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5182 5187
5183 5188 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5184 5189 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5185 5190 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5186 5191
5187 5192 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5188 5193 embedding example to standard user directory for
5189 5194 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5190 5195
5191 5196 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5192 5197 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5193 5198 hidden global).
5194 5199
5195 5200 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5196 5201 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5197 5202 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5198 5203 case.
5199 5204
5200 5205 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5201 5206
5202 5207 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5203 5208 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5204 5209 start.
5205 5210
5206 5211 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5207 5212 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5208 5213 Numeric or math.
5209 5214
5210 5215 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5211 5216 provided profiles. Now we have:
5212 5217 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5213 5218 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5214 5219 -physics -> same as before
5215 5220
5216 5221 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5217 5222 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5218 5223 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5219 5224 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5220 5225 string adds).
5221 5226
5222 5227 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5223 5228 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5224 5229 line with the gnuplot code).
5225 5230
5226 5231 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5227 5232
5228 5233 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5229 5234 all included files change.
5230 5235
5231 5236 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5232 5237 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5233 5238
5234 5239 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5235 5240 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5236 5241 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5237 5242
5238 5243 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5239 5244 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5240 5245
5241 5246 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5242 5247 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5243 5248
5244 5249 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5245 5250 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5246 5251 now accessible.
5247 5252
5248 5253 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5249 5254 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5250 5255 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5251 5256 removed.
5252 5257 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5253 5258 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5254 5259 don't crash.
5255 5260 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5256 5261 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5257 5262 remains available.
5258 5263
5259 5264 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5260 5265
5261 5266 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5262 5267
5263 5268 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5264 5269
5265 5270 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5266 5271 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5267 5272 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5268 5273 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5269 5274
5270 5275 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5271 5276
5272 5277 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5273 5278 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5274 5279 sync with the output counter.
5275 5280
5276 5281 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5277 5282 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5278 5283
5279 5284 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5280 5285
5281 5286 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5282 5287 readline, fix it back after each call.
5283 5288
5284 5289 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5285 5290 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5286 5291 traceback references are properly deleted.
5287 5292
5288 5293 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5289 5294 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5290 5295
5291 5296 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5292 5297
5293 5298 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5294 5299 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5295 5300 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5296 5301 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5297 5302 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5298 5303 to catch SystemExit).
5299 5304
5300 5305 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5301 5306 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5302 5307 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5303 5308 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5304 5309 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5305 5310 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5306 5311
5307 5312 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5308 5313
5309 5314 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5310 5315 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5311 5316 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5312 5317
5313 5318 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5314 5319 configurable (it should have always been so).
5315 5320
5316 5321 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5317 5322
5318 5323 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5319 5324 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5320 5325 done in a more elegant way.
5321 5326
5322 5327 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5328
5324 5329 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5325 5330 win9x also.
5326 5331
5327 5332 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5328 5333
5329 5334 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5330 5335 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5331 5336
5332 5337 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5333 5338
5334 5339 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5335 5340
5336 5341 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5337 5342 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5338 5343
5339 5344 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5340 5345 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5341 5346
5342 5347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5343 5348 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5344 5349
5345 5350 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5346 5351 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5347 5352
5348 5353 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5349 5354
5350 5355 * Released 0.2.8
5351 5356
5352 5357 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5353 5358 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5354 5359 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5355 5360 on' so that the first tab completes.
5356 5361 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5357 5362 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5358 5363
5359 5364 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5360 5365 installation.
5361 5366
5362 5367 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5363 5368 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5364 5369
5365 5370 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5366 5371
5367 5372 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5368 5373 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5369 5374 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5370 5375
5371 5376 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5372 5377 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5373 5378
5374 5379 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5375 5380 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5376 5381 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5377 5382 suggestion.
5378 5383
5379 5384 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5380 5385 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5381 5386 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5382 5387
5383 5388 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5384 5389 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5385 5390
5386 5391 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5387 5392
5388 5393 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5389 5394 which properly handles things for windows users.
5390 5395
5391 5396 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5392 5397
5393 5398 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5394 5399 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5395 5400 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5396 5401 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5397 5402 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5398 5403
5399 5404 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5400 5405
5401 5406 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5402 5407
5403 5408 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5404 5409 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5405 5410
5406 5411 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5407 5412
5408 5413 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5409 5414 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5410 5415 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5411 5416 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5412 5417 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5413 5418 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5414 5419
5415 5420 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5416 5421
5417 5422 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5418 5423 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5419 5424
5420 5425 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5421 5426 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5422 5427 cache at 20 values.
5423 5428
5424 5429 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5425 5430 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5426 5431 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5427 5432 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5428 5433
5429 5434 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5430 5435 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5431 5436 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5432 5437 'file show').
5433 5438
5434 5439 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5435 5440 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5436 5441
5437 5442 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5438 5443 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5439 5444 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5440 5445
5441 5446 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5442 5447 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5443 5448 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5444 5449 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5445 5450
5446 5451 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5447 5452 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5448 5453 the prompt strings.
5449 5454
5450 5455 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5451 5456
5452 5457 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5453 5458 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5454 5459
5455 5460 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5456 5461 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5457 5462 either globally or at each call.
5458 5463
5459 5464 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5460 5465 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5461 5466 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5462 5467 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5463 5468
5464 5469 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5465 5470
5466 5471 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5467 5472 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5468 5473
5469 5474 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5470 5475
5471 5476 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5472 5477 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5473 5478 learning some lisp...
5474 5479
5475 5480 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5476 5481
5477 5482 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5478 5483 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5479 5484 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5480 5485 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5481 5486
5482 5487 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5483 5488 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5484 5489 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5485 5490
5486 5491 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5487 5492
5488 5493 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5489 5494 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5490 5495 control to emacs users.
5491 5496
5492 5497 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5493 5498 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5494 5499 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5495 5500 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5496 5501 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5497 5502 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5498 5503
5499 5504 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5500 5505
5501 5506 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5502 5507
5503 5508 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5504 5509 @logstate magic was created.
5505 5510
5506 5511 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5507 5512 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5508 5513
5509 5514 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5510 5515
5511 5516 * Released 0.2.6.
5512 5517
5513 5518 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5514 5519 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5515 5520
5516 5521 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5517 5522 SciPy.
5518 5523
5519 5524 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5520 5525 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5521 5526 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5522 5527 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5523 5528 the section on embedding and the example file.
5524 5529
5525 5530 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5526 5531 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5527 5532 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5528 5533
5529 5534 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5530 5535 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5531 5536 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5532 5537
5533 5538 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5534 5539 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5535 5540 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5536 5541 for this to work.
5537 5542
5538 5543 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5539 5544
5540 5545 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5541 5546 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5542 5547 well inside Emacs buffers.
5543 5548 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5544 5549 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5545 5550 same bug in iplib.
5546 5551
5547 5552 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5548 5553
5549 5554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5550 5555 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5551 5556
5552 5557 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5553 5558 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5554 5559 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5555 5560
5556 5561 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5557 5562 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5558 5563 display is done.
5559 5564
5560 5565 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5561 5566 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5562 5567
5563 5568 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5564 5569 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5565 5570 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5566 5571 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5567 5572 like in Octave.
5568 5573
5569 5574 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5570 5575 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5571 5576
5572 5577 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5578
5574 5579 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5575 5580 whole file a little.
5576 5581
5577 5582 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5578 5583 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5579 5584 end-user distro.
5580 5585
5581 5586 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5582 5587 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5583 5588 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5584 5589
5585 5590 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5586 5591 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5587 5592
5588 5593 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5589 5594 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5590 5595 for @file.
5591 5596
5592 5597 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5593 5598 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5594 5599 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5595 5600 the code a bit easier.
5596 5601
5597 5602 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5598 5603 information to crash reports.
5599 5604
5600 5605 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5601 5606
5602 5607 * Released 0.2.5.
5603 5608
5604 5609 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5605 5610
5606 5611 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5607 5612 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5608 5613 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5609 5614
5610 5615 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5611 5616
5612 5617 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5613 5618 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5614 5619 have thigs work as expected.
5615 5620
5616 5621 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5617 5622 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5618 5623 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5619 5624 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5620 5625 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5621 5626
5622 5627 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5623 5628 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5624 5629
5625 5630 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5626 5631
5627 5632 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5628 5633 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5629 5634
5630 5635 * README and manual updates.
5631 5636
5632 5637 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5633 5638 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5634 5639
5635 5640 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5636 5641 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5637 5642
5638 5643 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5639 5644 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5640 5645 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5641 5646 extension-less files.
5642 5647
5643 5648 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5644 5649 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5645 5650 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5646 5651
5647 5652 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5648 5653 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5649 5654
5650 5655 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5651 5656 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5652 5657 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5653 5658 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5654 5659 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5655 5660 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5656 5661 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5657 5662 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5658 5663 least make manually a shortcut.
5659 5664
5660 5665 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5661 5666 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5662 5667 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5663 5668 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5664 5669 runtime, with @colors.
5665 5670 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5666 5671 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5667 5672
5668 5673 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5669 5674
5670 5675 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5671 5676 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5672 5677 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5673 5678 read the startup info.
5674 5679
5675 5680 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5676 5681
5677 5682 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5678 5683 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5679 5684 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5680 5685 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5681 5686 type the better off we are.
5682 5687 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5683 5688 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5684 5689 before.
5685 5690
5686 5691 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5687 5692
5688 5693 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5689 5694 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5690 5695 this later.
5691 5696
5692 5697 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5693 5698
5694 5699 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5695 5700 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5696 5701 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5697 5702
5698 5703 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5699 5704
5700 5705 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5701 5706 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5702 5707 spitting out only offset information as before.
5703 5708 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5704 5709 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5705 5710
5706 5711 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5707 5712
5708 5713 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5709 5714 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5710 5715 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5711 5716 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5712 5717 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5713 5718 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5714 5719 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5715 5720 macros.
5716 5721
5717 5722 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5718 5723
5719 5724 * Released 0.2.4.
5720 5725
5721 5726 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5722 5727 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5723 5728 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5724 5729 re-execution.
5725 5730
5726 5731 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5727 5732
5728 5733 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5729 5734 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5730 5735 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5731 5736 documented, of course :)
5732 5737 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5733 5738 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5734 5739 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5735 5740
5736 5741 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5737 5742
5738 5743 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5739 5744 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5740 5745 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5741 5746
5742 5747 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5743 5748
5744 5749 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5745 5750 so I wanted an updated release).
5746 5751
5747 5752 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5748 5753
5749 5754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5750 5755 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5751 5756 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5752 5757 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5753 5758 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5754 5759
5755 5760 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5756 5761
5757 5762 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5758 5763 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5759 5764
5760 5765 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5761 5766
5762 5767 * Released 0.2.2.
5763 5768
5764 5769 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5765 5770 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5766 5771 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5767 5772 versions.
5768 5773
5769 5774 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5770 5775 (MayaVi author).
5771 5776
5772 5777 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5773 5778
5774 5779 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5775 5780 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5776 5781 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5777 5782 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5778 5783 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5779 5784
5780 5785 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5781 5786 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5782 5787
5783 5788 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5784 5789
5785 5790 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5786 5791 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5787 5792 nice, full-blown manual.
5788 5793
5789 5794 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5790 5795 trivially simple for end-users.
5791 5796
5792 5797 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5793 5798
5794 5799 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5795 5800 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5796 5801
5797 5802 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5798 5803 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5799 5804
5800 5805 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5801 5806
5802 5807 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5803 5808 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5804 5809 people to later upgrade versions.
5805 5810
5806 5811 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5807 5812 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5808 5813 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5809 5814 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5810 5815 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5811 5816 SystemExit).
5812 5817
5813 5818 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5814 5819 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5815 5820 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5816 5821 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5817 5822 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5818 5823
5819 5824 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5820 5825 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5821 5826 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5822 5827
5823 5828 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5824 5829
5825 5830 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5826 5831 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5827 5832
5828 5833 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5829 5834 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5830 5835 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5831 5836 html docs out of it will be found).
5832 5837
5833 5838 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5834 5839
5835 5840 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5836 5841 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5837 5842
5838 5843 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5839 5844
5840 5845 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5841 5846 visiting any directory in _dh.
5842 5847
5843 5848 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5844 5849 it out with numbers.
5845 5850
5846 5851 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5847 5852
5848 5853 * Released 0.1.22
5849 5854
5850 5855 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5851 5856 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5852 5857
5853 5858 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5854 5859 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5855 5860 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5856 5861 screen the necessary mail command.
5857 5862
5858 5863 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5859 5864 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5860 5865 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5861 5866
5862 5867 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5863 5868
5864 5869 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5865 5870 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5866 5871 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5867 5872 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5868 5873 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5869 5874 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5870 5875 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5871 5876 its name).
5872 5877
5873 5878 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5874 5879 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5875 5880 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5876 5881 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5877 5882
5878 5883 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5879 5884
5880 5885 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5881 5886 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5882 5887
5883 5888 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5884 5889 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5885 5890
5886 5891 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5887 5892 completion of @-starting lines.
5888 5893
5889 5894 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5890 5895 info that other files can read from.
5891 5896
5892 5897 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5893 5898 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5894 5899 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5895 5900 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5896 5901 restores produce less errors.
5897 5902
5898 5903 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5899 5904 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5900 5905 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5901 5906 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5902 5907 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5903 5908
5904 5909 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5905 5910 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5906 5911 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5907 5912 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5908 5913 with this, finally...
5909 5914
5910 5915 * Small documentation updates.
5911 5916
5912 5917 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5913 5918 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5914 5919 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5915 5920
5916 5921 * File renaming:
5917 5922 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5918 5923 ipplib --> iplib
5919 5924 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5920 5925
5921 5926 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5922 5927 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5923 5928 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5924 5929
5925 5930 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5926 5931 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5927 5932 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5928 5933
5929 5934 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5930 5935
5931 5936 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5932 5937 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5933 5938 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5934 5939 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5935 5940
5936 5941 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5937 5942 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5938 5943 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5939 5944
5940 5945 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5941 5946 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5942 5947 road.
5943 5948
5944 5949 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5945 5950 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5946 5951 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5947 5952 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5948 5953
5949 5954 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5950 5955
5951 5956 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5952 5957 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5953 5958 file accordingly.
5954 5959
5955 5960 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5956 5961 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5957 5962 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5958 5963 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5959 5964 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5960 5965 separators and proper padding and justification.
5961 5966
5962 5967 * Released 0.1.20
5963 5968
5964 5969 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5965 5970 copy operation was missing).
5966 5971
5967 5972 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5968 5973 its output is always quite long.
5969 5974
5970 5975 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5971 5976 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5972 5977 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5973 5978 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5974 5979
5975 5980 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5976 5981 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5977 5982 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5978 5983 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5979 5984
5980 5985 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5981 5986
5982 5987 * Released 0.1.19
5983 5988
5984 5989 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5985 5990 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5986 5991
5987 5992 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5988 5993 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5989 5994 comment on 'macros').
5990 5995
5991 5996 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5992 5997
5993 5998 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5994 5999 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5995 6000 statements and takes parameters.
5996 6001
5997 6002 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5998 6003
5999 6004 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6000 6005
6001 6006 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6002 6007
6003 6008 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6004 6009 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6005 6010
6006 6011 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6007 6012 ipythonrc-* samples.
6008 6013
6009 6014 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6010 6015 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6011 6016
6012 6017 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6013 6018 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6014 6019
6015 6020 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6016 6021
6017 6022 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6018 6023 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6019 6024 convention.
6020 6025
6021 6026 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6022 6027 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6023 6028
6024 6029 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6025 6030
6026 6031 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6027 6032 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6028 6033
6029 6034 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6030 6035 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6031 6036 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6032 6037 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6033 6038 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6034 6039 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6035 6040 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6036 6041 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6037 6042 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6038 6043 works.
6039 6044
6040 6045 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6041 6046
6042 6047 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6043 6048 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6044 6049 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6045 6050 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6046 6051 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6047 6052 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6048 6053 all the editors, less does that.
6049 6054
6050 6055 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6051 6056
6052 6057 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6053 6058 crash IPython.
6054 6059
6055 6060 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6056 6061
6057 6062 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6058 6063
6059 6064 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6060 6065 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6061 6066 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6062 6067 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6063 6068 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6064 6069 work in _ofind.
6065 6070
6066 6071 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6067 6072 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6068 6073 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6069 6074 (famous last words).
6070 6075
6071 6076 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6072 6077 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6073 6078 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6074 6079 windows).
6075 6080
6076 6081 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6077 6082 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6078 6083
6079 6084 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6080 6085 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6081 6086 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6082 6087 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6083 6088
6084 6089 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6085 6090 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6086 6091 licences and announce it.
6087 6092
6088 6093 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6089 6094 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6090 6095 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6091 6096 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6092 6097
6093 6098 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6094 6099
6095 6100 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6096 6101 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6097 6102 lists.
6098 6103
6099 6104 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6100 6105 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6101 6106 are ok.
6102 6107
6103 6108 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6104 6109 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6105 6110
6106 6111 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6107 6112 this to Nathan.
6108 6113
6109 6114 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6110 6115
6111 6116 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6112 6117 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6113 6118 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6114 6119
6115 6120 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6116 6121 accepted). Cleaner.
6117 6122
6118 6123 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6119 6124 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6120 6125 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6121 6126 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6122 6127 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6123 6128
6124 6129 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6125 6130
6126 6131 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6127 6132 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6128 6133 history after a log replay.
6129 6134
6130 6135 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6131 6136 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6132 6137 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6133 6138 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6134 6139 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6135 6140 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6136 6141
6137 6142 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6138 6143 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6139 6144 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6140 6145 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6141 6146 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6142 6147
6143 6148 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6144 6149
6145 6150 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6146 6151 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6147 6152 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6148 6153 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6149 6154 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6150 6155 one: cache_size.
6151 6156
6152 6157 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6153 6158 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6154 6159 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6155 6160 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6156 6161
6157 6162 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6158 6163 @ or not).
6159 6164
6160 6165 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6161 6166 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6162 6167 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6163 6168 about licensing).
6164 6169
6165 6170 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6166 6171
6167 6172 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6168 6173 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6169 6174
6170 6175 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6171 6176 screen size for page() operations.
6172 6177
6173 6178 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6174 6179 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6175 6180 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6176 6181 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6177 6182
6178 6183 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6179 6184 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6180 6185 option name tables are clearer.
6181 6186
6182 6187 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6183 6188 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6184 6189 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6185 6190 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6186 6191 was also changed a little to align better.
6187 6192
6188 6193 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6189 6194 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6190 6195
6191 6196 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6192 6197 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6193 6198 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6194 6199
6195 6200 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6196 6201 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6197 6202 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6198 6203 he needs it.
6199 6204
6200 6205 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6201 6206
6202 6207 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6203 6208 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6204 6209 warning on it.
6205 6210
6206 6211 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6207 6212 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6208 6213 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6209 6214 was too long).
6210 6215
6211 6216 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6212 6217 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6213 6218 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6214 6219
6215 6220 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6216 6221 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6217 6222 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6218 6223 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6219 6224 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6220 6225 function for the same task.
6221 6226
6222 6227 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6223 6228
6224 6229 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6225 6230
6226 6231 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6227 6232 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6228 6233 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6229 6234
6230 6235 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6231 6236 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6232 6237 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6233 6238
6234 6239 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6235 6240 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6236 6241 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6237 6242
6238 6243 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6239 6244
6240 6245 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6241 6246
6242 6247 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6243 6248 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6244 6249 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6245 6250
6246 6251 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6247 6252
6248 6253 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6249 6254
6250 6255 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6251 6256
6252 6257 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6253 6258 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6254 6259 maintain.
6255 6260
6256 6261 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6257 6262 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6258 6263 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6259 6264 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6260 6265 compiled and startup is much faster.
6261 6266
6262 6267 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6263 6268 while without messing too much more with the code.
6264 6269
6265 6270 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6266 6271
6267 6272 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6268 6273
6269 6274 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6270 6275 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6271 6276 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6272 6277
6273 6278 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6274 6279 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6275 6280
6276 6281 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6277 6282 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6278 6283 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6279 6284 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6280 6285 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6281 6286 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6282 6287
6283 6288 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6284 6289 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6285 6290
6286 6291 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6287 6292 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6288 6293
6289 6294 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6290 6295 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6291 6296 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6292 6297 excessive.
6293 6298
6294 6299 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6295 6300 types (only first word was displayed).
6296 6301
6297 6302 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6298 6303
6299 6304 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6300 6305
6301 6306 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6302 6307 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6303 6308 travel along many directories.
6304 6309
6305 6310 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6306 6311 arguments with default values.
6307 6312
6308 6313 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6309 6314
6310 6315 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6311 6316 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6312 6317
6313 6318 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6314 6319
6315 6320 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6316 6321 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6317 6322 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6318 6323
6319 6324 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6320 6325
6321 6326 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6322 6327 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6323 6328 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6324 6329 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6325 6330 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6326 6331 purposes.
6327 6332
6328 6333 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6329 6334 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6330 6335 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6331 6336 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6332 6337 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6333 6338 one can simply say
6334 6339 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6335 6340 or even
6336 6341 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6337 6342
6338 6343 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6339 6344 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6340 6345 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6341 6346
6342 6347 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6343 6348 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6344 6349 they were defined in
6345 6350
6346 6351 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6347 6352
6348 6353 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6349 6354 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6350 6355 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6351 6356 these to show the same information.
6352 6357
6353 6358 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6354 6359
6355 6360 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6356 6361 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6357 6362 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6358 6363 backtracked on the whole class!)
6359 6364
6360 6365 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6361 6366 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6362 6367 everything works as before).
6363 6368
6364 6369 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6365 6370 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6366 6371 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6367 6372 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6368 6373
6369 6374 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6370 6375
6371 6376 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6372 6377
6373 6378 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6374 6379 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6375 6380
6376 6381 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6377 6382 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6378 6383 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6379 6384 this later.
6380 6385
6381 6386 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6382 6387
6383 6388 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6384 6389 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6385 6390 line option.
6386 6391
6387 6392 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6388 6393 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6389 6394 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6390 6395 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6391 6396 didn't return a result).
6392 6397
6393 6398 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6394 6399
6395 6400 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6396 6401
6397 6402 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6398 6403 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6399 6404 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6400 6405 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6401 6406
6402 6407 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6403 6408
6404 6409 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6405 6410
6406 6411 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6407 6412 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6408 6413
6409 6414 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6410 6415 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6411 6416 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6412 6417 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6413 6418 in with the next entry:
6414 6419
6415 6420 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6416 6421 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6417 6422 handling.
6418 6423
6419 6424 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6420 6425 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6421 6426 namespace protection and documentation.
6422 6427
6423 6428 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6424 6429
6425 6430 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6426 6431 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6427 6432
6428 6433 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6429 6434
6430 6435 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6431 6436
6432 6437 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6433 6438
6434 6439 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6435 6440 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6436 6441 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6437 6442 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6438 6443 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6439 6444
6440 6445 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6441 6446 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6442 6447 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6443 6448
6444 6449 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6445 6450
6446 6451 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6447 6452 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6448 6453
6449 6454 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6450 6455
6451 6456 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6452 6457
6453 6458 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6454 6459 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6455 6460 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6456 6461 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6457 6462 ScientificPython.
6458 6463
6459 6464 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6460 6465
6461 6466 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6462 6467 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6463 6468 when called with no args.
6464 6469
6465 6470 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6466 6471 closely.
6467 6472
6468 6473 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6469 6474 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6470 6475 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6471 6476 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6472 6477 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6473 6478
6474 6479 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6475 6480
6476 6481 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6477 6482 customizations there and access them via import.
6478 6483
6479 6484 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6480 6485
6481 6486 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6482 6487
6483 6488 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6484 6489 Nathan and Janko.
6485 6490
6486 6491 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6487 6492
6488 6493 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6489 6494 too long.
6490 6495
6491 6496 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6492 6497
6493 6498 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6494 6499 ?sin and sin?
6495 6500 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6496 6501 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6497 6502 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6498 6503 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6499 6504
6500 6505 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6501 6506
6502 6507 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6503 6508
6504 6509 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6505 6510 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6506 6511
6507 6512 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6508 6513 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6509 6514 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6510 6515 me).
6511 6516
6512 6517 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6513 6518 protected (reasonably).
6514 6519
6515 6520 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6516 6521 note through it (it was too long).
6517 6522
6518 6523 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6519 6524 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6520 6525 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6521 6526 parameters.
6522 6527
6523 6528
6524 6529 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6525 6530
6526 6531 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6527 6532 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6528 6533 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6529 6534
6530 6535 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6531 6536 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6532 6537 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6533 6538
6534 6539 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6535 6540
6536 6541 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6537 6542
6538 6543 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6539 6544
6540 6545 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6541 6546 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6542 6547 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6543 6548 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6544 6549 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6545 6550 break.
6546 6551
6547 6552 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6548 6553 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6549 6554 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6550 6555 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6551 6556 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6552 6557 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6553 6558
6554 6559 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6555 6560 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6556 6561 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6557 6562 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6558 6563 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6559 6564 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6560 6565 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6561 6566 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6562 6567 trick.
6563 6568
6564 6569 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6565 6570 session restoring.
6566 6571
6567 6572 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6568 6573 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6569 6574 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6570 6575 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6571 6576 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6572 6577
