9 | Small release of IPython. | |
|
10 | ||
|
11 | - :ghpull:`14080` fixes some shortcuts issues. | |
|
12 | - :ghpull:`14056` Add option to ``%autoreload`` to hide errors when reloading code. This will be the default for spyder | |
|
13 | user is my understanding. | |
|
14 | - :ghpull:`14039` (and :ghpull:`14040`) to show exception notes in tracebacks. | |
|

|
16 | - :ghpull:`14076` Add option to EventManager to prevent printing | |

19 | SPEC 0 and SPEC 4 | |
|
20 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
|
21 | ||
|
22 | You've heard about the NEPs, (NumPy enhancement Proposal), having a NEP for something non-numpy specific was sometime confusing. | |
|
23 | Long live the `SPECs <https://scientific-python.org/specs/>`_. | |
|
24 | ||
|
25 | We are now trying to follow SPEC 0 (aka old NEP 29) for of support of upstream libraries. | |
|
26 | ||
|
27 | We also now try to follow SPEC 4 (test and publish nightly on a centralized nightly repository). | |
|
28 | We encourage you to do so as well in order to report breakage, and contribute to the SPEC process ! | |

31 | Python 3.12 compatibility ? | |
|
32 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
|
33 | ||
|
34 | Python 3.12 changed its tokenizer to have better support for f-strings and allow arbitrary expression. | |
|
35 | This is a great new feature and performance improvement in python 3.12. | |
|
36 | ||
|
37 | Unfortunately this means the new tokenizer does not support incomplete or invalid Python which will | |
|
38 | break many features of IPython. Thus compatibility of IPython with Python 3.12 is not guarantied. | |
|
39 | It is unclear to which extent IPython is affected, and whether we can/should try to still support magics, shell | |
|
40 | escape (``! ....``), ..., as well as how to do it if we can. | |
|
41 | ||
|
42 | In addition even if we there is technical feasibility to do so, it is no clear we have the resources to do it. | |
|
43 | We are thus looking for your help if you can _test_ on Python 3.12 to see to which extent this affects users and which | |
|
44 | features are critical. | |
|
45 | ||
|
46 | We are not going to pin IPython to Python ``<3.12`` as otherwise on install pip would downgrade/resolve to IPython 8.13, | |
|
47 | so if you plan to update to Python 3.12 after its release, we encourage for extra care. | |
