3 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
4 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
5 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
6 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
7 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
8 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
9 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
10 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
11 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)

8 20 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
9 21
10 22 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
11 23
12 24 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
13 25
14 26 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
15 27
16 28 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
17 29 function (using simplegeneric.py).
18 30
19 31 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
20 32
21 33 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
22 34
23 35 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
24 36
25 37 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
26 38 like functionality
27 39
28 40 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
29 41
30 42 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
31 43
32 44 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
33 45 browse the IPython input history
34 46
35 47 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
36 48 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
37 49 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
38 50 the cursor.

40 52 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
41 53
42 54 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
43 55
44 56 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
45 57 moved:
46 58
47 59 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
48 60
49 61 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
50 62 in your ipy_user_conf.py
51 63
52 64 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
53 65 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
54 66 upgrading IPython anymore.
55 67
56 68 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
57 69 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
58 70
59 71 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
60 72 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
61 73 installed as default.
62 74
63 75 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
64 76 handling.
65 77
66 78 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
67 79 input if readline is available.
68 80
69 81 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
70 82
71 83 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
72 84
73 85 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
74 86 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
75 87 no python installation required).
76 88
77 89 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
78 90 its place.
79 91
80 92 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
81 93
82 94 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
83 95
84 96 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
85 97 failure of 'title' system call properly.
86 98
87 99 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
88 100
89 101 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
90 102 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
91 103
92 104 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
93 105
94 106 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
95 107 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
96 108 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
97 109
98 110 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
99 111
100 112 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
101 113 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
102 114
103 115 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
104 116
105 117 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
106 118 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
107 119
108 120 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
109 121 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
110 122
111 123 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
112 124 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
113 125 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
114 126
115 127 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
116 128
117 129 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
118 130 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
119 131 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
120 132 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
121 133
122 134 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
123 135 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
124 136
125 137 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
126 138
127 139 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
128 140 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
129 141 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
130 142 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
131 143
132 144 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
133 145
134 146 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
135 147
136 148 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
137 149 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
138 150
139 151 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
140 152
141 153 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
142 154
143 155 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
144 156
145 157 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
146 158 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
147 159
148 160 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
149 161
150 162 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
151 163
152 164 * Update version number
153 165
154 166 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
155 167
156 168 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
157 169
158 170 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
159 171 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
160 172 bug discovered by Ville).
161 173
162 174 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
163 175
164 176 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
165 177 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
166 178
167 179 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
168 180
169 181
170 182 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
171 183
172 184 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
173 185 Closes #149.
174 186
175 187 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
176 188 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
177 189 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
178 190
179 191 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
180 192
181 193 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
182 194 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
183 195 allows wildcards.
184 196
185 197 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
186 198 as opposed to returning nothing.
187 199
188 200 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
189 201 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
190 202
191 203 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
192 204
193 205 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
194 206 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
195 207
196 208 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
197 209
198 210 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
199 211 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
200 212
201 213 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
202 214
203 215 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
204 216 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
205 217 IPython instance.
206 218
207 219 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
208 220
209 221 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
210 222 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
211 223 'Iptl' template notation,
212 224
213 225 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
214 226 safer & faster 'import' completer.
215 227
216 228 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
217 229 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
218 230
219 231 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
220 232 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
221 233 defmacro() etc.)
222 234
223 235 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
224 236
225 237 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
226 238
227 239 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
228 240
229 241 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
230 242
231 243 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
232 244 and later on win32.
233 245
234 246 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
235 247
236 248 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
237 249
238 250 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
239 251
240 252 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
241 253 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
242 254
243 255 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
244 256
245 257 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
246 258
247 259 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
248 260
249 261 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
250 262
251 263 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
252 264
253 265 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
254 266 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
255 267 every %run call.
256 268
257 269 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
258 270 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
259 271 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
260 272
261 273 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
262 274
263 275 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
264 276 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
265 277 Stefan for the fix.
266 278
267 279 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
268 280 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
269 281 him.
270 282
271 283 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
272 284 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
273 285 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
274 286 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
275 287
276 288 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
277 289 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
278 290 each runcode access.
279 291
280 292 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
281 293 message.
282 294
283 295 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
284 296
285 297 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
286 298 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
287 299 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
288 300
289 301 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
290 302 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
291 303 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
292 304 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
293 305 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
294 306 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
295 307 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
296 308 anything up until we know if it actually works.
297 309
298 310 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
299 311 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
300 312 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
301 313 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
302 314 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
303 315
304 316 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
305 317
306 318 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
307 319 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
308 320 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
309 321
310 322 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
311 323
312 324 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
313 325 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
314 326 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
315 327
316 328 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
317 329
318 330 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
319 331 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
320 332 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
321 333 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
322 334 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
323 335
324 336 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
325 337
326 338 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
327 339 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
328 340
329 341 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
330 342 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
331 343 details in comments left in the code.
332 344
333 345 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
334 346 similar to what we had for Numeric.
335 347
336 348 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
337 349 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
338 350 than readline. Closes #109.
339 351
340 352 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
341 353 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
342 354
343 355 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
344 356
345 357 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
346 358 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
347 359 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
348 360 ongoing Unicode support work.
349 361
350 362 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
351 363 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
352 364 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
353 365 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
354 366
355 367 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
356 368
357 369 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
358 370 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
359 371
360 372 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
361 373
362 374 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
363 375 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
364 376 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
365 377
366 378 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
367 379
368 380 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
369 381 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
370 382 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
371 383 long definition lines for functions.
372 384
373 385 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
374 386
375 387 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
376 388 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
377 389 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
378 390 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
379 391
380 392 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
381 393
382 394 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
383 395
384 396 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
385 397
386 398 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
387 399 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
388 400 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
389 401
390 402 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
391 403 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
392 404
393 405 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
394 406 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.

396 408 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
397 409
398 410 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
399 411 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
400 412 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
401 413
402 414 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
403 415
404 416 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
405 417 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
406 418
407 419 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
408 420 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
409 421 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
410 422 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
411 423 sometimes return "" as last element.
412 424
413 425 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
414 426
415 427 * IPython/completer.py
416 428 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
417 429 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
418 430 would be completed too early.
419 431
420 432 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
421 433 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
422 434 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
423 435 backwards compatibility.
424 436
425 437 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
426 438 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
427 439 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
428 440 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
429 441 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
430 442 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
431 443 also works when debugging.
432 444
433 445 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
434 446 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
435 447
436 448 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
437 449 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
438 450 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
439 451
440 452 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
441 453 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
442 454 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
443 455
444 456 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
445 457 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
446 458
447 459 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
448 460
449 461 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
450 462 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
451 463 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
452 464
453 465 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
454 466
455 467 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
456 468 to be installed alongside igrid.
457 469 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
458 470 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
459 471 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
460 472
461 473 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
462 474
463 475 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
464 476 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
465 477 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
466 478
467 479 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
468 480
469 481 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
470 482 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
471 483
472 484 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
473 485 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
474 486
475 487 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
476 488
477 489 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
478 490 as the default browser.
479 491 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
480 492 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
481 493 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
482 494 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
483 495
484 496 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
485 497
486 498 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
487 499 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
488 500 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
489 501
490 502 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
491 503
492 504 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
493 505 Close help window if exiting igrid.
494 506
495 507 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
496 508
497 509 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
498 510 before calling functions from readline.
499 511
500 512 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
501 513
502 514 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
503 515 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
504 516 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
505 517 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
506 518 falls back to idump.
507 519
508 520 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
509 521
510 522 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
511 523 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
512 524 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
513 525 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
514 526
515 527 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
516 528
517 529 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
518 530 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
519 531 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
520 532 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
521 533 %magic with explicit % prefix.
522 534
523 535 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
524 536
525 537 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
526 538 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
527 539
528 540 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
529 541
530 542 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
531 543 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
532 544 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
533 545 one wants those instead.
534 546
535 547 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
536 548 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
537 549 instead.
538 550
539 551 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
540 552
541 553 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
542 554 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
543 555 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
544 556 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
545 557
546 558 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
547 559
548 560 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
549 561 stop marks.
550 562 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
551 563 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
552 564 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
553 565
554 566 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
555 567
556 568 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
557 569 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
558 570 sumbmitted to upstream.
559 571
560 572 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
561 573
562 574 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
563 575 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
564 576 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
565 577 running into an empty levels list later.
566 578
567 579 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
568 580
569 581 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
570 582 for the noitem object.
571 583
572 584 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
573 585
574 586 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
575 587 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
576 588 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
577 589 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
578 590
579 591 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
580 592
581 593 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
582 594 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
583 595 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
584 596 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
585 597 filenames.
586 598
587 599 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
588 600 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
589 601 out-of-process ipython code.
590 602
591 603 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
592 604 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
593 605 doctesting.
594 606
595 607 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
596 608
597 609 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
598 610
599 611 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
600 612 not being correctly recognized.
601 613
602 614 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
603 615
604 616 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
605 617 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
606 618 only item.
607 619
608 620 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
609 621 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
610 622 infinite recursion for one line strings).
611 623
612 624 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
613 625
614 626 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
615 627 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
616 628 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
617 629
618 630 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
619 631
620 632 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
621 633 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
622 634 "%env VISUAL=jed".
623 635
624 636 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
625 637
626 638 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
627 639 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
628 640 but I'm not exactly sure why).
629 641
630 642 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
631 643 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
632 644
633 645 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 646
635 647 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
636 648 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
637 649
638 650 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
639 651 the time during IPython startup is spent.
640 652
641 653 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
642 654
643 655 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
644 656
645 657 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
646 658
647 659 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
648 660
649 661 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
650 662
651 663 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
652 664 to work properly on posix too
653 665
654 666 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
655 667
656 668 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
657 669
658 670 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
659 671 prefix + "/scripts".
660 672
661 673 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
662 674
663 675 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
664 676
665 677 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
666 678 if they already exist
667 679
668 680 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
669 681
670 682 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
671 683
672 684 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
673 685
674 686 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
675 687
676 688 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
677 689 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
678 690 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
679 691
680 692 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
681 693
682 694 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
683 695 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
684 696 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
685 697
686 698 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
687 699 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
688 700 in ipy_user_conf.py
689 701
690 702
691 703 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
692 704 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
693 705 as IPython script.
694 706
695 707 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
696 708
697 709 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
698 710
699 711 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
700 712 is called before any exception has occurred.
701 713
702 714 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
703 715
704 716 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
705 717 to translate /'s to \'s again.
706 718
707 719 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
708 720 backslash.
709 721
710 722 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
711 723
712 724 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
713 725
714 726 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
715 727 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
716 728 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
717 729
718 730 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
719 731 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
720 732
721 733 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
722 734 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
723 735
724 736 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
725 737
726 738 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
727 739
728 740 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
729 741 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
730 742
731 743 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
732 744 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
733 745 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
734 746 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
735 747 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
736 748 mapped to "%" now.
737 749 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
738 750
739 751 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
740 752
741 753 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
742 754 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
743 755 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
744 756 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
745 757
746 758 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
747 759
748 760 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
749 761 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
750 762 for shell escapes.
751 763
752 764 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
753 765
754 766 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
755 767 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
756 768 vcs_completer.
757 769
758 770 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
759 771
760 772 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
761 773 directly instead!
762 774
763 775 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
764 776
765 777 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
766 778 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
767 779
768 780 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
769 781 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
770 782 explicit.
771 783
772 784 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
773 785 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
774 786
775 787 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
776 788
777 789 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
778 790
779 791 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
780 792 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
781 793 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
782 794 implementation for Text is useless.
783 795
784 796 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
785 797
786 798 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
787 799
788 800 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
789 801
790 802 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
791 803 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
792 804 "profile"

794 806 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
795 807
796 808 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
797 809 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
798 810
799 811 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
800 812 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
801 813
802 814
803 815 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
804 816 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
805 817 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
806 818
807 819 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
808 820
809 821 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
810 822 with one from UserConfig.
811 823
812 824 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
813 825 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
814 826
815 827 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
816 828 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
817 829 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
818 830
819 831 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
820 832
821 833 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
822 834
823 835 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
824 836
825 837 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
826 838
827 839 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
828 840
829 841 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
830 842
831 843 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
832 844
833 845 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
834 846
835 847 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
836 848 by eval of expr with dots.
837 849
838 850 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
839 851
840 852 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
841 853 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
842 854 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
843 855 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
844 856 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
845 857 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
846 858
847 859 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
848 860
849 861 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
850 862 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
851 863 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
852 864
853 865 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
854 866 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
855 867 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
856 868 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
857 869 funtionality in ipconfig.
858 870
859 871 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
860 872 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
861 873 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
862 874 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
863 875
864 876 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
865 877
866 878 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
867 879 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
868 880 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
869 881 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
870 882 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
871 883 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
872 884 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
873 885 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
874 886 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
875 887 descriptors.
876 888
877 889 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
878 890 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
879 891
880 892 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
881 893 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
882 894
883 895 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
884 896
885 897 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
886 898
887 899 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
888 900
889 901 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
890 902 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
891 903 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
892 904
893 905 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
894 906 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
895 907 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
896 908
897 909 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
898 910 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
899 911 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
900 912 ipy_stock_completers.
901 913
902 914 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
903 915
904 916 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
905 917
906 918 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
907 919 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
908 920 when filtering possible completions.
909 921
910 922 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
911 923
912 924 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
913 925 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
914 926 function
915 927
916 928
917 929 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
918 930
919 931 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
920 932 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
921 933 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
922 934 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
923 935 SVN completer.
924 936
925 937 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
926 938 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
927 939 name is %led.
928 940
929 941 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
930 942
931 943 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
932 944 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
933 945 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
934 946
935 947 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
936 948 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
937 949 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
938 950 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
939 951 hook name is 'complete_command'.
940 952
941 953 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
942 954
943 955 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
944 956 Numeric leftovers.
945 957
946 958 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
947 959 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
948 960
949 961 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
950 962 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
951 963
952 964 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
953 965 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
954 966
955 967 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
956 968 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
957 969 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
958 970
959 971 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
960 972
961 973 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
962 974 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
963 975 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
964 976
965 977 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
966 978 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
967 979
968 980 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
969 981
970 982 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
971 983 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
972 984 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
973 985
974 986 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
975 987
976 988 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
977 989 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
978 990 internal crash handler.
979 991
980 992 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
981 993 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
982 994 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
983 995 at the request of SAGE.
984 996
985 997 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
986 998
987 999 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
988 1000 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
989 1001
990 1002 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
991 1003 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
992 1004 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
993 1005 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
994 1006
995 1007 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
996 1008 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
997 1009 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
998 1010
999 1011 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1000 1012
1001 1013 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1002 1014 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1003 1015 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1004 1016
1005 1017 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1006 1018 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1007 1019
1008 1020 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1009 1021
1010 1022 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1011 1023 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1012 1024 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1013 1025 Stefan.
1014 1026
1015 1027 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1016 1028
1017 1029 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1018 1030 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1019 1031 sys.stdout.close().
1020 1032
1021 1033 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1022 1034
1023 1035 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1024 1036 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1025 1037 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1026 1038 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1027 1039
1028 1040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1029 1041 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1030 1042 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1031 1043
1032 1044 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1033 1045 2.5.
1034 1046
1035 1047 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1036 1048 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1037 1049 interactively.
1038 1050
1039 1051 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1040 1052
1041 1053 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1042 1054 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1043 1055
1044 1056 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1045 1057
1046 1058 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1047 1059 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1048 1060 or only files.
1049 1061
1050 1062 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1051 1063
1052 1064 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1053 1065 they broke unittest
1054 1066
1055 1067 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1056 1068
1057 1069 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1058 1070 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1059 1071 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1060 1072 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1061 1073
1062 1074 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1063 1075
1064 1076 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1065 1077 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1066 1078 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1067 1079 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1068 1080 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1069 1081
1070 1082 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1071 1083
1072 1084 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1073 1085 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1074 1086
1075 1087 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1076 1088
1077 1089 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1078 1090 the mode argument).
1079 1091
1080 1092 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1081 1093
1082 1094 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1083 1095 not running under IPython.
1084 1096
1085 1097 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1086 1098 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1087 1099 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1088 1100 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1089 1101 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1090 1102 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1091 1103 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1092 1104 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1093 1105 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1094 1106 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1095 1107 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1096 1108 are still supported.
1097 1109
1098 1110 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1099 1111 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1100 1112 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1101 1113 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1102 1114
1103 1115 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1104 1116 encoding into methods.
1105 1117
1106 1118 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1107 1119
1108 1120 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1109 1121 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1110 1122
1111 1123 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1112 1124
1113 1125 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1114 1126 non existing attributes.
1115 1127
1116 1128 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1117 1129
1118 1130 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1119 1131 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1120 1132
1121 1133 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1122 1134
1123 1135 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1124 1136 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1125 1137
1126 1138 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1127 1139
1128 1140 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1129 1141 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1130 1142 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1131 1143
1132 1144 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1133 1145
1134 1146 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1135 1147 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1136 1148 Stefan van der Walt.
1137 1149
1138 1150 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1139 1151
1140 1152 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1141 1153 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1142 1154
1143 1155 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1144 1156
1145 1157 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1146 1158 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1147 1159 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1148 1160
1149 1161 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1150 1162
1151 1163 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1152 1164 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1153 1165 attributes.
1154 1166
1155 1167 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1156 1168
1157 1169 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1158 1170 commands into the methods implementing them.
1159 1171
1160 1172 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1161 1173
1162 1174 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1163 1175 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1164 1176 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1165 1177
1166 1178 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1167 1179
1168 1180 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1169 1181 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1170 1182
1171 1183 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1172 1184
1173 1185 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1174 1186 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1175 1187
1176 1188 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1177 1189
1178 1190 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1179 1191 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1180 1192 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1181 1193 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1182 1194 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1183 1195 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1184 1196 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1185 1197 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1186 1198 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1187 1199 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1188 1200 the x key to "delete".
1189 1201
1190 1202 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1191 1203
1192 1204 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1193 1205 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1194 1206 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1195 1207 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1196 1208
1197 1209 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1198 1210 prompt
1199 1211
1200 1212 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1201 1213
1202 1214 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1203 1215
1204 1216 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1205 1217 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1206 1218 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1207 1219 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1208 1220
1209 1221 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1210 1222
1211 1223 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1212 1224 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1213 1225 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1214 1226 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1215 1227 doesn't work properly yet.
1216 1228
1217 1229 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1218 1230
1219 1231 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1220 1232 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1221 1233 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1222 1234
1223 1235 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1224 1236
1225 1237 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1226 1238 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1227 1239 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1228 1240 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1229 1241 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1230 1242 execute commands.
1231 1243
1232 1244 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1233 1245
1234 1246 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1235 1247 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1236 1248
1237 1249 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1238 1250
1239 1251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1240 1252 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1241 1253
1242 1254 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1243 1255
1244 1256 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1245 1257 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1246 1258 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1247 1259
1248 1260 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1249 1261
1250 1262 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1251 1263
1252 1264 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1253 1265 Repo tagged and release cut.
1254 1266
1255 1267 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1256 1268
1257 1269 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1258 1270 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1259 1271
1260 1272 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1261 1273 (for %upgrade)
1262 1274
1263 1275 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1264 1276
1265 1277 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1266 1278 instead of looping 20 times.
1267 1279
1268 1280 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1269 1281 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1270 1282 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1271 1283
1272 1284 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1273 1285 testing for release on 06/06.
1274 1286
1275 1287 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1276 1288
1277 1289 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1278 1290 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1279 1291 live in people's PATH.
1280 1292
1281 1293 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1282 1294 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1283 1295 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1284 1296 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1285 1297 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1286 1298
1287 1299 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1288 1300 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1289 1301
1290 1302 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1291 1303
1292 1304 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1293 1305 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1294 1306
1295 1307 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1296 1308
1297 1309 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1298 1310 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1299 1311 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1300 1312
1301 1313 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1302 1314
1303 1315 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1304 1316 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1305 1317 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1306 1318 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1307 1319
1308 1320 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1309 1321 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1310 1322 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1311 1323 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1312 1324
1313 1325 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1314 1326 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1315 1327 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1316 1328 work.
1317 1329
1318 1330 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1319 1331
1320 1332 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1321 1333 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1322 1334
1323 1335 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1324 1336 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1325 1337 author William Stein.
1326 1338
1327 1339 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1328 1340 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1329 1341 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1330 1342 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1331 1343 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1332 1344 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1333 1345 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1334 1346 objects more easily.
1335 1347
1336 1348 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1337 1349
1338 1350 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1339 1351 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1340 1352 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1341 1353 by Jeffrey Collins.
1342 1354
1343 1355 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1344 1356 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1345 1357 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1346 1358 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1347 1359
1348 1360 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1349 1361 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1350 1362 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1351 1363 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1352 1364
1353 1365 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1354 1366 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1355 1367 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1356 1368 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1357 1369 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1358 1370 compatibility)
1359 1371
1360 1372 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1361 1373 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1362 1374 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1363 1375
1364 1376 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1365 1377 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1366 1378 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1367 1379 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1368 1380 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1369 1381
1370 1382 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1371 1383 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1372 1384 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1373 1385
1374 1386 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1375 1387 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1376 1388 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1377 1389 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1378 1390 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1379 1391 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1380 1392 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1381 1393
1382 1394 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1383 1395 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1384 1396 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1385 1397
1386 1398 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1387 1399 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1388 1400 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1389 1401
1390 1402 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1391 1403 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1392 1404
1393 1405 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1394 1406
1395 1407 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1396 1408 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1397 1409 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1398 1410 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1399 1411 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1400 1412 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1401 1413 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1402 1414 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1403 1415 while running under SAGE.
1404 1416
1405 1417 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1406 1418
1407 1419 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1408 1420 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1409 1421 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1410 1422 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1411 1423
1412 1424 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1413 1425
1414 1426 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1415 1427 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1416 1428 updated.
1417 1429
1418 1430 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1419 1431 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1420 1432 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1421 1433 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1422 1434 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1423 1435
1424 1436 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1425 1437 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1426 1438 so more testing is needed...
1427 1439
1428 1440 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1429 1441
1430 1442 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1431 1443 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1432 1444 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1433 1445 when doing complex debugging.
1434 1446 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1435 1447 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1436 1448 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1437 1449 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1438 1450
1439 1451 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1440 1452
1441 1453 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1442 1454 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1443 1455 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1444 1456 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1445 1457
1446 1458 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1447 1459
1448 1460 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1449 1461 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1450 1462
1451 1463 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1452 1464
1453 1465 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1454 1466 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1455 1467 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1456 1468 been the one to acquire it.
1457 1469
1458 1470 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1459 1471
1460 1472 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1461 1473
1462 1474 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1463 1475
1464 1476 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1465 1477 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1466 1478 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1467 1479
1468 1480 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1469 1481 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1470 1482 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1471 1483 properly flush the output cache.
1472 1484
1473 1485 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1474 1486 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1475 1487
1476 1488 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1477 1489
1478 1490 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1479 1491 are quoted
1480 1492
1481 1493 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1482 1494
1483 1495 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1484 1496 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1485 1497
1486 1498 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1487 1499 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1488 1500
1489 1501 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1490 1502
1491 1503 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1492 1504 %upgrade magic
1493 1505
1494 1506 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1495 1507
1496 1508 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1497 1509 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1498 1510 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1499 1511
1500 1512 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1501 1513
1502 1514 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1503 1515 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1504 1516
1505 1517 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1506 1518 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1507 1519 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1508 1520 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1509 1521 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1510 1522
1511 1523 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1512 1524
1513 1525 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1514 1526 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1515 1527
1516 1528 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1517 1529
1518 1530 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1519 1531 Torsten Marek.

1522 1534
1523 1535 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1524 1536 line ranges works again.
1525 1537
1526 1538 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1527 1539
1528 1540 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1529 1541 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1530 1542 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1531 1543 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1532 1544 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1533 1545
1534 1546 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1535 1547 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1536 1548 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1537 1549 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1538 1550 more.
1539 1551
1540 1552 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1541 1553
1542 1554 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1543 1555 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1544 1556
1545 1557 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1546 1558
1547 1559 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1548 1560 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1549 1561
1550 1562 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1551 1563
1552 1564 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1553 1565
1554 1566 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1555 1567
1556 1568 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1557 1569
1558 1570 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1559 1571 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1560 1572 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1561 1573
1562 1574 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1563 1575
1564 1576 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1565 1577 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1566 1578 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1567 1579 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1568 1580
1569 1581 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1570 1582 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1571 1583
1572 1584 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1573 1585 contributed by marienz to close
1574 1586 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1575 1587
1576 1588 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1577 1589
1578 1590 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1579 1591
1580 1592 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1581 1593 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1582 1594 nonsense.
1583 1595
1584 1596 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1585 1597
1586 1598 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1587 1599 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1588 1600
1589 1601 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1590 1602
1591 1603 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1592 1604
1593 1605 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1594 1606 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1595 1607
1596 1608 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1597 1609
1598 1610 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1599 1611 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1600 1612 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1601 1613 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1602 1614 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1603 1615 SAGE team.
1604 1616 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1605 1617 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1606 1618
1607 1619 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1608 1620 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1609 1621 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1610 1622 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1611 1623 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1612 1624
1613 1625 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1614 1626
1615 1627 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1616 1628 correctly now (on Linux)
1617 1629
1618 1630 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1619 1631 warnings
1620 1632
1621 1633 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1622 1634
1623 1635 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1624 1636
1625 1637
1626 1638 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1627 1639
1628 1640 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1629 1641 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1630 1642 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1631 1643 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1632 1644 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1633 1645 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1634 1646 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1635 1647 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1636 1648
1637 1649 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1638 1650
1639 1651 * aliases can now be %store'd
1640 1652
1641 1653 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1642 1654 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1643 1655 at __init__.
1644 1656
1645 1657 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1646 1658 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1647 1659
1648 1660 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1649 1661
1650 1662 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1651 1663 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1652 1664 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1653 1665
1654 1666 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1655 1667
1656 1668 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1657 1669
1658 1670 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1659 1671
1660 1672 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1661 1673 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1662 1674 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1663 1675 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1664 1676
1665 1677 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1666 1678 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1667 1679
1668 1680 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1669 1681
1670 1682 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1671 1683 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1672 1684 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1673 1685 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1674 1686
1675 1687 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1676 1688 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1677 1689 usage.
1678 1690
1679 1691 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1680 1692 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1681 1693 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1682 1694
1683 1695 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1684 1696
1685 1697 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1686 1698 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1687 1699
1688 1700 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1689 1701 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1690 1702 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1691 1703
1692 1704 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1693 1705
1694 1706 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1695 1707
1696 1708 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1697 1709
1698 1710 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1699 1711 are now more helpful:
1700 1712 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1701 1713
1702 1714 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1703 1715
1704 1716 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1705 1717 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1706 1718
1707 1719 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1708 1720
1709 1721 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1710 1722 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1711 1723
1712 1724 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1713 1725 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1714 1726 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1715 1727
1716 1728 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1717 1729
1718 1730
1719 1731 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1720 1732
1721 1733 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1722 1734 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1723 1735
1724 1736 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1725 1737
1726 1738 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1727 1739 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1728 1740 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1729 1741 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1730 1742 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1731 1743 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1732 1744
1733 1745 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1734 1746
1735 1747 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1736 1748 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1737 1749 \python24\scripts).
1738 1750
1739 1751 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1740 1752 egg.
1741 1753
1742 1754 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1743 1755
1744 1756 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1745 1757
1746 1758 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1747 1759
1748 1760 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1749 1761
1750 1762 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1751 1763
1752 1764 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1753 1765 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1754 1766 \python24\scripts).
1755 1767
1756 1768 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1757 1769 egg.
1758 1770
1759 1771 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1760 1772
1761 1773 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1762 1774 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1763 1775 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1764 1776
1765 1777 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1766 1778 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1767 1779 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1768 1780 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1769 1781
1770 1782 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1771 1783 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1772 1784 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1773 1785 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1774 1786 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1775 1787 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1776 1788 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1777 1789 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1778 1790 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1779 1791 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1780 1792 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1781 1793 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1782 1794
1783 1795 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1784 1796
1785 1797 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1786 1798 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1787 1799 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1788 1800 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1789 1801
1790 1802 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1791 1803
1792 1804 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1793 1805 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1794 1806 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1795 1807 importing extensions easy.
1796 1808
1797 1809 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1798 1810 classes / instances of those classes.
1799 1811
1800 1812 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1801 1813 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1802 1814 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1803 1815 the user.
1804 1816
1805 1817 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1806 1818 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1807 1819 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1808 1820
1809 1821 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1810 1822
1811 1823 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1812 1824 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1813 1825 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1814 1826 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1815 1827 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1816 1828 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1817 1829 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1818 1830 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1819 1831 the method.
1820 1832
1821 1833 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1822 1834
1823 1835 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1824 1836 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1825 1837
1826 1838 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1839
1828 1840 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1829 1841 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1830 1842 Vivian.
1831 1843
1832 1844 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1833 1845 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1834 1846 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1835 1847 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1836 1848 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1837 1849
1838 1850 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1839 1851
1840 1852 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1841 1853 that returns file contents on exit.
1842 1854
1843 1855 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1844 1856 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1845 1857 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1846 1858 sc files=ls
1847 1859 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1848 1860 print p,p.mtime
1849 1861
1850 1862 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1851 1863 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1852 1864 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1853 1865 instead of syntax error.
1854 1866
1855 1867
1856 1868 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1857 1869
1858 1870 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1859 1871 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1860 1872 data.
1861 1873
1862 1874 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1863 1875 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1864 1876 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1865 1877 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1866 1878
1867 1879 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1868 1880 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1869 1881 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1870 1882 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1871 1883 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1872 1884 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1873 1885
1874 1886 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1875 1887
1876 1888 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1877 1889 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1878 1890 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1879 1891 current dir.
1880 1892
1881 1893 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1882 1894 had to create new files.
1883 1895
1884 1896 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1885 1897 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1886 1898 future.
1887 1899
1888 1900 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1889 1901 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1890 1902 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1891 1903
1892 1904
1893 1905 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1894 1906
1895 1907 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1896 1908 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1897 1909 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1898 1910 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1899 1911 later.
1900 1912
1901 1913 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1902 1914 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1903 1915
1904 1916 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1905 1917
1906 1918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1907 1919 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1908 1920 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1909 1921 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1910 1922 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1911 1923 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1912 1924
1913 1925 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1914 1926
1915 1927 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1916 1928 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1917 1929 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1918 1930 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1919 1931 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1920 1932 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1921 1933 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1922 1934 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1923 1935 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1924 1936 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1925 1937
1926 1938 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1927 1939 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1928 1940 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1929 1941 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1930 1942
1931 1943 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1932 1944 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1933 1945 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1934 1946 "setup.py install" between changes).
1935 1947
1936 1948 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1937 1949 if 1:
1938 1950 !ls
1939 1951 !!ls
1940 1952
1941 1953 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1942 1954
1943 1955 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1944 1956 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1945 1957 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1946 1958 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1947 1959
1948 1960 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1949 1961 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1950 1962 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1951 1963
1952 1964 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1953 1965
1954 1966 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1955 1967 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1956 1968 win32.
1957 1969
1958 1970 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1959 1971
1960 1972 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1961 1973
1962 1974 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1963 1975 ready for release.
1964 1976
1965 1977 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1966 1978 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1967 1979 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1968 1980 where to copy the info from.
1969 1981
1970 1982 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1971 1983
1972 1984 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1973 1985 support in the release tools as well.
1974 1986
1975 1987 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1976 1988
1977 1989 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1978 1990 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1979 1991 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1980 1992 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1981 1993
1982 1994 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1983 1995 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1984 1996 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1985 1997
1986 1998 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1987 1999 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1988 2000
1989 2001 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1990 2002 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1991 2003 printer not to work.
1992 2004
1993 2005 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1994 2006
1995 2007 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1996 2008 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1997 2009
1998 2010 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1999 2011
2000 2012 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2001 2013 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2002 2014 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2003 2015
2004 2016 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2005 2017 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2006 2018 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2007 2019
2008 2020 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2009 2021 Ville's patch.
2010 2022
2011 2023 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2012 2024
2013 2025 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2014 2026 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2015 2027 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2016 2028 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2017 2029 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2018 2030 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2019 2031 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2020 2032
2021 2033 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2022 2034 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2023 2035 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2024 2036
2025 2037 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2026 2038
2027 2039 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2028 2040 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2029 2041
2030 2042 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2031 2043 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2032 2044 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2033 2045 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2034 2046 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2035 2047 twister).
2036 2048
2037 2049 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2038 2050 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2039 2051 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2040 2052
2041 2053 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2042 2054 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2043 2055 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2044 2056 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2045 2057 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2046 2058 something inside the dis module.
2047 2059
2048 2060 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2049 2061
2050 2062 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2051 2063 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2052 2064 follows the discussion in
2053 2065 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2054 2066
2055 2067 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2056 2068 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2057 2069 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2058 2070
2059 2071 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2060 2072 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2061 2073 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2062 2074
2063 2075 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2064 2076 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2065 2077 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2066 2078 speed up this routine.
2067 2079
2068 2080 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2069 2081 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2070 2082 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2071 2083 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2072 2084 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2073 2085 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2074 2086 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2075 2087 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2076 2088
2077 2089 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2078 2090 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2079 2091 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2080 2092
2081 2093 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2082 2094 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2083 2095 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2084 2096 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2085 2097 setters don't do anything).
2086 2098
2087 2099 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2088 2100
2089 2101 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2090 2102 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2091 2103 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2092 2104 falling out of sync...)
2093 2105
2094 2106 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2095 2107 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2096 2108 as loops).
2097 2109
2098 2110 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2099 2111 win32 system access.
2100 2112
2101 2113 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2102 2114
2103 2115 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2104 2116 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2105 2117 thread-safe.
2106 2118 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2107 2119 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2108 2120 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2109 2121 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2110 2122 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2111 2123 can still happen.
2112 2124 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2113 2125 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2114 2126 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2115 2127 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2116 2128 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2117 2129 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2118 2130 cleanly.
2119 2131
2120 2132 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2121 2133 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2122 2134 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2123 2135 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2124 2136 users' persisted data.
2125 2137
2126 2138 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2127 2139 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2128 2140 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2129 2141 multiline input (such as macros).
2130 2142
2131 2143 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2132 2144 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2133 2145 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2134 2146 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2135 2147 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2136 2148 informative).
2137 2149
2138 2150 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2139 2151 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2140 2152
2141 2153 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2142 2154 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2143 2155 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2144 2156
2145 2157 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2146 2158 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2147 2159 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2148 2160 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2149 2161 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2150 2162 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2151 2163 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2152 2164 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2153 2165 details.
2154 2166
2155 2167 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2156 2168 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2157 2169 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2158 2170 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2159 2171 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2160 2172
2161 2173 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2162 2174 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2163 2175 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2164 2176 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2165 2177 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2166 2178
2167 2179 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2168 2180 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2169 2181 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2170 2182 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2171 2183 options to %logstart. Closes
2172 2184 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2173 2185 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2174 2186
2175 2187 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2176 2188
2177 2189 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2178 2190 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2179 2191 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2180 2192 list:
2181 2193 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2182 2194
2183 2195 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2184 2196
2185 2197 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2186 2198 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2187 2199 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2188 2200 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2189 2201
2190 2202 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2191 2203 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2192 2204 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2193 2205 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2194 2206 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2195 2207
2196 2208 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2197 2209 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2198 2210 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2199 2211 true by default.
2200 2212
2201 2213 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2202 2214 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2203 2215 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2204 2216 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2205 2217
2206 2218 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2207 2219
2208 2220 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2209 2221 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2210 2222 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2211 2223 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2212 2224 version committed).
2213 2225
2214 2226 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2215 2227 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2216 2228 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2217 2229 discussion on the user list.
2218 2230
2219 2231 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2220 2232 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2221 2233 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2222 2234 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2223 2235
2224 2236 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2225 2237
2226 2238 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2227 2239 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2228 2240 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2229 2241
2230 2242 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2231 2243 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2232 2244 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2233 2245
2234 2246 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2235 2247 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2236 2248 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2237 2249 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2238 2250 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2239 2251 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2240 2252 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2241 2253 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2242 2254 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2243 2255 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2244 2256 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2245 2257 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2246 2258 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2247 2259 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2248 2260 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2249 2261 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2250 2262 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2251 2263 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2252 2264 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2253 2265 branch refactoring.
2254 2266
2255 2267 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2256 2268
2257 2269 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2258 2270 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2259 2271
2260 2272 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2261 2273 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2262 2274 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2263 2275 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2264 2276 worked correctly).
2265 2277
2266 2278 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2267 2279 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2268 2280 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2269 2281
2270 2282 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2271 2283
2272 2284 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2273 2285 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2274 2286 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2275 2287 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2276 2288 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2277 2289 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2278 2290 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2279 2291 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2280 2292
2281 2293 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2282 2294
2283 2295 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2284 2296 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2285 2297 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2286 2298 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2287 2299 on this.
2288 2300
2289 2301 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2290 2302
2291 2303 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2292 2304 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2293 2305 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2294 2306 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2295 2307 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2296 2308
2297 2309 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2298 2310
2299 2311 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2300 2312 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2301 2313 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2302 2314 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2303 2315
2304 2316 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2305 2317
2306 2318 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2307 2319 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2308 2320 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2309 2321
2310 2322 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2311 2323
2312 2324 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2313 2325 startup time.
2314 2326
2315 2327 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2316 2328 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2317 2329 it's working in all cases.
2318 2330
2319 2331 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2320 2332 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2321 2333 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2322 2334 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2323 2335 per-search basis.
2324 2336
2325 2337 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2326 2338
2327 2339 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2328 2340 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2329 2341 of a patch by Jorgen.
2330 2342
2331 2343 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2332 2344
2333 2345 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2334 2346 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2335 2347 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2336 2348
2337 2349 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2338 2350
2339 2351 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2340 2352 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2341 2353 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2342 2354 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2343 2355
2344 2356 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2345 2357
2346 2358 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2347 2359 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2348 2360 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2349 2361 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2350 2362 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2351 2363 implementing this functionality.
2352 2364
2353 2365 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2354 2366
2355 2367 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2356 2368 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2357 2369 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2358 2370 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2359 2371 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2360 2372 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2361 2373 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2362 2374
2363 2375 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2364 2376
2365 2377 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2366 2378 reported by Stephen Walton.
2367 2379
2368 2380 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2369 2381
2370 2382 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2371 2383
2372 2384 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2373 2385 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2374 2386
2375 2387 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2376 2388
2377 2389 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2378 2390 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2379 2391
2380 2392 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2381 2393 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2382 2394
2383 2395 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2384 2396
2385 2397 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2386 2398 finishing.
2387 2399
2388 2400 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2389 2401 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2390 2402
2391 2403 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2392 2404 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2393 2405 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2394 2406
2395 2407 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2396 2408 code, handy in general.
2397 2409
2398 2410 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2399 2411 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2400 2412 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2401 2413
2402 2414 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2403 2415
2404 2416 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2405 2417 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2406 2418 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2407 2419 testing, though.
2408 2420 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2409 2421 like this before...
2410 2422
2411 2423 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2412 2424 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2413 2425
2414 2426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2415 2427 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2416 2428
2417 2429 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2418 2430
2419 2431 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2420 2432 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2421 2433 F. Mantegazza.
2422 2434
2423 2435 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2424 2436
2425 2437 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2426 2438 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2427 2439 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2428 2440
2429 2441 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2430 2442 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2431 2443 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2432 2444 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2433 2445 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2434 2446 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2435 2447
2436 2448 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2437 2449
2438 2450 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2439 2451 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2440 2452 beyond readline-based environments.
2441 2453
2442 2454 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2443 2455
2444 2456 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2445 2457
2446 2458 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2447 2459 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2448 2460 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2449 2461 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2450 2462 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2451 2463
2452 2464 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2453 2465
2454 2466 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2455 2467 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2456 2468 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2457 2469
2458 2470 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2459 2471
2460 2472 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2461 2473
2462 2474 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2463 2475
2464 2476 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2465 2477 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2466 2478 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2467 2479 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2468 2480 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2469 2481 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2470 2482
2471 2483 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2472 2484
2473 2485 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2474 2486
2475 2487 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2476 2488
2477 2489 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2478 2490 invalid $HOME under win32.
2479 2491
2480 2492 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2481 2493
2482 2494 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2483 2495 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2484 2496 simpler and a bit faster.
2485 2497
2486 2498 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2487 2499 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2488 2500 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2489 2501 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2490 2502 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2491 2503
2492 2504 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2493 2505 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2494 2506 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2495 2507
2496 2508 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2497 2509 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2498 2510
2499 2511 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2500 2512 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2501 2513 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2502 2514 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2503 2515 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2504 2516 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2505 2517 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2506 2518
2507 2519 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2508 2520
2509 2521 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2510 2522
2511 2523 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2512 2524
2513 2525 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2514 2526 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2515 2527
2516 2528 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2517 2529
2518 2530 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2519 2531 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2520 2532 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2521 2533 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2522 2534 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2523 2535 for the contribution.
2524 2536
2525 2537 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2526 2538 slightly modified version of the patch in
2527 2539 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2528 2540 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2529 2541 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2530 2542
2531 2543 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2532 2544
2533 2545 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2534 2546 I/O a bit more.
2535 2547
2536 2548 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2537 2549 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2538 2550
2539 2551 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2540 2552
2541 2553 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2542 2554
2543 2555 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2544 2556 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2545 2557 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2546 2558 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2547 2559
2548 2560 readline_remove_delims -/~

2553 2565 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2554 2566
2555 2567 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2556 2568 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2557 2569 <eli@gondolin.net>
2558 2570
2559 2571 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2560 2572
2561 2573 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2562 2574 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2563 2575
2564 2576 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2565 2577
2566 2578 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2567 2579 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2568 2580 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2569 2581
2570 2582 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2571 2583
2572 2584 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2573 2585 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2574 2586
2575 2587 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2576 2588
2577 2589 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2578 2590 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2579 2591
2580 2592 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2581 2593 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2582 2594 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2583 2595 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2584 2596 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2585 2597 for more details.
2586 2598
2587 2599 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2588 2600 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2589 2601 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2590 2602 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2591 2603
2592 2604 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2593 2605
2594 2606 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2595 2607 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2596 2608 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2597 2609 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2598 2610 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2599 2611
2600 2612 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2601 2613 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2602 2614 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2603 2615
2604 2616 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2605 2617
2606 2618 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2607 2619
2608 2620 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2609 2621
2610 2622 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2611 2623 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2612 2624 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2613 2625 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2614 2626 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2615 2627
2616 2628 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2617 2629
2618 2630 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2619 2631
2620 2632 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2621 2633 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2622 2634 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2623 2635 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2624 2636 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2625 2637
2626 2638 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2627 2639 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2628 2640 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2629 2641 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2630 2642 take the text parameter.
2631 2643
2632 2644 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2633 2645 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2634 2646 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2635 2647 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2636 2648 pysh profile to include the line
2637 2649
2638 2650 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2639 2651
2640 2652 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2641 2653 delete pysh.py and the line
2642 2654
2643 2655 execfile pysh.py
2644 2656
2645 2657 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2646 2658
2647 2659 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2648 2660 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2649 2661 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2650 2662 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2651 2663 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2652 2664
2653 2665 * pysh.py:
2654 2666
2655 2667 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2656 2668
2657 2669 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2658 2670 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2659 2671 want it can still turn it off.
2660 2672
2661 2673 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2662 2674 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2663 2675 off by default.
2664 2676
2665 2677 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2666 2678 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2667 2679 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2668 2680 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2669 2681 calls.
2670 2682
2671 2683 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2672 2684
2673 2685 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2674 2686 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2675 2687 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2676 2688
2677 2689 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2678 2690
2679 2691 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2680 2692 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2681 2693 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2682 2694 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2683 2695
2684 2696 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2685 2697 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2686 2698 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2687 2699 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2688 2700
2689 2701 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2690 2702
2691 2703 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2692 2704 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2693 2705
2694 2706 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2695 2707 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2696 2708 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2697 2709 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2698 2710 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2699 2711 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2700 2712 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2701 2713 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2702 2714
2703 2715 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2716
2705 2717 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2706 2718 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2707 2719 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2708 2720 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2709 2721 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2710 2722 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2711 2723 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2712 2724 add new completers at runtime.
2713 2725
2714 2726 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2715 2727
2716 2728 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2717 2729 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2718 2730 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2719 2731 ? system.
2720 2732
2721 2733 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2722 2734 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2723 2735 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2724 2736 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2725 2737 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2726 2738 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2727 2739 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2728 2740 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2729 2741
2730 2742 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2731 2743
2732 2744 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2733 2745 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2734 2746 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2735 2747 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2736 2748 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2737 2749
2738 2750 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2739 2751 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2740 2752 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2741 2753 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2742 2754 add:
2743 2755
2744 2756 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2745 2757 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2746 2758
2747 2759 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2748 2760
2749 2761 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2750 2762 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2751 2763 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2752 2764 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2753 2765
2754 2766 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2755 2767 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2756 2768 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2757 2769 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2758 2770 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2759 2771 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2760 2772 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2761 2773 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2762 2774 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2763 2775
2764 2776 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2765 2777
2766 2778 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2767 2779 prompt namespace handling.
2768 2780
2769 2781 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2770 2782
2771 2783 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2772 2784 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2773 2785 trips the emacs python mode).
2774 2786 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2775 2787 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2776 2788 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2777 2789 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2778 2790 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2779 2791 calls will be made at runtime.
2780 2792
2781 2793 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2782 2794
2783 2795 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2784 2796 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2785 2797 the call to %history.
2786 2798
2787 2799 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2788 2800
2789 2801 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2790 2802
2791 2803 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2792 2804 ipmagic() function calls.
2793 2805
2794 2806 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2795 2807 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2796 2808
2797 2809 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2798 2810
2799 2811 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2800 2812 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2801 2813 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2802 2814 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2803 2815 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2804 2816 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2805 2817 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2806 2818 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2807 2819
2808 2820 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2809 2821
2810 2822 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2811 2823 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2812 2824 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2813 2825 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2814 2826 Ville Vainio.
2815 2827
2816 2828 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2817 2829
2818 2830 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2819 2831 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2820 2832 define the ones they personally like.
2821 2833
2822 2834 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2823 2835
2824 2836 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2825 2837 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2826 2838
2827 2839 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2840
2829 2841 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2830 2842 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2831 2843
2832 2844 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2833 2845 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2834 2846 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2835 2847 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2836 2848 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2837 2849 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2838 2850 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2839 2851 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2840 2852
2841 2853 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2842 2854 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2843 2855 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2844 2856 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2845 2857 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2846 2858
2847 2859 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2848 2860
2849 2861 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2850 2862 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2851 2863 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2852 2864
2853 2865 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2854 2866 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2855 2867 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2856 2868
2857 2869 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2858 2870
2859 2871 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2860 2872
2861 2873 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2862 2874 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2863 2875 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2864 2876 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2865 2877 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2866 2878 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2867 2879 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2868 2880 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2869 2881 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2870 2882 system is a separate implementation).
2871 2883
2872 2884 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2873 2885 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2874 2886 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2875 2887 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2876 2888 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2877 2889 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2878 2890 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2879 2891 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2880 2892 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2881 2893 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2882 2894 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

2884 2896 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2885 2897
2886 2898 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2887 2899 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2888 2900 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2889 2901 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2890 2902 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2891 2903 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2892 2904 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2893 2905 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2894 2906
2895 2907 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2896 2908
2897 2909 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2898 2910 previous call produced a syntax error.
2899 2911
2900 2912 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2901 2913 classes without constructor.
2902 2914
2903 2915 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2904 2916
2905 2917 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2906 2918 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2907 2919 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2908 2920 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2909 2921 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2910 2922 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2911 2923 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

2913 2925 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2914 2926
2915 2927 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2916 2928 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2917 2929
2918 2930 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2931
2920 2932 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2921 2933 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2922 2934 optimizations.
2923 2935
2924 2936 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2925 2937 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2926 2938
2927 2939 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2928 2940
2929 2941 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2930 2942 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2931 2943 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2932 2944 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2933 2945 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2934 2946 avoid annoying the lists further.

2938 2950 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2951
2940 2952 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2941 2953 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2942 2954 norm definitions.
2943 2955 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2944 2956 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2945 2957 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2946 2958
2947 2959 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2948 2960 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2949 2961 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2950 2962 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2951 2963 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2952 2964
2953 2965 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2954 2966 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2955 2967 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2956 2968 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2957 2969
2958 2970 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2959 2971 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2960 2972 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2961 2973 fixes.
2962 2974
2963 2975 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2964 2976 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2965 2977 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2966 2978 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2967 2979 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2968 2980 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2969 2981 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2970 2982
2971 2983 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2972 2984
2973 2985 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2974 2986
2975 2987 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2976 2988 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2977 2989 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2978 2990 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2979 2991 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2980 2992 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2981 2993 Panel.
2982 2994
2983 2995 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2984 2996 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2985 2997 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2986 2998 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2987 2999 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2988 3000
2989 3001 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2990 3002
2991 3003 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2992 3004 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2993 3005
2994 3006 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2995 3007
2996 3008 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2997 3009
2998 3010 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2999 3011 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3000 3012 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3001 3013 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3002 3014 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3003 3015 python shell.
3004 3016
3005 3017 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3006 3018 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3007 3019 on assignments. This closes
3008 3020 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3009 3021 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3010 3022 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3011 3023
3012 3024 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3013 3025
3014 3026 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3015 3027 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3016 3028
3017 3029 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3018 3030
3019 3031 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3020 3032
3021 3033 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3022 3034 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3023 3035
3024 3036 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3025 3037
3026 3038 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3027 3039 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3028 3040 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3029 3041
3030 3042 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3031 3043
3032 3044 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3033 3045 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3034 3046 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3035 3047
3036 3048 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3037 3049
3038 3050 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3039 3051 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3040 3052 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3041 3053
3042 3054 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3043 3055 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3044 3056 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3045 3057
3046 3058 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3047 3059
3048 3060 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3049 3061 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3050 3062
3051 3063 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3052 3064
3053 3065 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3054 3066 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3055 3067 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3056 3068
3057 3069 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3058 3070
3059 3071 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3060 3072 reported by Prabhu.
3061 3073 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3062 3074 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3063 3075 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3064 3076
3065 3077 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3066 3078 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3067 3079
3068 3080 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3069 3081 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3070 3082 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3071 3083 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3072 3084 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3073 3085 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3074 3086
3075 3087 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3076 3088
3077 3089 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3078 3090
3079 3091 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3080 3092 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3081 3093 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3082 3094 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3083 3095
3084 3096 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3085 3097 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3086 3098
3087 3099 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3088 3100 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3089 3101 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3090 3102 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3091 3103 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3092 3104 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3093 3105 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3094 3106
3095 3107 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3096 3108 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3097 3109 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3098 3110
3099 3111 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3100 3112 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3101 3113 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3102 3114 before.
3103 3115
3104 3116 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3105 3117
3106 3118 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3107 3119 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3108 3120 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3109 3121 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3110 3122
3111 3123 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3112 3124 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3113 3125 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3114 3126 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3115 3127 timing very short-running code.
3116 3128
3117 3129 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3118 3130 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3119 3131 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3120 3132 utility.
3121 3133
3122 3134 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3123 3135 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3124 3136 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3125 3137 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3126 3138 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3127 3139 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3128 3140 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3129 3141 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3130 3142
3131 3143 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3132 3144 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3133 3145 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3134 3146
3135 3147 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3136 3148 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3137 3149 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3138 3150 is for).
3139 3151
3140 3152 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3141 3153 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3142 3154 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3143 3155 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3144 3156 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3145 3157
3146 3158 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3147 3159
3148 3160 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3149 3161 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3150 3162 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3151 3163 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3152 3164 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3153 3165
3154 3166 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3155 3167 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3156 3168 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3157 3169 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3158 3170 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3159 3171 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3160 3172
3161 3173 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3162 3174
3163 3175 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3164 3176 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3165 3177
3166 3178 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3167 3179
3168 3180 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3169 3181 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3170 3182 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3171 3183 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3172 3184
3173 3185 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3174 3186
3175 3187 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3176 3188
3177 3189 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3178 3190 setting with -d option.
3179 3191
3180 3192 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3181 3193 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3182 3194 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3183 3195 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3184 3196
3185 3197 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3186 3198
3187 3199 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3188 3200 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3189 3201
3190 3202 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3191 3203 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3192 3204 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3193 3205 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3194 3206 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3195 3207 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3196 3208 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3197 3209 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3198 3210 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3199 3211 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3200 3212 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3201 3213
3202 3214 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3203 3215
3204 3216 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3205 3217 cache when empty lines were present.
3206 3218
3207 3219 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3208 3220
3209 3221 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3210 3222 options for WX and GTK.
3211 3223
3212 3224 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3213 3225
3214 3226 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3215 3227 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3216 3228 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3217 3229 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3218 3230 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3219 3231 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3220 3232 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3221 3233
3222 3234 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3223 3235 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3224 3236
3225 3237 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3238
3227 3239 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3228 3240 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3229 3241 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3230 3242 many thanks.
3231 3243
3232 3244 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3233 3245 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3234 3246 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3235 3247
3236 3248 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3237 3249
3238 3250 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3239 3251 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3240 3252 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3241 3253
3242 3254 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3243 3255
3244 3256 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3245 3257
3246 3258 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3247 3259 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3248 3260 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3249 3261
3250 3262 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3251 3263
3252 3264 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3253 3265 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3254 3266
3255 3267 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3256 3268
3257 3269 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3258 3270 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3259 3271 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3260 3272 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3261 3273 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3262 3274 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3263 3275 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3264 3276
3265 3277 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3266 3278
3267 3279 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3268 3280 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3269 3281 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3270 3282 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3271 3283
3272 3284 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3273 3285 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3274 3286
3275 3287 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3276 3288
3277 3289 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3278 3290 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3279 3291
3280 3292 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3281 3293 use throughout ipython.
3282 3294
3283 3295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3284 3296 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3285 3297
3286 3298 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3287 3299 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3288 3300 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3289 3301 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3290 3302
3291 3303 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3292 3304
3293 3305 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3294 3306 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3295 3307 report by Francesc Alted.
3296 3308
3297 3309 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3298 3310
3299 3311 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3300 3312 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3301 3313
3302 3314 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3315
3304 3316 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3305 3317 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3306 3318 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3307 3319 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3308 3320 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3309 3321 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3310 3322 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3311 3323 correctly set.
3312 3324
3313 3325 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3314 3326
3315 3327 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3316 3328 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3317 3329 import requirement of PEP-328.
3318 3330
3319 3331 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3320 3332 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3321 3333 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3322 3334 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3323 3335
3324 3336 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3325 3337
3326 3338 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3327 3339
3328 3340 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3329 3341 via a normal python function call.
3330 3342
3331 3343 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3332 3344 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3333 3345 2.4.
3334 3346
3335 3347 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3336 3348
3337 3349 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3338 3350 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3339 3351 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3340 3352 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3341 3353 is given to the user).
3342 3354
3343 3355 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3344 3356
3345 3357 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3346 3358 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3347 3359 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3348 3360 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3349 3361
3350 3362 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3351 3363 python 2.2.
3352 3364
3353 3365 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3354 3366 banner arg for embedded customization.
3355 3367
3356 3368 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3357 3369 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3358 3370 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3359 3371 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3360 3372 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3361 3373 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3362 3374
3363 3375 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3364 3376 minor changes to debian dir.
3365 3377
3366 3378 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3367 3379 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3368 3380 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3369 3381 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3370 3382
3371 3383 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3372 3384
3373 3385 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3374 3386 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3375 3387 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3376 3388 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3377 3389 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3378 3390
3379 3391 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3380 3392
3381 3393 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3382 3394 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3383 3395
3384 3396 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3385 3397
3386 3398 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3387 3399 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3388 3400
3389 3401 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3390 3402
3391 3403 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3392 3404
3393 3405 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3394 3406 updated.
3395 3407
3396 3408 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3397 3409
3398 3410 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3399 3411 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3400 3412 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3401 3413 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3402 3414 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3403 3415
3404 3416 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3405 3417 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3406 3418 split regexp. Closes
3407 3419 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3408 3420 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3409 3421 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3410 3422 extensions.
3411 3423
3412 3424 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3413 3425 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3414 3426 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3415 3427 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3416 3428 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3417 3429
3418 3430 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3419 3431 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3420 3432 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3421 3433 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3422 3434
3423 3435 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3424 3436 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3425 3437
3426 3438 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3427 3439 fine-tune banner.
3428 3440
3429 3441 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3430 3442 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3431 3443
3432 3444 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3433 3445
3434 3446 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3435 3447 were missing.
3436 3448
3437 3449 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3438 3450 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3439 3451 valid at the command line.
3440 3452
3441 3453 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3442 3454 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3443 3455
3444 3456 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3445 3457
3446 3458 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3447 3459 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3448 3460 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3449 3461
3450 3462 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3451 3463
3452 3464 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3453 3465 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3454 3466 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3455 3467 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3456 3468 continue to use the standard profiler.
3457 3469
3458 3470 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3471
3460 3472 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3461 3473 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3462 3474 close.
3463 3475
3464 3476 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3465 3477
3466 3478 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3467 3479 in Magic and ultraTB.
3468 3480
3469 3481 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3470 3482
3471 3483 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3472 3484 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3473 3485 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3474 3486 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3475 3487
3476 3488 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3477 3489 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3478 3490 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3479 3491 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3480 3492 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3481 3493 infrastructure in place.
3482 3494
3483 3495 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3484 3496
3485 3497 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3486 3498
3487 3499 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3488 3500 the pylab profile.
3489 3501
3490 3502 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3491 3503
3492 3504 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3493 3505
3494 3506 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3495 3507 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3496 3508 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3497 3509 itself.
3498 3510
3499 3511 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3500 3512 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3501 3513 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3502 3514 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3503 3515 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3504 3516 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3505 3517 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3506 3518 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3507 3519
3508 3520 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3509 3521 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3510 3522
3511 3523 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3512 3524
3513 3525 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3514 3526 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3515 3527 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3516 3528
3517 3529 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3518 3530
3519 3531 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3520 3532 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3521 3533
3522 3534 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3523 3535
3524 3536 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3525 3537
3526 3538 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3527 3539
3528 3540 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3529 3541
3530 3542 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3531 3543 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3532 3544 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3533 3545
3534 3546 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3535 3547
3536 3548 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3537 3549 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3538 3550 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3539 3551 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3540 3552 works.
3541 3553
3542 3554 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3543 3555 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3544 3556 practice.
3545 3557
3546 3558 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3547 3559
3548 3560 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3549 3561 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3550 3562 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3551 3563
3552 3564 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3553 3565
3554 3566 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3555 3567 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3556 3568 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3557 3569 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3558 3570
3559 3571 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3560 3572
3561 3573 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3562 3574 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3563 3575 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3564 3576 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3565 3577
3566 3578 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3567 3579
3568 3580 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3569 3581
3570 3582 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3571 3583 fail for any number.
3572 3584 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3573 3585 empty bookmarks.
3574 3586
3575 3587 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3576 3588
3577 3589 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3578 3590
3579 3591 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3580 3592
3581 3593 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3582 3594 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3583 3595
3584 3596 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3585 3597 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3586 3598
3587 3599 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3588 3600
3589 3601 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3590 3602 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3591 3603 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3592 3604 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3593 3605 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3594 3606
3595 3607 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3596 3608
3597 3609 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3598 3610 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3599 3611
3600 3612 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3601 3613
3602 3614 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3603 3615 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3604 3616 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3605 3617 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3606 3618
3607 3619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3608 3620 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3609 3621 Schmolck.
3610 3622
3611 3623 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3612 3624
3613 3625 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3614 3626
3615 3627 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3616 3628 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3617 3629
3618 3630 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3619 3631 optimizations.
3620 3632
3621 3633 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3622 3634 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3623 3635
3624 3636 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3625 3637 --Started changelog.
3626 3638 --make clear do what it say it does
3627 3639 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3628 3640 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3629 3641 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3630 3642 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3631 3643 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3632 3644 can be done for other cases.
3633 3645 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3634 3646 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3635 3647 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3636 3648
3637 3649 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3638 3650 --added logfile rotation
3639 3651 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3640 3652
3641 3653 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3642 3654 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3643 3655 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3644 3656 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3645 3657 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3646 3658 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3647 3659 --added global logfile option
3648 3660 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3649 3661 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3650 3662
3651 3663 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3652 3664 --added a README
3653 3665 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3654 3666 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3655 3667 bug or feature.
3656 3668 --changed rc file for new behavior
3657 3669
3658 3670 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3659 3671
3660 3672 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3661 3673 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3662 3674 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3663 3675
3664 3676 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3665 3677 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3666 3678
3667 3679 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3668 3680
3669 3681 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3670 3682 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3671 3683 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3672 3684 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3673 3685 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3674 3686 and prepended with a #.
3675 3687
3676 3688 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3677 3689 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3678 3690
3679 3691 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3680 3692
3681 3693 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3682 3694 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3683 3695
3684 3696 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3697
3686 3698 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3687 3699 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3688 3700
3689 3701 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3702
3691 3703 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3692 3704 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3693 3705 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3694 3706
3695 3707 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3696 3708
3697 3709 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3698 3710 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3699 3711
3700 3712 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3701 3713 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3702 3714 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3703 3715 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3704 3716 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3705 3717 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3706 3718 be implemented later).
3707 3719
3708 3720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3709 3721 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3710 3722 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3711 3723 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3712 3724
3713 3725 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3714 3726 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3715 3727 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3716 3728
3717 3729 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3718 3730 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3719 3731
3720 3732 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3721 3733 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3722 3734 readline make it impossible to go further.
3723 3735
3724 3736 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3725 3737
3726 3738 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3727 3739 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3728 3740
3729 3741 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3730 3742
3731 3743 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3732 3744 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3733 3745 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3734 3746 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3735 3747
3736 3748 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3737 3749 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3738 3750 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3739 3751 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3740 3752
3741 3753 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3742 3754 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3743 3755 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3744 3756 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3745 3757 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3746 3758 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3747 3759 problem.
3748 3760
3749 3761 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3750 3762 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3751 3763
3752 3764 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3753 3765 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3754 3766 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3755 3767
3756 3768 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3757 3769
3758 3770 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3759 3771 continue prompts.
3760 3772
3761 3773 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3762 3774 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3763 3775 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3764 3776 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3765 3777 byte-compilation saves time.
3766 3778
3767 3779 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3768 3780
3769 3781 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3770 3782 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3771 3783
3772 3784 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3773 3785 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3774 3786
3775 3787 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3776 3788 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3777 3789 common cases where it's a problem.
3778 3790
3779 3791 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3780 3792
3781 3793 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3782 3794 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3783 3795 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3784 3796 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3785 3797 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3786 3798 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3787 3799
3788 3800 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3789 3801
3790 3802 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3791 3803 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3792 3804
3793 3805 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3794 3806 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3795 3807 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3796 3808 structure as win_exec_ext.
3797 3809
3798 3810 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3799 3811 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3800 3812
3801 3813 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3802 3814 delete aliases.
3803 3815
3804 3816 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3805 3817 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3806 3818
3807 3819 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3808 3820
3809 3821 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3810 3822 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3811 3823
3812 3824 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3813 3825
3814 3826 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3815 3827 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3816 3828
3817 3829 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3818 3830 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3819 3831
3820 3832 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3821 3833 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3822 3834 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3823 3835 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3824 3836 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3825 3837 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3826 3838
3827 3839 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3828 3840 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3829 3841 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3830 3842
3831 3843 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3832 3844 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3833 3845 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3834 3846
3835 3847 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3836 3848 via an extra $. For example:
3837 3849
3838 3850 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3839 3851
3840 3852 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3841 3853 a python variable
3842 3854
3843 3855 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3844 3856 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3845 3857
3846 3858 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3847 3859 things prematurely.
3848 3860
3849 3861 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3850 3862 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3851 3863
3852 3864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3853 3865 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3854 3866 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3855 3867 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3856 3868 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3857 3869 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3858 3870 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3859 3871 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3860 3872
3861 3873 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3862 3874 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3863 3875 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3864 3876 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3865 3877 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3866 3878 with the old system).
3867 3879
3868 3880 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3869 3881
3870 3882 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3871 3883 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3872 3884
3873 3885 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3874 3886 call to eval.
3875 3887 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3876 3888 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3877 3889 in.
3878 3890
3879 3891 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3880 3892
3881 3893 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3882 3894 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3883 3895 confusion).
3884 3896
3885 3897 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3886 3898 check for Windows users.
3887 3899
3888 3900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3889 3901 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3890 3902 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3891 3903 download it.
3892 3904
3893 3905 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3894 3906
3895 3907 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3896 3908 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3897 3909 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3898 3910 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3899 3911 of IDLE's out).
3900 3912
3901 3913 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3902 3914 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3903 3915 eventually.
3904 3916 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3905 3917
3906 3918 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3907 3919
3908 3920 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3909 3921 list of auto-defined aliases.
3910 3922
3911 3923 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3912 3924
3913 3925 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3914 3926 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3915 3927 things under Windows).
3916 3928
3917 3929 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3918 3930
3919 3931 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3920 3932 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3921 3933 reported by Thorsten.
3922 3934
3923 3935 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3924 3936
3925 3937 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3926 3938 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3927 3939 for all examples and the manual as well.
3928 3940
3929 3941 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3930 3942
3931 3943 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3932 3944 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3933 3945 inherit from BasePrompt.
3934 3946
3935 3947 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3936 3948 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3937 3949
3938 3950 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3939 3951 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3940 3952 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3941 3953 defaults.
3942 3954 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3943 3955 this fix manually!
3944 3956
3945 3957 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3946 3958 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3947 3959 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3948 3960 distutils).
3949 3961
3950 3962 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3951 3963 usage of new '\D' escape.
3952 3964
3953 3965 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3954 3966 lacks os.getuid())
3955 3967 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3956 3968 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3957 3969 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3958 3970 handling mechanism.
3959 3971 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3960 3972 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3961 3973 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3962 3974 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3963 3975 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3964 3976 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3965 3977 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3966 3978
3967 3979 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3968 3980
3969 3981 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3970 3982 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3971 3983 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3972 3984
3973 3985 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3974 3986 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3975 3987 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3976 3988 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3977 3989 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3978 3990 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3979 3991 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3980 3992 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3981 3993
3982 3994 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3983 3995 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3984 3996 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3985 3997 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3986 3998 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3987 3999 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3988 4000 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3989 4001 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3990 4002
3991 4003 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3992 4004 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3993 4005 functions uniform.
3994 4006 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3995 4007
3996 4008 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3997 4009 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3998 4010 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3999 4011 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4000 4012 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4001 4013 use to parse their options.
4002 4014
4003 4015 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4004 4016 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4005 4017 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4006 4018
4007 4019 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4008 4020 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4009 4021 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4010 4022 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4011 4023 via the prompt_specials.
4012 4024
4013 4025 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4014 4026
4015 4027 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4016 4028 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4017 4029 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4018 4030 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4019 4031 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4020 4032 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4021 4033 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4022 4034 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4023 4035
4024 4036 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4025 4037
4026 4038 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4027 4039 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4028 4040 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4029 4041
4030 4042 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4043
4032 4044 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4033 4045 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4034 4046
4035 4047 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4036 4048
4037 4049 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4038 4050 parens would get passed to the shell.
4039 4051
4040 4052 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4041 4053
4042 4054 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4043 4055 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4044 4056
4045 4057 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4046 4058 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4047 4059 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4048 4060 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4049 4061 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4050 4062
4051 4063 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4052 4064 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4053 4065 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4054 4066 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4055 4067
4056 4068 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4057 4069
4058 4070 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4059 4071
4060 4072 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4061 4073 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4062 4074 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4063 4075
4064 4076 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4065 4077 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4066 4078 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4067 4079 official documentation.
4068 4080
4069 4081 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4070 4082
4071 4083 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4072 4084 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4073 4085 explicit filename.
4074 4086
4075 4087 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4076 4088
4077 4089 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4078 4090 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4079 4091 case.
4080 4092
4081 4093 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4082 4094 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4083 4095 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4084 4096
4085 4097 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4086 4098
4087 4099 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4100
4089 4101 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4090 4102 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4091 4103 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4092 4104 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4093 4105 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4094 4106 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4095 4107 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4096 4108 any changes to python proper.
4097 4109
4098 4110 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4099 4111 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4100 4112 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4101 4113 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4102 4114 Schmolck.
4103 4115
4104 4116 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4105 4117
4106 4118 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4107 4119 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4108 4120 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4109 4121 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4110 4122
4111 4123 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4112 4124
4113 4125 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4114 4126 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4115 4127 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4116 4128 name).
4117 4129
4118 4130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4119 4131 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4120 4132 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4121 4133 Francois Pinard.
4122 4134
4123 4135 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4124 4136
4125 4137 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4126 4138 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4127 4139 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4128 4140 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4129 4141 not work.
4130 4142
4131 4143 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4132 4144
4133 4145 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4134 4146 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4135 4147 distinguishes stdout/err.
4136 4148
4137 4149 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4138 4150 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4139 4151 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4140 4152 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4141 4153 the standard library.
4142 4154
4143 4155 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4144 4156 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4145 4157
4146 4158 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4147 4159 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4148 4160
4149 4161 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4150 4162
4151 4163 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4152 4164 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4153 4165 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4154 4166 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4155 4167 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4156 4168 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4157 4169
4158 4170 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4159 4171
4160 4172 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4161 4173 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4162 4174 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4163 4175 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4164 4176
4165 4177 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4178
4167 4179 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4168 4180 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4169 4181 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4170 4182 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4171 4183
4172 4184 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4173 4185
4174 4186 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4175 4187 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4176 4188 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4177 4189 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4178 4190 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4179 4191 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4180 4192 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4181 4193 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4182 4194
4183 4195 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4184 4196
4185 4197 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4186 4198 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4187 4199
4188 4200 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4189 4201
4190 4202 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4191 4203 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4192 4204 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4193 4205 very short.
4194 4206
4195 4207 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4196 4208
4197 4209 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4198 4210 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4199 4211 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4200 4212 this before making it permanent.
4201 4213
4202 4214 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4203 4215 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4204 4216 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4205 4217 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4206 4218
4207 4219 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4208 4220
4209 4221 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4210 4222 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4211 4223
4212 4224 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4213 4225
4214 4226 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4215 4227 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4216 4228 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4217 4229 cases I've missed.
4218 4230
4219 4231 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4220 4232
4221 4233 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4222 4234 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4223 4235 system would be triggered for @p.
4224 4236
4225 4237 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4226 4238 cleanups, code unmodified.
4227 4239
4228 4240 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4229 4241 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4230 4242 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4231 4243 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4232 4244 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4233 4245 The actual changes affect many files.
4234 4246
4235 4247 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4236 4248
4237 4249 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4238 4250 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4239 4251 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4240 4252
4241 4253 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4242 4254
4243 4255 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4244 4256 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4245 4257
4246 4258 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4247 4259
4248 4260 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4249 4261 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4250 4262 numpy list.
4251 4263
4252 4264 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4253 4265
4254 4266 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4255 4267 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4256 4268 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4257 4269 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4258 4270
4259 4271 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4260 4272
4261 4273 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4262 4274 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4263 4275 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4264 4276 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4265 4277
4266 4278 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4267 4279 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4268 4280
4269 4281 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4270 4282
4271 4283 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4272 4284 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4273 4285 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4274 4286 Collins.
4275 4287
4276 4288 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4277 4289
4278 4290 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4279 4291
4280 4292 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4281 4293 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4282 4294 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4283 4295
4284 4296 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4285 4297
4286 4298 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4287 4299 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4288 4300 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4289 4301 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4290 4302
4291 4303 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4292 4304 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4293 4305 __getitem__ and __call__.
4294 4306
4295 4307 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4296 4308
4297 4309 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4298 4310
4299 4311 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4300 4312 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4301 4313 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4302 4314 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4303 4315
4304 4316 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4305 4317 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4306 4318 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4307 4319 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4308 4320 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4309 4321 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4310 4322 necessary.
4311 4323
4312 4324 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4313 4325 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4314 4326 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4315 4327
4316 4328 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4317 4329 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4318 4330 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4319 4331 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4320 4332
4321 4333 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4322 4334 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4323 4335 generators.
4324 4336
4325 4337 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4326 4338 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4327 4339 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4328 4340 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4329 4341 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4330 4342 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4331 4343 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4332 4344
4333 4345 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4334 4346 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4335 4347 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4336 4348 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4337 4349 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4338 4350
4339 4351 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4340 4352 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4341 4353 edit under some circumstances.
4342 4354 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4343 4355 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4344 4356 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4345 4357 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4346 4358 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4347 4359 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4348 4360 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4349 4361 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4350 4362 need more testing.
4351 4363
4352 4364 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4353 4365
4354 4366 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4355 4367 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4356 4368 and simpler code.
4357 4369
4358 4370 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4359 4371
4360 4372 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4361 4373 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4362 4374 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4363 4375 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4364 4376 even if they were contiguous.
4365 4377 (l1norm): Added this function.
4366 4378 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4367 4379 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4368 4380 and speed.

4370 4382 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4371 4383
4372 4384 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4373 4385 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4374 4386 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4375 4387
4376 4388 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4377 4389
4378 4390 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4379 4391 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4380 4392 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4381 4393
4382 4394 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4383 4395 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4384 4396 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4385 4397
4386 4398 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4387 4399
4388 4400 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4389 4401 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4390 4402 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4391 4403 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4392 4404 activity.
4393 4405
4394 4406 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4395 4407
4396 4408 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4397 4409 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4398 4410 Numeric.identity)
4399 4411
4400 4412 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4401 4413
4402 4414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4403 4415 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4404 4416 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4405 4417
4406 4418 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4407 4419
4408 4420 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4409 4421 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4410 4422 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4411 4423 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4412 4424
4413 4425 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4414 4426 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4415 4427 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4416 4428 is implemented).
4417 4429
4418 4430 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4419 4431
4420 4432 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4421 4433 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4422 4434 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4423 4435
4424 4436 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4425 4437 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4426 4438 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4427 4439 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4428 4440 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4429 4441
4430 4442 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4431 4443
4432 4444 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4433 4445
4434 4446 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4435 4447 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4436 4448 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4437 4449
4438 4450 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4439 4451
4440 4452 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4441 4453 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4442 4454 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4443 4455
4444 4456 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4445 4457 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4446 4458 crash report from Prabhu.
4447 4459
4448 4460 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4461
4450 4462 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4451 4463 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4452 4464 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4453 4465 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4454 4466 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4455 4467 also be useful in other cases.
4456 4468
4457 4469 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4458 4470 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4459 4471 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4460 4472
4461 4473 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4462 4474
4463 4475 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4464 4476
4465 4477 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4466 4478 installing for a new user under Windows.
4467 4479
4468 4480 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4469 4481
4470 4482 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4471 4483 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4472 4484 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4473 4485 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4474 4486 there.
4475 4487
4476 4488 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4477 4489 info to crash reports.
4478 4490
4479 4491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4480 4492 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4481 4493 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4482 4494 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4483 4495
4484 4496 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4485 4497
4486 4498 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4487 4499 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4488 4500 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4489 4501 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4490 4502
4491 4503 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4492 4504
4493 4505 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4494 4506 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4495 4507
4496 4508 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4497 4509
4498 4510 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4499 4511 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4500 4512
4501 4513 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4502 4514
4503 4515 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4504 4516
4505 4517 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4506 4518 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4507 4519 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4508 4520
4509 4521 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4510 4522 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4511 4523 with the new auto-indent option.
4512 4524
4513 4525 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4514 4526
4515 4527 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4516 4528 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4517 4529 this class from the main Shell class.
4518 4530
4519 4531 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4520 4532 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4521 4533 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4522 4534 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4523 4535 option).
4524 4536
4525 4537 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4526 4538 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4527 4539 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4528 4540 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4529 4541 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4530 4542
4531 4543 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4532 4544 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4533 4545 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4534 4546
4535 4547 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4536 4548 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4537 4549 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4538 4550 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4539 4551 tracebacks.
4540 4552
4541 4553 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4542 4554 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4543 4555 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4545 4557 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4546 4558
4547 4559 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4548 4560 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4549 4561 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4550 4562 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4551 4563
4552 4564 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4565
4554 4566 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4555 4567 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4556 4568 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4557 4569 for the bug report.
4558 4570
4559 4571 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4560 4572
4561 4573 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4562 4574 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4563 4575 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4564 4576 report.
4565 4577
4566 4578 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4567 4579
4568 4580 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4569 4581 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4570 4582 end).
4571 4583
4572 4584 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4573 4585 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4574 4586 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4575 4587
4576 4588 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4577 4589
4578 4590 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4579 4591 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4580 4592 for the patch.
4581 4593
4582 4594 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4583 4595
4584 4596 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4585 4597 functions.
4586 4598
4587 4599 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4589 4601 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4590 4602
4591 4603 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4592 4604 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4593 4605 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4594 4606 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4595 4607 private fix.
4596 4608
4597 4609 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4598 4610 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4599 4611 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4600 4612 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4601 4613 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4602 4614 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4603 4615 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4604 4616 fixed for this setup.
4605 4617
4606 4618 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4607 4619 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4608 4620
4609 4621 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4610 4622
4611 4623 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4612 4624
4613 4625 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4614 4626 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4615 4627 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4616 4628 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4617 4629 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4618 4630 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4619 4631 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4620 4632 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4621 4633 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4622 4634
4623 4635 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4624 4636 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4625 4637 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4626 4638
4627 4639 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4628 4640
4629 4641 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4630 4642
4631 4643 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4632 4644 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4633 4645 pickle-related issue in @run).
4634 4646
4635 4647 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4648
4637 4649 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4638 4650 the autocall option at runtime.
4639 4651 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4640 4652 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4641 4653 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4642 4654 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4643 4655 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4644 4656 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4645 4657 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4646 4658 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4647 4659 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4648 4660 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4649 4661 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4650 4662 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4651 4663 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4652 4664 pickles to save something sensible.
4653 4665
4654 4666 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4655 4667
4656 4668 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4657 4669 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4658 4670 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4659 4671
4660 4672 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4661 4673
4662 4674 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4663 4675 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4664 4676
4665 4677 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4666 4678
4667 4679 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4668 4680 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4669 4681 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4670 4682 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4671 4683
4672 4684 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4673 4685
4674 4686 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4675 4687 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4676 4688 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4677 4689 array is non-contiguous.
4678 4690
4679 4691 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4680 4692
4681 4693 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4682 4694 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4683 4695 executed).
4684 4696 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4685 4697 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4686 4698 output.
4687 4699 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4688 4700 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4689 4701 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4690 4702 changing.
4691 4703
4692 4704 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4693 4705
4694 4706 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4695 4707
4696 4708 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4697 4709 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4698 4710 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4699 4711 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4700 4712 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4701 4713 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4702 4714 like a normal command-line.
4703 4715
4704 4716 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4705 4717 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4706 4718 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4707 4719 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4708 4720
4709 4721 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4710 4722
4711 4723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4712 4724 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4713 4725 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4714 4726 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4715 4727
4716 4728 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4717 4729
4718 4730 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4719 4731 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4720 4732 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4721 4733 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4722 4734 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4723 4735 think it's worth doing.
4724 4736
4725 4737 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4726 4738
4727 4739 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4728 4740
4729 4741 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4730 4742 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4731 4743
4732 4744 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4733 4745 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4734 4746 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4735 4747 also work ok.
4736 4748
4737 4749 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4738 4750
4739 4751 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4740 4752
4741 4753 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4742 4754
4743 4755 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4744 4756 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4745 4757 of gnuplot data files.
4746 4758
4747 4759 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4748 4760
4749 4761 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4750 4762 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4751 4763
4752 4764 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4753 4765
4754 4766 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4755 4767 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4756 4768 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4757 4769 for pointing this out.
4758 4770
4759 4771 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4760 4772
4761 4773 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4762 4774
4763 4775 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4764 4776 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4765 4777 Interactive.
4766 4778
4767 4779 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4768 4780 being imported from iplib.
4769 4781
4770 4782 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4771 4783 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4772 4784 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4773 4785 common name.
4774 4786
4775 4787 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4776 4788 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4777 4789
4778 4790 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4779 4791 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4780 4792
4781 4793 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4782 4794 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4783 4795 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4784 4796 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4785 4797 docstrings).
4786 4798
4787 4799 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4788 4800
4789 4801 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4790 4802 (inconsistent with options).
4791 4803
4792 4804 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4793 4805 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4794 4806 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4795 4807 eps output.
4796 4808
4797 4809 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4798 4810
4799 4811 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4800 4812 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4801 4813 Pinard.
4802 4814
4803 4815 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4804 4816
4805 4817 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4806 4818 history file for new users.
4807 4819 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4808 4820 user running in the .ipython dir.
4809 4821 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4810 4822 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4811 4823 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4812 4824
4813 4825 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4814 4826 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4815 4827 consistently.
4816 4828
4817 4829 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4818 4830 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4819 4831 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4820 4832 libraries I don't have access to.
4821 4833
4822 4834 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4823 4835 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4824 4836 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4825 4837 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4826 4838 report.
4827 4839
4828 4840 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4829 4841
4830 4842 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4831 4843 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4832 4844 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4833 4845 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4834 4846
4835 4847 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4836 4848
4837 4849 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4838 4850 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4839 4851 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4840 4852 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4841 4853 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4842 4854 instance has been created.
4843 4855
4844 4856 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4845 4857 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4846 4858 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4847 4859 dict by hand.
4848 4860
4849 4861 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4850 4862
4851 4863 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4852 4864 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4853 4865 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4854 4866 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4855 4867 broken.
4856 4868
4857 4869 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4858 4870 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4859 4871 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4860 4872 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4861 4873
4862 4874 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4863 4875 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4864 4876 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4865 4877 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4866 4878 is a valid one.
4867 4879
4868 4880 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4869 4881 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4870 4882 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4871 4883
4872 4884 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4873 4885 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4874 4886 simply leftover junk.
4875 4887
4876 4888 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4877 4889
4878 4890 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4879 4891 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4880 4892 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4881 4893
4882 4894 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4883 4895 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4884 4896 exceptions.
4885 4897
4886 4898 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4887 4899
4888 4900 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4889 4901 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4890 4902 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4891 4903 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4892 4904 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4893 4905
4894 4906 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4895 4907 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4896 4908
4897 4909 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4898 4910 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4899 4911 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4900 4912 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4901 4913 problem mentioned below.
4902 4914
4903 4915 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4904 4916
4905 4917 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4906 4918 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4907 4919
4908 4920 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4909 4921 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4910 4922 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4911 4923 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4912 4924 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4913 4925
4914 4926 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4915 4927 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4916 4928 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4917 4929 actual function names.
4918 4930
4919 4931 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4920 4932 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4921 4933 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4922 4934 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4923 4935 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4924 4936 really be only function/method names.
4925 4937
4926 4938 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4927 4939
4928 4940 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4929 4941 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4930 4942 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4931 4943
4932 4944 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4933 4945
4934 4946 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4935 4947 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4936 4948 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4937 4949
4938 4950 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4939 4951 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4940 4952
4941 4953 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4942 4954 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4943 4955 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4944 4956
4945 4957 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4946 4958 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4947 4959 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4948 4960
4949 4961 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4950 4962 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4951 4963 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4952 4964
4953 4965 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4954 4966
4955 4967 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4956 4968 Gnuplot.File objects.
4957 4969
4958 4970 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4959 4971
4960 4972 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4961 4973 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4962 4974 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4963 4975
4964 4976 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4965 4977
4966 4978 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4967 4979 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4968 4980
4969 4981 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4970 4982 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4971 4983
4972 4984 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4973 4985 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4974 4986
4975 4987 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4976 4988
4977 4989 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4978 4990 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4979 4991 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4980 4992 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4981 4993
4982 4994 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4983 4995
4984 4996 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4985 4997 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4986 4998 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4987 4999
4988 5000 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4989 5001
4990 5002 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4991 5003 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4992 5004 workaround).
4993 5005
4994 5006 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4995 5007
4996 5008 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4997 5009 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4998 5010
4999 5011 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5012
5001 5013 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5002 5014 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5003 5015
5004 5016 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5005 5017 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5006 5018 .strip() is called on it.
5007 5019
5008 5020
5009 5021 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5022
5011 5023 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5012 5024 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5013 5025 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5014 5026
5015 5027 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5016 5028 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5017 5029
5018 5030 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5019 5031 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5020 5032 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5021 5033
5022 5034 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5023 5035
5024 5036 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5025 5037 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5026 5038 __main__.
5027 5039
5028 5040 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5029 5041 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5030 5042
5031 5043 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5032 5044 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5033 5045 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5034 5046 Mathematica behaves.
5035 5047
5036 5048 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5037 5049
5038 5050 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5039 5051 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5040 5052
5041 5053 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5042 5054 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5043 5055 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5044 5056
5045 5057 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5046 5058 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5047 5059
5048 5060 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5049 5061
5050 5062 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5051 5063 underflow problems in Numeric.
5052 5064 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5053 5065 for exact integer powers of 2.
5054 5066
5055 5067 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5056 5068 properly.
5057 5069
5058 5070 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5059 5071
5060 5072 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5061 5073 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5062 5074
5063 5075 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5064 5076
5065 5077 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5066 5078 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5067 5079
5068 5080 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5069 5081
5070 5082 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5071 5083 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5072 5084 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5073 5085 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5074 5086 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5075 5087 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5076 5088 times).
5077 5089
5078 5090 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5079 5091 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5080 5092 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5081 5093
5082 5094 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5083 5095
5084 5096 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5085 5097 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5086 5098 embedded code.
5087 5099
5088 5100 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5089 5101 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5090 5102 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5091 5103
5092 5104 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5093 5105 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5094 5106 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5095 5107 less special-casing to remember.
5096 5108
5097 5109 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5098 5110
5099 5111 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5100 5112 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5101 5113 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5102 5114 arg is not a defined object.
5103 5115 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5104 5116 a Mike Heeter idea.
5105 5117
5106 5118 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5107 5119 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5108 5120 interactive use.
5109 5121
5110 5122 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5111 5123 filenames.
5112 5124
5113 5125 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5114 5126
5115 5127 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5116 5128 initialization via another struct.
5117 5129
5118 5130 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5119 5131 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5120 5132
5121 5133 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5134
5123 5135 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5124 5136 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5125 5137 too big).
5126 5138
5127 5139 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5128 5140
5129 5141 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5130 5142 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5131 5143 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5132 5144 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5133 5145
5134 5146 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5135 5147
5136 5148 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5137 5149 macros having broken.
5138 5150
5139 5151 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5140 5152
5141 5153 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5142 5154 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5143 5155 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5144 5156 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5145 5157 not to lists.
5146 5158
5147 5159 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5148 5160
5149 5161 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5150 5162 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5151 5163 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5152 5164
5153 5165 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5154 5166 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5155 5167
5156 5168 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5157 5169 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5158 5170 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5159 5171
5160 5172 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5161 5173 triple-quoted strings.
5162 5174
5163 5175 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5164 5176 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5165 5177 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5166 5178 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5167 5179 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5168 5180 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5169 5181
5170 5182 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5171 5183
5172 5184 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5173 5185 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5174 5186 ultraTB).
5175 5187
5176 5188 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5189
5178 5190 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5179 5191 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5180 5192 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5181 5193 user's 'g' variables).
5182 5194
5183 5195 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5184 5196 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5185 5197 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5186 5198 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5187 5199 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5188 5200 macros.
5189 5201
5190 5202 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5191 5203
5192 5204 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5193 5205 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5194 5206
5195 5207 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5196 5208 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5197 5209 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5198 5210
5199 5211 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5200 5212
5201 5213 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5202 5214 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5203 5215 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5204 5216 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5205 5217 aliases.
5206 5218
5207 5219 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5208 5220
5209 5221 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5210 5222 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5211 5223 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5212 5224 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5213 5225
5214 5226 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5215 5227
5216 5228 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5217 5229 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5218 5230 user-defined functions overrode them.
5219 5231
5220 5232 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5221 5233
5222 5234 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5223 5235 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5224 5236
5225 5237 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5226 5238
5227 5239 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5228 5240 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5229 5241 IPython.
5230 5242
5231 5243 * Released 0.2.13
5232 5244
5233 5245 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5234 5246 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5235 5247 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5236 5248 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5237 5249
5238 5250 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5239 5251
5240 5252 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5241 5253 magic properly formatted for screen.
5242 5254
5243 5255 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5244 5256 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5245 5257
5246 5258 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5247 5259 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5248 5260 etc.)
5249 5261
5250 5262 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5251 5263
5252 5264 * Released 0.2.12
5253 5265
5254 5266 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5255 5267
5256 5268 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5257 5269 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5258 5270 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5259 5271 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5260 5272 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5261 5273 an alias to @run -i.
5262 5274
5263 5275 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5264 5276 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5265 5277
5266 5278 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5267 5279
5268 5280 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5269 5281 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5270 5282 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5271 5283
5272 5284 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5273 5285 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5274 5286 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5275 5287 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5276 5288 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5277 5289 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5278 5290 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5279 5291
5280 5292 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5281 5293
5282 5294 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5283 5295 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5284 5296 printed).
5285 5297
5286 5298 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5287 5299 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5288 5300 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5289 5301
5290 5302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5291 5303 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5292 5304
5293 5305 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5294 5306 handle magic commands in them.
5295 5307 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5296 5308 ~/mylog' now works.
5297 5309
5298 5310 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5299 5311 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5300 5312
5301 5313 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5302 5314
5303 5315 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5304 5316 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5305 5317
5306 5318 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5307 5319 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5308 5320 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5309 5321 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5310 5322 variables are in the context of an exception.
5311 5323 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5312 5324 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5313 5325
5314 5326 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5315 5327 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5316 5328
5317 5329 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5318 5330
5319 5331 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5320 5332 magics can parse options easier.
5321 5333 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5322 5334 suggested by Chris Hart.
5323 5335 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5324 5336 directory actually is in history.
5325 5337
5326 5338 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5327 5339 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5328 5340 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5329 5341
5330 5342 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5331 5343 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5332 5344 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5333 5345 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5334 5346
5335 5347 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5336 5348
5337 5349 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5338 5350 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5339 5351
5340 5352 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5341 5353 text (was a bug).
5342 5354
5343 5355 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5344 5356
5345 5357 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5346 5358 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5347 5359 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5348 5360
5349 5361 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5350 5362
5351 5363 * Released 0.2.10
5352 5364
5353 5365 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5354 5366
5355 5367 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5356 5368 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5357 5369
5358 5370 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5359 5371
5360 5372 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5361 5373 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5362 5374
5363 5375 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5364 5376
5365 5377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5366 5378 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5367 5379 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5368 5380 __init__.py)
5369 5381
5370 5382 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5371 5383
5372 5384 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5373 5385 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5374 5386 test for being inside IPython.
5375 5387
5376 5388 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5377 5389 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5378 5390 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5379 5391 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5380 5392
5381 5393 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5382 5394
5383 5395 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5384 5396 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5385 5397 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5386 5398
5387 5399 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5388 5400 embedding example to standard user directory for
5389 5401 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5390 5402
5391 5403 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5392 5404 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5393 5405 hidden global).
5394 5406
5395 5407 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5396 5408 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5397 5409 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5398 5410 case.
5399 5411
5400 5412 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5401 5413
5402 5414 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5403 5415 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5404 5416 start.
5405 5417
5406 5418 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5407 5419 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5408 5420 Numeric or math.
5409 5421
5410 5422 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5411 5423 provided profiles. Now we have:
5412 5424 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5413 5425 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5414 5426 -physics -> same as before
5415 5427
5416 5428 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5417 5429 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5418 5430 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5419 5431 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5420 5432 string adds).
5421 5433
5422 5434 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5423 5435 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5424 5436 line with the gnuplot code).
5425 5437
5426 5438 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5427 5439
5428 5440 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5429 5441 all included files change.
5430 5442
5431 5443 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5432 5444 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5433 5445
5434 5446 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5435 5447 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5436 5448 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5437 5449
5438 5450 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5439 5451 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5440 5452
5441 5453 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5442 5454 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5443 5455
5444 5456 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5445 5457 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5446 5458 now accessible.
5447 5459
5448 5460 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5449 5461 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5450 5462 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5451 5463 removed.
5452 5464 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5453 5465 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5454 5466 don't crash.
5455 5467 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5456 5468 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5457 5469 remains available.
5458 5470
5459 5471 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5460 5472
5461 5473 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5462 5474
5463 5475 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5464 5476
5465 5477 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5466 5478 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5467 5479 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5468 5480 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5469 5481
5470 5482 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5471 5483
5472 5484 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5473 5485 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5474 5486 sync with the output counter.
5475 5487
5476 5488 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5477 5489 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5478 5490
5479 5491 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5480 5492
5481 5493 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5482 5494 readline, fix it back after each call.
5483 5495
5484 5496 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5485 5497 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5486 5498 traceback references are properly deleted.
5487 5499
5488 5500 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5489 5501 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5490 5502
5491 5503 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5492 5504
5493 5505 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5494 5506 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5495 5507 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5496 5508 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5497 5509 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5498 5510 to catch SystemExit).
5499 5511
5500 5512 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5501 5513 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5502 5514 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5503 5515 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5504 5516 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5505 5517 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5506 5518
5507 5519 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5508 5520
5509 5521 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5510 5522 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5511 5523 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5512 5524
5513 5525 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5514 5526 configurable (it should have always been so).
5515 5527
5516 5528 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5517 5529
5518 5530 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5519 5531 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5520 5532 done in a more elegant way.
5521 5533
5522 5534 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5523 5535
5524 5536 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5525 5537 win9x also.
5526 5538
5527 5539 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5528 5540
5529 5541 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5530 5542 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5531 5543
5532 5544 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5533 5545
5534 5546 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5535 5547
5536 5548 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5537 5549 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5538 5550
5539 5551 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5540 5552 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5541 5553
5542 5554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5543 5555 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5544 5556
5545 5557 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5546 5558 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5547 5559
5548 5560 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5549 5561
5550 5562 * Released 0.2.8
5551 5563
5552 5564 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5553 5565 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5554 5566 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5555 5567 on' so that the first tab completes.
5556 5568 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5557 5569 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5558 5570
5559 5571 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5560 5572 installation.
5561 5573
5562 5574 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5563 5575 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5564 5576
5565 5577 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5566 5578
5567 5579 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5568 5580 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5569 5581 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5570 5582
5571 5583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5572 5584 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5573 5585
5574 5586 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5575 5587 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5576 5588 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5577 5589 suggestion.
5578 5590
5579 5591 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5580 5592 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5581 5593 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5582 5594
5583 5595 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5584 5596 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5585 5597
5586 5598 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5587 5599
5588 5600 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5589 5601 which properly handles things for windows users.
5590 5602
5591 5603 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5592 5604
5593 5605 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5594 5606 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5595 5607 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5596 5608 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5597 5609 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5598 5610
5599 5611 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5600 5612
5601 5613 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5602 5614
5603 5615 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5604 5616 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5605 5617
5606 5618 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5607 5619
5608 5620 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5609 5621 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5610 5622 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5611 5623 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5612 5624 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5613 5625 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5614 5626
5615 5627 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5616 5628
5617 5629 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5618 5630 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5619 5631
5620 5632 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5621 5633 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5622 5634 cache at 20 values.
5623 5635
5624 5636 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5625 5637 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5626 5638 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5627 5639 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5628 5640
5629 5641 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5630 5642 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5631 5643 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5632 5644 'file show').
5633 5645
5634 5646 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5635 5647 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5636 5648
5637 5649 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5638 5650 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5639 5651 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5640 5652
5641 5653 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5642 5654 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5643 5655 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5644 5656 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5645 5657
5646 5658 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5647 5659 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5648 5660 the prompt strings.
5649 5661
5650 5662 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5651 5663
5652 5664 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5653 5665 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5654 5666
5655 5667 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5656 5668 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5657 5669 either globally or at each call.
5658 5670
5659 5671 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5660 5672 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5661 5673 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5662 5674 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5663 5675
5664 5676 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5665 5677
5666 5678 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5667 5679 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5668 5680
5669 5681 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5670 5682
5671 5683 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5672 5684 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5673 5685 learning some lisp...
5674 5686
5675 5687 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5676 5688
5677 5689 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5678 5690 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5679 5691 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5680 5692 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5681 5693
5682 5694 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5683 5695 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5684 5696 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5685 5697
5686 5698 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5687 5699
5688 5700 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5689 5701 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5690 5702 control to emacs users.
5691 5703
5692 5704 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5693 5705 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5694 5706 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5695 5707 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5696 5708 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5697 5709 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5698 5710
5699 5711 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5700 5712
5701 5713 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5702 5714
5703 5715 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5704 5716 @logstate magic was created.
5705 5717
5706 5718 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5707 5719 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5708 5720
5709 5721 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5710 5722
5711 5723 * Released 0.2.6.
5712 5724
5713 5725 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5714 5726 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5715 5727
5716 5728 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5717 5729 SciPy.
5718 5730
5719 5731 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5720 5732 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5721 5733 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5722 5734 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5723 5735 the section on embedding and the example file.
5724 5736
5725 5737 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5726 5738 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5727 5739 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5728 5740
5729 5741 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5730 5742 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5731 5743 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5732 5744
5733 5745 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5734 5746 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5735 5747 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5736 5748 for this to work.
5737 5749
5738 5750 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5739 5751
5740 5752 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5741 5753 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5742 5754 well inside Emacs buffers.
5743 5755 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5744 5756 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5745 5757 same bug in iplib.
5746 5758
5747 5759 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5748 5760
5749 5761 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5750 5762 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5751 5763
5752 5764 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5753 5765 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5754 5766 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5755 5767
5756 5768 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5757 5769 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5758 5770 display is done.
5759 5771
5760 5772 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5761 5773 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5762 5774
5763 5775 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5764 5776 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5765 5777 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5766 5778 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5767 5779 like in Octave.
5768 5780
5769 5781 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5770 5782 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5771 5783
5772 5784 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5773 5785
5774 5786 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5775 5787 whole file a little.
5776 5788
5777 5789 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5778 5790 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5779 5791 end-user distro.
5780 5792
5781 5793 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5782 5794 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5783 5795 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5784 5796
5785 5797 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5786 5798 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5787 5799
5788 5800 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5789 5801 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5790 5802 for @file.
5791 5803
5792 5804 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5793 5805 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5794 5806 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5795 5807 the code a bit easier.
5796 5808
5797 5809 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5798 5810 information to crash reports.
5799 5811
5800 5812 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5801 5813
5802 5814 * Released 0.2.5.
5803 5815
5804 5816 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5805 5817
5806 5818 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5807 5819 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5808 5820 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5809 5821
5810 5822 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5811 5823
5812 5824 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5813 5825 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5814 5826 have thigs work as expected.
5815 5827
5816 5828 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5817 5829 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5818 5830 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5819 5831 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5820 5832 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5821 5833
5822 5834 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5823 5835 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5824 5836
5825 5837 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5826 5838
5827 5839 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5828 5840 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5829 5841
5830 5842 * README and manual updates.
5831 5843
5832 5844 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5833 5845 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5834 5846
5835 5847 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5836 5848 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5837 5849
5838 5850 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5839 5851 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5840 5852 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5841 5853 extension-less files.
5842 5854
5843 5855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5844 5856 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5845 5857 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5846 5858
5847 5859 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5848 5860 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5849 5861
5850 5862 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5851 5863 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5852 5864 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5853 5865 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5854 5866 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5855 5867 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5856 5868 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5857 5869 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5858 5870 least make manually a shortcut.
5859 5871
5860 5872 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5861 5873 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5862 5874 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5863 5875 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5864 5876 runtime, with @colors.
5865 5877 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5866 5878 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5867 5879
5868 5880 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5869 5881
5870 5882 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5871 5883 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5872 5884 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5873 5885 read the startup info.
5874 5886
5875 5887 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5876 5888
5877 5889 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5878 5890 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5879 5891 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5880 5892 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5881 5893 type the better off we are.
5882 5894 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5883 5895 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5884 5896 before.
5885 5897
5886 5898 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5887 5899
5888 5900 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5889 5901 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5890 5902 this later.
5891 5903
5892 5904 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5893 5905
5894 5906 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5895 5907 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5896 5908 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5897 5909
5898 5910 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5899 5911
5900 5912 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5901 5913 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5902 5914 spitting out only offset information as before.
5903 5915 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5904 5916 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5905 5917
5906 5918 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5907 5919
5908 5920 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5909 5921 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5910 5922 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5911 5923 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5912 5924 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5913 5925 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5914 5926 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5915 5927 macros.
5916 5928
5917 5929 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5918 5930
5919 5931 * Released 0.2.4.
5920 5932
5921 5933 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5922 5934 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5923 5935 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5924 5936 re-execution.
5925 5937
5926 5938 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5927 5939
5928 5940 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5929 5941 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5930 5942 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5931 5943 documented, of course :)
5932 5944 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5933 5945 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5934 5946 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5935 5947
5936 5948 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5937 5949
5938 5950 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5939 5951 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5940 5952 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5941 5953
5942 5954 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5943 5955
5944 5956 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5945 5957 so I wanted an updated release).
5946 5958
5947 5959 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5948 5960
5949 5961 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5950 5962 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5951 5963 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5952 5964 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5953 5965 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5954 5966
5955 5967 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5956 5968
5957 5969 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5958 5970 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5959 5971
5960 5972 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5961 5973
5962 5974 * Released 0.2.2.
5963 5975
5964 5976 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5965 5977 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5966 5978 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5967 5979 versions.
5968 5980
5969 5981 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5970 5982 (MayaVi author).
5971 5983
5972 5984 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5973 5985
5974 5986 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5975 5987 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5976 5988 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5977 5989 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5978 5990 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5979 5991
5980 5992 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5981 5993 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5982 5994
5983 5995 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5984 5996
5985 5997 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5986 5998 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5987 5999 nice, full-blown manual.
5988 6000
5989 6001 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5990 6002 trivially simple for end-users.
5991 6003
5992 6004 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5993 6005
5994 6006 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5995 6007 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5996 6008
5997 6009 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5998 6010 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5999 6011
6000 6012 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6001 6013
6002 6014 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6003 6015 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6004 6016 people to later upgrade versions.
6005 6017
6006 6018 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6007 6019 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6008 6020 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6009 6021 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6010 6022 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6011 6023 SystemExit).
6012 6024
6013 6025 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6014 6026 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6015 6027 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6016 6028 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6017 6029 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6018 6030
6019 6031 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6020 6032 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6021 6033 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6022 6034
6023 6035 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6024 6036
6025 6037 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6026 6038 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6027 6039
6028 6040 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6029 6041 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6030 6042 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6031 6043 html docs out of it will be found).
6032 6044
6033 6045 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6034 6046
6035 6047 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6036 6048 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6037 6049
6038 6050 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6039 6051
6040 6052 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6041 6053 visiting any directory in _dh.
6042 6054
6043 6055 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6044 6056 it out with numbers.
6045 6057
6046 6058 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6047 6059
6048 6060 * Released 0.1.22
6049 6061
6050 6062 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6051 6063 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6052 6064
6053 6065 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6054 6066 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6055 6067 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6056 6068 screen the necessary mail command.
6057 6069
6058 6070 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6059 6071 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6060 6072 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6061 6073
6062 6074 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6063 6075
6064 6076 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6065 6077 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6066 6078 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6067 6079 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6068 6080 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6069 6081 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6070 6082 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6071 6083 its name).
6072 6084
6073 6085 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6074 6086 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6075 6087 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6076 6088 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6077 6089
6078 6090 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6079 6091
6080 6092 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6081 6093 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6082 6094
6083 6095 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6084 6096 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6085 6097
6086 6098 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6087 6099 completion of @-starting lines.
6088 6100
6089 6101 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6090 6102 info that other files can read from.
6091 6103
6092 6104 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6093 6105 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6094 6106 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6095 6107 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6096 6108 restores produce less errors.
6097 6109
6098 6110 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6099 6111 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6100 6112 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6101 6113 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6102 6114 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6103 6115
6104 6116 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6105 6117 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6106 6118 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6107 6119 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6108 6120 with this, finally...
6109 6121
6110 6122 * Small documentation updates.
6111 6123
6112 6124 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6113 6125 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6114 6126 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6115 6127
6116 6128 * File renaming:
6117 6129 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6118 6130 ipplib --> iplib
6119 6131 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6120 6132
6121 6133 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6122 6134 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6123 6135 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6124 6136
6125 6137 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6126 6138 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6127 6139 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6128 6140
6129 6141 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6130 6142
6131 6143 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6132 6144 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6133 6145 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6134 6146 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6135 6147
6136 6148 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6137 6149 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6138 6150 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6139 6151
6140 6152 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6141 6153 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6142 6154 road.
6143 6155
6144 6156 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6145 6157 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6146 6158 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6147 6159 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6148 6160
6149 6161 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6150 6162
6151 6163 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6152 6164 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6153 6165 file accordingly.
6154 6166
6155 6167 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6156 6168 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6157 6169 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6158 6170 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6159 6171 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6160 6172 separators and proper padding and justification.
6161 6173
6162 6174 * Released 0.1.20
6163 6175
6164 6176 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6165 6177 copy operation was missing).
6166 6178
6167 6179 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6168 6180 its output is always quite long.
6169 6181
6170 6182 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6171 6183 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6172 6184 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6173 6185 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6174 6186
6175 6187 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6176 6188 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6177 6189 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6178 6190 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6179 6191
6180 6192 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6181 6193
6182 6194 * Released 0.1.19
6183 6195
6184 6196 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6185 6197 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6186 6198
6187 6199 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6188 6200 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6189 6201 comment on 'macros').
6190 6202
6191 6203 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6192 6204
6193 6205 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6194 6206 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6195 6207 statements and takes parameters.
6196 6208
6197 6209 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6198 6210
6199 6211 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6200 6212
6201 6213 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6202 6214
6203 6215 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6204 6216 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6205 6217
6206 6218 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6207 6219 ipythonrc-* samples.
6208 6220
6209 6221 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6210 6222 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6211 6223
6212 6224 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6213 6225 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6214 6226
6215 6227 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6216 6228
6217 6229 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6218 6230 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6219 6231 convention.
6220 6232
6221 6233 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6222 6234 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6223 6235
6224 6236 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6225 6237
6226 6238 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6227 6239 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6228 6240
6229 6241 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6230 6242 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6231 6243 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6232 6244 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6233 6245 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6234 6246 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6235 6247 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6236 6248 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6237 6249 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6238 6250 works.
6239 6251
6240 6252 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6241 6253
6242 6254 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6243 6255 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6244 6256 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6245 6257 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6246 6258 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6247 6259 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6248 6260 all the editors, less does that.
6249 6261
6250 6262 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6251 6263
6252 6264 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6253 6265 crash IPython.
6254 6266
6255 6267 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6256 6268
6257 6269 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6258 6270
6259 6271 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6260 6272 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6261 6273 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6262 6274 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6263 6275 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6264 6276 work in _ofind.
6265 6277
6266 6278 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6267 6279 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6268 6280 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6269 6281 (famous last words).
6270 6282
6271 6283 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6272 6284 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6273 6285 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6274 6286 windows).
6275 6287
6276 6288 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6277 6289 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6278 6290
6279 6291 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6280 6292 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6281 6293 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6282 6294 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6283 6295
6284 6296 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6285 6297 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6286 6298 licences and announce it.
6287 6299
6288 6300 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6289 6301 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6290 6302 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6291 6303 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6292 6304
6293 6305 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6294 6306
6295 6307 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6296 6308 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6297 6309 lists.
6298 6310
6299 6311 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6300 6312 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6301 6313 are ok.
6302 6314
6303 6315 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6304 6316 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6305 6317
6306 6318 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6307 6319 this to Nathan.
6308 6320
6309 6321 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6310 6322
6311 6323 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6312 6324 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6313 6325 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6314 6326
6315 6327 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6316 6328 accepted). Cleaner.
6317 6329
6318 6330 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6319 6331 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6320 6332 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6321 6333 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6322 6334 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6323 6335
6324 6336 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6325 6337
6326 6338 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6327 6339 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6328 6340 history after a log replay.
6329 6341
6330 6342 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6331 6343 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6332 6344 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6333 6345 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6334 6346 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6335 6347 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6336 6348
6337 6349 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6338 6350 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6339 6351 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6340 6352 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6341 6353 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6342 6354
6343 6355 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6344 6356
6345 6357 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6346 6358 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6347 6359 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6348 6360 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6349 6361 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6350 6362 one: cache_size.
6351 6363
6352 6364 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6353 6365 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6354 6366 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6355 6367 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6356 6368
6357 6369 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6358 6370 @ or not).
6359 6371
6360 6372 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6361 6373 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6362 6374 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6363 6375 about licensing).
6364 6376
6365 6377 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6366 6378
6367 6379 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6368 6380 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6369 6381
6370 6382 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6371 6383 screen size for page() operations.
6372 6384
6373 6385 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6374 6386 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6375 6387 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6376 6388 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6377 6389
6378 6390 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6379 6391 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6380 6392 option name tables are clearer.
6381 6393
6382 6394 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6383 6395 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6384 6396 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6385 6397 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6386 6398 was also changed a little to align better.
6387 6399
6388 6400 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6389 6401 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6390 6402
6391 6403 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6392 6404 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6393 6405 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6394 6406
6395 6407 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6396 6408 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6397 6409 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6398 6410 he needs it.
6399 6411
6400 6412 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6401 6413
6402 6414 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6403 6415 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6404 6416 warning on it.
6405 6417
6406 6418 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6407 6419 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6408 6420 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6409 6421 was too long).
6410 6422
6411 6423 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6412 6424 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6413 6425 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6414 6426
6415 6427 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6416 6428 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6417 6429 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6418 6430 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6419 6431 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6420 6432 function for the same task.
6421 6433
6422 6434 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6423 6435
6424 6436 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6425 6437
6426 6438 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6427 6439 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6428 6440 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6429 6441
6430 6442 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6431 6443 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6432 6444 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6433 6445
6434 6446 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6435 6447 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6436 6448 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6437 6449
6438 6450 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6439 6451
6440 6452 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6441 6453
6442 6454 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6443 6455 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6444 6456 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6445 6457
6446 6458 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6447 6459
6448 6460 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6449 6461
6450 6462 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6451 6463
6452 6464 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6453 6465 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6454 6466 maintain.
6455 6467
6456 6468 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6457 6469 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6458 6470 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6459 6471 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6460 6472 compiled and startup is much faster.
6461 6473
6462 6474 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6463 6475 while without messing too much more with the code.
6464 6476
6465 6477 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6466 6478
6467 6479 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6468 6480
6469 6481 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6470 6482 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6471 6483 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6472 6484
6473 6485 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6474 6486 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6475 6487
6476 6488 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6477 6489 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6478 6490 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6479 6491 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6480 6492 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6481 6493 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6482 6494
6483 6495 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6484 6496 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6485 6497
6486 6498 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6487 6499 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6488 6500
6489 6501 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6490 6502 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6491 6503 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6492 6504 excessive.
6493 6505
6494 6506 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6495 6507 types (only first word was displayed).
6496 6508
6497 6509 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6498 6510
6499 6511 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6500 6512
6501 6513 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6502 6514 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6503 6515 travel along many directories.
6504 6516
6505 6517 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6506 6518 arguments with default values.
6507 6519
6508 6520 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6509 6521
6510 6522 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6511 6523 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6512 6524
6513 6525 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6514 6526
6515 6527 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6516 6528 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6517 6529 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6518 6530
6519 6531 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6520 6532
6521 6533 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6522 6534 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6523 6535 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6524 6536 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6525 6537 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6526 6538 purposes.
6527 6539
6528 6540 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6529 6541 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6530 6542 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6531 6543 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6532 6544 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6533 6545 one can simply say
6534 6546 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6535 6547 or even
6536 6548 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6537 6549
6538 6550 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6539 6551 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6540 6552 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6541 6553
6542 6554 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6543 6555 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6544 6556 they were defined in
6545 6557
6546 6558 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6547 6559
6548 6560 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6549 6561 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6550 6562 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6551 6563 these to show the same information.
6552 6564
6553 6565 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6554 6566
6555 6567 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6556 6568 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6557 6569 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6558 6570 backtracked on the whole class!)
6559 6571
6560 6572 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6561 6573 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6562 6574 everything works as before).
6563 6575
6564 6576 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6565 6577 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6566 6578 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6567 6579 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.

6569 6581 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6570 6582
6571 6583 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6572 6584
6573 6585 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6574 6586 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6575 6587
6576 6588 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6577 6589 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6578 6590 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6579 6591 this later.
6580 6592
6581 6593 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6582 6594
6583 6595 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6584 6596 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6585 6597 line option.
6586 6598
6587 6599 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6588 6600 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6589 6601 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6590 6602 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6591 6603 didn't return a result).
6592 6604
6593 6605 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6594 6606
6595 6607 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6596 6608
6597 6609 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6598 6610 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6599 6611 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6600 6612 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6601 6613
6602 6614 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6603 6615
6604 6616 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6605 6617
6606 6618 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6607 6619 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6608 6620
6609 6621 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6610 6622 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6611 6623 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6612 6624 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6613 6625 in with the next entry:
6614 6626
6615 6627 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6616 6628 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6617 6629 handling.
6618 6630
6619 6631 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6620 6632 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6621 6633 namespace protection and documentation.
6622 6634
6623 6635 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6624 6636
6625 6637 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6626 6638 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6627 6639
6628 6640 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6629 6641
6630 6642 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6631 6643
6632 6644 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6633 6645
6634 6646 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6635 6647 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6636 6648 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6637 6649 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6638 6650 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6639 6651
6640 6652 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6641 6653 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6642 6654 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6643 6655
6644 6656 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6645 6657
6646 6658 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6647 6659 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6648 6660
6649 6661 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6650 6662
6651 6663 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6652 6664
6653 6665 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6654 6666 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6655 6667 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6656 6668 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6657 6669 ScientificPython.
6658 6670
6659 6671 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6660 6672
6661 6673 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6662 6674 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6663 6675 when called with no args.
6664 6676
6665 6677 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6666 6678 closely.
6667 6679
6668 6680 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6669 6681 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6670 6682 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6671 6683 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6672 6684 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6673 6685
6674 6686 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6675 6687
6676 6688 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6677 6689 customizations there and access them via import.
6678 6690
6679 6691 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6680 6692
6681 6693 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6682 6694
6683 6695 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6684 6696 Nathan and Janko.
6685 6697
6686 6698 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6687 6699
6688 6700 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6689 6701 too long.
6690 6702
6691 6703 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6692 6704
6693 6705 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6694 6706 ?sin and sin?
6695 6707 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6696 6708 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6697 6709 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6698 6710 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6699 6711
6700 6712 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6701 6713
6702 6714 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6703 6715
6704 6716 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6705 6717 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6706 6718
6707 6719 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6708 6720 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6709 6721 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6710 6722 me).
6711 6723
6712 6724 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6713 6725 protected (reasonably).
6714 6726
6715 6727 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6716 6728 note through it (it was too long).
6717 6729
6718 6730 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6719 6731 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6720 6732 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6721 6733 parameters.
6722 6734
6723 6735
6724 6736 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6725 6737
6726 6738 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6727 6739 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6728 6740 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6729 6741
6730 6742 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6731 6743 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6732 6744 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6733 6745
6734 6746 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6735 6747
6736 6748 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6737 6749
6738 6750 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6739 6751
6740 6752 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6741 6753 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6742 6754 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6743 6755 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6744 6756 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6745 6757 break.
6746 6758
6747 6759 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6748 6760 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6749 6761 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6750 6762 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6751 6763 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6752 6764 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6753 6765
6754 6766 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6755 6767 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6756 6768 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6757 6769 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6758 6770 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6759 6771 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6760 6772 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6761 6773 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6762 6774 trick.
6763 6775
6764 6776 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6765 6777 session restoring.
6766 6778
6767 6779 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6768 6780 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6769 6781 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6770 6782 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6771 6783 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6772 6784
6773 6785 * Started ChangeLog.
