67 67 Instances of this class are callable, with the __call__ method being an
68 68 alias to the embed() method of an InteractiveShell instance.
69 69
70 70 Usage (see also the example-embed.py file for a running example):
71 71
72 72 ipshell = IPShellEmbed([argv,banner,exit_msg,rc_override])
73 73
74 74 - argv: list containing valid command-line options for IPython, as they
75 75 would appear in sys.argv[1:].
76 76
77 77 For example, the following command-line options:
78 78
79 79 $ ipython -prompt_in1 'Input <\\#>' -colors LightBG
80 80
81 81 would be passed in the argv list as:
82 82
83 83 ['-prompt_in1','Input <\\#>','-colors','LightBG']
84 84
85 85 - banner: string which gets printed every time the interpreter starts.
86 86
87 87 - exit_msg: string which gets printed every time the interpreter exits.
88 88
89 89 - rc_override: a dict or Struct of configuration options such as those
90 90 used by IPython. These options are read from your ~/.ipython/ipythonrc
91 91 file when the Shell object is created. Passing an explicit rc_override
92 92 dict with any options you want allows you to override those values at
93 93 creation time without having to modify the file. This way you can create
94 94 embeddable instances configured in any way you want without editing any
95 95 global files (thus keeping your interactive IPython configuration
96 96 unchanged).
97 97
98 98 Then the ipshell instance can be called anywhere inside your code:
99 99
100 100 ipshell(header='') -> Opens up an IPython shell.
101 101
102 102 - header: string printed by the IPython shell upon startup. This can let
103 103 you know where in your code you are when dropping into the shell. Note
104 104 that 'banner' gets prepended to all calls, so header is used for
105 105 location-specific information.
106 106
107 107 For more details, see the __call__ method below.
108 108
109 109 When the IPython shell is exited with Ctrl-D, normal program execution
110 110 resumes.
111 111
112 112 This functionality was inspired by a posting on comp.lang.python by cmkl
113 113 <cmkleffner@gmx.de> on Dec. 06/01 concerning similar uses of pyrepl, and

79 79 #In [4]: callable
80 80 #------> callable()
81 81

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

3 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
4 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
5 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
6 backwards compatibility.
7
3 8 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
4 9 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
5 10 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
6 11 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
7 12 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
8 13 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
9 14 also works when debugging.
10 15
11 16 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
12 17 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
13 18
14 19 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
15 20 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
16 21 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
17 22
18 23 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
19 24 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
20 25 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.

110 115 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
111 116 one wants those instead.
112 117
113 118 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
114 119 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
115 120 instead.

136 141 sumbmitted to upstream.

138 143 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
139 144
140 145 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
141 146 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
142 147 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
143 148 running into an empty levels list later.
144 149
145 150 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
146 151
147 152 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
148 153 for the noitem object.

150 155 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
151 156
152 157 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
153 158 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
154 159 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
155 160 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
156 161
157 162 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
158 163
159 164 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
160 165 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
161 166 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
162 167 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
163 168 filenames.
164 169
165 170 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
166 171 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
167 172 out-of-process ipython code.
168 173
169 174 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
170 175 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
171 176 doctesting.
172 177
173 178 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
174 179
175 180 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
176 181
177 182 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were

180 185 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
181 186
182 187 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
183 188 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
184 189 only item.
185 190
186 191 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
187 192 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
188 193 infinite recursion for one line strings).
189 194
190 195 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
191 196
192 197 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
193 198 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
194 199 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
195 200
196 201 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
197 202
198 203 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
199 204 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
200 205 "%env VISUAL=jed".
201 206
202 207 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
203 208
204 209 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
205 210 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
206 211 but I'm not exactly sure why).
207 212
208 213 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
209 214 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
210 215
211 216 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
212 217
213 218 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
214 219 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
215 220
216 221 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
217 222 the time during IPython startup is spent.
218 223
219 224 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
220 225
221 226 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
222 227
223 228 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
224 229
225 230 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
226 231
227 232 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
228 233
229 234 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
230 235 to work properly on posix too
231 236
232 237 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
233 238
234 239 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
235 240
236 241 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
237 242 prefix + "/scripts".
238 243
239 244 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
240 245
241 246 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
242 247
243 248 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
244 249 if they already exist
245 250
246 251 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
247 252
248 253 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 254
250 255 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
251 256
252 257 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
253 258
254 259 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
255 260 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
256 261 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
257 262
258 263 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
259 264
260 265 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
261 266 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
262 267 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
263 268
264 269 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
265 270 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
266 271 in ipy_user_conf.py
267 272
268 273
269 274 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
270 275 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
271 276 as IPython script.
272 277
273 278 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
274 279
275 280 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
276 281
277 282 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
278 283 is called before any exception has occurred.
279 284
280 285 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
281 286
282 287 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
283 288 to translate /'s to \'s again.
284 289
285 290 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
286 291 backslash.
287 292
288 293 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
289 294
290 295 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
291 296
292 297 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
293 298 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
294 299 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
295 300
296 301 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
297 302 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
298 303
299 304 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
300 305 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
301 306
302 307 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
303 308
304 309 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
305 310
306 311 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
307 312 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
308 313
309 314 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
310 315 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
311 316 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
312 317 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
313 318 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
314 319 mapped to "%" now.
315 320 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
316 321
317 322 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
318 323
319 324 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
320 325 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
321 326 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
322 327 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
323 328
324 329 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
325 330
326 331 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
327 332 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
328 333 for shell escapes.
329 334
330 335 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
331 336
332 337 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
333 338 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
334 339 vcs_completer.
335 340
336 341 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
337 342
338 343 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
339 344 directly instead!
340 345
341 346 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
342 347
343 348 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
344 349 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
345 350
346 351 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
347 352 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
348 353 explicit.
349 354
350 355 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
351 356 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
352 357
353 358 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
354 359
355 360 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
356 361
357 362 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
358 363 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
359 364 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
360 365 implementation for Text is useless.
361 366
362 367 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
363 368
364 369 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
365 370
366 371 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
367 372
368 373 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
369 374 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
370 375 "profile"
371 376
372 377 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
373 378
374 379 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
375 380 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
376 381
377 382 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
378 383 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
379 384
380 385
381 386 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
382 387 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
383 388 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
384 389
385 390 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
386 391
387 392 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
388 393 with one from UserConfig.
389 394
390 395 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
391 396 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
392 397
393 398 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
394 399 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
395 400 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
396 401
397 402 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
398 403
399 404 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
400 405
401 406 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
402 407
403 408 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
404 409
405 410 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
406 411
407 412 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
408 413
409 414 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
410 415
411 416 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
412 417
413 418 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
414 419 by eval of expr with dots.
415 420
416 421 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
417 422
418 423 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
419 424 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
420 425 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
421 426 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
422 427 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
423 428 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
424 429
425 430 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
426 431
427 432 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
428 433 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
429 434 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
430 435
431 436 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
432 437 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
433 438 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
434 439 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
435 440 funtionality in ipconfig.
436 441
437 442 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
438 443 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
439 444 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
440 445 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
441 446
442 447 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
443 448
444 449 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
445 450 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
446 451 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
447 452 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
448 453 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
449 454 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
450 455 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
451 456 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
452 457 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
453 458 descriptors.
454 459
455 460 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
456 461 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
457 462
458 463 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
459 464 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
460 465
461 466 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
462 467
463 468 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
464 469
465 470 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
466 471
467 472 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
468 473 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
469 474 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
470 475
471 476 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
472 477 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
473 478 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
474 479
475 480 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
476 481 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
477 482 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
478 483 ipy_stock_completers.
479 484
480 485 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
481 486
482 487 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
483 488
484 489 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
485 490 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
486 491 when filtering possible completions.
487 492
488 493 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
489 494
490 495 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
491 496 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
492 497 function
493 498
494 499
495 500 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
496 501
497 502 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
498 503 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
499 504 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
500 505 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
501 506 SVN completer.
502 507
503 508 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
504 509 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
505 510 name is %led.
506 511
507 512 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 513
509 514 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
510 515 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
511 516 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
512 517
513 518 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
514 519 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
515 520 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
516 521 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
517 522 hook name is 'complete_command'.
518 523
519 524 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
520 525
521 526 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
522 527 Numeric leftovers.
523 528
524 529 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
525 530 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
526 531
527 532 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
528 533 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
529 534
530 535 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
531 536 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
532 537
533 538 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
534 539 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
535 540 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
536 541
537 542 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
538 543
539 544 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
540 545 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
541 546 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
542 547
543 548 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
544 549 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
545 550
546 551 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
547 552
548 553 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
549 554 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
550 555 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
551 556
552 557 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
553 558
554 559 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
555 560 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
556 561 internal crash handler.
557 562
558 563 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
559 564 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
560 565 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
561 566 at the request of SAGE.
562 567
563 568 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
564 569
565 570 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
566 571 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
567 572
568 573 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
569 574 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
570 575 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
571 576 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
572 577
573 578 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
574 579 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
575 580 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
576 581
577 582 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
578 583
579 584 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
580 585 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
581 586 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
582 587
583 588 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
584 589 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
585 590
586 591 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
587 592
588 593 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
589 594 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
590 595 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
591 596 Stefan.
592 597
593 598 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
594 599
595 600 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
596 601 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
597 602 sys.stdout.close().
598 603
599 604 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
600 605
601 606 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
602 607 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
603 608 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
604 609 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
605 610
606 611 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
607 612 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
608 613 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
609 614
610 615 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
611 616 2.5.
612 617
613 618 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
614 619 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
615 620 interactively.
616 621
617 622 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
618 623
619 624 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
620 625 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
621 626
622 627 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
623 628
624 629 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
625 630 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
626 631 or only files.
627 632
628 633 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
629 634
630 635 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
631 636 they broke unittest
632 637
633 638 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 639
635 640 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
636 641 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
637 642 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
638 643 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
639 644
640 645 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
641 646
642 647 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
643 648 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
644 649 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
645 650 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
646 651 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
647 652
648 653 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
649 654
650 655 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
651 656 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
652 657
653 658 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
654 659
655 660 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
656 661 the mode argument).
657 662
658 663 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
659 664
660 665 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
661 666 not running under IPython.
662 667
663 668 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
664 669 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
665 670 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
666 671 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
667 672 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
668 673 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
669 674 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
670 675 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
671 676 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
672 677 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
673 678 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
674 679 are still supported.
675 680
676 681 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
677 682 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
678 683 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
679 684 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
680 685
681 686 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
682 687 encoding into methods.
683 688
684 689 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
685 690
686 691 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
687 692 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
688 693
689 694 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
690 695
691 696 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
692 697 non existing attributes.
693 698
694 699 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
695 700
696 701 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
697 702 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
698 703
699 704 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
700 705
701 706 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
702 707 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
703 708
704 709 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
705 710
706 711 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
707 712 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
708 713 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
709 714
710 715 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
711 716
712 717 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
713 718 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
714 719 Stefan van der Walt.
715 720
716 721 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
717 722
718 723 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
719 724 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
720 725
721 726 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
722 727
723 728 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
724 729 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
725 730 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
726 731
727 732 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
728 733
729 734 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
730 735 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
731 736 attributes.
732 737
733 738 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
734 739
735 740 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
736 741 commands into the methods implementing them.
737 742
738 743 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
739 744
740 745 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
741 746 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
742 747 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
743 748
744 749 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
745 750
746 751 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
747 752 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
748 753
749 754 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
750 755
751 756 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
752 757 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
753 758
754 759 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
755 760
756 761 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
757 762 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
758 763 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
759 764 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
760 765 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
761 766 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
762 767 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
763 768 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
764 769 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
765 770 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
766 771 the x key to "delete".
767 772
768 773 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
769 774
770 775 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
771 776 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
772 777 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
773 778 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
774 779
775 780 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
776 781 prompt
777 782
778 783 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
779 784
780 785 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
781 786
782 787 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
783 788 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
784 789 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
785 790 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
786 791
787 792 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
788 793
789 794 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
790 795 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
791 796 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
792 797 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
793 798 doesn't work properly yet.
794 799
795 800 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
796 801
797 802 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
798 803 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
799 804 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
800 805
801 806 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
802 807
803 808 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
804 809 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
805 810 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
806 811 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
807 812 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
808 813 execute commands.
809 814
810 815 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
811 816
812 817 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
813 818 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
814 819
815 820 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
816 821
817 822 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
818 823 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
819 824
820 825 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
821 826
822 827 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
823 828 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
824 829 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
825 830
826 831 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
827 832
828 833 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
829 834
830 835 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
831 836 Repo tagged and release cut.
832 837
833 838 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
834 839
835 840 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
836 841 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
837 842
838 843 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
839 844 (for %upgrade)
840 845
841 846 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
842 847
843 848 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
844 849 instead of looping 20 times.
845 850
846 851 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
847 852 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
848 853 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
849 854
850 855 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
851 856 testing for release on 06/06.
852 857
853 858 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
854 859
855 860 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
856 861 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
857 862 live in people's PATH.
858 863
859 864 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
860 865 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
861 866 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
862 867 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
863 868 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
864 869
865 870 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
866 871 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
867 872
868 873 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
869 874
870 875 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
871 876 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
872 877
873 878 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
874 879
875 880 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
876 881 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
877 882 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
878 883
879 884 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
880 885
881 886 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
882 887 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
883 888 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
884 889 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
885 890
886 891 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
887 892 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
888 893 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
889 894 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
890 895
891 896 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
892 897 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
893 898 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
894 899 work.
895 900
896 901 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
897 902
898 903 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
899 904 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
900 905
901 906 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
902 907 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
903 908 author William Stein.
904 909
905 910 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
906 911 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
907 912 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
908 913 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
909 914 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
910 915 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
911 916 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
912 917 objects more easily.
913 918
914 919 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
915 920
916 921 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
917 922 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
918 923 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
919 924 by Jeffrey Collins.
920 925
921 926 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
922 927 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
923 928 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
924 929 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
925 930
926 931 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
927 932 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
928 933 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
929 934 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
930 935
931 936 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
932 937 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
933 938 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
934 939 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
935 940 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
936 941 compatibility)
937 942
938 943 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
939 944 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
940 945 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
941 946
942 947 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
943 948 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
944 949 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
945 950 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
946 951 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
947 952
948 953 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
949 954 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
950 955 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
951 956
952 957 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
953 958 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
954 959 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
955 960 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
956 961 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
957 962 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
958 963 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
959 964
960 965 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
961 966 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
962 967 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
963 968
964 969 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
965 970 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
966 971 it is a real module. Closes #59.
967 972
968 973 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
969 974 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.

973 978 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
974 979 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
975 980 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
976 981 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
977 982 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
978 983 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
979 984 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
980 985 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
981 986 while running under SAGE.
982 987
983 988 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
984 989
985 990 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
986 991 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
987 992 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
988 993 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
989 994
990 995 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
991 996
992 997 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
993 998 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
994 999 updated.
995 1000
996 1001 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
997 1002 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
998 1003 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
999 1004 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1000 1005 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1001 1006
1002 1007 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1003 1008 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1004 1009 so more testing is needed...
1005 1010
1006 1011 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1007 1012
1008 1013 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1009 1014 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1010 1015 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1011 1016 when doing complex debugging.
1012 1017 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1013 1018 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1014 1019 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1015 1020 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1016 1021
1017 1022 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1018 1023
1019 1024 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1020 1025 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1021 1026 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1022 1027 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1023 1028
1024 1029 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1025 1030
1026 1031 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1027 1032 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1028 1033
1029 1034 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1030 1035
1031 1036 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1032 1037 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1033 1038 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1034 1039 been the one to acquire it.
1035 1040
1036 1041 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1037 1042
1038 1043 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1039 1044
1040 1045 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1041 1046
1042 1047 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1043 1048 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1044 1049 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1045 1050
1046 1051 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1047 1052 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1048 1053 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1049 1054 properly flush the output cache.
1050 1055
1051 1056 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1052 1057 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1053 1058
1054 1059 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1055 1060
1056 1061 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1057 1062 are quoted
1058 1063
1059 1064 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1060 1065
1061 1066 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1062 1067 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1063 1068
1064 1069 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1065 1070 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1066 1071
1067 1072 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1068 1073
1069 1074 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1070 1075 %upgrade magic
1071 1076
1072 1077 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1073 1078
1074 1079 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1075 1080 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1076 1081 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1077 1082
1078 1083 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1079 1084
1080 1085 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1081 1086 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1082 1087
1083 1088 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1084 1089 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1085 1090 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1086 1091 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1087 1092 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1088 1093
1089 1094 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1090 1095
1091 1096 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1092 1097 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1093 1098
1094 1099 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1095 1100
1096 1101 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1097 1102 Torsten Marek.
1098 1103
1099 1104 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1100 1105
1101 1106 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1102 1107 line ranges works again.
1103 1108
1104 1109 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1105 1110
1106 1111 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1107 1112 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1108 1113 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1109 1114 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1110 1115 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1111 1116
1112 1117 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1113 1118 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1114 1119 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1115 1120 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1116 1121 more.
1117 1122
1118 1123 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1119 1124
1120 1125 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1121 1126 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1122 1127
1123 1128 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1124 1129
1125 1130 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1126 1131 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1127 1132
1128 1133 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1129 1134
1130 1135 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1131 1136
1132 1137 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1133 1138
1134 1139 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1135 1140
1136 1141 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1137 1142 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1138 1143 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1139 1144
1140 1145 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1141 1146
1142 1147 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1143 1148 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1144 1149 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1145 1150 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1146 1151
1147 1152 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1148 1153 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1149 1154
1150 1155 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1151 1156 contributed by marienz to close
1152 1157 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1153 1158
1154 1159 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1155 1160
1156 1161 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1157 1162
1158 1163 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1159 1164 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1160 1165 nonsense.
1161 1166
1162 1167 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1163 1168
1164 1169 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1165 1170 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1166 1171
1167 1172 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1168 1173
1169 1174 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1170 1175
1171 1176 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1172 1177 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1173 1178
1174 1179 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1175 1180
1176 1181 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1177 1182 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1178 1183 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1179 1184 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1180 1185 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1181 1186 SAGE team.
1182 1187 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1183 1188 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1184 1189
1185 1190 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1186 1191 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1187 1192 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1188 1193 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1189 1194 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1190 1195
1191 1196 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1192 1197
1193 1198 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1194 1199 correctly now (on Linux)
1195 1200
1196 1201 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1197 1202 warnings
1198 1203
1199 1204 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1200 1205
1201 1206 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1202 1207
1203 1208
1204 1209 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1205 1210
1206 1211 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1207 1212 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1208 1213 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1209 1214 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1210 1215 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1211 1216 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1212 1217 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1213 1218 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1214 1219
1215 1220 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1216 1221
1217 1222 * aliases can now be %store'd
1218 1223
1219 1224 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1220 1225 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1221 1226 at __init__.
1222 1227
1223 1228 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1224 1229 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1225 1230
1226 1231 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1227 1232
1228 1233 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1229 1234 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1230 1235 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1231 1236
1232 1237 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1233 1238
1234 1239 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1235 1240
1236 1241 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1237 1242
1238 1243 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1239 1244 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1240 1245 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1241 1246 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1242 1247
1243 1248 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1244 1249 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1245 1250
1246 1251 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1247 1252
1248 1253 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1249 1254 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1250 1255 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1251 1256 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1252 1257
1253 1258 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1254 1259 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1255 1260 usage.
1256 1261
1257 1262 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1258 1263 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1259 1264 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1260 1265
1261 1266 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1262 1267
1263 1268 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1264 1269 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1265 1270
1266 1271 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1267 1272 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1268 1273 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1269 1274
1270 1275 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1271 1276
1272 1277 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1273 1278
1274 1279 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1275 1280
1276 1281 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1277 1282 are now more helpful:
1278 1283 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1279 1284
1280 1285 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1281 1286
1282 1287 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1283 1288 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1284 1289
1285 1290 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1286 1291
1287 1292 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1288 1293 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1289 1294
1290 1295 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1291 1296 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1292 1297 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1293 1298
1294 1299 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1295 1300
1296 1301
1297 1302 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1298 1303
1299 1304 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1300 1305 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1301 1306
1302 1307 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1303 1308
1304 1309 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1305 1310 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1306 1311 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1307 1312 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1308 1313 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1309 1314 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1310 1315
1311 1316 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1312 1317
1313 1318 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1314 1319 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1315 1320 \python24\scripts).
1316 1321
1317 1322 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1318 1323 egg.
1319 1324
1320 1325 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1321 1326
1322 1327 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1323 1328
1324 1329 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1325 1330
1326 1331 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1327 1332
1328 1333 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1329 1334
1330 1335 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1331 1336 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1332 1337 \python24\scripts).
1333 1338
1334 1339 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1335 1340 egg.
1336 1341
1337 1342 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1338 1343
1339 1344 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1340 1345 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1341 1346 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1342 1347
1343 1348 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1344 1349 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1345 1350 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1346 1351 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1347 1352
1348 1353 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1349 1354 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1350 1355 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1351 1356 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1352 1357 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1353 1358 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1354 1359 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1355 1360 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1356 1361 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1357 1362 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1358 1363 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1359 1364 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1360 1365
1361 1366 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1362 1367
1363 1368 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1364 1369 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1365 1370 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1366 1371 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1367 1372
1368 1373 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1369 1374
1370 1375 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1371 1376 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1372 1377 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1373 1378 importing extensions easy.
1374 1379
1375 1380 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1376 1381 classes / instances of those classes.
1377 1382
1378 1383 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1379 1384 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1380 1385 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1381 1386 the user.
1382 1387
1383 1388 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1384 1389 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1385 1390 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1386 1391
1387 1392 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1388 1393
1389 1394 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1390 1395 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1391 1396 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1392 1397 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1393 1398 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1394 1399 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1395 1400 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1396 1401 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1397 1402 the method.
1398 1403
1399 1404 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1400 1405
1401 1406 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1402 1407 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1403 1408
1404 1409 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1405 1410
1406 1411 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1407 1412 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1408 1413 Vivian.
1409 1414
1410 1415 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1411 1416 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1412 1417 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1413 1418 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1414 1419 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1415 1420
1416 1421 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1417 1422
1418 1423 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1419 1424 that returns file contents on exit.
1420 1425
1421 1426 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1422 1427 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1423 1428 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1424 1429 sc files=ls
1425 1430 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1426 1431 print p,p.mtime
1427 1432
1428 1433 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1429 1434 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1430 1435 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1431 1436 instead of syntax error.
1432 1437
1433 1438
1434 1439 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1435 1440
1436 1441 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1437 1442 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1438 1443 data.
1439 1444
1440 1445 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1441 1446 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1442 1447 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1443 1448 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1444 1449
1445 1450 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1446 1451 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1447 1452 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1448 1453 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1449 1454 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1450 1455 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1451 1456
1452 1457 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1453 1458
1454 1459 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1455 1460 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1456 1461 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1457 1462 current dir.
1458 1463
1459 1464 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1460 1465 had to create new files.
1461 1466
1462 1467 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1463 1468 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1464 1469 future.
1465 1470
1466 1471 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1467 1472 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1468 1473 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1469 1474
1470 1475
1471 1476 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1472 1477
1473 1478 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1474 1479 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1475 1480 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1476 1481 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1477 1482 later.
1478 1483
1479 1484 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1480 1485 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1481 1486
1482 1487 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1483 1488
1484 1489 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1485 1490 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1486 1491 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1487 1492 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1488 1493 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1489 1494 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1490 1495
1491 1496 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1492 1497
1493 1498 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1494 1499 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1495 1500 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1496 1501 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1497 1502 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1498 1503 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1499 1504 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1500 1505 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1501 1506 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1502 1507 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1503 1508
1504 1509 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1505 1510 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1506 1511 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1507 1512 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1508 1513
1509 1514 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1510 1515 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1511 1516 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1512 1517 "setup.py install" between changes).
1513 1518
1514 1519 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1515 1520 if 1:
1516 1521 !ls
1517 1522 !!ls
1518 1523
1519 1524 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1520 1525
1521 1526 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1522 1527 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1523 1528 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1524 1529 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1525 1530
1526 1531 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1527 1532 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1528 1533 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1529 1534
1530 1535 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1531 1536
1532 1537 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1533 1538 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1534 1539 win32.
1535 1540
1536 1541 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1537 1542
1538 1543 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1539 1544
1540 1545 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1541 1546 ready for release.
1542 1547
1543 1548 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1544 1549 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1545 1550 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1546 1551 where to copy the info from.
1547 1552
1548 1553 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1549 1554
1550 1555 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1551 1556 support in the release tools as well.
1552 1557
1553 1558 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1554 1559
1555 1560 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1556 1561 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1557 1562 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1558 1563 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1559 1564
1560 1565 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1561 1566 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1562 1567 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1563 1568
1564 1569 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1565 1570 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1566 1571
1567 1572 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1568 1573 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1569 1574 printer not to work.
1570 1575
1571 1576 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1572 1577
1573 1578 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1574 1579 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1575 1580
1576 1581 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1577 1582
1578 1583 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1579 1584 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1580 1585 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1581 1586
1582 1587 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1583 1588 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1584 1589 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1585 1590
1586 1591 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1587 1592 Ville's patch.
1588 1593
1589 1594 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1590 1595
1591 1596 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1592 1597 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1593 1598 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1594 1599 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1595 1600 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1596 1601 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1597 1602 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1598 1603
1599 1604 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1600 1605 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1601 1606 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1602 1607
1603 1608 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1604 1609
1605 1610 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1606 1611 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1607 1612
1608 1613 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1609 1614 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1610 1615 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1611 1616 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1612 1617 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1613 1618 twister).
1614 1619
1615 1620 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1616 1621 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1617 1622 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1618 1623
1619 1624 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1620 1625 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1621 1626 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1622 1627 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1623 1628 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1624 1629 something inside the dis module.
1625 1630
1626 1631 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1627 1632
1628 1633 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1629 1634 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1630 1635 follows the discussion in
1631 1636 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1632 1637
1633 1638 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1634 1639 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1635 1640 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1636 1641
1637 1642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1638 1643 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1639 1644 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1640 1645
1641 1646 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1642 1647 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1643 1648 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1644 1649 speed up this routine.
1645 1650
1646 1651 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1647 1652 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1648 1653 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1649 1654 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1650 1655 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1651 1656 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1652 1657 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1653 1658 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1654 1659
1655 1660 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1656 1661 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1657 1662 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1658 1663
1659 1664 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1660 1665 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1661 1666 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1662 1667 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1663 1668 setters don't do anything).
1664 1669
1665 1670 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1666 1671
1667 1672 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1668 1673 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1669 1674 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1670 1675 falling out of sync...)
1671 1676
1672 1677 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1673 1678 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1674 1679 as loops).
1675 1680
1676 1681 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1677 1682 win32 system access.
1678 1683
1679 1684 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1680 1685
1681 1686 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1682 1687 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1683 1688 thread-safe.
1684 1689 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1685 1690 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1686 1691 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1687 1692 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1688 1693 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1689 1694 can still happen.
1690 1695 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1691 1696 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1692 1697 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1693 1698 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1694 1699 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1695 1700 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1696 1701 cleanly.
1697 1702
1698 1703 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1699 1704 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1700 1705 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1701 1706 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1702 1707 users' persisted data.
1703 1708
1704 1709 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1705 1710 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1706 1711 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1707 1712 multiline input (such as macros).
1708 1713
1709 1714 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1710 1715 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1711 1716 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1712 1717 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1713 1718 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1714 1719 informative).
1715 1720
1716 1721 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1717 1722 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1718 1723
1719 1724 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1720 1725 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1721 1726 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1722 1727
1723 1728 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1724 1729 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1725 1730 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1726 1731 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1727 1732 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1728 1733 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1729 1734 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1730 1735 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1731 1736 details.
1732 1737
1733 1738 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1734 1739 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1735 1740 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1736 1741 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1737 1742 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1738 1743
1739 1744 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1740 1745 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1741 1746 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1742 1747 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1743 1748 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1744 1749
1745 1750 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1746 1751 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1747 1752 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1748 1753 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1749 1754 options to %logstart. Closes
1750 1755 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1751 1756 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1752 1757
1753 1758 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1754 1759
1755 1760 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1756 1761 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1757 1762 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1758 1763 list:
1759 1764 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1760 1765
1761 1766 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1762 1767
1763 1768 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1764 1769 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1765 1770 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1766 1771 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1767 1772
1768 1773 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1769 1774 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1770 1775 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1771 1776 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1772 1777 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1773 1778
1774 1779 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1775 1780 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1776 1781 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1777 1782 true by default.
1778 1783
1779 1784 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1780 1785 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1781 1786 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1782 1787 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1783 1788
1784 1789 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1785 1790
1786 1791 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1787 1792 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1788 1793 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1789 1794 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1790 1795 version committed).
1791 1796
1792 1797 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1793 1798 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1794 1799 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1795 1800 discussion on the user list.
1796 1801
1797 1802 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1798 1803 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1799 1804 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1800 1805 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1801 1806
1802 1807 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1803 1808
1804 1809 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1805 1810 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1806 1811 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1807 1812
1808 1813 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1809 1814 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1810 1815 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1811 1816
1812 1817 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1813 1818 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1814 1819 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1815 1820 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1816 1821 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1817 1822 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1818 1823 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1819 1824 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1820 1825 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1821 1826 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1822 1827 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1823 1828 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1824 1829 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1825 1830 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1826 1831 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1827 1832 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1828 1833 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1829 1834 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1830 1835 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1831 1836 branch refactoring.
1832 1837
1833 1838 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1834 1839
1835 1840 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1836 1841 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1837 1842
1838 1843 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1839 1844 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1840 1845 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1841 1846 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1842 1847 worked correctly).
1843 1848
1844 1849 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1845 1850 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1846 1851 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1847 1852
1848 1853 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1849 1854
1850 1855 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1851 1856 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1852 1857 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1853 1858 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1854 1859 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1855 1860 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1856 1861 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1857 1862 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1858 1863
1859 1864 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1860 1865
1861 1866 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1862 1867 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1863 1868 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1864 1869 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1865 1870 on this.
1866 1871
1867 1872 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1868 1873
1869 1874 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1870 1875 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1871 1876 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1872 1877 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1873 1878 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1874 1879
1875 1880 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1876 1881
1877 1882 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1878 1883 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1879 1884 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1880 1885 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1881 1886
1882 1887 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1883 1888
1884 1889 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1885 1890 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1886 1891 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1887 1892
1888 1893 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1889 1894
1890 1895 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1891 1896 startup time.
1892 1897
1893 1898 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1894 1899 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1895 1900 it's working in all cases.
1896 1901
1897 1902 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1898 1903 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1899 1904 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1900 1905 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1901 1906 per-search basis.
1902 1907
1903 1908 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1904 1909
1905 1910 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1906 1911 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1907 1912 of a patch by Jorgen.
1908 1913
1909 1914 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1910 1915
1911 1916 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1912 1917 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1913 1918 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1914 1919
1915 1920 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1916 1921
1917 1922 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1918 1923 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1919 1924 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1920 1925 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1921 1926
1922 1927 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1923 1928
1924 1929 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1925 1930 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1926 1931 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1927 1932 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1928 1933 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1929 1934 implementing this functionality.
1930 1935
1931 1936 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1932 1937
1933 1938 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1934 1939 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1935 1940 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1936 1941 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1937 1942 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1938 1943 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1939 1944 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1940 1945
1941 1946 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1942 1947
1943 1948 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1944 1949 reported by Stephen Walton.
1945 1950
1946 1951 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1947 1952
1948 1953 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1949 1954
1950 1955 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1951 1956 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1952 1957
1953 1958 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1954 1959
1955 1960 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1956 1961 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1957 1962
1958 1963 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1959 1964 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1960 1965
1961 1966 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1962 1967
1963 1968 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1964 1969 finishing.
1965 1970
1966 1971 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1967 1972 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1968 1973
1969 1974 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1970 1975 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1971 1976 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1972 1977
1973 1978 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1974 1979 code, handy in general.
1975 1980
1976 1981 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1977 1982 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1978 1983 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1979 1984
1980 1985 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1981 1986
1982 1987 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1983 1988 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1984 1989 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1985 1990 testing, though.
1986 1991 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1987 1992 like this before...
1988 1993
1989 1994 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1990 1995 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1991 1996
1992 1997 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1993 1998 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1994 1999
1995 2000 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1996 2001
1997 2002 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1998 2003 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1999 2004 F. Mantegazza.
2000 2005
2001 2006 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2002 2007
2003 2008 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2004 2009 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2005 2010 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2006 2011
2007 2012 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2008 2013 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2009 2014 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2010 2015 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2011 2016 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2012 2017 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2013 2018
2014 2019 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2015 2020
2016 2021 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2017 2022 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2018 2023 beyond readline-based environments.
2019 2024
2020 2025 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2021 2026
2022 2027 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2023 2028
2024 2029 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2025 2030 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2026 2031 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2027 2032 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2028 2033 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2029 2034
2030 2035 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2031 2036
2032 2037 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2033 2038 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2034 2039 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2035 2040
2036 2041 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2037 2042
2038 2043 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.

2041 2046
2042 2047 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2043 2048 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2044 2049 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2045 2050 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2046 2051 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2047 2052 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).

2049 2054 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2050 2055
2051 2056 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2052 2057
2053 2058 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2054 2059
2055 2060 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2056 2061 invalid $HOME under win32.
2057 2062
2058 2063 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2059 2064
2060 2065 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2061 2066 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2062 2067 simpler and a bit faster.
2063 2068
2064 2069 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2065 2070 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2066 2071 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2067 2072 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2068 2073 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2069 2074
2070 2075 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2071 2076 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2072 2077 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2073 2078
2074 2079 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2075 2080 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2076 2081
2077 2082 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2078 2083 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2079 2084 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2080 2085 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2081 2086 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2082 2087 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2083 2088 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2084 2089
2085 2090 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2086 2091
2087 2092 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2088 2093
2089 2094 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2090 2095
2091 2096 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2092 2097 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2093 2098
2094 2099 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2095 2100
2096 2101 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2097 2102 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2098 2103 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2099 2104 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2100 2105 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2101 2106 for the contribution.
2102 2107
2103 2108 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2104 2109 slightly modified version of the patch in
2105 2110 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2106 2111 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2107 2112 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2109 2114 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2110 2115
2111 2116 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2112 2117 I/O a bit more.
2113 2118
2114 2119 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2115 2120 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2116 2121
2117 2122 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2119 2124 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2120 2125
2121 2126 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2122 2127 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2123 2128 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2124 2129 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2125 2130
2126 2131 readline_remove_delims -/~

2132 2137
2133 2138 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2134 2139 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2135 2140 <eli@gondolin.net>
2136 2141
2137 2142 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2138 2143
2139 2144 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2140 2145 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2141 2146
2142 2147 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2143 2148
2144 2149 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2145 2150 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2146 2151 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2147 2152
2148 2153 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2149 2154
2150 2155 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2151 2156 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2152 2157
2153 2158 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2154 2159
2155 2160 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2156 2161 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2157 2162
2158 2163 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2159 2164 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2160 2165 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2161 2166 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2162 2167 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2163 2168 for more details.
2164 2169
2165 2170 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2166 2171 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2167 2172 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2168 2173 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2169 2174
2170 2175 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2171 2176
2172 2177 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2173 2178 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2174 2179 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2175 2180 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2176 2181 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2177 2182
2178 2183 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2179 2184 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2180 2185 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2181 2186
2182 2187 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2183 2188
2184 2189 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2185 2190
2186 2191 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2187 2192
2188 2193 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2189 2194 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2190 2195 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2191 2196 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2192 2197 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2193 2198
2194 2199 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2195 2200
2196 2201 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2197 2202
2198 2203 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2199 2204 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2200 2205 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2201 2206 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2202 2207 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2203 2208
2204 2209 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2205 2210 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2206 2211 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2207 2212 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2208 2213 take the text parameter.
2209 2214
2210 2215 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2211 2216 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2212 2217 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2213 2218 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2214 2219 pysh profile to include the line
2215 2220
2216 2221 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2217 2222
2218 2223 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2219 2224 delete pysh.py and the line
2220 2225
2221 2226 execfile pysh.py
2222 2227
2223 2228 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2224 2229
2225 2230 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2226 2231 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2227 2232 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2228 2233 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2229 2234 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2230 2235
2231 2236 * pysh.py:
2232 2237
2233 2238 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2234 2239
2235 2240 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2236 2241 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2237 2242 want it can still turn it off.
2238 2243
2239 2244 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2240 2245 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2241 2246 off by default.
2242 2247
2243 2248 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2244 2249 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2245 2250 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2246 2251 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2247 2252 calls.
2248 2253
2249 2254 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2250 2255
2251 2256 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2252 2257 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2253 2258 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2254 2259
2255 2260 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2256 2261
2257 2262 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2258 2263 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2259 2264 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2260 2265 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2261 2266
2262 2267 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2263 2268 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2264 2269 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2265 2270 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2266 2271
2267 2272 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2268 2273
2269 2274 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2270 2275 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2271 2276
2272 2277 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2273 2278 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2274 2279 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2275 2280 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2276 2281 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2277 2282 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2278 2283 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2279 2284 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2280 2285
2281 2286 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2282 2287
2283 2288 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2284 2289 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2285 2290 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2286 2291 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2287 2292 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2288 2293 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2289 2294 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2290 2295 add new completers at runtime.
2291 2296
2292 2297 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2293 2298
2294 2299 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2295 2300 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2296 2301 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2297 2302 ? system.
2298 2303
2299 2304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2300 2305 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2301 2306 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2302 2307 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2303 2308 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2304 2309 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2305 2310 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2306 2311 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2307 2312
2308 2313 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2309 2314
2310 2315 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2311 2316 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2312 2317 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2313 2318 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2314 2319 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2315 2320
2316 2321 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2317 2322 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2318 2323 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2319 2324 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2320 2325 add:
2321 2326
2322 2327 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2323 2328 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2324 2329
2325 2330 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2326 2331
2327 2332 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2328 2333 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2329 2334 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2330 2335 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2331 2336
2332 2337 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2333 2338 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2334 2339 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2335 2340 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2336 2341 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2337 2342 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2338 2343 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2339 2344 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2340 2345 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2341 2346
2342 2347 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2343 2348
2344 2349 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2345 2350 prompt namespace handling.
2346 2351
2347 2352 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2348 2353
2349 2354 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2350 2355 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2351 2356 trips the emacs python mode).
2352 2357 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2353 2358 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2354 2359 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2355 2360 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2356 2361 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2357 2362 calls will be made at runtime.
2358 2363
2359 2364 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2360 2365
2361 2366 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2362 2367 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2363 2368 the call to %history.
2364 2369
2365 2370 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2366 2371
2367 2372 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2368 2373
2369 2374 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2370 2375 ipmagic() function calls.
2371 2376
2372 2377 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2373 2378 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2374 2379
2375 2380 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2376 2381
2377 2382 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2378 2383 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2379 2384 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2380 2385 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2381 2386 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2382 2387 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2383 2388 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2384 2389 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2385 2390
2386 2391 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2387 2392
2388 2393 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2389 2394 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2390 2395 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2391 2396 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2392 2397 Ville Vainio.

2394 2399 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2400
2396 2401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2397 2402 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2398 2403 define the ones they personally like.
2399 2404
2400 2405 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2401 2406
2402 2407 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2403 2408 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2404 2409
2405 2410 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2406 2411
2407 2412 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2408 2413 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2409 2414
2410 2415 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2411 2416 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2412 2417 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2413 2418 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2414 2419 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2415 2420 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2416 2421 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2417 2422 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2418 2423
2419 2424 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2420 2425 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2421 2426 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2422 2427 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2423 2428 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2424 2429
2425 2430 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2426 2431
2427 2432 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2428 2433 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2429 2434 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2430 2435
2431 2436 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2432 2437 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2433 2438 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2434 2439
2435 2440 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2436 2441
2437 2442 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2438 2443
2439 2444 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2440 2445 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2441 2446 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2442 2447 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2443 2448 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2444 2449 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2445 2450 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2446 2451 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2447 2452 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2448 2453 system is a separate implementation).
2449 2454
2450 2455 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2451 2456 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2452 2457 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2453 2458 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2454 2459 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2455 2460 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2456 2461 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2457 2462 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2458 2463 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2459 2464 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2460 2465 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2461 2466
2462 2467 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2463 2468
2464 2469 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2465 2470 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2466 2471 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2467 2472 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2468 2473 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2469 2474 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2470 2475 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2471 2476 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2472 2477
2473 2478 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2474 2479
2475 2480 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2476 2481 previous call produced a syntax error.
2477 2482
2478 2483 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2479 2484 classes without constructor.
2480 2485
2481 2486 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2482 2487
2483 2488 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2484 2489 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2485 2490 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2486 2491 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2487 2492 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2488 2493 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2489 2494 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2490 2495
2491 2496 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2492 2497
2493 2498 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2494 2499 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2495 2500
2496 2501 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2497 2502
2498 2503 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2499 2504 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2500 2505 optimizations.
2501 2506
2502 2507 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2503 2508 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2504 2509
2505 2510 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2506 2511
2507 2512 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2508 2513 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2509 2514 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2510 2515 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2511 2516 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2512 2517 avoid annoying the lists further.
2513 2518
2514 2519 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2515 2520
2516 2521 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2517 2522
2518 2523 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2519 2524 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2520 2525 norm definitions.
2521 2526 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2522 2527 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2523 2528 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2524 2529
2525 2530 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2526 2531 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2527 2532 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2528 2533 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2529 2534 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2530 2535
2531 2536 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2532 2537 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2533 2538 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2534 2539 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2535 2540
2536 2541 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2537 2542 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2538 2543 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2539 2544 fixes.
2540 2545
2541 2546 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2542 2547 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2543 2548 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2544 2549 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2545 2550 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2546 2551 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2547 2552 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2548 2553
2549 2554 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2550 2555
2551 2556 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2552 2557
2553 2558 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2554 2559 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2555 2560 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2556 2561 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2557 2562 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2558 2563 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2559 2564 Panel.
2560 2565
2561 2566 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2562 2567 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2563 2568 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2564 2569 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2565 2570 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2566 2571
2567 2572 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2568 2573
2569 2574 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2570 2575 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2571 2576
2572 2577 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2573 2578
2574 2579 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2575 2580
2576 2581 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2577 2582 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2578 2583 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2579 2584 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2580 2585 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2581 2586 python shell.
2582 2587
2583 2588 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2584 2589 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2585 2590 on assignments. This closes
2586 2591 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2587 2592 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2588 2593 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2589 2594
2590 2595 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2591 2596
2592 2597 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2593 2598 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2594 2599
2595 2600 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2596 2601
2597 2602 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2598 2603
2599 2604 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2600 2605 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2601 2606
2602 2607 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2603 2608
2604 2609 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2605 2610 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2606 2611 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2607 2612
2608 2613 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2609 2614
2610 2615 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2611 2616 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2612 2617 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2613 2618
2614 2619 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2615 2620
2616 2621 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2617 2622 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2618 2623 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2619 2624
2620 2625 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2621 2626 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2622 2627 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2623 2628
2624 2629 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2625 2630
2626 2631 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2627 2632 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2628 2633
2629 2634 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2630 2635
2631 2636 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2632 2637 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2633 2638 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2634 2639
2635 2640 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2636 2641
2637 2642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2638 2643 reported by Prabhu.
2639 2644 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2640 2645 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2641 2646 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2642 2647
2643 2648 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2644 2649 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2645 2650
2646 2651 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2647 2652 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2648 2653 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2649 2654 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2650 2655 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2651 2656 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2652 2657
2653 2658 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2654 2659
2655 2660 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2656 2661
2657 2662 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2658 2663 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2659 2664 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2660 2665 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2661 2666
2662 2667 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2663 2668 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2664 2669
2665 2670 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2666 2671 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2667 2672 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2668 2673 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2669 2674 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2670 2675 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2671 2676 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2672 2677
2673 2678 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2674 2679 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2675 2680 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2676 2681
2677 2682 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2678 2683 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2679 2684 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2680 2685 before.
2681 2686
2682 2687 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2683 2688
2684 2689 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2685 2690 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2686 2691 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2687 2692 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2688 2693
2689 2694 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2690 2695 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2691 2696 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2692 2697 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2693 2698 timing very short-running code.
2694 2699
2695 2700 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2696 2701 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2697 2702 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2698 2703 utility.
2699 2704
2700 2705 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2701 2706 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2702 2707 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2703 2708 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2704 2709 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2705 2710 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2706 2711 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2707 2712 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2708 2713
2709 2714 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2710 2715 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2711 2716 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2712 2717
2713 2718 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2714 2719 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2715 2720 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2716 2721 is for).
2717 2722
2718 2723 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2719 2724 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2720 2725 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2721 2726 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2722 2727 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2723 2728
2724 2729 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2725 2730
2726 2731 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2727 2732 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2728 2733 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2729 2734 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2730 2735 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2731 2736
2732 2737 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2733 2738 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2734 2739 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2735 2740 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2736 2741 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2737 2742 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.

2741 2746 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2742 2747 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2743 2748
2744 2749 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2745 2750
2746 2751 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2747 2752 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2748 2753 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2749 2754 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2750 2755
2751 2756 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2752 2757
2753 2758 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2754 2759
2755 2760 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2756 2761 setting with -d option.
2757 2762
2758 2763 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2759 2764 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2760 2765 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2761 2766 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2762 2767
2763 2768 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2764 2769
2765 2770 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2766 2771 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2767 2772
2768 2773 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2769 2774 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2770 2775 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2771 2776 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2772 2777 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2773 2778 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2774 2779 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2775 2780 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2776 2781 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2777 2782 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2778 2783 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2779 2784
2780 2785 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2781 2786
2782 2787 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2783 2788 cache when empty lines were present.
2784 2789
2785 2790 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2786 2791
2787 2792 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2788 2793 options for WX and GTK.
2789 2794
2790 2795 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2791 2796
2792 2797 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2793 2798 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2794 2799 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2795 2800 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2796 2801 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2797 2802 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2798 2803 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2799 2804
2800 2805 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2801 2806 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2802 2807
2803 2808 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2804 2809
2805 2810 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2806 2811 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2807 2812 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2808 2813 many thanks.
2809 2814
2810 2815 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2811 2816 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2812 2817 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2813 2818
2814 2819 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2815 2820
2816 2821 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2817 2822 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2818 2823 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2819 2824
2820 2825 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2821 2826
2822 2827 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2823 2828
2824 2829 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2825 2830 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2826 2831 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2827 2832
2828 2833 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2829 2834
2830 2835 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2831 2836 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2832 2837
2833 2838 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2834 2839
2835 2840 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2836 2841 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2837 2842 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2838 2843 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2839 2844 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2840 2845 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2841 2846 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2842 2847
2843 2848 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2844 2849
2845 2850 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2846 2851 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2847 2852 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2848 2853 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2849 2854
2850 2855 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2851 2856 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2852 2857
2853 2858 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2854 2859
2855 2860 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2856 2861 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2857 2862
2858 2863 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2859 2864 use throughout ipython.
2860 2865
2861 2866 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2862 2867 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2863 2868
2864 2869 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2865 2870 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2866 2871 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2867 2872 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2868 2873
2869 2874 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2870 2875
2871 2876 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2872 2877 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2873 2878 report by Francesc Alted.
2874 2879
2875 2880 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2876 2881
2877 2882 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2878 2883 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2879 2884
2880 2885 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2881 2886
2882 2887 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2883 2888 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2884 2889 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2885 2890 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2886 2891 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2887 2892 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2888 2893 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2889 2894 correctly set.
2890 2895
2891 2896 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2892 2897
2893 2898 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2894 2899 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2895 2900 import requirement of PEP-328.
2896 2901
2897 2902 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2898 2903 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2899 2904 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2900 2905 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2901 2906
2902 2907 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2903 2908
2904 2909 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2905 2910
2906 2911 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2907 2912 via a normal python function call.
2908 2913
2909 2914 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2910 2915 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2911 2916 2.4.
2912 2917
2913 2918 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2914 2919
2915 2920 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2916 2921 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2917 2922 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2918 2923 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2919 2924 is given to the user).
2920 2925
2921 2926 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2922 2927
2923 2928 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2924 2929 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2925 2930 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2926 2931 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2927 2932
2928 2933 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2929 2934 python 2.2.
2930 2935
2931 2936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2932 2937 banner arg for embedded customization.
2933 2938
2934 2939 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2935 2940 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2936 2941 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2937 2942 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2938 2943 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2939 2944 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2940 2945
2941 2946 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2942 2947 minor changes to debian dir.
2943 2948
2944 2949 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2945 2950 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2946 2951 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2947 2952 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2948 2953
2949 2954 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2950 2955
2951 2956 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2952 2957 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2953 2958 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2954 2959 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2955 2960 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2956 2961
2957 2962 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2958 2963
2959 2964 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2960 2965 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2961 2966
2962 2967 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2963 2968
2964 2969 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2965 2970 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2966 2971
2967 2972 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2968 2973
2969 2974 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2970 2975
2971 2976 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2972 2977 updated.
2973 2978
2974 2979 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2975 2980
2976 2981 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2977 2982 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2978 2983 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2979 2984 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2980 2985 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2981 2986
2982 2987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2983 2988 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2984 2989 split regexp. Closes
2985 2990 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2986 2991 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2987 2992 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2988 2993 extensions.
2989 2994
2990 2995 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2991 2996 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2992 2997 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2993 2998 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2994 2999 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2995 3000
2996 3001 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2997 3002 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2998 3003 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2999 3004 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3000 3005
3001 3006 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3002 3007 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3003 3008
3004 3009 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3005 3010 fine-tune banner.
3006 3011
3007 3012 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3008 3013 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3009 3014
3010 3015 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3011 3016
3012 3017 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3013 3018 were missing.
3014 3019
3015 3020 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3016 3021 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3017 3022 valid at the command line.
3018 3023
3019 3024 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3020 3025 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3021 3026
3022 3027 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3023 3028
3024 3029 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3025 3030 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3026 3031 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3027 3032
3028 3033 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3029 3034
3030 3035 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3031 3036 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3032 3037 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3033 3038 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3034 3039 continue to use the standard profiler.
3035 3040
3036 3041 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3037 3042
3038 3043 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3039 3044 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3040 3045 close.
3041 3046
3042 3047 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3043 3048
3044 3049 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3045 3050 in Magic and ultraTB.
3046 3051
3047 3052 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3048 3053
3049 3054 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3050 3055 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3051 3056 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3052 3057 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3053 3058
3054 3059 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3055 3060 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3056 3061 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3057 3062 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3058 3063 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3059 3064 infrastructure in place.
3060 3065
3061 3066 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3062 3067
3063 3068 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3064 3069
3065 3070 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3066 3071 the pylab profile.
3067 3072
3068 3073 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3069 3074
3070 3075 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3071 3076
3072 3077 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3073 3078 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3074 3079 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3075 3080 itself.
3076 3081
3077 3082 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3078 3083 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3079 3084 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3080 3085 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3081 3086 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3082 3087 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3083 3088 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3084 3089 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3085 3090
3086 3091 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3087 3092 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3088 3093
3089 3094 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3090 3095
3091 3096 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3092 3097 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3093 3098 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3094 3099
3095 3100 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3096 3101
3097 3102 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3098 3103 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3099 3104
3100 3105 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3101 3106
3102 3107 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3103 3108
3104 3109 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3105 3110
3106 3111 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3107 3112
3108 3113 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3109 3114 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3110 3115 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3111 3116
3112 3117 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3113 3118
3114 3119 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3115 3120 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3116 3121 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3117 3122 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3118 3123 works.
3119 3124
3120 3125 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3121 3126 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3122 3127 practice.
3123 3128
3124 3129 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3125 3130
3126 3131 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3127 3132 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3128 3133 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3129 3134
3130 3135 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3131 3136
3132 3137 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3133 3138 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3134 3139 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3135 3140 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3136 3141
3137 3142 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3138 3143
3139 3144 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3140 3145 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3141 3146 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3142 3147 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3143 3148
3144 3149 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3145 3150
3146 3151 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3147 3152
3148 3153 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3149 3154 fail for any number.
3150 3155 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3151 3156 empty bookmarks.
3152 3157
3153 3158 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3154 3159
3155 3160 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3156 3161
3157 3162 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3158 3163
3159 3164 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3160 3165 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3161 3166
3162 3167 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3163 3168 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3164 3169
3165 3170 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3166 3171
3167 3172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3168 3173 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3169 3174 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3170 3175 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3171 3176 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3172 3177
3173 3178 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3174 3179
3175 3180 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3176 3181 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3177 3182
3178 3183 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3179 3184
3180 3185 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3181 3186 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3182 3187 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3183 3188 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3184 3189
3185 3190 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3186 3191 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3187 3192 Schmolck.
3188 3193
3189 3194 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3190 3195
3191 3196 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3192 3197
3193 3198 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3194 3199 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3195 3200
3196 3201 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3197 3202 optimizations.
3198 3203
3199 3204 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3200 3205 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3201 3206
3202 3207 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3203 3208 --Started changelog.
3204 3209 --make clear do what it say it does
3205 3210 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3206 3211 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3207 3212 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3208 3213 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3209 3214 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3210 3215 can be done for other cases.
3211 3216 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3212 3217 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3213 3218 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3214 3219
3215 3220 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3216 3221 --added logfile rotation
3217 3222 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3218 3223
3219 3224 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3220 3225 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3221 3226 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3222 3227 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3223 3228 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3224 3229 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3225 3230 --added global logfile option
3226 3231 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3227 3232 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3228 3233
3229 3234 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3230 3235 --added a README
3231 3236 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3232 3237 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3233 3238 bug or feature.
3234 3239 --changed rc file for new behavior
3235 3240
3236 3241 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3237 3242
3238 3243 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3239 3244 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3240 3245 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3241 3246
3242 3247 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3243 3248 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3244 3249
3245 3250 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3246 3251
3247 3252 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3248 3253 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3249 3254 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3250 3255 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3251 3256 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3252 3257 and prepended with a #.
3253 3258
3254 3259 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3255 3260 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3256 3261
3257 3262 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3263
3259 3264 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3260 3265 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3261 3266
3262 3267 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3263 3268
3264 3269 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3265 3270 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3266 3271
3267 3272 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3268 3273
3269 3274 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3270 3275 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3271 3276 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3272 3277
3273 3278 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3274 3279
3275 3280 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3276 3281 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3277 3282
3278 3283 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3279 3284 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3280 3285 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3281 3286 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3282 3287 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3283 3288 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3284 3289 be implemented later).
3285 3290
3286 3291 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3287 3292 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3288 3293 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3289 3294 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3290 3295
3291 3296 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3292 3297 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3293 3298 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3294 3299
3295 3300 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3296 3301 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3297 3302
3298 3303 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3299 3304 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3300 3305 readline make it impossible to go further.
3301 3306
3302 3307 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3308
3304 3309 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3305 3310 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3306 3311
3307 3312 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3308 3313
3309 3314 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3310 3315 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3311 3316 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3312 3317 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3313 3318
3314 3319 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3315 3320 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3316 3321 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3317 3322 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3318 3323
3319 3324 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3320 3325 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3321 3326 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3322 3327 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3323 3328 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3324 3329 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3325 3330 problem.
3326 3331
3327 3332 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3328 3333 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3329 3334
3330 3335 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3331 3336 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3332 3337 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3333 3338
3334 3339 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3335 3340
3336 3341 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3337 3342 continue prompts.
3338 3343
3339 3344 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3340 3345 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3341 3346 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3342 3347 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3343 3348 byte-compilation saves time.
3344 3349
3345 3350 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3346 3351
3347 3352 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3348 3353 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3349 3354
3350 3355 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3351 3356 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3352 3357
3353 3358 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3354 3359 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3355 3360 common cases where it's a problem.
3356 3361
3357 3362 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3358 3363
3359 3364 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3360 3365 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3361 3366 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3362 3367 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3363 3368 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3364 3369 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3365 3370
3366 3371 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3367 3372
3368 3373 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3369 3374 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3370 3375
3371 3376 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3372 3377 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3373 3378 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3374 3379 structure as win_exec_ext.
3375 3380
3376 3381 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3377 3382 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3378 3383
3379 3384 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3380 3385 delete aliases.
3381 3386
3382 3387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3383 3388 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3384 3389
3385 3390 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3386 3391
3387 3392 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3388 3393 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3389 3394
3390 3395 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3391 3396
3392 3397 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3393 3398 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3394 3399
3395 3400 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3396 3401 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3397 3402
3398 3403 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3399 3404 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3400 3405 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3401 3406 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3402 3407 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3403 3408 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3404 3409
3405 3410 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3406 3411 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3407 3412 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3408 3413
3409 3414 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3410 3415 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3411 3416 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3412 3417
3413 3418 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3414 3419 via an extra $. For example:
3415 3420
3416 3421 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3417 3422
3418 3423 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3419 3424 a python variable
3420 3425
3421 3426 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3422 3427 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3423 3428
3424 3429 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3425 3430 things prematurely.
3426 3431
3427 3432 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3428 3433 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3429 3434
3430 3435 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3431 3436 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3432 3437 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3433 3438 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3434 3439 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3435 3440 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3436 3441 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3437 3442 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3438 3443
3439 3444 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3440 3445 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3441 3446 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3442 3447 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3443 3448 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3444 3449 with the old system).
3445 3450
3446 3451 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3447 3452
3448 3453 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3449 3454 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3450 3455
3451 3456 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3452 3457 call to eval.
3453 3458 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3454 3459 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3455 3460 in.
3456 3461
3457 3462 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3458 3463
3459 3464 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3460 3465 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3461 3466 confusion).
3462 3467
3463 3468 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3464 3469 check for Windows users.
3465 3470
3466 3471 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3467 3472 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3468 3473 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3469 3474 download it.
3470 3475
3471 3476 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3472 3477
3473 3478 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3474 3479 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3475 3480 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3476 3481 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3477 3482 of IDLE's out).
3478 3483
3479 3484 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3480 3485 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3481 3486 eventually.
3482 3487 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3483 3488
3484 3489 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3485 3490
3486 3491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3487 3492 list of auto-defined aliases.
3488 3493
3489 3494 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3490 3495
3491 3496 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3492 3497 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3493 3498 things under Windows).
3494 3499
3495 3500 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3496 3501
3497 3502 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3498 3503 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3499 3504 reported by Thorsten.
3500 3505
3501 3506 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3502 3507
3503 3508 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3504 3509 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3505 3510 for all examples and the manual as well.
3506 3511
3507 3512 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3513
3509 3514 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3510 3515 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3511 3516 inherit from BasePrompt.
3512 3517
3513 3518 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3514 3519 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3515 3520
3516 3521 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3517 3522 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3518 3523 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3519 3524 defaults.
3520 3525 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3521 3526 this fix manually!
3522 3527
3523 3528 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3524 3529 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3525 3530 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3526 3531 distutils).
3527 3532
3528 3533 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3529 3534 usage of new '\D' escape.
3530 3535
3531 3536 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3532 3537 lacks os.getuid())
3533 3538 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3534 3539 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3535 3540 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3536 3541 handling mechanism.
3537 3542 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3538 3543 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3539 3544 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3540 3545 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3541 3546 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3542 3547 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3543 3548 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3544 3549
3545 3550 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3546 3551
3547 3552 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3548 3553 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3549 3554 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3550 3555
3551 3556 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3552 3557 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3553 3558 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3554 3559 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3555 3560 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3556 3561 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3557 3562 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3558 3563 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3559 3564
3560 3565 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3561 3566 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3562 3567 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3563 3568 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3564 3569 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3565 3570 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3566 3571 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3567 3572 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3568 3573
3569 3574 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3570 3575 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3571 3576 functions uniform.
3572 3577 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3573 3578
3574 3579 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3575 3580 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3576 3581 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3577 3582 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3578 3583 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3579 3584 use to parse their options.
3580 3585
3581 3586 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3582 3587 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3583 3588 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3584 3589
3585 3590 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3586 3591 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3587 3592 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3588 3593 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3589 3594 via the prompt_specials.
3590 3595
3591 3596 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3597
3593 3598 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3594 3599 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3595 3600 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3596 3601 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3597 3602 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3598 3603 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3599 3604 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3600 3605 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3601 3606
3602 3607 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3608
3604 3609 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3605 3610 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3606 3611 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3607 3612
3608 3613 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3609 3614
3610 3615 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3611 3616 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3612 3617
3613 3618 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3614 3619
3615 3620 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3616 3621 parens would get passed to the shell.
3617 3622
3618 3623 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3619 3624
3620 3625 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3621 3626 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3622 3627
3623 3628 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3624 3629 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3625 3630 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3626 3631 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3627 3632 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3628 3633
3629 3634 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3630 3635 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3631 3636 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3632 3637 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3633 3638
3634 3639 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3635 3640
3636 3641 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3637 3642
3638 3643 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3639 3644 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3640 3645 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3641 3646
3642 3647 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3643 3648 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3644 3649 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3645 3650 official documentation.
3646 3651
3647 3652 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3648 3653
3649 3654 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3650 3655 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3651 3656 explicit filename.
3652 3657
3653 3658 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3654 3659
3655 3660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3656 3661 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3657 3662 case.
3658 3663
3659 3664 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3660 3665 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3661 3666 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3662 3667
3663 3668 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3664 3669
3665 3670 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3671
3667 3672 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3668 3673 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3669 3674 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3670 3675 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3671 3676 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3672 3677 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3673 3678 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3674 3679 any changes to python proper.
3675 3680
3676 3681 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3677 3682 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3678 3683 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3679 3684 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3680 3685 Schmolck.
3681 3686
3682 3687 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3683 3688
3684 3689 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3685 3690 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3686 3691 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3687 3692 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3688 3693
3689 3694 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3695
3691 3696 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3692 3697 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3693 3698 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3694 3699 name).
3695 3700
3696 3701 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3697 3702 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3698 3703 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3699 3704 Francois Pinard.
3700 3705
3701 3706 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3702 3707
3703 3708 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3704 3709 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3705 3710 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3706 3711 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3707 3712 not work.
3708 3713
3709 3714 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3710 3715
3711 3716 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3712 3717 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3713 3718 distinguishes stdout/err.
3714 3719
3715 3720 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3716 3721 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3717 3722 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3718 3723 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3719 3724 the standard library.
3720 3725
3721 3726 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3722 3727 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3723 3728
3724 3729 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3725 3730 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3726 3731
3727 3732 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3728 3733
3729 3734 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3730 3735 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3731 3736 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3732 3737 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3733 3738 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3734 3739 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3735 3740
3736 3741 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3737 3742
3738 3743 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3739 3744 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3740 3745 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3741 3746 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3742 3747
3743 3748 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3744 3749
3745 3750 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3746 3751 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3747 3752 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3748 3753 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3749 3754
3750 3755 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3751 3756
3752 3757 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3753 3758 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3754 3759 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3755 3760 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3756 3761 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3757 3762 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3758 3763 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3759 3764 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3760 3765
3761 3766 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3762 3767
3763 3768 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3764 3769 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3765 3770
3766 3771 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3767 3772
3768 3773 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3769 3774 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3770 3775 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3771 3776 very short.
3772 3777
3773 3778 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3774 3779
3775 3780 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3776 3781 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3777 3782 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3778 3783 this before making it permanent.
3779 3784
3780 3785 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3781 3786 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3782 3787 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3783 3788 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3784 3789
3785 3790 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3786 3791
3787 3792 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3788 3793 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3789 3794
3790 3795 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3791 3796
3792 3797 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3793 3798 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3794 3799 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3795 3800 cases I've missed.
3796 3801
3797 3802 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3798 3803
3799 3804 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3800 3805 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3801 3806 system would be triggered for @p.
3802 3807
3803 3808 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3804 3809 cleanups, code unmodified.
3805 3810
3806 3811 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3807 3812 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3808 3813 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3809 3814 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3810 3815 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3811 3816 The actual changes affect many files.

3813 3818 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3814 3819
3815 3820 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3816 3821 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3817 3822 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3818 3823
3819 3824 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3820 3825
3821 3826 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3822 3827 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3823 3828
3824 3829 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3825 3830
3826 3831 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3827 3832 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3828 3833 numpy list.
3829 3834
3830 3835 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3831 3836
3832 3837 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3833 3838 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3834 3839 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3835 3840 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3836 3841
3837 3842 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3838 3843
3839 3844 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3840 3845 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3841 3846 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3842 3847 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3843 3848
3844 3849 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3845 3850 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3846 3851
3847 3852 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3848 3853
3849 3854 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3850 3855 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3851 3856 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3852 3857 Collins.
3853 3858
3854 3859 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3855 3860
3856 3861 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3857 3862
3858 3863 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3859 3864 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3860 3865 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3861 3866
3862 3867 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3863 3868
3864 3869 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3865 3870 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3866 3871 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3867 3872 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3868 3873
3869 3874 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3870 3875 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3871 3876 __getitem__ and __call__.
3872 3877
3873 3878 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3874 3879
3875 3880 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3876 3881
3877 3882 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3878 3883 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3879 3884 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3880 3885 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3881 3886
3882 3887 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3883 3888 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3884 3889 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3885 3890 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3886 3891 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3887 3892 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3888 3893 necessary.
3889 3894
3890 3895 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3891 3896 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3892 3897 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3893 3898
3894 3899 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3895 3900 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3896 3901 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3897 3902 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3898 3903
3899 3904 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3900 3905 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3901 3906 generators.
3902 3907
3903 3908 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3904 3909 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3905 3910 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3906 3911 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3907 3912 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3908 3913 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3909 3914 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3910 3915
3911 3916 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3912 3917 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3913 3918 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3914 3919 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3915 3920 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3916 3921
3917 3922 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3918 3923 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3919 3924 edit under some circumstances.
3920 3925 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3921 3926 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3922 3927 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3923 3928 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3924 3929 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3925 3930 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3926 3931 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3927 3932 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3928 3933 need more testing.
3929 3934
3930 3935 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3931 3936
3932 3937 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3933 3938 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3934 3939 and simpler code.
3935 3940
3936 3941 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3937 3942
3938 3943 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3939 3944 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3940 3945 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3941 3946 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3942 3947 even if they were contiguous.
3943 3948 (l1norm): Added this function.
3944 3949 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3945 3950 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3946 3951 and speed.
3947 3952
3948 3953 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3949 3954
3950 3955 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3951 3956 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3952 3957 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3953 3958
3954 3959 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3955 3960
3956 3961 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3957 3962 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3958 3963 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3959 3964
3960 3965 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3961 3966 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3962 3967 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3963 3968
3964 3969 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3965 3970
3966 3971 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3967 3972 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3968 3973 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3969 3974 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3970 3975 activity.
3971 3976
3972 3977 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3973 3978
3974 3979 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3975 3980 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3976 3981 Numeric.identity)
3977 3982
3978 3983 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3979 3984
3980 3985 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3981 3986 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3982 3987 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3983 3988
3984 3989 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3985 3990
3986 3991 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3987 3992 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3988 3993 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3989 3994 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3990 3995
3991 3996 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3992 3997 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3993 3998 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3994 3999 is implemented).
3995 4000
3996 4001 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3997 4002
3998 4003 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3999 4004 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4000 4005 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4001 4006
4002 4007 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4003 4008 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4004 4009 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4005 4010 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4006 4011 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4007 4012
4008 4013 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4009 4014
4010 4015 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4011 4016
4012 4017 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4013 4018 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4014 4019 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4015 4020
4016 4021 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4017 4022
4018 4023 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4019 4024 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4020 4025 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4021 4026
4022 4027 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4023 4028 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4024 4029 crash report from Prabhu.
4025 4030
4026 4031 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4027 4032
4028 4033 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4029 4034 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4030 4035 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4031 4036 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4032 4037 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4033 4038 also be useful in other cases.
4034 4039
4035 4040 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4036 4041 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4037 4042 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4038 4043
4039 4044 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4040 4045
4041 4046 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4042 4047
4043 4048 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4044 4049 installing for a new user under Windows.
4045 4050
4046 4051 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4052
4048 4053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4049 4054 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4050 4055 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4051 4056 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4052 4057 there.
4053 4058
4054 4059 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4055 4060 info to crash reports.
4056 4061
4057 4062 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4058 4063 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4059 4064 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4060 4065 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4061 4066
4062 4067 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4063 4068
4064 4069 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4065 4070 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4066 4071 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4067 4072 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4068 4073
4069 4074 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4070 4075
4071 4076 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4072 4077 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4073 4078
4074 4079 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4075 4080
4076 4081 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4077 4082 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4078 4083
4079 4084 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4080 4085
4081 4086 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4082 4087
4083 4088 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4084 4089 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4085 4090 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4086 4091
4087 4092 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4088 4093 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4089 4094 with the new auto-indent option.
4090 4095
4091 4096 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4092 4097
4093 4098 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4094 4099 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4095 4100 this class from the main Shell class.
4096 4101
4097 4102 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4098 4103 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4099 4104 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4100 4105 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4101 4106 option).
4102 4107
4103 4108 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4104 4109 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4105 4110 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4106 4111 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4107 4112 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4108 4113
4109 4114 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4110 4115 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4111 4116 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4112 4117
4113 4118 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4114 4119 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4115 4120 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4116 4121 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4117 4122 tracebacks.
4118 4123
4119 4124 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4120 4125 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4121 4126 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4122 4127
4123 4128 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4124 4129
4125 4130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4126 4131 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4127 4132 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4128 4133 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4129 4134
4130 4135 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4131 4136
4132 4137 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4133 4138 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4134 4139 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4135 4140 for the bug report.
4136 4141
4137 4142 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4138 4143
4139 4144 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4140 4145 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4141 4146 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4142 4147 report.
4143 4148
4144 4149 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4145 4150
4146 4151 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4147 4152 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4148 4153 end).
4149 4154
4150 4155 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4151 4156 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4152 4157 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4153 4158
4154 4159 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4155 4160
4156 4161 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4157 4162 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4158 4163 for the patch.
4159 4164
4160 4165 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4161 4166
4162 4167 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4163 4168 functions.
4164 4169

4167 4172 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4168 4173
4169 4174 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4170 4175 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4171 4176 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4172 4177 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4173 4178 private fix.
4174 4179
4175 4180 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4176 4181 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4177 4182 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4178 4183 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4179 4184 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4180 4185 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4181 4186 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4182 4187 fixed for this setup.
4183 4188
4184 4189 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4185 4190 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4186 4191
4187 4192 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4188 4193
4189 4194 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4190 4195
4191 4196 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4192 4197 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4193 4198 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4194 4199 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4195 4200 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4196 4201 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4197 4202 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4198 4203 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4199 4204 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4200 4205
4201 4206 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4202 4207 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4203 4208 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4204 4209
4205 4210 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4206 4211
4207 4212 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4208 4213
4209 4214 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4210 4215 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4211 4216 pickle-related issue in @run).
4212 4217
4213 4218 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4214 4219
4215 4220 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4216 4221 the autocall option at runtime.
4217 4222 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4218 4223 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4219 4224 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4220 4225 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4221 4226 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4222 4227 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4223 4228 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4224 4229 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4225 4230 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4226 4231 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4227 4232 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4228 4233 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4229 4234 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4230 4235 pickles to save something sensible.
4231 4236
4232 4237 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4233 4238
4234 4239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4235 4240 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4236 4241 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4237 4242
4238 4243 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4244
4240 4245 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4241 4246 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4242 4247
4243 4248 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4244 4249
4245 4250 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4246 4251 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4247 4252 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4248 4253 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4249 4254
4250 4255 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4251 4256
4252 4257 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4253 4258 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4254 4259 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4255 4260 array is non-contiguous.
4256 4261
4257 4262 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4263
4259 4264 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4260 4265 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4261 4266 executed).
4262 4267 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4263 4268 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4264 4269 output.
4265 4270 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4266 4271 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4267 4272 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4268 4273 changing.
4269 4274
4270 4275 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4271 4276
4272 4277 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4273 4278
4274 4279 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4275 4280 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4276 4281 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4277 4282 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4278 4283 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4279 4284 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4280 4285 like a normal command-line.
4281 4286
4282 4287 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4283 4288 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4284 4289 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4285 4290 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4286 4291
4287 4292 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4293
4289 4294 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4290 4295 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4291 4296 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4292 4297 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4293 4298
4294 4299 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4295 4300
4296 4301 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4297 4302 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4298 4303 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4299 4304 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4300 4305 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4301 4306 think it's worth doing.
4302 4307
4303 4308 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4304 4309
4305 4310 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4306 4311
4307 4312 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4308 4313 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4309 4314
4310 4315 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4311 4316 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4312 4317 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4313 4318 also work ok.
4314 4319
4315 4320 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4316 4321
4317 4322 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4318 4323
4319 4324 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4320 4325
4321 4326 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4322 4327 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4323 4328 of gnuplot data files.
4324 4329
4325 4330 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4326 4331
4327 4332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4328 4333 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4329 4334
4330 4335 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4331 4336
4332 4337 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4333 4338 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4334 4339 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4335 4340 for pointing this out.
4336 4341
4337 4342 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4338 4343
4339 4344 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4340 4345
4341 4346 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4342 4347 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4343 4348 Interactive.
4344 4349
4345 4350 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4346 4351 being imported from iplib.
4347 4352
4348 4353 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4349 4354 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4350 4355 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4351 4356 common name.
4352 4357
4353 4358 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4354 4359 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4355 4360
4356 4361 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4357 4362 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4358 4363
4359 4364 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4360 4365 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4361 4366 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4362 4367 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4363 4368 docstrings).
4364 4369
4365 4370 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4371
4367 4372 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4368 4373 (inconsistent with options).
4369 4374
4370 4375 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4371 4376 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4372 4377 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4373 4378 eps output.
4374 4379
4375 4380 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4376 4381
4377 4382 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4378 4383 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4379 4384 Pinard.
4380 4385
4381 4386 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4382 4387
4383 4388 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4384 4389 history file for new users.
4385 4390 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4386 4391 user running in the .ipython dir.
4387 4392 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4388 4393 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4389 4394 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4390 4395
4391 4396 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4392 4397 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4393 4398 consistently.
4394 4399
4395 4400 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4396 4401 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4397 4402 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4398 4403 libraries I don't have access to.
4399 4404
4400 4405 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4401 4406 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4402 4407 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4403 4408 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4404 4409 report.
4405 4410
4406 4411 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4407 4412
4408 4413 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4409 4414 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4410 4415 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4411 4416 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4412 4417
4413 4418 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4414 4419
4415 4420 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4416 4421 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4417 4422 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4418 4423 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4419 4424 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4420 4425 instance has been created.
4421 4426
4422 4427 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4423 4428 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4424 4429 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4425 4430 dict by hand.
4426 4431
4427 4432 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4428 4433
4429 4434 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4430 4435 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4431 4436 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4432 4437 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4433 4438 broken.
4434 4439
4435 4440 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4436 4441 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4437 4442 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4438 4443 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4439 4444
4440 4445 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4441 4446 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4442 4447 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4443 4448 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4444 4449 is a valid one.
4445 4450
4446 4451 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4447 4452 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4448 4453 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4449 4454
4450 4455 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4451 4456 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4452 4457 simply leftover junk.
4453 4458
4454 4459 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4455 4460
4456 4461 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4457 4462 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4458 4463 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4459 4464
4460 4465 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4461 4466 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4462 4467 exceptions.
4463 4468
4464 4469 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4465 4470
4466 4471 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4467 4472 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4468 4473 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4469 4474 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4470 4475 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4471 4476
4472 4477 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4473 4478 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4474 4479
4475 4480 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4476 4481 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4477 4482 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4478 4483 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4479 4484 problem mentioned below.
4480 4485
4481 4486 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4482 4487
4483 4488 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4484 4489 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4485 4490
4486 4491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4487 4492 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4488 4493 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4489 4494 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4490 4495 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4491 4496
4492 4497 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4493 4498 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4494 4499 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4495 4500 actual function names.
4496 4501
4497 4502 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4498 4503 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4499 4504 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4500 4505 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4501 4506 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4502 4507 really be only function/method names.
4503 4508
4504 4509 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4510
4506 4511 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4507 4512 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4508 4513 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4509 4514
4510 4515 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4516
4512 4517 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4513 4518 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4514 4519 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4515 4520
4516 4521 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4517 4522 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4518 4523
4519 4524 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4520 4525 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4521 4526 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4522 4527
4523 4528 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4524 4529 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4525 4530 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4526 4531
4527 4532 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6

4529 4534 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4530 4535
4531 4536 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4537
4533 4538 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4534 4539 Gnuplot.File objects.
4535 4540
4536 4541 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4537 4542
4538 4543 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4539 4544 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4540 4545 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4541 4546
4542 4547 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4543 4548
4544 4549 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4545 4550 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4546 4551
4547 4552 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4548 4553 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4549 4554
4550 4555 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4551 4556 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4552 4557
4553 4558 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4554 4559
4555 4560 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4556 4561 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4557 4562 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4558 4563 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4559 4564
4560 4565 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4561 4566
4562 4567 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4563 4568 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4564 4569 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4565 4570
4566 4571 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4567 4572
4568 4573 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4569 4574 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4570 4575 workaround).
4571 4576
4572 4577 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4573 4578
4574 4579 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4575 4580 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4576 4581
4577 4582 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4578 4583
4579 4584 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4580 4585 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4581 4586
4582 4587 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4583 4588 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4584 4589 .strip() is called on it.
4585 4590
4586 4591
4587 4592 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4588 4593
4589 4594 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4590 4595 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4591 4596 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4592 4597
4593 4598 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4594 4599 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4595 4600
4596 4601 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4597 4602 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4598 4603 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4599 4604
4600 4605 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4601 4606
4602 4607 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4603 4608 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4604 4609 __main__.
4605 4610
4606 4611 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4607 4612 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4608 4613
4609 4614 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4610 4615 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4611 4616 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4612 4617 Mathematica behaves.
4613 4618
4614 4619 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4615 4620
4616 4621 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4617 4622 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4618 4623
4619 4624 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4620 4625 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4621 4626 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4622 4627
4623 4628 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4624 4629 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4625 4630
4626 4631 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4627 4632
4628 4633 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4629 4634 underflow problems in Numeric.
4630 4635 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4631 4636 for exact integer powers of 2.
4632 4637
4633 4638 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4634 4639 properly.
4635 4640
4636 4641 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4637 4642
4638 4643 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4639 4644 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4640 4645
4641 4646 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4642 4647
4643 4648 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4644 4649 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4645 4650
4646 4651 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4647 4652
4648 4653 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4649 4654 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4650 4655 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4651 4656 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4652 4657 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4653 4658 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4654 4659 times).
4655 4660
4656 4661 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4657 4662 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4658 4663 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4659 4664
4660 4665 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4661 4666
4662 4667 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4663 4668 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4664 4669 embedded code.
4665 4670
4666 4671 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4667 4672 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4668 4673 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4669 4674
4670 4675 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4671 4676 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4672 4677 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4673 4678 less special-casing to remember.
4674 4679
4675 4680 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4676 4681
4677 4682 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4678 4683 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4679 4684 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4680 4685 arg is not a defined object.
4681 4686 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4682 4687 a Mike Heeter idea.
4683 4688
4684 4689 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4685 4690 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4686 4691 interactive use.
4687 4692
4688 4693 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4689 4694 filenames.
4690 4695
4691 4696 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4692 4697
4693 4698 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4694 4699 initialization via another struct.
4695 4700
4696 4701 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4697 4702 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4698 4703
4699 4704 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4700 4705
4701 4706 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4702 4707 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4703 4708 too big).
4704 4709
4705 4710 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4706 4711
4707 4712 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4708 4713 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4709 4714 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4710 4715 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4711 4716
4712 4717 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4713 4718
4714 4719 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4715 4720 macros having broken.
4716 4721
4717 4722 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4718 4723
4719 4724 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4720 4725 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4721 4726 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4722 4727 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4723 4728 not to lists.
4724 4729
4725 4730 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4726 4731
4727 4732 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4728 4733 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4729 4734 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4730 4735
4731 4736 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4732 4737 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4733 4738
4734 4739 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4735 4740 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4736 4741 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4737 4742
4738 4743 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4739 4744 triple-quoted strings.
4740 4745
4741 4746 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4742 4747 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4743 4748 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4744 4749 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4745 4750 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4746 4751 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4747 4752
4748 4753 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4749 4754
4750 4755 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4751 4756 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4752 4757 ultraTB).
4753 4758
4754 4759 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4755 4760
4756 4761 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4757 4762 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4758 4763 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4759 4764 user's 'g' variables).
4760 4765
4761 4766 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4762 4767 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4763 4768 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4764 4769 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4765 4770 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4766 4771 macros.
4767 4772
4768 4773 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4769 4774
4770 4775 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4771 4776 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4772 4777
4773 4778 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4774 4779 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4775 4780 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4776 4781
4777 4782 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4778 4783
4779 4784 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4780 4785 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4781 4786 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4782 4787 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4783 4788 aliases.
4784 4789
4785 4790 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4786 4791
4787 4792 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4788 4793 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4789 4794 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4790 4795 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4791 4796
4792 4797 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4793 4798
4794 4799 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4795 4800 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4796 4801 user-defined functions overrode them.
4797 4802
4798 4803 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4799 4804
4800 4805 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4801 4806 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4802 4807
4803 4808 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4804 4809
4805 4810 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4806 4811 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4807 4812 IPython.
4808 4813
4809 4814 * Released 0.2.13
4810 4815
4811 4816 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4812 4817 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4813 4818 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4814 4819 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4815 4820
4816 4821 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4817 4822
4818 4823 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4819 4824 magic properly formatted for screen.
4820 4825
4821 4826 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4822 4827 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4823 4828
4824 4829 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4825 4830 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4826 4831 etc.)
4827 4832
4828 4833 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4829 4834
4830 4835 * Released 0.2.12
4831 4836
4832 4837 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4833 4838
4834 4839 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4835 4840 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4836 4841 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4837 4842 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4838 4843 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4839 4844 an alias to @run -i.
4840 4845
4841 4846 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4842 4847 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4843 4848
4844 4849 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4845 4850
4846 4851 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4847 4852 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4848 4853 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4849 4854
4850 4855 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4851 4856 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4852 4857 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4853 4858 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4854 4859 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4855 4860 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4856 4861 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4857 4862
4858 4863 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4859 4864
4860 4865 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4861 4866 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4862 4867 printed).
4863 4868
4864 4869 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4865 4870 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4866 4871 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4867 4872
4868 4873 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4869 4874 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4870 4875
4871 4876 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4872 4877 handle magic commands in them.
4873 4878 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4874 4879 ~/mylog' now works.
4875 4880
4876 4881 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4877 4882 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4878 4883
4879 4884 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4880 4885
4881 4886 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4882 4887 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4883 4888
4884 4889 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4885 4890 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4886 4891 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4887 4892 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4888 4893 variables are in the context of an exception.
4889 4894 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4890 4895 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4891 4896
4892 4897 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4893 4898 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4894 4899
4895 4900 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4896 4901
4897 4902 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4898 4903 magics can parse options easier.
4899 4904 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4900 4905 suggested by Chris Hart.
4901 4906 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4902 4907 directory actually is in history.
4903 4908
4904 4909 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4905 4910 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4906 4911 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4907 4912
4908 4913 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4909 4914 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4910 4915 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4911 4916 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4912 4917
4913 4918 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4914 4919
4915 4920 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4916 4921 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4917 4922
4918 4923 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4919 4924 text (was a bug).
4920 4925
4921 4926 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4922 4927
4923 4928 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4924 4929 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4925 4930 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4926 4931
4927 4932 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4928 4933
4929 4934 * Released 0.2.10
4930 4935
4931 4936 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4932 4937
4933 4938 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4934 4939 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4935 4940
4936 4941 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4937 4942
4938 4943 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4939 4944 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4940 4945
4941 4946 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4942 4947
4943 4948 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4944 4949 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4945 4950 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4946 4951 __init__.py)
4947 4952
4948 4953 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4949 4954
4950 4955 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4951 4956 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4952 4957 test for being inside IPython.
4953 4958
4954 4959 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4955 4960 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4956 4961 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4957 4962 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4958 4963
4959 4964 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4960 4965
4961 4966 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4962 4967 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4963 4968 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4964 4969
4965 4970 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4966 4971 embedding example to standard user directory for
4967 4972 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4968 4973
4969 4974 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4970 4975 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4971 4976 hidden global).
4972 4977
4973 4978 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4974 4979 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4975 4980 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4976 4981 case.
4977 4982
4978 4983 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4979 4984
4980 4985 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4981 4986 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4982 4987 start.
4983 4988
4984 4989 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4985 4990 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4986 4991 Numeric or math.
4987 4992
4988 4993 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4989 4994 provided profiles. Now we have:
4990 4995 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4991 4996 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4992 4997 -physics -> same as before
4993 4998
4994 4999 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4995 5000 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4996 5001 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4997 5002 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4998 5003 string adds).
4999 5004
5000 5005 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5001 5006 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5002 5007 line with the gnuplot code).
5003 5008
5004 5009 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5005 5010
5006 5011 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5007 5012 all included files change.
5008 5013
5009 5014 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5010 5015 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5011 5016
5012 5017 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5013 5018 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5014 5019 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5015 5020
5016 5021 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5017 5022 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5018 5023
5019 5024 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5020 5025 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5021 5026
5022 5027 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5023 5028 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5024 5029 now accessible.
5025 5030
5026 5031 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5027 5032 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5028 5033 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5029 5034 removed.
5030 5035 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5031 5036 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5032 5037 don't crash.
5033 5038 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5034 5039 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5035 5040 remains available.
5036 5041
5037 5042 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5038 5043
5039 5044 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5040 5045
5041 5046 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5042 5047
5043 5048 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5044 5049 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5045 5050 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5046 5051 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5047 5052
5048 5053 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5049 5054
5050 5055 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5051 5056 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5052 5057 sync with the output counter.
5053 5058
5054 5059 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5055 5060 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5056 5061
5057 5062 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5058 5063
5059 5064 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5060 5065 readline, fix it back after each call.
5061 5066
5062 5067 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5063 5068 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5064 5069 traceback references are properly deleted.
5065 5070
5066 5071 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5067 5072 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5068 5073
5069 5074 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5070 5075
5071 5076 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5072 5077 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5073 5078 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5074 5079 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5075 5080 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5076 5081 to catch SystemExit).
5077 5082
5078 5083 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5079 5084 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5080 5085 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5081 5086 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5082 5087 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5083 5088 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5084 5089
5085 5090 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5086 5091
5087 5092 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5088 5093 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5089 5094 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5090 5095
5091 5096 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5092 5097 configurable (it should have always been so).
5093 5098
5094 5099 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5095 5100
5096 5101 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5097 5102 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5098 5103 done in a more elegant way.
5099 5104
5100 5105 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5101 5106
5102 5107 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5103 5108 win9x also.
5104 5109
5105 5110 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5106 5111
5107 5112 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5108 5113 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5109 5114
5110 5115 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5111 5116
5112 5117 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5113 5118
5114 5119 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5115 5120 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5116 5121
5117 5122 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5118 5123 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5119 5124
5120 5125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5121 5126 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5122 5127
5123 5128 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5124 5129 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5125 5130
5126 5131 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5127 5132
5128 5133 * Released 0.2.8
5129 5134
5130 5135 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5131 5136 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5132 5137 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5133 5138 on' so that the first tab completes.
5134 5139 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5135 5140 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5136 5141
5137 5142 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5138 5143 installation.
5139 5144
5140 5145 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5141 5146 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5142 5147
5143 5148 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5144 5149
5145 5150 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5146 5151 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5147 5152 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5148 5153
5149 5154 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5150 5155 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5151 5156
5152 5157 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5153 5158 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5154 5159 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5155 5160 suggestion.
5156 5161
5157 5162 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5158 5163 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5159 5164 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5160 5165
5161 5166 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5162 5167 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5163 5168
5164 5169 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5165 5170
5166 5171 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5167 5172 which properly handles things for windows users.
5168 5173
5169 5174 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5170 5175
5171 5176 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5172 5177 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5173 5178 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5174 5179 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5175 5180 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5176 5181
5177 5182 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5178 5183
5179 5184 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5180 5185
5181 5186 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5182 5187 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5183 5188
5184 5189 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5185 5190
5186 5191 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5187 5192 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5188 5193 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5189 5194 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5190 5195 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5191 5196 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5192 5197
5193 5198 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5194 5199
5195 5200 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5196 5201 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5197 5202
5198 5203 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5199 5204 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5200 5205 cache at 20 values.
5201 5206
5202 5207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5203 5208 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5204 5209 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5205 5210 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5206 5211
5207 5212 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5208 5213 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5209 5214 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5210 5215 'file show').
5211 5216
5212 5217 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5213 5218 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5214 5219
5215 5220 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5216 5221 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5217 5222 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5218 5223
5219 5224 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5220 5225 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5221 5226 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5222 5227 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5223 5228
5224 5229 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5225 5230 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5226 5231 the prompt strings.
5227 5232
5228 5233 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5229 5234
5230 5235 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5231 5236 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5232 5237
5233 5238 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5234 5239 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5235 5240 either globally or at each call.
5236 5241
5237 5242 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5238 5243 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5239 5244 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5240 5245 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5241 5246
5242 5247 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5243 5248
5244 5249 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5245 5250 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5246 5251
5247 5252 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5248 5253
5249 5254 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5250 5255 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5251 5256 learning some lisp...
5252 5257
5253 5258 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5254 5259
5255 5260 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5256 5261 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5257 5262 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5258 5263 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5259 5264
5260 5265 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5261 5266 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5262 5267 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5263 5268
5264 5269 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5265 5270
5266 5271 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5267 5272 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5268 5273 control to emacs users.
5269 5274
5270 5275 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5271 5276 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5272 5277 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5273 5278 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5274 5279 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5275 5280 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5276 5281
5277 5282 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5278 5283
5279 5284 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5280 5285
5281 5286 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5282 5287 @logstate magic was created.
5283 5288
5284 5289 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5285 5290 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5286 5291
5287 5292 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5288 5293
5289 5294 * Released 0.2.6.
5290 5295
5291 5296 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5292 5297 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5293 5298
5294 5299 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5295 5300 SciPy.
5296 5301
5297 5302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5298 5303 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5299 5304 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5300 5305 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5301 5306 the section on embedding and the example file.
5302 5307
5303 5308 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5304 5309 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5305 5310 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5306 5311
5307 5312 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5308 5313 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5309 5314 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5310 5315
5311 5316 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5312 5317 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5313 5318 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5314 5319 for this to work.
5315 5320
5316 5321 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5317 5322
5318 5323 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5319 5324 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5320 5325 well inside Emacs buffers.
5321 5326 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5322 5327 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5323 5328 same bug in iplib.
5324 5329
5325 5330 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5326 5331
5327 5332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5328 5333 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5329 5334
5330 5335 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5331 5336 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5332 5337 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5333 5338
5334 5339 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5335 5340 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5336 5341 display is done.
5337 5342
5338 5343 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5339 5344 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5340 5345
5341 5346 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5342 5347 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5343 5348 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5344 5349 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5345 5350 like in Octave.
5346 5351
5347 5352 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5348 5353 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5349 5354
5350 5355 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5351 5356
5352 5357 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5353 5358 whole file a little.
5354 5359
5355 5360 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5356 5361 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5357 5362 end-user distro.
5358 5363
5359 5364 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5360 5365 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5361 5366 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5362 5367
5363 5368 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5364 5369 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5365 5370
5366 5371 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5367 5372 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5368 5373 for @file.
5369 5374
5370 5375 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5371 5376 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5372 5377 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5373 5378 the code a bit easier.
5374 5379
5375 5380 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5376 5381 information to crash reports.
5377 5382
5378 5383 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5379 5384
5380 5385 * Released 0.2.5.
5381 5386
5382 5387 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5383 5388
5384 5389 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5385 5390 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5386 5391 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5387 5392
5388 5393 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5389 5394
5390 5395 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5391 5396 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5392 5397 have thigs work as expected.
5393 5398
5394 5399 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5395 5400 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5396 5401 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5397 5402 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5398 5403 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5399 5404
5400 5405 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5401 5406 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5402 5407
5403 5408 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5404 5409
5405 5410 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5406 5411 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5407 5412
5408 5413 * README and manual updates.
5409 5414
5410 5415 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5411 5416 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5412 5417
5413 5418 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5414 5419 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5415 5420
5416 5421 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5417 5422 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5418 5423 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5419 5424 extension-less files.
5420 5425
5421 5426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5422 5427 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5423 5428 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5424 5429
5425 5430 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5426 5431 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5427 5432
5428 5433 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5429 5434 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5430 5435 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5431 5436 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5432 5437 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5433 5438 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5434 5439 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5435 5440 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5436 5441 least make manually a shortcut.
5437 5442
5438 5443 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5439 5444 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5440 5445 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5441 5446 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5442 5447 runtime, with @colors.
5443 5448 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5444 5449 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5445 5450
5446 5451 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5447 5452
5448 5453 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5449 5454 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5450 5455 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5451 5456 read the startup info.
5452 5457
5453 5458 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5454 5459
5455 5460 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5456 5461 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5457 5462 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5458 5463 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5459 5464 type the better off we are.
5460 5465 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5461 5466 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5462 5467 before.
5463 5468
5464 5469 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5465 5470
5466 5471 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5467 5472 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5468 5473 this later.
5469 5474
5470 5475 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5471 5476
5472 5477 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5473 5478 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5474 5479 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5475 5480
5476 5481 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5477 5482
5478 5483 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5479 5484 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5480 5485 spitting out only offset information as before.
5481 5486 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5482 5487 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5483 5488
5484 5489 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5485 5490
5486 5491 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5487 5492 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5488 5493 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5489 5494 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5490 5495 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5491 5496 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5492 5497 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5493 5498 macros.
5494 5499
5495 5500 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5496 5501
5497 5502 * Released 0.2.4.
5498 5503
5499 5504 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5500 5505 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5501 5506 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5502 5507 re-execution.
5503 5508
5504 5509 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5505 5510
5506 5511 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5507 5512 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5508 5513 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5509 5514 documented, of course :)
5510 5515 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5511 5516 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5512 5517 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5513 5518
5514 5519 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5515 5520
5516 5521 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5517 5522 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5518 5523 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5519 5524
5520 5525 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5521 5526
5522 5527 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5523 5528 so I wanted an updated release).
5524 5529
5525 5530 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5526 5531
5527 5532 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5528 5533 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5529 5534 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5530 5535 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5531 5536 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5532 5537
5533 5538 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5534 5539
5535 5540 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5536 5541 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5537 5542
5538 5543 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5539 5544
5540 5545 * Released 0.2.2.
5541 5546
5542 5547 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5543 5548 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5544 5549 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5545 5550 versions.
5546 5551
5547 5552 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5548 5553 (MayaVi author).
5549 5554
5550 5555 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5551 5556
5552 5557 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5553 5558 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5554 5559 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5555 5560 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5556 5561 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5557 5562
5558 5563 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5559 5564 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5560 5565
5561 5566 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5562 5567
5563 5568 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5564 5569 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5565 5570 nice, full-blown manual.
5566 5571
5567 5572 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5568 5573 trivially simple for end-users.
5569 5574
5570 5575 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5571 5576
5572 5577 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5573 5578 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5574 5579
5575 5580 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5576 5581 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5577 5582
5578 5583 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5579 5584
5580 5585 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5581 5586 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5582 5587 people to later upgrade versions.
5583 5588
5584 5589 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5585 5590 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5586 5591 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5587 5592 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5588 5593 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5589 5594 SystemExit).
5590 5595
5591 5596 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5592 5597 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5593 5598 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5594 5599 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5595 5600 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5596 5601
5597 5602 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5598 5603 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5599 5604 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5600 5605
5601 5606 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5602 5607
5603 5608 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5604 5609 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5605 5610
5606 5611 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5607 5612 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5608 5613 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5609 5614 html docs out of it will be found).
5610 5615
5611 5616 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5612 5617
5613 5618 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5614 5619 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5615 5620
5616 5621 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5617 5622
5618 5623 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5619 5624 visiting any directory in _dh.
5620 5625
5621 5626 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5622 5627 it out with numbers.
5623 5628
5624 5629 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5625 5630
5626 5631 * Released 0.1.22
5627 5632
5628 5633 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5629 5634 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5630 5635
5631 5636 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5632 5637 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5633 5638 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5634 5639 screen the necessary mail command.
5635 5640
5636 5641 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5637 5642 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5638 5643 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5639 5644
5640 5645 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5641 5646
5642 5647 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5643 5648 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5644 5649 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5645 5650 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5646 5651 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5647 5652 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5648 5653 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5649 5654 its name).
5650 5655
5651 5656 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5652 5657 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5653 5658 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5654 5659 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5655 5660
5656 5661 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5657 5662
5658 5663 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5659 5664 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5660 5665
5661 5666 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5662 5667 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5663 5668
5664 5669 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5665 5670 completion of @-starting lines.
5666 5671
5667 5672 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5668 5673 info that other files can read from.
5669 5674
5670 5675 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5671 5676 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5672 5677 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5673 5678 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5674 5679 restores produce less errors.
5675 5680
5676 5681 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5677 5682 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5678 5683 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5679 5684 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5680 5685 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5681 5686
5682 5687 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5683 5688 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5684 5689 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5685 5690 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5686 5691 with this, finally...
5687 5692
5688 5693 * Small documentation updates.
5689 5694
5690 5695 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5691 5696 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5692 5697 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5693 5698
5694 5699 * File renaming:
5695 5700 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5696 5701 ipplib --> iplib
5697 5702 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5698 5703
5699 5704 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5700 5705 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5701 5706 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5702 5707
5703 5708 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5704 5709 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5705 5710 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5706 5711
5707 5712 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5708 5713
5709 5714 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5710 5715 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5711 5716 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5712 5717 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5713 5718
5714 5719 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5715 5720 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5716 5721 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5717 5722
5718 5723 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5719 5724 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5720 5725 road.
5721 5726
5722 5727 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5723 5728 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5724 5729 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5725 5730 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5726 5731
5727 5732 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5728 5733
5729 5734 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5730 5735 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5731 5736 file accordingly.
5732 5737
5733 5738 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5734 5739 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5735 5740 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5736 5741 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5737 5742 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5738 5743 separators and proper padding and justification.
5739 5744
5740 5745 * Released 0.1.20
5741 5746
5742 5747 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5743 5748 copy operation was missing).
5744 5749
5745 5750 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5746 5751 its output is always quite long.
5747 5752
5748 5753 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5749 5754 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5750 5755 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5751 5756 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5752 5757
5753 5758 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5754 5759 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5755 5760 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5756 5761 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5757 5762
5758 5763 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5759 5764
5760 5765 * Released 0.1.19
5761 5766
5762 5767 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5763 5768 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5764 5769
5765 5770 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5766 5771 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5767 5772 comment on 'macros').
5768 5773
5769 5774 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5770 5775
5771 5776 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5772 5777 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5773 5778 statements and takes parameters.
5774 5779
5775 5780 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5776 5781
5777 5782 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5778 5783
5779 5784 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5780 5785
5781 5786 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5782 5787 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5783 5788
5784 5789 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5785 5790 ipythonrc-* samples.
5786 5791
5787 5792 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5788 5793 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5789 5794
5790 5795 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5791 5796 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5792 5797
5793 5798 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5794 5799
5795 5800 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5796 5801 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5797 5802 convention.
5798 5803
5799 5804 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5800 5805 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5801 5806
5802 5807 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5803 5808
5804 5809 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5805 5810 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5806 5811
5807 5812 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5808 5813 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5809 5814 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5810 5815 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5811 5816 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5812 5817 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5813 5818 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5814 5819 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5815 5820 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5816 5821 works.
5817 5822
5818 5823 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5819 5824
5820 5825 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5821 5826 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5822 5827 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5823 5828 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5824 5829 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5825 5830 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5826 5831 all the editors, less does that.
5827 5832
5828 5833 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5829 5834
5830 5835 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5831 5836 crash IPython.
5832 5837
5833 5838 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5834 5839
5835 5840 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5836 5841
5837 5842 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5838 5843 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5839 5844 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5840 5845 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5841 5846 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5842 5847 work in _ofind.
5843 5848
5844 5849 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5845 5850 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5846 5851 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5847 5852 (famous last words).
5848 5853
5849 5854 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5850 5855 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5851 5856 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5852 5857 windows).
5853 5858
5854 5859 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5855 5860 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5856 5861
5857 5862 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5858 5863 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5859 5864 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5860 5865 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5861 5866
5862 5867 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5863 5868 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5864 5869 licences and announce it.
5865 5870
5866 5871 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5867 5872 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5868 5873 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5869 5874 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5870 5875
5871 5876 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5872 5877
5873 5878 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5874 5879 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5875 5880 lists.
5876 5881
5877 5882 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5878 5883 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5879 5884 are ok.
5880 5885
5881 5886 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5882 5887 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5883 5888
5884 5889 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5885 5890 this to Nathan.
5886 5891
5887 5892 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5888 5893
5889 5894 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5890 5895 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5891 5896 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5892 5897
5893 5898 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5894 5899 accepted). Cleaner.
5895 5900
5896 5901 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5897 5902 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5898 5903 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5899 5904 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5900 5905 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5901 5906
5902 5907 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5903 5908
5904 5909 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5905 5910 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5906 5911 history after a log replay.
5907 5912
5908 5913 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5909 5914 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5910 5915 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5911 5916 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5912 5917 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5913 5918 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5914 5919
5915 5920 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5916 5921 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5917 5922 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5918 5923 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5919 5924 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5920 5925
5921 5926 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5922 5927
5923 5928 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5924 5929 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5925 5930 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5926 5931 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5927 5932 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5928 5933 one: cache_size.
5929 5934
5930 5935 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5931 5936 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5932 5937 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5933 5938 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5934 5939
5935 5940 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5936 5941 @ or not).
5937 5942
5938 5943 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5939 5944 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5940 5945 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5941 5946 about licensing).
5942 5947
5943 5948 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5944 5949
5945 5950 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5946 5951 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5947 5952
5948 5953 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5949 5954 screen size for page() operations.
5950 5955
5951 5956 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5952 5957 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5953 5958 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5954 5959 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5955 5960
5956 5961 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5957 5962 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5958 5963 option name tables are clearer.
5959 5964
5960 5965 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5961 5966 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5962 5967 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5963 5968 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5964 5969 was also changed a little to align better.
5965 5970
5966 5971 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5967 5972 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5968 5973
5969 5974 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5970 5975 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5971 5976 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5972 5977
5973 5978 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5974 5979 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5975 5980 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5976 5981 he needs it.
5977 5982
5978 5983 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5979 5984
5980 5985 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5981 5986 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5982 5987 warning on it.
5983 5988
5984 5989 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5985 5990 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5986 5991 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5987 5992 was too long).
5988 5993
5989 5994 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5990 5995 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5991 5996 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5992 5997
5993 5998 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5994 5999 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5995 6000 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5996 6001 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5997 6002 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5998 6003 function for the same task.
5999 6004
6000 6005 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6001 6006
6002 6007 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6003 6008
6004 6009 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6005 6010 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6006 6011 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6007 6012
6008 6013 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6009 6014 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6010 6015 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6011 6016
6012 6017 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6013 6018 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6014 6019 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6015 6020
6016 6021 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6017 6022
6018 6023 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6019 6024
6020 6025 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6021 6026 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6022 6027 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6023 6028
6024 6029 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6025 6030
6026 6031 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6027 6032
6028 6033 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6029 6034
6030 6035 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6031 6036 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6032 6037 maintain.
6033 6038
6034 6039 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6035 6040 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6036 6041 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6037 6042 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6038 6043 compiled and startup is much faster.
6039 6044
6040 6045 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6041 6046 while without messing too much more with the code.
6042 6047
6043 6048 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6044 6049
6045 6050 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6046 6051
6047 6052 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6048 6053 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6049 6054 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6050 6055
6051 6056 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6052 6057 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6053 6058
6054 6059 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6055 6060 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6056 6061 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6057 6062 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6058 6063 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6059 6064 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6060 6065
6061 6066 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6062 6067 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6063 6068
6064 6069 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6065 6070 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6066 6071
6067 6072 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6068 6073 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6069 6074 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6070 6075 excessive.
6071 6076
6072 6077 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6073 6078 types (only first word was displayed).
6074 6079
6075 6080 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6076 6081
6077 6082 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6078 6083
6079 6084 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6080 6085 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6081 6086 travel along many directories.
6082 6087
6083 6088 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6084 6089 arguments with default values.
6085 6090
6086 6091 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6087 6092
6088 6093 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6089 6094 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6090 6095
6091 6096 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6092 6097
6093 6098 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6094 6099 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6095 6100 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6096 6101
6097 6102 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6098 6103
6099 6104 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6100 6105 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6101 6106 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6102 6107 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6103 6108 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6104 6109 purposes.
6105 6110
6106 6111 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6107 6112 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6108 6113 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6109 6114 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6110 6115 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6111 6116 one can simply say
6112 6117 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6113 6118 or even
6114 6119 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6115 6120
6116 6121 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6117 6122 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6118 6123 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6119 6124
6120 6125 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6121 6126 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6122 6127 they were defined in
6123 6128
6124 6129 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6125 6130
6126 6131 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6127 6132 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6128 6133 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6129 6134 these to show the same information.
6130 6135
6131 6136 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6132 6137
6133 6138 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6134 6139 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6135 6140 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6136 6141 backtracked on the whole class!)
6137 6142
6138 6143 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6139 6144 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6140 6145 everything works as before).
6141 6146
6142 6147 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6143 6148 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6144 6149 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6145 6150 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6146 6151
6147 6152 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6148 6153
6149 6154 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6150 6155
6151 6156 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6152 6157 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6153 6158
6154 6159 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6155 6160 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6156 6161 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6157 6162 this later.
6158 6163
6159 6164 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6160 6165
6161 6166 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6162 6167 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6163 6168 line option.
6164 6169
6165 6170 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6166 6171 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6167 6172 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6168 6173 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6169 6174 didn't return a result).
6170 6175
6171 6176 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6172 6177
6173 6178 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6174 6179
6175 6180 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6176 6181 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6177 6182 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6178 6183 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6179 6184
6180 6185 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6181 6186
6182 6187 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6183 6188
6184 6189 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6185 6190 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6186 6191
6187 6192 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6188 6193 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6189 6194 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6190 6195 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6191 6196 in with the next entry:
6192 6197
6193 6198 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6194 6199 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6195 6200 handling.
6196 6201
6197 6202 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6198 6203 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6199 6204 namespace protection and documentation.
6200 6205
6201 6206 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6202 6207
6203 6208 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6204 6209 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6205 6210
6206 6211 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6207 6212
6208 6213 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6209 6214
6210 6215 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6211 6216
6212 6217 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6213 6218 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6214 6219 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6215 6220 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6216 6221 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6217 6222
6218 6223 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6219 6224 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6220 6225 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6221 6226
6222 6227 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6223 6228
6224 6229 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6225 6230 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6226 6231
6227 6232 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6228 6233
6229 6234 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6230 6235
6231 6236 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6232 6237 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6233 6238 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6234 6239 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6235 6240 ScientificPython.
6236 6241
6237 6242 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6238 6243
6239 6244 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6240 6245 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6241 6246 when called with no args.
6242 6247
6243 6248 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6244 6249 closely.
6245 6250
6246 6251 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6247 6252 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6248 6253 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6249 6254 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6250 6255 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6251 6256
6252 6257 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6253 6258
6254 6259 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6255 6260 customizations there and access them via import.
6256 6261
6257 6262 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6258 6263
6259 6264 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6260 6265
6261 6266 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6262 6267 Nathan and Janko.
6263 6268
6264 6269 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6265 6270
6266 6271 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6267 6272 too long.
6268 6273
6269 6274 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6270 6275
6271 6276 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6272 6277 ?sin and sin?
6273 6278 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6274 6279 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6275 6280 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6276 6281 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6277 6282
6278 6283 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6279 6284
6280 6285 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6281 6286
6282 6287 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6283 6288 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6284 6289
6285 6290 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6286 6291 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6287 6292 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6288 6293 me).
6289 6294
6290 6295 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6291 6296 protected (reasonably).
6292 6297
6293 6298 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6294 6299 note through it (it was too long).
6295 6300
6296 6301 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6297 6302 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6298 6303 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6299 6304 parameters.
6300 6305
6301 6306
6302 6307 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6303 6308
6304 6309 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6305 6310 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6306 6311 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6307 6312
6308 6313 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6309 6314 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6310 6315 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6311 6316
6312 6317 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6313 6318
6314 6319 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6315 6320
6316 6321 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6317 6322
6318 6323 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6319 6324 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6320 6325 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6321 6326 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6322 6327 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6323 6328 break.
6324 6329
6325 6330 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6326 6331 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6327 6332 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6328 6333 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6329 6334 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6330 6335 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6331 6336
6332 6337 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6333 6338 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6334 6339 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6335 6340 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6336 6341 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6337 6342 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6338 6343 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6339 6344 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6340 6345 trick.
6341 6346
6342 6347 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6343 6348 session restoring.
6344 6349
6345 6350 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6346 6351 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6347 6352 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6348 6353 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6349 6354 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6350 6355
6351 6356 * Started ChangeLog.
