1 1 ''' IPython customization API
2 2
3 3 Your one-stop module for configuring & extending ipython
4 4
5 5 The API will probably break when ipython 1.0 is released, but so
6 6 will the other configuration method (rc files).
7 7
8 8 All names prefixed by underscores are for internal use, not part
9 9 of the public api.
10 10
11 11 Below is an example that you can just put to a module and import from ipython.
12 12
13 13 A good practice is to install the config script below as e.g.
14 14
15 15 ~/.ipython/my_private_conf.py
16 16
17 17 And do
18 18
19 19 import_mod my_private_conf
20 20
21 21 in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc
22 22
23 23 That way the module is imported at startup and you can have all your
24 24 personal configuration (as opposed to boilerplate ipythonrc-PROFILENAME
25 25 stuff) in there.

239 239 This utility routine is meant to ease interactive debugging work,
240 240 where you want to easily propagate some internal variable in your code
241 241 up to the interactive namespace for further exploration.
242 242
243 243 When you run code via %run, globals in your script become visible at
244 244 the interactive prompt, but this doesn't happen for locals inside your
245 245 own functions and methods. Yet when debugging, it is common to want
246 246 to explore some internal variables further at the interactive propmt.
247 247
248 248 Examples:
249 249
250 250 To use this, you first must obtain a handle on the ipython object as
251 251 indicated above, via:
252 252
253 253 import IPython.ipapi
254 254 ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
255 255
256 256 Once this is done, inside a routine foo() where you want to expose
257 257 variables x and y, you do the following:
258 258
259 259 def foo():
260 260 ...
261 261 x = your_computation()
262 262 y = something_else()
263 263
264 264 # This pushes x and y to the interactive prompt immediately, even
265 265 # if this routine crashes on the next line after:
266 266 ip.to_user_ns('x y')
267 267 ...
268 268 # return
269 269
270 270 If you need to rename variables, just use ip.user_ns with dict
271 271 and update:
272 272
273 273 # exposes variables 'foo' as 'x' and 'bar' as 'y' in IPython

44 48 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
45 49 every %run call.
46 50
47 51 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
48 52 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
49 53 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
50 54
51 55 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
52 56
53 57 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
54 58 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
55 59 Stefan for the fix.
56 60
57 61 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
58 62 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
59 63 him.
60 64
61 65 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
62 66 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
63 67 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
64 68 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
65 69
66 70 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
67 71 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
68 72 each runcode access.
69 73
70 74 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
71 75 message.
72 76
73 77 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
74 78
75 79 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
76 80 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
77 81 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
78 82
79 83 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
80 84 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
81 85 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
82 86 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
83 87 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
84 88 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
85 89 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
86 90 anything up until we know if it actually works.
87 91
88 92 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
89 93 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
90 94 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
91 95 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
92 96 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
93 97
94 98 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
95 99
96 100 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
97 101 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
98 102 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
99 103
100 104 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
101 105
102 106 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
103 107 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
104 108 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
105 109
106 110 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
107 111
108 112 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
109 113 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
110 114 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
111 115 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
112 116 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
113 117
114 118 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
115 119
116 120 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
117 121 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
118 122
119 123 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
120 124 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
121 125 details in comments left in the code.
122 126
123 127 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
124 128 similar to what we had for Numeric.
125 129
126 130 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
127 131 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
128 132 than readline. Closes #109.
129 133
130 134 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
131 135 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
132 136
133 137 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
134 138
135 139 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
136 140 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
137 141 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
138 142 ongoing Unicode support work.
139 143
140 144 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
141 145 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
142 146 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
143 147 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
144 148
145 149 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
146 150
147 151 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
148 152 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
149 153
150 154 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
151 155
152 156 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
153 157 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
154 158 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
155 159
156 160 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
157 161
158 162 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
159 163 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
160 164 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
161 165 long definition lines for functions.
162 166
163 167 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
164 168
165 169 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
166 170 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
167 171 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
168 172 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
169 173
170 174 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
171 175
172 176 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
173 177
174 178 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
175 179
176 180 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
177 181 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
178 182 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
179 183
180 184 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
181 185 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
182 186
183 187 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
184 188 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
185 189
186 190 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
187 191
188 192 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
189 193 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
190 194 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
191 195
192 196 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
193 197
194 198 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
195 199 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
196 200
197 201 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
198 202 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
199 203 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
200 204 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
201 205 sometimes return "" as last element.
202 206
203 207 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
204 208
205 209 * IPython/completer.py
206 210 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
207 211 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
208 212 would be completed too early.
209 213
210 214 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
211 215 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
212 216 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
213 217 backwards compatibility.
214 218
215 219 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
216 220 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
217 221 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
218 222 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
219 223 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
220 224 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
221 225 also works when debugging.
222 226
223 227 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
224 228 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
225 229
226 230 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
227 231 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
228 232 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
229 233
230 234 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
231 235 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
232 236 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
233 237
234 238 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
235 239 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
236 240
237 241 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
238 242
239 243 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
240 244 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
241 245 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
242 246
243 247 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
244 248
245 249 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
246 250 to be installed alongside igrid.
247 251 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
248 252 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
249 253 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
250 254
251 255 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
252 256
253 257 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
254 258 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
255 259 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
256 260
257 261 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
258 262
259 263 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
260 264 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
261 265
262 266 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
263 267 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
264 268
265 269 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
266 270
267 271 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
268 272 as the default browser.
269 273 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
270 274 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
271 275 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
272 276 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
273 277
274 278 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
275 279
276 280 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
277 281 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
278 282 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
279 283
280 284 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
281 285
282 286 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
283 287 Close help window if exiting igrid.
284 288
285 289 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
286 290
287 291 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
288 292 before calling functions from readline.
289 293
290 294 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
291 295
292 296 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
293 297 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
294 298 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
295 299 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
296 300 falls back to idump.
297 301
298 302 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
299 303
300 304 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
301 305 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
302 306 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
303 307 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
304 308
305 309 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
306 310
307 311 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
308 312 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
309 313 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
310 314 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
311 315 %magic with explicit % prefix.
312 316
313 317 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
314 318
315 319 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
316 320 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
317 321
318 322 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
319 323
320 324 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
321 325 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
322 326 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
323 327 one wants those instead.
324 328
325 329 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
326 330 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
327 331 instead.
328 332
329 333 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
330 334
331 335 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
332 336 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
333 337 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
334 338 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
335 339
336 340 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
337 341
338 342 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
339 343 stop marks.
340 344 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
341 345 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
342 346 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
343 347
344 348 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
345 349
346 350 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
347 351 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
348 352 sumbmitted to upstream.
349 353
350 354 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
351 355
352 356 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
353 357 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
354 358 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
355 359 running into an empty levels list later.
356 360
357 361 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
358 362
359 363 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
360 364 for the noitem object.
361 365
362 366 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
363 367
364 368 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
365 369 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
366 370 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
367 371 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
368 372
369 373 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
370 374
371 375 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
372 376 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
373 377 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
374 378 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
375 379 filenames.
376 380
377 381 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
378 382 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
379 383 out-of-process ipython code.
380 384
381 385 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
382 386 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
383 387 doctesting.
384 388
385 389 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
386 390
387 391 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
388 392
389 393 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
390 394 not being correctly recognized.
391 395
392 396 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
393 397
394 398 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
395 399 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
396 400 only item.
397 401
398 402 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
399 403 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
400 404 infinite recursion for one line strings).
401 405
402 406 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
403 407
404 408 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
405 409 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
406 410 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
407 411
408 412 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
409 413
410 414 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
411 415 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
412 416 "%env VISUAL=jed".
413 417
414 418 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
415 419
416 420 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
417 421 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
418 422 but I'm not exactly sure why).
419 423
420 424 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
421 425 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
422 426
423 427 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
424 428
425 429 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
426 430 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
427 431
428 432 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
429 433 the time during IPython startup is spent.
430 434
431 435 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
432 436
433 437 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
434 438
435 439 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
436 440
437 441 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
438 442
439 443 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
440 444
441 445 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
442 446 to work properly on posix too
443 447
444 448 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
445 449
446 450 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
447 451
448 452 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
449 453 prefix + "/scripts".
450 454
451 455 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
452 456
453 457 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
454 458
455 459 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
456 460 if they already exist
457 461
458 462 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
459 463
460 464 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
461 465
462 466 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
463 467
464 468 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
465 469
466 470 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
467 471 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
468 472 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
469 473
470 474 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
471 475
472 476 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
473 477 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
474 478 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
475 479
476 480 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
477 481 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
478 482 in ipy_user_conf.py
479 483
480 484
481 485 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
482 486 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
483 487 as IPython script.
484 488
485 489 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
486 490
487 491 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
488 492
489 493 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
490 494 is called before any exception has occurred.
491 495
492 496 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
493 497
494 498 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
495 499 to translate /'s to \'s again.
496 500
497 501 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
498 502 backslash.
499 503
500 504 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
501 505
502 506 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
503 507
504 508 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
505 509 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
506 510 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
507 511
508 512 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
509 513 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
510 514
511 515 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
512 516 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
513 517
514 518 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
515 519
516 520 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
517 521
518 522 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
519 523 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
520 524
521 525 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
522 526 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
523 527 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
524 528 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
525 529 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
526 530 mapped to "%" now.
527 531 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
528 532
529 533 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
530 534
531 535 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
532 536 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
533 537 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
534 538 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
535 539
536 540 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
537 541
538 542 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
539 543 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
540 544 for shell escapes.
541 545
542 546 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
543 547
544 548 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
545 549 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
546 550 vcs_completer.
547 551
548 552 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
549 553
550 554 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
551 555 directly instead!
552 556
553 557 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
554 558
555 559 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
556 560 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
557 561
558 562 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
559 563 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
560 564 explicit.
561 565
562 566 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
563 567 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
564 568
565 569 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
566 570
567 571 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
568 572
569 573 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
570 574 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
571 575 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
572 576 implementation for Text is useless.
573 577
574 578 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
575 579
576 580 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
577 581
578 582 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 583
580 584 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
581 585 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
582 586 "profile"
583 587
584 588 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 589
586 590 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
587 591 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
588 592
589 593 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
590 594 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
591 595
592 596
593 597 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
594 598 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
595 599 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
596 600
597 601 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
598 602
599 603 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
600 604 with one from UserConfig.
601 605
602 606 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
603 607 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
604 608
605 609 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
606 610 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
607 611 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
608 612
609 613 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
610 614
611 615 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
612 616
613 617 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
614 618
615 619 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
616 620
617 621 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
618 622
619 623 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
620 624
621 625 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
622 626
623 627 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
624 628
625 629 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
626 630 by eval of expr with dots.
627 631
628 632 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
629 633
630 634 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
631 635 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
632 636 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
633 637 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
634 638 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
635 639 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
636 640
637 641 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
638 642
639 643 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
640 644 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
641 645 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
642 646
643 647 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
644 648 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
645 649 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
646 650 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
647 651 funtionality in ipconfig.
648 652
649 653 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
650 654 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
651 655 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
652 656 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
653 657
654 658 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
655 659
656 660 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
657 661 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
658 662 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
659 663 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
660 664 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
661 665 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
662 666 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
663 667 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
664 668 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
665 669 descriptors.
666 670
667 671 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
668 672 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
669 673
670 674 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
671 675 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
672 676
673 677 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
674 678
675 679 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
676 680
677 681 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
678 682
679 683 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
680 684 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
681 685 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
682 686
683 687 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
684 688 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
685 689 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
686 690
687 691 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
688 692 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
689 693 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
690 694 ipy_stock_completers.
691 695
692 696 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
693 697
694 698 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
695 699
696 700 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
697 701 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
698 702 when filtering possible completions.
699 703
700 704 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
701 705
702 706 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
703 707 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
704 708 function
705 709
706 710
707 711 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
708 712
709 713 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
710 714 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
711 715 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
712 716 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
713 717 SVN completer.
714 718
715 719 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
716 720 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
717 721 name is %led.
718 722
719 723 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
720 724
721 725 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
722 726 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
723 727 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
724 728
725 729 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
726 730 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
727 731 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
728 732 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
729 733 hook name is 'complete_command'.
730 734
731 735 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
732 736
733 737 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
734 738 Numeric leftovers.
735 739
736 740 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
737 741 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
738 742
739 743 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
740 744 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
741 745
742 746 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
743 747 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
744 748
745 749 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
746 750 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
747 751 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
748 752
749 753 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
750 754
751 755 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
752 756 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
753 757 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
754 758
755 759 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
756 760 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
757 761
758 762 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
759 763
760 764 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
761 765 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
762 766 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
763 767
764 768 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
765 769
766 770 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
767 771 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
768 772 internal crash handler.
769 773
770 774 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
771 775 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
772 776 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
773 777 at the request of SAGE.
774 778
775 779 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
776 780
777 781 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
778 782 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
779 783
780 784 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
781 785 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
782 786 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
783 787 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
784 788
785 789 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
786 790 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
787 791 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
788 792
789 793 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
790 794
791 795 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
792 796 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
793 797 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
794 798
795 799 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
796 800 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
797 801
798 802 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
799 803
800 804 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
801 805 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
802 806 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
803 807 Stefan.
804 808
805 809 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
806 810
807 811 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
808 812 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
809 813 sys.stdout.close().
810 814
811 815 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
812 816
813 817 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
814 818 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
815 819 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
816 820 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
817 821
818 822 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
819 823 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
820 824 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
821 825
822 826 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
823 827 2.5.
824 828
825 829 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
826 830 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
827 831 interactively.
828 832
829 833 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
830 834
831 835 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
832 836 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
833 837
834 838 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
835 839
836 840 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
837 841 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
838 842 or only files.
839 843
840 844 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
841 845
842 846 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
843 847 they broke unittest
844 848
845 849 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
846 850
847 851 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
848 852 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
849 853 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
850 854 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
851 855
852 856 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
853 857
854 858 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
855 859 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
856 860 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
857 861 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
858 862 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
859 863
860 864 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
861 865
862 866 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
863 867 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
864 868
865 869 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
866 870
867 871 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
868 872 the mode argument).
869 873
870 874 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
871 875
872 876 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
873 877 not running under IPython.
874 878
875 879 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
876 880 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
877 881 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
878 882 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
879 883 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
880 884 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
881 885 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
882 886 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
883 887 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
884 888 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
885 889 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
886 890 are still supported.
887 891
888 892 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
889 893 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
890 894 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
891 895 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
892 896
893 897 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
894 898 encoding into methods.
895 899
896 900 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
897 901
898 902 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
899 903 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
900 904
901 905 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
902 906
903 907 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
904 908 non existing attributes.
905 909
906 910 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
907 911
908 912 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
909 913 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
910 914
911 915 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
912 916
913 917 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
914 918 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
915 919
916 920 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
917 921
918 922 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
919 923 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
920 924 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
921 925
922 926 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
923 927
924 928 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
925 929 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
926 930 Stefan van der Walt.
927 931
928 932 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
929 933
930 934 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
931 935 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
932 936
933 937 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
934 938
935 939 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
936 940 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
937 941 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
938 942
939 943 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
940 944
941 945 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
942 946 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
943 947 attributes.
944 948
945 949 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
946 950
947 951 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
948 952 commands into the methods implementing them.
949 953
950 954 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
951 955
952 956 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
953 957 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
954 958 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
955 959
956 960 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
957 961
958 962 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
959 963 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
960 964
961 965 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
962 966
963 967 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
964 968 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
965 969
966 970 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
967 971
968 972 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
969 973 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
970 974 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
971 975 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
972 976 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
973 977 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
974 978 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
975 979 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
976 980 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
977 981 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
978 982 the x key to "delete".
979 983
980 984 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
981 985
982 986 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
983 987 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
984 988 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
985 989 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
986 990
987 991 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
988 992 prompt
989 993
990 994 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
991 995
992 996 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
993 997
994 998 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
995 999 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
996 1000 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
997 1001 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
998 1002
999 1003 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1000 1004
1001 1005 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1002 1006 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1003 1007 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1004 1008 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1005 1009 doesn't work properly yet.
1006 1010
1007 1011 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1008 1012
1009 1013 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1010 1014 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1011 1015 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1012 1016
1013 1017 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1014 1018
1015 1019 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1016 1020 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1017 1021 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1018 1022 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1019 1023 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1020 1024 execute commands.
1021 1025
1022 1026 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1023 1027
1024 1028 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1025 1029 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1026 1030
1027 1031 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1028 1032
1029 1033 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1030 1034 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1031 1035
1032 1036 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1033 1037
1034 1038 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1035 1039 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1036 1040 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1037 1041
1038 1042 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1039 1043
1040 1044 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1041 1045
1042 1046 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1043 1047 Repo tagged and release cut.
1044 1048
1045 1049 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1046 1050
1047 1051 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1048 1052 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1049 1053
1050 1054 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1051 1055 (for %upgrade)
1052 1056
1053 1057 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1054 1058
1055 1059 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1056 1060 instead of looping 20 times.
1057 1061
1058 1062 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1059 1063 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1060 1064 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1061 1065
1062 1066 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1063 1067 testing for release on 06/06.
1064 1068
1065 1069 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1066 1070
1067 1071 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1068 1072 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1069 1073 live in people's PATH.
1070 1074
1071 1075 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1072 1076 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1073 1077 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1074 1078 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1075 1079 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1076 1080
1077 1081 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1078 1082 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1079 1083
1080 1084 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1081 1085
1082 1086 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1083 1087 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1084 1088
1085 1089 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1086 1090
1087 1091 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1088 1092 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1089 1093 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1090 1094
1091 1095 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1092 1096
1093 1097 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1094 1098 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1095 1099 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1096 1100 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1097 1101
1098 1102 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1099 1103 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1100 1104 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1101 1105 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1102 1106
1103 1107 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1104 1108 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1105 1109 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1106 1110 work.
1107 1111
1108 1112 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1109 1113
1110 1114 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1111 1115 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1112 1116
1113 1117 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1114 1118 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1115 1119 author William Stein.
1116 1120
1117 1121 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1118 1122 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1119 1123 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1120 1124 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1121 1125 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1122 1126 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1123 1127 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1124 1128 objects more easily.
1125 1129
1126 1130 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1127 1131
1128 1132 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1129 1133 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1130 1134 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1131 1135 by Jeffrey Collins.
1132 1136
1133 1137 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1134 1138 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1135 1139 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1136 1140 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1137 1141
1138 1142 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1139 1143 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1140 1144 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1141 1145 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1142 1146
1143 1147 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1144 1148 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1145 1149 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1146 1150 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1147 1151 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1148 1152 compatibility)
1149 1153
1150 1154 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1151 1155 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1152 1156 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1153 1157
1154 1158 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1155 1159 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1156 1160 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1157 1161 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1158 1162 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1159 1163
1160 1164 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1161 1165 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1162 1166 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1163 1167
1164 1168 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1165 1169 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1166 1170 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1167 1171 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1168 1172 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1169 1173 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1170 1174 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1171 1175
1172 1176 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1173 1177 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1174 1178 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1175 1179
1176 1180 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1177 1181 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1178 1182 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1179 1183
1180 1184 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1181 1185 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1182 1186
1183 1187 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1184 1188
1185 1189 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1186 1190 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1187 1191 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1188 1192 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1189 1193 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1190 1194 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1191 1195 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1192 1196 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1193 1197 while running under SAGE.
1194 1198
1195 1199 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1196 1200
1197 1201 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1198 1202 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1199 1203 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1200 1204 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).

1202 1206 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1203 1207
1204 1208 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1205 1209 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1206 1210 updated.
1207 1211
1208 1212 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1209 1213 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1210 1214 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1211 1215 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1212 1216 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1213 1217
1214 1218 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1215 1219 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1216 1220 so more testing is needed...
1217 1221
1218 1222 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1219 1223
1220 1224 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1221 1225 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1222 1226 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1223 1227 when doing complex debugging.
1224 1228 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1225 1229 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1226 1230 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1227 1231 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1228 1232
1229 1233 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1230 1234
1231 1235 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1232 1236 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1233 1237 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1234 1238 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1235 1239
1236 1240 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1237 1241
1238 1242 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1239 1243 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1240 1244
1241 1245 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1242 1246
1243 1247 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1244 1248 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1245 1249 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1246 1250 been the one to acquire it.
1247 1251
1248 1252 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1249 1253
1250 1254 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1251 1255
1252 1256 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1253 1257
1254 1258 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1255 1259 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1256 1260 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1257 1261
1258 1262 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1259 1263 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1260 1264 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1261 1265 properly flush the output cache.
1262 1266
1263 1267 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1264 1268 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1265 1269
1266 1270 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1267 1271
1268 1272 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1269 1273 are quoted
1270 1274
1271 1275 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1272 1276
1273 1277 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1274 1278 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1275 1279
1276 1280 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1277 1281 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1278 1282
1279 1283 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1280 1284
1281 1285 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1282 1286 %upgrade magic
1283 1287
1284 1288 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1285 1289
1286 1290 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1287 1291 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1288 1292 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1289 1293
1290 1294 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1291 1295
1292 1296 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1293 1297 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1294 1298
1295 1299 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1296 1300 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1297 1301 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1298 1302 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1299 1303 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1300 1304
1301 1305 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1302 1306
1303 1307 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1304 1308 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1305 1309
1306 1310 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1307 1311
1308 1312 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1309 1313 Torsten Marek.
1310 1314
1311 1315 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1312 1316
1313 1317 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1314 1318 line ranges works again.
1315 1319
1316 1320 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1317 1321
1318 1322 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1319 1323 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1320 1324 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1321 1325 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1322 1326 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1323 1327
1324 1328 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1325 1329 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1326 1330 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1327 1331 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1328 1332 more.
1329 1333
1330 1334 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1331 1335
1332 1336 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1333 1337 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1334 1338
1335 1339 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1336 1340
1337 1341 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1338 1342 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1339 1343
1340 1344 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1341 1345
1342 1346 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1343 1347
1344 1348 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1345 1349
1346 1350 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1347 1351
1348 1352 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1349 1353 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1350 1354 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1351 1355
1352 1356 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1353 1357
1354 1358 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1355 1359 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1356 1360 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1357 1361 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1358 1362
1359 1363 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1360 1364 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1361 1365
1362 1366 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1363 1367 contributed by marienz to close
1364 1368 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1365 1369
1366 1370 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1367 1371
1368 1372 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1369 1373
1370 1374 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1371 1375 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1372 1376 nonsense.
1373 1377
1374 1378 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1375 1379
1376 1380 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1377 1381 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1378 1382
1379 1383 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1380 1384
1381 1385 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1382 1386
1383 1387 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1384 1388 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1385 1389
1386 1390 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1387 1391
1388 1392 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1389 1393 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1390 1394 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1391 1395 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1392 1396 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1393 1397 SAGE team.
1394 1398 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1395 1399 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1396 1400
1397 1401 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1398 1402 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1399 1403 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1400 1404 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1401 1405 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1402 1406
1403 1407 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1408
1405 1409 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1406 1410 correctly now (on Linux)
1407 1411
1408 1412 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1409 1413 warnings
1410 1414
1411 1415 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1412 1416
1413 1417 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1414 1418
1415 1419
1416 1420 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1417 1421
1418 1422 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1419 1423 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1420 1424 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1421 1425 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1422 1426 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1423 1427 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1424 1428 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1425 1429 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1426 1430
1427 1431 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1428 1432
1429 1433 * aliases can now be %store'd
1430 1434
1431 1435 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1432 1436 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1433 1437 at __init__.
1434 1438
1435 1439 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1436 1440 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1437 1441
1438 1442 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1439 1443
1440 1444 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1441 1445 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1442 1446 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1443 1447
1444 1448 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1445 1449
1446 1450 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1447 1451
1448 1452 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1449 1453
1450 1454 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1451 1455 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1452 1456 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1453 1457 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1454 1458
1455 1459 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1456 1460 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1457 1461
1458 1462 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1459 1463
1460 1464 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1461 1465 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1462 1466 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1463 1467 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1464 1468
1465 1469 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1466 1470 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1467 1471 usage.
1468 1472
1469 1473 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1470 1474 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1471 1475 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1472 1476
1473 1477 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1474 1478
1475 1479 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1476 1480 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1477 1481
1478 1482 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1479 1483 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1480 1484 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1481 1485
1482 1486 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1483 1487
1484 1488 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1485 1489
1486 1490 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1487 1491
1488 1492 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1489 1493 are now more helpful:
1490 1494 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1491 1495
1492 1496 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1493 1497
1494 1498 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1495 1499 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1496 1500
1497 1501 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1498 1502
1499 1503 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1500 1504 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1501 1505
1502 1506 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1503 1507 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1504 1508 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1505 1509
1506 1510 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1507 1511
1508 1512
1509 1513 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1510 1514
1511 1515 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1512 1516 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1513 1517
1514 1518 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1515 1519
1516 1520 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1517 1521 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1518 1522 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1519 1523 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1520 1524 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1521 1525 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1522 1526
1523 1527 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1524 1528
1525 1529 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1526 1530 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1527 1531 \python24\scripts).
1528 1532
1529 1533 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1530 1534 egg.
1531 1535
1532 1536 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1533 1537
1534 1538 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1535 1539
1536 1540 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1537 1541
1538 1542 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1539 1543
1540 1544 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1541 1545
1542 1546 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1543 1547 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1544 1548 \python24\scripts).
1545 1549
1546 1550 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1547 1551 egg.
1548 1552
1549 1553 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1550 1554
1551 1555 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1552 1556 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1553 1557 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1554 1558
1555 1559 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1556 1560 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1557 1561 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1558 1562 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1559 1563
1560 1564 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1561 1565 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1562 1566 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1563 1567 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1564 1568 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1565 1569 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1566 1570 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1567 1571 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1568 1572 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1569 1573 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1570 1574 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1571 1575 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.

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

2272 2276 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2273 2277 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2274 2278 simpler and a bit faster.
2275 2279
2276 2280 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2277 2281 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2278 2282 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2279 2283 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2280 2284 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2281 2285
2282 2286 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2283 2287 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2284 2288 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2285 2289
2286 2290 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2287 2291 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2288 2292
2289 2293 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2290 2294 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2291 2295 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2292 2296 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2293 2297 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2294 2298 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2295 2299 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2296 2300
2297 2301 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2298 2302
2299 2303 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2300 2304
2301 2305 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2302 2306
2303 2307 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2304 2308 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2305 2309
2306 2310 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2307 2311
2308 2312 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2309 2313 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2310 2314 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2311 2315 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2312 2316 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2313 2317 for the contribution.
2314 2318
2315 2319 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2316 2320 slightly modified version of the patch in
2317 2321 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2318 2322 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2319 2323 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2320 2324
2321 2325 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2322 2326
2323 2327 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2324 2328 I/O a bit more.
2325 2329
2326 2330 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2327 2331 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2328 2332
2329 2333 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2330 2334
2331 2335 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2332 2336
2333 2337 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2334 2338 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2335 2339 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2336 2340 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2337 2341
2338 2342 readline_remove_delims -/~
2339 2343
2340 2344
2341 2345 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2342 2346
2343 2347 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2344 2348
2345 2349 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2346 2350 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2347 2351 <eli@gondolin.net>
2348 2352
2349 2353 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2350 2354
2351 2355 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2352 2356 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2353 2357
2354 2358 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2355 2359
2356 2360 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2357 2361 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2358 2362 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2359 2363
2360 2364 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2361 2365
2362 2366 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2363 2367 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2364 2368
2365 2369 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2366 2370
2367 2371 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2368 2372 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2369 2373
2370 2374 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2371 2375 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2372 2376 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2373 2377 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2374 2378 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2375 2379 for more details.
2376 2380
2377 2381 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2378 2382 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2379 2383 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2380 2384 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2381 2385
2382 2386 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2383 2387
2384 2388 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2385 2389 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2386 2390 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2387 2391 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2388 2392 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2389 2393
2390 2394 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2391 2395 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2392 2396 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2393 2397
2394 2398 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2399
2396 2400 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2397 2401
2398 2402 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2399 2403
2400 2404 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2401 2405 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2402 2406 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2403 2407 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2404 2408 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2405 2409
2406 2410 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2407 2411
2408 2412 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2409 2413
2410 2414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2411 2415 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2412 2416 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2413 2417 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2414 2418 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2415 2419
2416 2420 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2417 2421 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2418 2422 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2419 2423 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2420 2424 take the text parameter.
2421 2425
2422 2426 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2423 2427 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2424 2428 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2425 2429 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2426 2430 pysh profile to include the line
2427 2431
2428 2432 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2429 2433
2430 2434 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2431 2435 delete pysh.py and the line
2432 2436
2433 2437 execfile pysh.py
2434 2438
2435 2439 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2436 2440
2437 2441 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2438 2442 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2439 2443 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2440 2444 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2441 2445 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2442 2446
2443 2447 * pysh.py:
2444 2448
2445 2449 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2446 2450
2447 2451 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2448 2452 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2449 2453 want it can still turn it off.
2450 2454
2451 2455 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2452 2456 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2453 2457 off by default.
2454 2458
2455 2459 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2456 2460 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2457 2461 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2458 2462 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2459 2463 calls.
2460 2464
2461 2465 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2462 2466
2463 2467 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2464 2468 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2465 2469 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2466 2470
2467 2471 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2468 2472
2469 2473 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2470 2474 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2471 2475 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2472 2476 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2473 2477
2474 2478 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2475 2479 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2476 2480 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2477 2481 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2478 2482
2479 2483 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2480 2484
2481 2485 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2482 2486 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2483 2487
2484 2488 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2485 2489 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2486 2490 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2487 2491 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2488 2492 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2489 2493 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2490 2494 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2491 2495 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2492 2496
2493 2497 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2494 2498
2495 2499 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2496 2500 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2497 2501 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2498 2502 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2499 2503 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2500 2504 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2501 2505 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2502 2506 add new completers at runtime.
2503 2507
2504 2508 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2505 2509
2506 2510 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2507 2511 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2508 2512 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2509 2513 ? system.
2510 2514
2511 2515 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2512 2516 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2513 2517 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2514 2518 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2515 2519 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2516 2520 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2517 2521 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2518 2522 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2519 2523
2520 2524 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2521 2525
2522 2526 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2523 2527 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2524 2528 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2525 2529 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2526 2530 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2527 2531
2528 2532 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2529 2533 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2530 2534 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2531 2535 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2532 2536 add:
2533 2537
2534 2538 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2535 2539 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2536 2540
2537 2541 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2538 2542
2539 2543 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2540 2544 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2541 2545 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2542 2546 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2543 2547
2544 2548 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2545 2549 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2546 2550 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2547 2551 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2548 2552 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2549 2553 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2550 2554 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2551 2555 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2552 2556 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2553 2557
2554 2558 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2555 2559
2556 2560 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2557 2561 prompt namespace handling.
2558 2562
2559 2563 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2560 2564
2561 2565 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2562 2566 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2563 2567 trips the emacs python mode).
2564 2568 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2565 2569 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2566 2570 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2567 2571 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2568 2572 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2569 2573 calls will be made at runtime.
2570 2574
2571 2575 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2572 2576
2573 2577 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2574 2578 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2575 2579 the call to %history.
2576 2580
2577 2581 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2578 2582
2579 2583 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2580 2584
2581 2585 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2582 2586 ipmagic() function calls.
2583 2587
2584 2588 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2585 2589 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2586 2590
2587 2591 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2588 2592
2589 2593 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2590 2594 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2591 2595 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2592 2596 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2593 2597 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2594 2598 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2595 2599 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2596 2600 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2597 2601
2598 2602 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2599 2603
2600 2604 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2601 2605 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2602 2606 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2603 2607 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2604 2608 Ville Vainio.
2605 2609
2606 2610 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2607 2611
2608 2612 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2609 2613 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2610 2614 define the ones they personally like.
2611 2615
2612 2616 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2613 2617
2614 2618 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2615 2619 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2616 2620
2617 2621 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2618 2622
2619 2623 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2620 2624 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2621 2625
2622 2626 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2623 2627 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2624 2628 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2625 2629 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2626 2630 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2627 2631 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2628 2632 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2629 2633 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2630 2634
2631 2635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2632 2636 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2633 2637 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2634 2638 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2635 2639 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2637 2641 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2638 2642
2639 2643 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2640 2644 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2641 2645 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2642 2646
2643 2647 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2644 2648 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2645 2649 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2646 2650
2647 2651 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2648 2652
2649 2653 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2650 2654
2651 2655 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2652 2656 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2653 2657 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2654 2658 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2655 2659 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2656 2660 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2657 2661 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2658 2662 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2659 2663 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2660 2664 system is a separate implementation).
2661 2665
2662 2666 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2663 2667 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2664 2668 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2665 2669 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2666 2670 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2667 2671 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2668 2672 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2669 2673 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2670 2674 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2671 2675 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2672 2676 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2673 2677
2674 2678 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2675 2679
2676 2680 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2677 2681 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2678 2682 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2679 2683 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2680 2684 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2681 2685 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2682 2686 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2683 2687 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2684 2688
2685 2689 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2686 2690
2687 2691 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2688 2692 previous call produced a syntax error.
2689 2693
2690 2694 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2691 2695 classes without constructor.
2692 2696
2693 2697 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2694 2698
2695 2699 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2696 2700 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2697 2701 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2698 2702 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2699 2703 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2700 2704 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2701 2705 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2702 2706
2703 2707 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2708
2705 2709 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2706 2710 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2707 2711
2708 2712 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2709 2713
2710 2714 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2711 2715 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2712 2716 optimizations.
2713 2717
2714 2718 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2715 2719 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2716 2720
2717 2721 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2718 2722
2719 2723 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2720 2724 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2721 2725 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2722 2726 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2723 2727 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2724 2728 avoid annoying the lists further.
2725 2729
2726 2730 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2727 2731
2728 2732 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2729 2733
2730 2734 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2731 2735 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2732 2736 norm definitions.
2733 2737 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2734 2738 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2735 2739 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2736 2740
2737 2741 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2738 2742 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2739 2743 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2740 2744 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2741 2745 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2742 2746
2743 2747 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2744 2748 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2745 2749 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2746 2750 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2747 2751
2748 2752 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2749 2753 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2750 2754 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2751 2755 fixes.
2752 2756
2753 2757 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2754 2758 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2755 2759 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2756 2760 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2757 2761 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2758 2762 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2759 2763 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2760 2764
2761 2765 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2762 2766
2763 2767 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2764 2768
2765 2769 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2766 2770 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2767 2771 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2768 2772 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2769 2773 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2770 2774 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2771 2775 Panel.
2772 2776
2773 2777 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2774 2778 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2775 2779 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2776 2780 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2777 2781 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2778 2782
2779 2783 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2780 2784
2781 2785 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2782 2786 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2783 2787
2784 2788 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2785 2789
2786 2790 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2787 2791
2788 2792 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2789 2793 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2790 2794 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2791 2795 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2792 2796 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2793 2797 python shell.
2794 2798
2795 2799 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2796 2800 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2797 2801 on assignments. This closes
2798 2802 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2799 2803 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2800 2804 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2801 2805
2802 2806 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2803 2807
2804 2808 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2805 2809 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2806 2810
2807 2811 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2808 2812
2809 2813 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2810 2814
2811 2815 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2812 2816 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2813 2817
2814 2818 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2815 2819
2816 2820 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2817 2821 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2818 2822 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2819 2823
2820 2824 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2821 2825
2822 2826 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2823 2827 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2824 2828 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2825 2829
2826 2830 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2827 2831
2828 2832 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2829 2833 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2830 2834 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2831 2835
2832 2836 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2833 2837 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2834 2838 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2835 2839
2836 2840 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2837 2841
2838 2842 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2839 2843 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2840 2844
2841 2845 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2842 2846
2843 2847 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2844 2848 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2845 2849 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2846 2850
2847 2851 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2848 2852
2849 2853 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2850 2854 reported by Prabhu.
2851 2855 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2852 2856 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2853 2857 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2854 2858
2855 2859 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2856 2860 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2857 2861
2858 2862 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2859 2863 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2860 2864 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2861 2865 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2862 2866 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2863 2867 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2864 2868
2865 2869 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2866 2870
2867 2871 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2868 2872
2869 2873 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2870 2874 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2871 2875 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2872 2876 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2873 2877
2874 2878 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2875 2879 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2876 2880
2877 2881 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2878 2882 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2879 2883 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2880 2884 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2881 2885 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2882 2886 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2883 2887 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2884 2888
2885 2889 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2886 2890 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2887 2891 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2888 2892
2889 2893 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2890 2894 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2891 2895 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2892 2896 before.
2893 2897
2894 2898 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2895 2899
2896 2900 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2897 2901 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2898 2902 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2899 2903 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2900 2904
2901 2905 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2902 2906 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2903 2907 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2904 2908 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2905 2909 timing very short-running code.
2906 2910
2907 2911 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2908 2912 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2909 2913 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2910 2914 utility.
2911 2915
2912 2916 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2913 2917 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2914 2918 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2915 2919 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2916 2920 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2917 2921 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2918 2922 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2919 2923 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2920 2924
2921 2925 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2922 2926 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2923 2927 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2924 2928
2925 2929 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2926 2930 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2927 2931 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2928 2932 is for).
2929 2933
2930 2934 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2931 2935 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2932 2936 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2933 2937 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2934 2938 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2935 2939
2936 2940 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2937 2941
2938 2942 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2939 2943 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2940 2944 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2941 2945 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2942 2946 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2943 2947
2944 2948 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2945 2949 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2946 2950 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2947 2951 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2948 2952 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2949 2953 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2950 2954
2951 2955 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2952 2956
2953 2957 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2954 2958 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2955 2959
2956 2960 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2957 2961
2958 2962 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2959 2963 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2960 2964 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2961 2965 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2962 2966

2965 2969 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2970
2967 2971 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2968 2972 setting with -d option.
2969 2973
2970 2974 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2971 2975 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2972 2976 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2973 2977 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2974 2978
2975 2979 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2976 2980
2977 2981 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2978 2982 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2979 2983
2980 2984 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2981 2985 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2982 2986 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2983 2987 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2984 2988 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2985 2989 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2986 2990 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2987 2991 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2988 2992 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2989 2993 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2990 2994 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2991 2995
2992 2996 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2993 2997
2994 2998 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2995 2999 cache when empty lines were present.
2996 3000
2997 3001 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2998 3002
2999 3003 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3000 3004 options for WX and GTK.
3001 3005
3002 3006 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3003 3007
3004 3008 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3005 3009 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3006 3010 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3007 3011 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3008 3012 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3009 3013 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3010 3014 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3011 3015
3012 3016 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3013 3017 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3014 3018
3015 3019 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3016 3020
3017 3021 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3018 3022 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3019 3023 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3020 3024 many thanks.
3021 3025
3022 3026 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3023 3027 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3024 3028 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3025 3029
3026 3030 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3027 3031
3028 3032 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3029 3033 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3030 3034 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3031 3035
3032 3036 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3033 3037
3034 3038 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3035 3039
3036 3040 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3037 3041 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3038 3042 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3039 3043
3040 3044 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3041 3045
3042 3046 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3043 3047 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3044 3048
3045 3049 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3046 3050
3047 3051 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3048 3052 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3049 3053 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3050 3054 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3051 3055 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3052 3056 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3053 3057 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3054 3058
3055 3059 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3056 3060
3057 3061 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3058 3062 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3059 3063 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3060 3064 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3061 3065
3062 3066 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3063 3067 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3064 3068
3065 3069 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3066 3070
3067 3071 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3068 3072 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3069 3073
3070 3074 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3071 3075 use throughout ipython.
3072 3076
3073 3077 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3074 3078 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3075 3079
3076 3080 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3077 3081 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3078 3082 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3079 3083 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3080 3084
3081 3085 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3082 3086
3083 3087 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3084 3088 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3085 3089 report by Francesc Alted.
3086 3090
3087 3091 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3088 3092
3089 3093 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3090 3094 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3091 3095
3092 3096 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3093 3097
3094 3098 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3095 3099 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3096 3100 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3097 3101 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3098 3102 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3099 3103 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3100 3104 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3101 3105 correctly set.
3102 3106
3103 3107 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3104 3108
3105 3109 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3106 3110 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3107 3111 import requirement of PEP-328.
3108 3112
3109 3113 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3110 3114 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3111 3115 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3112 3116 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3113 3117
3114 3118 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3115 3119
3116 3120 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3117 3121
3118 3122 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3119 3123 via a normal python function call.
3120 3124
3121 3125 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3122 3126 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3123 3127 2.4.
3124 3128
3125 3129 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3126 3130
3127 3131 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3128 3132 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3129 3133 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3130 3134 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3131 3135 is given to the user).
3132 3136
3133 3137 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3134 3138
3135 3139 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3136 3140 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3137 3141 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3138 3142 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3139 3143
3140 3144 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3141 3145 python 2.2.
3142 3146
3143 3147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3144 3148 banner arg for embedded customization.
3145 3149
3146 3150 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3147 3151 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3148 3152 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3149 3153 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3150 3154 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3151 3155 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3152 3156
3153 3157 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3154 3158 minor changes to debian dir.
3155 3159
3156 3160 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3157 3161 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3158 3162 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3159 3163 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3160 3164
3161 3165 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3162 3166
3163 3167 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3164 3168 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3165 3169 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3166 3170 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3167 3171 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3168 3172
3169 3173 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3170 3174
3171 3175 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3172 3176 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3173 3177
3174 3178 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3175 3179
3176 3180 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3177 3181 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3178 3182
3179 3183 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3180 3184
3181 3185 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3182 3186
3183 3187 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3184 3188 updated.
3185 3189
3186 3190 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3187 3191
3188 3192 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3189 3193 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3190 3194 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3191 3195 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3192 3196 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3193 3197
3194 3198 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3195 3199 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3196 3200 split regexp. Closes
3197 3201 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3198 3202 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3199 3203 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3200 3204 extensions.
3201 3205
3202 3206 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3203 3207 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3204 3208 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3205 3209 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3206 3210 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3207 3211
3208 3212 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3209 3213 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3210 3214 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3211 3215 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3212 3216
3213 3217 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3214 3218 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3215 3219
3216 3220 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3217 3221 fine-tune banner.
3218 3222
3219 3223 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3220 3224 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3221 3225
3222 3226 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3223 3227
3224 3228 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3225 3229 were missing.
3226 3230
3227 3231 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3228 3232 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3229 3233 valid at the command line.
3230 3234
3231 3235 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3232 3236 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3233 3237
3234 3238 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3235 3239
3236 3240 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3237 3241 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3238 3242 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3239 3243
3240 3244 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3241 3245
3242 3246 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3243 3247 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3244 3248 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3245 3249 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3246 3250 continue to use the standard profiler.
3247 3251
3248 3252 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3253
3250 3254 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3251 3255 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3252 3256 close.
3253 3257
3254 3258 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3255 3259
3256 3260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3257 3261 in Magic and ultraTB.
3258 3262
3259 3263 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3260 3264
3261 3265 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3262 3266 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3263 3267 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3264 3268 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3265 3269
3266 3270 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3267 3271 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3268 3272 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3269 3273 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3270 3274 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3271 3275 infrastructure in place.
3272 3276
3273 3277 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3274 3278
3275 3279 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3276 3280
3277 3281 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3278 3282 the pylab profile.
3279 3283
3280 3284 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3281 3285
3282 3286 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3283 3287
3284 3288 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3285 3289 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3286 3290 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3287 3291 itself.
3288 3292
3289 3293 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3290 3294 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3291 3295 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3292 3296 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3293 3297 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3294 3298 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3295 3299 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3296 3300 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3297 3301
3298 3302 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3299 3303 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3300 3304
3301 3305 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3302 3306
3303 3307 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3304 3308 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3305 3309 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3306 3310
3307 3311 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3308 3312
3309 3313 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3310 3314 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3311 3315
3312 3316 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3313 3317
3314 3318 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3315 3319
3316 3320 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3317 3321
3318 3322 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3319 3323
3320 3324 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3321 3325 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3322 3326 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3323 3327
3324 3328 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3325 3329
3326 3330 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3327 3331 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3328 3332 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3329 3333 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3330 3334 works.
3331 3335
3332 3336 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3333 3337 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3334 3338 practice.
3335 3339
3336 3340 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3337 3341
3338 3342 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3339 3343 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3340 3344 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3341 3345
3342 3346 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3343 3347
3344 3348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3345 3349 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3346 3350 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3347 3351 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3348 3352
3349 3353 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3350 3354
3351 3355 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3352 3356 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3353 3357 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3354 3358 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3355 3359
3356 3360 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3357 3361
3358 3362 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3359 3363
3360 3364 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3361 3365 fail for any number.
3362 3366 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3363 3367 empty bookmarks.
3364 3368
3365 3369 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3366 3370
3367 3371 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3368 3372
3369 3373 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3370 3374
3371 3375 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3372 3376 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3373 3377
3374 3378 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3375 3379 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3376 3380
3377 3381 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3378 3382
3379 3383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3380 3384 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3381 3385 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3382 3386 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3383 3387 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3384 3388
3385 3389 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3386 3390
3387 3391 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3388 3392 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3389 3393
3390 3394 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3391 3395
3392 3396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3393 3397 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3394 3398 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3395 3399 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3396 3400
3397 3401 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3398 3402 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3399 3403 Schmolck.
3400 3404
3401 3405 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3402 3406
3403 3407 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3404 3408
3405 3409 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3406 3410 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3407 3411
3408 3412 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3409 3413 optimizations.
3410 3414
3411 3415 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3412 3416 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3413 3417
3414 3418 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3415 3419 --Started changelog.
3416 3420 --make clear do what it say it does
3417 3421 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3418 3422 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3419 3423 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3420 3424 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3421 3425 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3422 3426 can be done for other cases.
3423 3427 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3424 3428 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3425 3429 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3426 3430
3427 3431 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3428 3432 --added logfile rotation
3429 3433 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3430 3434
3431 3435 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3432 3436 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3433 3437 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3434 3438 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3435 3439 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3436 3440 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3437 3441 --added global logfile option
3438 3442 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3439 3443 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3440 3444
3441 3445 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3442 3446 --added a README
3443 3447 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3444 3448 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3445 3449 bug or feature.
3446 3450 --changed rc file for new behavior
3447 3451
3448 3452 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3449 3453
3450 3454 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3451 3455 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3452 3456 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3453 3457
3454 3458 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3455 3459 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3456 3460
3457 3461 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3458 3462
3459 3463 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3460 3464 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3461 3465 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3462 3466 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3463 3467 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3464 3468 and prepended with a #.
3465 3469
3466 3470 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3467 3471 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3468 3472
3469 3473 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3470 3474
3471 3475 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3472 3476 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3473 3477
3474 3478 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3475 3479
3476 3480 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3477 3481 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3478 3482
3479 3483 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3480 3484
3481 3485 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3482 3486 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3483 3487 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3484 3488
3485 3489 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3486 3490
3487 3491 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3488 3492 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3489 3493
3490 3494 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3491 3495 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3492 3496 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3493 3497 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3494 3498 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3495 3499 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3496 3500 be implemented later).
3497 3501
3498 3502 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3499 3503 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3500 3504 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3501 3505 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3502 3506
3503 3507 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3504 3508 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3505 3509 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3506 3510
3507 3511 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3508 3512 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3509 3513
3510 3514 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3511 3515 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3512 3516 readline make it impossible to go further.
3513 3517
3514 3518 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3519
3516 3520 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3517 3521 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3518 3522
3519 3523 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3520 3524
3521 3525 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3522 3526 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3523 3527 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3524 3528 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3525 3529
3526 3530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3527 3531 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3528 3532 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3529 3533 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3530 3534
3531 3535 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3532 3536 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3533 3537 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3534 3538 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3535 3539 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3536 3540 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3537 3541 problem.
3538 3542
3539 3543 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3540 3544 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3541 3545
3542 3546 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3543 3547 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3544 3548 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3545 3549
3546 3550 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3547 3551
3548 3552 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3549 3553 continue prompts.
3550 3554
3551 3555 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3552 3556 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3553 3557 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3554 3558 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3555 3559 byte-compilation saves time.
3556 3560
3557 3561 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3558 3562
3559 3563 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3560 3564 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3561 3565
3562 3566 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3563 3567 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3564 3568
3565 3569 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3566 3570 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3567 3571 common cases where it's a problem.
3568 3572
3569 3573 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3570 3574
3571 3575 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3572 3576 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3573 3577 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3574 3578 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3575 3579 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3576 3580 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3577 3581
3578 3582 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3579 3583
3580 3584 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3581 3585 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3582 3586
3583 3587 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3584 3588 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3585 3589 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3586 3590 structure as win_exec_ext.
3587 3591
3588 3592 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3589 3593 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3590 3594
3591 3595 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3592 3596 delete aliases.
3593 3597
3594 3598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3595 3599 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3596 3600
3597 3601 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3598 3602
3599 3603 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3600 3604 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3601 3605
3602 3606 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3607
3604 3608 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3605 3609 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3606 3610
3607 3611 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3608 3612 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3609 3613
3610 3614 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3611 3615 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3612 3616 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3613 3617 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3614 3618 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3615 3619 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3616 3620
3617 3621 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3618 3622 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3619 3623 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3620 3624
3621 3625 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3622 3626 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3623 3627 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3624 3628
3625 3629 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3626 3630 via an extra $. For example:
3627 3631
3628 3632 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3629 3633
3630 3634 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3631 3635 a python variable
3632 3636
3633 3637 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3634 3638 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3635 3639
3636 3640 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3637 3641 things prematurely.
3638 3642
3639 3643 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3640 3644 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3641 3645
3642 3646 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3643 3647 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3644 3648 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3645 3649 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3646 3650 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3647 3651 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3648 3652 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3649 3653 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3650 3654
3651 3655 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3652 3656 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3653 3657 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3654 3658 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3655 3659 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3656 3660 with the old system).
3657 3661
3658 3662 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3659 3663
3660 3664 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3661 3665 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3662 3666
3663 3667 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3664 3668 call to eval.
3665 3669 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3666 3670 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3667 3671 in.
3668 3672
3669 3673 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3670 3674
3671 3675 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3672 3676 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3673 3677 confusion).
3674 3678
3675 3679 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3676 3680 check for Windows users.
3677 3681
3678 3682 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3679 3683 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3680 3684 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3681 3685 download it.
3682 3686
3683 3687 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3684 3688
3685 3689 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3686 3690 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3687 3691 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3688 3692 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3689 3693 of IDLE's out).
3690 3694
3691 3695 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3692 3696 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3693 3697 eventually.
3694 3698 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3695 3699
3696 3700 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3697 3701
3698 3702 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3699 3703 list of auto-defined aliases.
3700 3704
3701 3705 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3702 3706
3703 3707 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3704 3708 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3705 3709 things under Windows).
3706 3710
3707 3711 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3708 3712
3709 3713 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3710 3714 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3711 3715 reported by Thorsten.
3712 3716
3713 3717 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3714 3718
3715 3719 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3716 3720 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3717 3721 for all examples and the manual as well.
3718 3722
3719 3723 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3720 3724
3721 3725 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3722 3726 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3723 3727 inherit from BasePrompt.
3724 3728
3725 3729 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3726 3730 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3727 3731
3728 3732 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3729 3733 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3730 3734 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3731 3735 defaults.
3732 3736 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3733 3737 this fix manually!
3734 3738
3735 3739 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3736 3740 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3737 3741 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3738 3742 distutils).
3739 3743
3740 3744 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3741 3745 usage of new '\D' escape.
3742 3746
3743 3747 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3744 3748 lacks os.getuid())
3745 3749 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3746 3750 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3747 3751 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3748 3752 handling mechanism.
3749 3753 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3750 3754 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3751 3755 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3752 3756 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3753 3757 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3754 3758 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3755 3759 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3756 3760
3757 3761 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3762
3759 3763 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3760 3764 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3761 3765 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3762 3766
3763 3767 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3764 3768 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3765 3769 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3766 3770 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3767 3771 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3768 3772 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3769 3773 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3770 3774 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3771 3775
3772 3776 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3773 3777 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3774 3778 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3775 3779 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3776 3780 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3777 3781 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3778 3782 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3779 3783 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3780 3784
3781 3785 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3782 3786 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3783 3787 functions uniform.
3784 3788 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3785 3789
3786 3790 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3787 3791 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3788 3792 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3789 3793 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3790 3794 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3791 3795 use to parse their options.
3792 3796
3793 3797 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3794 3798 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3795 3799 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3796 3800
3797 3801 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3798 3802 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3799 3803 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3800 3804 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3801 3805 via the prompt_specials.
3802 3806
3803 3807 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3804 3808
3805 3809 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3806 3810 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3807 3811 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3808 3812 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3809 3813 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3810 3814 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3811 3815 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3812 3816 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3813 3817
3814 3818 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3815 3819
3816 3820 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3817 3821 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3818 3822 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3819 3823
3820 3824 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3821 3825
3822 3826 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3823 3827 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3824 3828
3825 3829 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3826 3830
3827 3831 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3828 3832 parens would get passed to the shell.
3829 3833
3830 3834 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3831 3835
3832 3836 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3833 3837 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3834 3838
3835 3839 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3836 3840 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3837 3841 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3838 3842 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3839 3843 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3840 3844
3841 3845 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3842 3846 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3843 3847 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3844 3848 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3845 3849
3846 3850 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3847 3851
3848 3852 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3849 3853
3850 3854 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3851 3855 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3852 3856 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3853 3857
3854 3858 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3855 3859 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3856 3860 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3857 3861 official documentation.
3858 3862
3859 3863 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3860 3864
3861 3865 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3862 3866 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3863 3867 explicit filename.
3864 3868
3865 3869 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3866 3870
3867 3871 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3868 3872 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3869 3873 case.
3870 3874
3871 3875 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3872 3876 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3873 3877 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3874 3878
3875 3879 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3876 3880
3877 3881 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3882
3879 3883 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3880 3884 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3881 3885 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3882 3886 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3883 3887 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3884 3888 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3885 3889 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3886 3890 any changes to python proper.
3887 3891
3888 3892 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3889 3893 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3890 3894 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3891 3895 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3892 3896 Schmolck.
3893 3897
3894 3898 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3895 3899
3896 3900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3897 3901 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3898 3902 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3899 3903 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3900 3904
3901 3905 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3902 3906
3903 3907 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3904 3908 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3905 3909 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3906 3910 name).
3907 3911
3908 3912 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3909 3913 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3910 3914 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3911 3915 Francois Pinard.
3912 3916
3913 3917 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3914 3918
3915 3919 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3916 3920 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3917 3921 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3918 3922 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3919 3923 not work.
3920 3924
3921 3925 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3926
3923 3927 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3924 3928 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3925 3929 distinguishes stdout/err.
3926 3930
3927 3931 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3928 3932 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3929 3933 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3930 3934 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3931 3935 the standard library.
3932 3936
3933 3937 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3934 3938 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3935 3939
3936 3940 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3937 3941 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3938 3942
3939 3943 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3940 3944
3941 3945 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3942 3946 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3943 3947 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3944 3948 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3945 3949 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3946 3950 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3947 3951
3948 3952 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3949 3953
3950 3954 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3951 3955 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3952 3956 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3953 3957 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3954 3958
3955 3959 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3956 3960
3957 3961 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3958 3962 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3959 3963 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3960 3964 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3961 3965
3962 3966 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3963 3967
3964 3968 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3965 3969 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3966 3970 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3967 3971 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3968 3972 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3969 3973 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3970 3974 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3971 3975 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3972 3976
3973 3977 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3974 3978
3975 3979 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3976 3980 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3977 3981
3978 3982 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3979 3983
3980 3984 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3981 3985 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3982 3986 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3983 3987 very short.
3984 3988
3985 3989 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3990
3987 3991 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3988 3992 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3989 3993 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3990 3994 this before making it permanent.
3991 3995
3992 3996 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3993 3997 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3994 3998 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3995 3999 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3996 4000
3997 4001 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4002
3999 4003 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4000 4004 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4001 4005
4002 4006 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4003 4007
4004 4008 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4005 4009 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4006 4010 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4007 4011 cases I've missed.
4008 4012
4009 4013 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4010 4014
4011 4015 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4012 4016 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4013 4017 system would be triggered for @p.
4014 4018
4015 4019 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4016 4020 cleanups, code unmodified.
4017 4021
4018 4022 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4019 4023 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4020 4024 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4021 4025 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4022 4026 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4023 4027 The actual changes affect many files.
4024 4028
4025 4029 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4026 4030
4027 4031 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4028 4032 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4029 4033 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4030 4034
4031 4035 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4036
4033 4037 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4034 4038 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4035 4039
4036 4040 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4037 4041
4038 4042 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4039 4043 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4040 4044 numpy list.
4041 4045
4042 4046 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>

4044 4048 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4045 4049 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4046 4050 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4047 4051 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4048 4052
4049 4053 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4050 4054
4051 4055 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4052 4056 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4053 4057 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4054 4058 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4055 4059
4056 4060 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4057 4061 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4058 4062
4059 4063 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4064
4061 4065 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4062 4066 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4063 4067 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4064 4068 Collins.
4065 4069
4066 4070 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4067 4071
4068 4072 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4069 4073
4070 4074 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4071 4075 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4072 4076 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4073 4077
4074 4078 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4075 4079
4076 4080 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4077 4081 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4078 4082 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4079 4083 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4080 4084
4081 4085 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4082 4086 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4083 4087 __getitem__ and __call__.
4084 4088
4085 4089 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4086 4090
4087 4091 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4092
4089 4093 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4090 4094 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4091 4095 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4092 4096 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4093 4097
4094 4098 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4095 4099 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4096 4100 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4097 4101 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4098 4102 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4099 4103 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4100 4104 necessary.
4101 4105
4102 4106 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4103 4107 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4104 4108 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4105 4109
4106 4110 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4107 4111 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4108 4112 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4109 4113 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4110 4114
4111 4115 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4112 4116 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4113 4117 generators.
4114 4118
4115 4119 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4116 4120 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4117 4121 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4118 4122 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4119 4123 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4120 4124 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4121 4125 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4122 4126
4123 4127 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4124 4128 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4125 4129 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4126 4130 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4127 4131 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4128 4132
4129 4133 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4130 4134 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4131 4135 edit under some circumstances.
4132 4136 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4133 4137 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4134 4138 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4135 4139 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4136 4140 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4137 4141 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4138 4142 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4139 4143 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4140 4144 need more testing.
4141 4145
4142 4146 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4143 4147
4144 4148 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4145 4149 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4146 4150 and simpler code.
4147 4151
4148 4152 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4149 4153
4150 4154 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4151 4155 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4152 4156 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4153 4157 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4154 4158 even if they were contiguous.
4155 4159 (l1norm): Added this function.
4156 4160 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4157 4161 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4158 4162 and speed.
4159 4163
4160 4164 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4161 4165
4162 4166 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4163 4167 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4164 4168 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4165 4169
4166 4170 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4167 4171
4168 4172 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4169 4173 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4170 4174 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4171 4175
4172 4176 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4173 4177 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4174 4178 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4175 4179
4176 4180 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4177 4181
4178 4182 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4179 4183 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4180 4184 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4181 4185 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4182 4186 activity.
4183 4187
4184 4188 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4185 4189
4186 4190 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4187 4191 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4188 4192 Numeric.identity)
4189 4193
4190 4194 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4191 4195
4192 4196 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4193 4197 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4194 4198 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4195 4199
4196 4200 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4201
4198 4202 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4199 4203 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4200 4204 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4201 4205 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4202 4206
4203 4207 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4204 4208 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4205 4209 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4206 4210 is implemented).
4207 4211
4208 4212 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4209 4213
4210 4214 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4211 4215 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4212 4216 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4213 4217
4214 4218 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4215 4219 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4216 4220 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4217 4221 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4218 4222 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4219 4223
4220 4224 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4221 4225
4222 4226 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4223 4227
4224 4228 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4225 4229 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4226 4230 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4227 4231
4228 4232 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4233
4230 4234 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4231 4235 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4232 4236 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4233 4237
4234 4238 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4235 4239 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4236 4240 crash report from Prabhu.
4237 4241
4238 4242 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4243
4240 4244 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4241 4245 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4242 4246 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4243 4247 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4244 4248 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4245 4249 also be useful in other cases.
4246 4250
4247 4251 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4248 4252 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4249 4253 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4250 4254
4251 4255 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4252 4256
4253 4257 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4254 4258
4255 4259 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4256 4260 installing for a new user under Windows.
4257 4261
4258 4262 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4259 4263
4260 4264 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4261 4265 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4262 4266 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4263 4267 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4264 4268 there.
4265 4269
4266 4270 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4267 4271 info to crash reports.
4268 4272
4269 4273 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4270 4274 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4271 4275 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4272 4276 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4273 4277
4274 4278 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4275 4279
4276 4280 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4277 4281 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4278 4282 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4279 4283 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4280 4284
4281 4285 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4282 4286
4283 4287 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4284 4288 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4285 4289
4286 4290 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4287 4291
4288 4292 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4289 4293 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4290 4294
4291 4295 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4292 4296
4293 4297 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4294 4298
4295 4299 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4296 4300 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4297 4301 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4298 4302
4299 4303 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4300 4304 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4301 4305 with the new auto-indent option.
4302 4306
4303 4307 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4304 4308
4305 4309 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4306 4310 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4307 4311 this class from the main Shell class.
4308 4312
4309 4313 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4310 4314 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4311 4315 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4312 4316 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4313 4317 option).
4314 4318
4315 4319 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4316 4320 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4317 4321 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4318 4322 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4319 4323 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4320 4324
4321 4325 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4322 4326 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4323 4327 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4324 4328
4325 4329 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4326 4330 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4327 4331 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4328 4332 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4329 4333 tracebacks.
4330 4334
4331 4335 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4332 4336 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4333 4337 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4334 4338
4335 4339 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4336 4340
4337 4341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4338 4342 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4339 4343 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4340 4344 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4341 4345
4342 4346 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4343 4347
4344 4348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4345 4349 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4346 4350 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4347 4351 for the bug report.
4348 4352
4349 4353 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4350 4354
4351 4355 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4352 4356 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4353 4357 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4354 4358 report.
4355 4359
4356 4360 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4357 4361
4358 4362 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4359 4363 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4360 4364 end).
4361 4365
4362 4366 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4363 4367 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4364 4368 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4365 4369
4366 4370 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4367 4371
4368 4372 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4369 4373 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4370 4374 for the patch.
4371 4375
4372 4376 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4373 4377
4374 4378 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4375 4379 functions.
4376 4380
4377 4381 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4379 4383 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4380 4384
4381 4385 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4382 4386 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4383 4387 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4384 4388 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4385 4389 private fix.
4386 4390
4387 4391 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4388 4392 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4389 4393 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4390 4394 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4391 4395 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4392 4396 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4393 4397 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4394 4398 fixed for this setup.
4395 4399
4396 4400 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4397 4401 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4398 4402
4399 4403 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2

4401 4405 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4402 4406
4403 4407 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4404 4408 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4405 4409 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4406 4410 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4407 4411 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4408 4412 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4409 4413 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4410 4414 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4411 4415 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4412 4416
4413 4417 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4414 4418 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4415 4419 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4416 4420
4417 4421 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4418 4422
4419 4423 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4420 4424
4421 4425 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4422 4426 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4423 4427 pickle-related issue in @run).
4424 4428
4425 4429 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4426 4430
4427 4431 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4428 4432 the autocall option at runtime.
4429 4433 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4430 4434 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4431 4435 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4432 4436 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4433 4437 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4434 4438 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4435 4439 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4436 4440 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4437 4441 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4438 4442 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4439 4443 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4440 4444 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4441 4445 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4442 4446 pickles to save something sensible.
4443 4447
4444 4448 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4445 4449
4446 4450 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4447 4451 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4448 4452 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4449 4453
4450 4454 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4451 4455
4452 4456 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4453 4457 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4454 4458
4455 4459 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4456 4460
4457 4461 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4458 4462 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4459 4463 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4460 4464 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4461 4465
4462 4466 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4463 4467
4464 4468 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4465 4469 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4466 4470 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4467 4471 array is non-contiguous.
4468 4472
4469 4473 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4470 4474
4471 4475 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4472 4476 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4473 4477 executed).
4474 4478 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4475 4479 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4476 4480 output.
4477 4481 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4478 4482 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4479 4483 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4480 4484 changing.
4481 4485
4482 4486 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4483 4487
4484 4488 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4485 4489
4486 4490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4487 4491 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4488 4492 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4489 4493 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4490 4494 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4491 4495 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4492 4496 like a normal command-line.
4493 4497
4494 4498 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4495 4499 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4496 4500 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4497 4501 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4498 4502
4499 4503 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4500 4504
4501 4505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4502 4506 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4503 4507 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4504 4508 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4505 4509
4506 4510 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4507 4511
4508 4512 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4509 4513 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4510 4514 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4511 4515 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4512 4516 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4513 4517 think it's worth doing.
4514 4518
4515 4519 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4516 4520
4517 4521 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4518 4522
4519 4523 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4520 4524 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4521 4525
4522 4526 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4523 4527 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4524 4528 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4525 4529 also work ok.
4526 4530
4527 4531 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4528 4532
4529 4533 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4530 4534
4531 4535 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4532 4536
4533 4537 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4534 4538 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4535 4539 of gnuplot data files.
4536 4540
4537 4541 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4538 4542
4539 4543 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4540 4544 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4541 4545
4542 4546 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4543 4547
4544 4548 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4545 4549 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4546 4550 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4547 4551 for pointing this out.
4548 4552
4549 4553 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4550 4554
4551 4555 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4552 4556
4553 4557 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4554 4558 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4555 4559 Interactive.
4556 4560
4557 4561 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4558 4562 being imported from iplib.
4559 4563
4560 4564 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4561 4565 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4562 4566 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4563 4567 common name.
4564 4568
4565 4569 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4566 4570 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4567 4571
4568 4572 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4569 4573 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4570 4574
4571 4575 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4572 4576 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4573 4577 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4574 4578 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4575 4579 docstrings).
4576 4580
4577 4581 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4578 4582
4579 4583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4580 4584 (inconsistent with options).
4581 4585
4582 4586 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4583 4587 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4584 4588 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4585 4589 eps output.
4586 4590
4587 4591 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4588 4592
4589 4593 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4590 4594 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4591 4595 Pinard.
4592 4596
4593 4597 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4594 4598
4595 4599 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4596 4600 history file for new users.
4597 4601 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4598 4602 user running in the .ipython dir.
4599 4603 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4600 4604 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4601 4605 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4602 4606
4603 4607 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4604 4608 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4605 4609 consistently.
4606 4610
4607 4611 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4608 4612 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4609 4613 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4610 4614 libraries I don't have access to.
4611 4615
4612 4616 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4613 4617 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4614 4618 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4615 4619 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4616 4620 report.
4617 4621
4618 4622 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4619 4623
4620 4624 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4621 4625 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4622 4626 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4623 4627 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4624 4628
4625 4629 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4626 4630
4627 4631 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4628 4632 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4629 4633 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4630 4634 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4631 4635 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4632 4636 instance has been created.
4633 4637
4634 4638 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4635 4639 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4636 4640 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4637 4641 dict by hand.
4638 4642
4639 4643 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4640 4644
4641 4645 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4642 4646 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4643 4647 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4644 4648 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4645 4649 broken.
4646 4650
4647 4651 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4648 4652 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4649 4653 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4650 4654 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4651 4655
4652 4656 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4653 4657 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4654 4658 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4655 4659 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4656 4660 is a valid one.
4657 4661
4658 4662 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4659 4663 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4660 4664 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4661 4665
4662 4666 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4663 4667 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4664 4668 simply leftover junk.
4665 4669
4666 4670 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4667 4671
4668 4672 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4669 4673 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4670 4674 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4671 4675
4672 4676 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4673 4677 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4674 4678 exceptions.
4675 4679
4676 4680 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4677 4681
4678 4682 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4679 4683 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4680 4684 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4681 4685 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4682 4686 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4683 4687
4684 4688 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4685 4689 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4686 4690
4687 4691 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4688 4692 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4689 4693 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4690 4694 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4691 4695 problem mentioned below.
4692 4696
4693 4697 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4698
4695 4699 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4696 4700 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4697 4701
4698 4702 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4699 4703 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4700 4704 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4701 4705 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4702 4706 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4703 4707
4704 4708 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4705 4709 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4706 4710 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4707 4711 actual function names.
4708 4712
4709 4713 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4710 4714 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4711 4715 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4712 4716 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4713 4717 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4714 4718 really be only function/method names.
4715 4719
4716 4720 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4717 4721
4718 4722 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4719 4723 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4720 4724 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4721 4725
4722 4726 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4727
4724 4728 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4725 4729 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4726 4730 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4727 4731
4728 4732 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4729 4733 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4730 4734
4731 4735 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4732 4736 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4733 4737 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4734 4738
4735 4739 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4736 4740 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4737 4741 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4738 4742
4739 4743 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4740 4744 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4741 4745 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4742 4746
4743 4747 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4744 4748
4745 4749 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4746 4750 Gnuplot.File objects.
4747 4751
4748 4752 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4749 4753
4750 4754 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4751 4755 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4752 4756 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4753 4757
4754 4758 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4755 4759
4756 4760 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4757 4761 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4758 4762
4759 4763 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4760 4764 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4761 4765
4762 4766 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4763 4767 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4764 4768
4765 4769 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4766 4770
4767 4771 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4768 4772 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4769 4773 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4770 4774 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4771 4775
4772 4776 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4777
4774 4778 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4775 4779 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4776 4780 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4777 4781
4778 4782 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4779 4783
4780 4784 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4781 4785 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4782 4786 workaround).
4783 4787
4784 4788 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4785 4789
4786 4790 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4787 4791 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4788 4792
4789 4793 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4790 4794
4791 4795 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4792 4796 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4793 4797
4794 4798 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4795 4799 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4796 4800 .strip() is called on it.
4797 4801
4798 4802
4799 4803 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4800 4804
4801 4805 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4802 4806 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4803 4807 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4804 4808
4805 4809 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4806 4810 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4807 4811
4808 4812 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4809 4813 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4810 4814 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4811 4815
4812 4816 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4813 4817
4814 4818 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4815 4819 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4816 4820 __main__.
4817 4821
4818 4822 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4819 4823 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4820 4824
4821 4825 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4822 4826 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4823 4827 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4824 4828 Mathematica behaves.
4825 4829
4826 4830 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4827 4831
4828 4832 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4829 4833 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4830 4834
4831 4835 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4832 4836 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4833 4837 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4834 4838
4835 4839 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4836 4840 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4837 4841
4838 4842 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4839 4843
4840 4844 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4841 4845 underflow problems in Numeric.
4842 4846 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4843 4847 for exact integer powers of 2.
4844 4848
4845 4849 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4846 4850 properly.
4847 4851
4848 4852 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4849 4853
4850 4854 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4851 4855 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4852 4856
4853 4857 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4854 4858
4855 4859 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4856 4860 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4857 4861
4858 4862 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4859 4863
4860 4864 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4861 4865 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4862 4866 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4863 4867 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4864 4868 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4865 4869 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4866 4870 times).
4867 4871
4868 4872 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4869 4873 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4870 4874 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4871 4875
4872 4876 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4873 4877
4874 4878 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4875 4879 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4876 4880 embedded code.
4877 4881
4878 4882 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4879 4883 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4880 4884 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4881 4885
4882 4886 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4883 4887 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4884 4888 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4885 4889 less special-casing to remember.
4886 4890
4887 4891 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4888 4892
4889 4893 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4890 4894 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4891 4895 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4892 4896 arg is not a defined object.
4893 4897 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4894 4898 a Mike Heeter idea.
4895 4899
4896 4900 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4897 4901 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4898 4902 interactive use.
4899 4903
4900 4904 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4901 4905 filenames.
4902 4906
4903 4907 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4904 4908
4905 4909 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4906 4910 initialization via another struct.
4907 4911
4908 4912 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4909 4913 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4910 4914
4911 4915 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4912 4916
4913 4917 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4914 4918 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4915 4919 too big).
4916 4920
4917 4921 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4918 4922
4919 4923 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4920 4924 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4921 4925 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4922 4926 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4923 4927
4924 4928 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4925 4929
4926 4930 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4927 4931 macros having broken.
4928 4932
4929 4933 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4930 4934
4931 4935 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4932 4936 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4933 4937 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4934 4938 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4935 4939 not to lists.
4936 4940
4937 4941 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4938 4942
4939 4943 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4940 4944 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4941 4945 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4942 4946
4943 4947 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4944 4948 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4945 4949
4946 4950 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4947 4951 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4948 4952 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4949 4953
4950 4954 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4951 4955 triple-quoted strings.
4952 4956
4953 4957 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4954 4958 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4955 4959 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4956 4960 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4957 4961 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4958 4962 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4959 4963
4960 4964 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4961 4965
4962 4966 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4963 4967 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4964 4968 ultraTB).
4965 4969
4966 4970 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4967 4971
4968 4972 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4969 4973 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4970 4974 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4971 4975 user's 'g' variables).
4972 4976
4973 4977 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4974 4978 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4975 4979 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4976 4980 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4977 4981 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4978 4982 macros.
4979 4983
4980 4984 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4985
4982 4986 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4983 4987 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4984 4988
4985 4989 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4986 4990 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4987 4991 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4988 4992
4989 4993 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4990 4994
4991 4995 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4992 4996 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4993 4997 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4994 4998 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4995 4999 aliases.
4996 5000
4997 5001 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4998 5002
4999 5003 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5000 5004 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5001 5005 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5002 5006 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5003 5007
5004 5008 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5005 5009
5006 5010 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5007 5011 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5008 5012 user-defined functions overrode them.
5009 5013
5010 5014 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5011 5015
5012 5016 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5013 5017 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5014 5018
5015 5019 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5016 5020
5017 5021 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5018 5022 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5019 5023 IPython.
5020 5024
5021 5025 * Released 0.2.13
5022 5026
5023 5027 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5024 5028 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5025 5029 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5026 5030 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5027 5031
5028 5032 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5029 5033
5030 5034 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5031 5035 magic properly formatted for screen.
5032 5036
5033 5037 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5034 5038 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5035 5039
5036 5040 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5037 5041 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5038 5042 etc.)
5039 5043
5040 5044 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5041 5045
5042 5046 * Released 0.2.12
5043 5047
5044 5048 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5045 5049
5046 5050 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5047 5051 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5048 5052 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5049 5053 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5050 5054 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5051 5055 an alias to @run -i.
5052 5056
5053 5057 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5054 5058 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5055 5059
5056 5060 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5057 5061
5058 5062 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5059 5063 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5060 5064 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5061 5065
5062 5066 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5063 5067 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5064 5068 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5065 5069 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5066 5070 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5067 5071 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5068 5072 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5069 5073
5070 5074 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5071 5075
5072 5076 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5073 5077 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5074 5078 printed).
5075 5079
5076 5080 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5077 5081 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5078 5082 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5079 5083
5080 5084 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5081 5085 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5082 5086
5083 5087 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5084 5088 handle magic commands in them.
5085 5089 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5086 5090 ~/mylog' now works.
5087 5091
5088 5092 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5089 5093 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5090 5094
5091 5095 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5092 5096
5093 5097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5094 5098 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5095 5099
5096 5100 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5097 5101 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5098 5102 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5099 5103 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5100 5104 variables are in the context of an exception.
5101 5105 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5102 5106 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5103 5107
5104 5108 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5105 5109 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5106 5110
5107 5111 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5108 5112
5109 5113 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5110 5114 magics can parse options easier.
5111 5115 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5112 5116 suggested by Chris Hart.
5113 5117 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5114 5118 directory actually is in history.
5115 5119
5116 5120 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5117 5121 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5118 5122 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5119 5123
5120 5124 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5121 5125 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5122 5126 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5123 5127 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5124 5128
5125 5129 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5126 5130
5127 5131 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5128 5132 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5129 5133
5130 5134 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5131 5135 text (was a bug).
5132 5136
5133 5137 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5134 5138
5135 5139 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5136 5140 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5137 5141 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5138 5142
5139 5143 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5140 5144
5141 5145 * Released 0.2.10
5142 5146
5143 5147 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5144 5148
5145 5149 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5146 5150 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5147 5151
5148 5152 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5149 5153
5150 5154 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5151 5155 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5152 5156
5153 5157 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5154 5158
5155 5159 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5156 5160 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5157 5161 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5158 5162 __init__.py)
5159 5163
5160 5164 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5161 5165
5162 5166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5163 5167 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5164 5168 test for being inside IPython.
5165 5169
5166 5170 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5167 5171 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5168 5172 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5169 5173 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5170 5174
5171 5175 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5172 5176
5173 5177 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5174 5178 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5175 5179 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5176 5180
5177 5181 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5178 5182 embedding example to standard user directory for
5179 5183 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5180 5184
5181 5185 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5182 5186 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5183 5187 hidden global).
5184 5188
5185 5189 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5186 5190 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5187 5191 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5188 5192 case.
5189 5193
5190 5194 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5191 5195
5192 5196 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5193 5197 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5194 5198 start.
5195 5199
5196 5200 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5197 5201 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5198 5202 Numeric or math.
5199 5203
5200 5204 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5201 5205 provided profiles. Now we have:
5202 5206 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5203 5207 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5204 5208 -physics -> same as before
5205 5209
5206 5210 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5207 5211 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5208 5212 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5209 5213 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5210 5214 string adds).
5211 5215
5212 5216 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5213 5217 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5214 5218 line with the gnuplot code).
5215 5219
5216 5220 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5217 5221
5218 5222 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5219 5223 all included files change.
5220 5224
5221 5225 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5222 5226 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5223 5227
5224 5228 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5225 5229 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5226 5230 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5227 5231
5228 5232 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5229 5233 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5230 5234
5231 5235 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5232 5236 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5233 5237
5234 5238 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5235 5239 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5236 5240 now accessible.
5237 5241
5238 5242 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5239 5243 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5240 5244 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5241 5245 removed.
5242 5246 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5243 5247 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5244 5248 don't crash.
5245 5249 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5246 5250 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5247 5251 remains available.
5248 5252
5249 5253 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5250 5254
5251 5255 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5252 5256
5253 5257 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5254 5258
5255 5259 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5256 5260 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5257 5261 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5258 5262 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5259 5263
5260 5264 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5261 5265
5262 5266 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5263 5267 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5264 5268 sync with the output counter.
5265 5269
5266 5270 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5267 5271 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5268 5272
5269 5273 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5270 5274
5271 5275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5272 5276 readline, fix it back after each call.
5273 5277
5274 5278 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5275 5279 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5276 5280 traceback references are properly deleted.
5277 5281
5278 5282 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5279 5283 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5280 5284
5281 5285 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5282 5286
5283 5287 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5284 5288 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5285 5289 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5286 5290 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5287 5291 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5288 5292 to catch SystemExit).
5289 5293
5290 5294 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5291 5295 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5292 5296 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5293 5297 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5294 5298 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5295 5299 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5296 5300
5297 5301 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5298 5302
5299 5303 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5300 5304 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5301 5305 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5302 5306
5303 5307 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5304 5308 configurable (it should have always been so).
5305 5309
5306 5310 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5307 5311
5308 5312 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5309 5313 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5310 5314 done in a more elegant way.
5311 5315
5312 5316 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5313 5317
5314 5318 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5315 5319 win9x also.
5316 5320
5317 5321 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5318 5322
5319 5323 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5320 5324 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5321 5325
5322 5326 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5327
5324 5328 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5325 5329
5326 5330 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5327 5331 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5328 5332
5329 5333 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5330 5334 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5331 5335
5332 5336 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5333 5337 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5334 5338
5335 5339 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5336 5340 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5337 5341
5338 5342 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5339 5343
5340 5344 * Released 0.2.8
5341 5345
5342 5346 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5343 5347 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5344 5348 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5345 5349 on' so that the first tab completes.
5346 5350 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5347 5351 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5348 5352
5349 5353 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5350 5354 installation.
5351 5355
5352 5356 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5353 5357 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5354 5358
5355 5359 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5356 5360
5357 5361 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5358 5362 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5359 5363 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5360 5364
5361 5365 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5362 5366 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5363 5367
5364 5368 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5365 5369 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5366 5370 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5367 5371 suggestion.
5368 5372
5369 5373 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5370 5374 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5371 5375 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5372 5376
5373 5377 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5374 5378 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5375 5379
5376 5380 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5377 5381
5378 5382 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5379 5383 which properly handles things for windows users.
5380 5384
5381 5385 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5382 5386
5383 5387 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5384 5388 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5385 5389 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5386 5390 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5387 5391 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5388 5392
5389 5393 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5390 5394
5391 5395 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5392 5396
5393 5397 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5394 5398 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5395 5399
5396 5400 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5397 5401
5398 5402 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5399 5403 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5400 5404 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5401 5405 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5402 5406 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5403 5407 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5404 5408
5405 5409 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5406 5410
5407 5411 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5408 5412 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5409 5413
5410 5414 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5411 5415 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5412 5416 cache at 20 values.
5413 5417
5414 5418 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5415 5419 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5416 5420 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5417 5421 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5418 5422
5419 5423 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5420 5424 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5421 5425 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5422 5426 'file show').
5423 5427
5424 5428 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5425 5429 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5426 5430
5427 5431 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5428 5432 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5429 5433 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5430 5434
5431 5435 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5432 5436 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5433 5437 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5434 5438 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5435 5439
5436 5440 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5437 5441 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5438 5442 the prompt strings.
5439 5443
5440 5444 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5441 5445
5442 5446 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5443 5447 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5444 5448
5445 5449 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5446 5450 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5447 5451 either globally or at each call.
5448 5452
5449 5453 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5450 5454 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5451 5455 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5452 5456 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5453 5457
5454 5458 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5455 5459
5456 5460 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5457 5461 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5458 5462
5459 5463 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5460 5464
5461 5465 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5462 5466 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5463 5467 learning some lisp...
5464 5468
5465 5469 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5466 5470
5467 5471 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5468 5472 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5469 5473 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5470 5474 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5471 5475
5472 5476 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5473 5477 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5474 5478 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5475 5479
5476 5480 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5477 5481
5478 5482 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5479 5483 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5480 5484 control to emacs users.
5481 5485
5482 5486 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5483 5487 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5484 5488 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5485 5489 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5486 5490 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5487 5491 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5488 5492
5489 5493 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5490 5494
5491 5495 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5492 5496
5493 5497 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5494 5498 @logstate magic was created.
5495 5499
5496 5500 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5497 5501 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5498 5502
5499 5503 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5500 5504
5501 5505 * Released 0.2.6.
5502 5506
5503 5507 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5504 5508 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5505 5509
5506 5510 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5507 5511 SciPy.
5508 5512
5509 5513 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5510 5514 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5511 5515 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5512 5516 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5513 5517 the section on embedding and the example file.
5514 5518
5515 5519 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5516 5520 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5517 5521 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5518 5522
5519 5523 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5520 5524 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5521 5525 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5522 5526
5523 5527 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5524 5528 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5525 5529 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5526 5530 for this to work.
5527 5531
5528 5532 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5529 5533
5530 5534 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5531 5535 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5532 5536 well inside Emacs buffers.
5533 5537 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5534 5538 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5535 5539 same bug in iplib.
5536 5540
5537 5541 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5538 5542
5539 5543 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5540 5544 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5541 5545
5542 5546 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5543 5547 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5544 5548 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5545 5549
5546 5550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5547 5551 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5548 5552 display is done.
5549 5553
5550 5554 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5551 5555 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5552 5556
5553 5557 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5554 5558 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5555 5559 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5556 5560 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5557 5561 like in Octave.
5558 5562
5559 5563 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5560 5564 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5561 5565
5562 5566 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5563 5567
5564 5568 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5565 5569 whole file a little.
5566 5570
5567 5571 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5568 5572 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5569 5573 end-user distro.
5570 5574
5571 5575 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5572 5576 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5573 5577 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5574 5578
5575 5579 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5576 5580 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5577 5581
5578 5582 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5579 5583 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5580 5584 for @file.
5581 5585
5582 5586 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5583 5587 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5584 5588 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5585 5589 the code a bit easier.
5586 5590
5587 5591 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5588 5592 information to crash reports.
5589 5593
5590 5594 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5591 5595
5592 5596 * Released 0.2.5.
5593 5597
5594 5598 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5595 5599
5596 5600 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5597 5601 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5598 5602 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5599 5603
5600 5604 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5601 5605
5602 5606 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5603 5607 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5604 5608 have thigs work as expected.
5605 5609
5606 5610 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5607 5611 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5608 5612 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5609 5613 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5610 5614 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5611 5615
5612 5616 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5613 5617 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5614 5618
5615 5619 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5616 5620
5617 5621 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5618 5622 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5619 5623
5620 5624 * README and manual updates.
5621 5625
5622 5626 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5623 5627 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5624 5628
5625 5629 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5626 5630 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5627 5631
5628 5632 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5629 5633 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5630 5634 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5631 5635 extension-less files.
5632 5636
5633 5637 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5634 5638 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5635 5639 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5636 5640
5637 5641 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5638 5642 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5639 5643
5640 5644 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5641 5645 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5642 5646 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5643 5647 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5644 5648 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5645 5649 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5646 5650 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5647 5651 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5648 5652 least make manually a shortcut.
5649 5653
5650 5654 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5651 5655 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5652 5656 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5653 5657 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5654 5658 runtime, with @colors.
5655 5659 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5656 5660 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5657 5661
5658 5662 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5659 5663
5660 5664 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5661 5665 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5662 5666 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5663 5667 read the startup info.
5664 5668
5665 5669 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5666 5670
5667 5671 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5668 5672 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5669 5673 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5670 5674 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5671 5675 type the better off we are.
5672 5676 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5673 5677 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5674 5678 before.
5675 5679
5676 5680 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5677 5681
5678 5682 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5679 5683 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5680 5684 this later.
5681 5685
5682 5686 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5683 5687
5684 5688 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5685 5689 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5686 5690 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5687 5691
5688 5692 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5689 5693
5690 5694 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5691 5695 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5692 5696 spitting out only offset information as before.
5693 5697 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5694 5698 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5695 5699
5696 5700 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5697 5701
5698 5702 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5699 5703 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5700 5704 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5701 5705 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5702 5706 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5703 5707 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5704 5708 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5705 5709 macros.
5706 5710
5707 5711 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5708 5712
5709 5713 * Released 0.2.4.
5710 5714
5711 5715 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5712 5716 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5713 5717 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5714 5718 re-execution.
5715 5719
5716 5720 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5717 5721
5718 5722 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5719 5723 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5720 5724 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5721 5725 documented, of course :)
5722 5726 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5723 5727 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5724 5728 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5725 5729
5726 5730 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5727 5731
5728 5732 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5729 5733 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5730 5734 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5731 5735
5732 5736 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5733 5737
5734 5738 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5735 5739 so I wanted an updated release).
5736 5740
5737 5741 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5738 5742
5739 5743 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5740 5744 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5741 5745 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5742 5746 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5743 5747 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5744 5748
5745 5749 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5746 5750
5747 5751 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5748 5752 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5749 5753
5750 5754 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5751 5755
5752 5756 * Released 0.2.2.
5753 5757
5754 5758 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5755 5759 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5756 5760 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5757 5761 versions.
5758 5762
5759 5763 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5760 5764 (MayaVi author).
5761 5765
5762 5766 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5763 5767
5764 5768 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5765 5769 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5766 5770 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5767 5771 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5768 5772 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5769 5773
5770 5774 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5771 5775 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5772 5776
5773 5777 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5774 5778
5775 5779 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5776 5780 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5777 5781 nice, full-blown manual.
5778 5782
5779 5783 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5780 5784 trivially simple for end-users.
5781 5785
5782 5786 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5783 5787
5784 5788 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5785 5789 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5786 5790
5787 5791 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5788 5792 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5789 5793
5790 5794 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5791 5795
5792 5796 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5793 5797 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5794 5798 people to later upgrade versions.
5795 5799
5796 5800 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5797 5801 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5798 5802 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5799 5803 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5800 5804 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5801 5805 SystemExit).
5802 5806
5803 5807 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5804 5808 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5805 5809 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5806 5810 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5807 5811 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5808 5812
5809 5813 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5810 5814 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5811 5815 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5812 5816
5813 5817 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5814 5818
5815 5819 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5816 5820 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5817 5821
5818 5822 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5819 5823 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5820 5824 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5821 5825 html docs out of it will be found).
5822 5826
5823 5827 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5824 5828
5825 5829 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5826 5830 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5827 5831
5828 5832 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5829 5833
5830 5834 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5831 5835 visiting any directory in _dh.
5832 5836
5833 5837 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5834 5838 it out with numbers.
5835 5839
5836 5840 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5837 5841
5838 5842 * Released 0.1.22
5839 5843
5840 5844 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5841 5845 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5842 5846
5843 5847 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5844 5848 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5845 5849 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5846 5850 screen the necessary mail command.
5847 5851
5848 5852 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5849 5853 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5850 5854 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5851 5855
5852 5856 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5853 5857
5854 5858 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5855 5859 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5856 5860 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5857 5861 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5858 5862 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5859 5863 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5860 5864 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5861 5865 its name).
5862 5866
5863 5867 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5864 5868 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5865 5869 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5866 5870 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5867 5871
5868 5872 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5869 5873
5870 5874 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5871 5875 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5872 5876
5873 5877 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5874 5878 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5875 5879
5876 5880 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5877 5881 completion of @-starting lines.
5878 5882
5879 5883 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5880 5884 info that other files can read from.
5881 5885
5882 5886 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5883 5887 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5884 5888 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5885 5889 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5886 5890 restores produce less errors.
5887 5891
5888 5892 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5889 5893 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5890 5894 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5891 5895 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5892 5896 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5893 5897
5894 5898 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5895 5899 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5896 5900 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5897 5901 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5898 5902 with this, finally...
5899 5903
5900 5904 * Small documentation updates.
5901 5905
5902 5906 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5903 5907 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5904 5908 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5905 5909
5906 5910 * File renaming:
5907 5911 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5908 5912 ipplib --> iplib
5909 5913 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5910 5914
5911 5915 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5912 5916 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5913 5917 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5914 5918
5915 5919 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5916 5920 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5917 5921 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5918 5922
5919 5923 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5920 5924
5921 5925 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5922 5926 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5923 5927 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5924 5928 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5925 5929
5926 5930 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5927 5931 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5928 5932 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5929 5933
5930 5934 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5931 5935 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5932 5936 road.
5933 5937
5934 5938 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5935 5939 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5936 5940 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5937 5941 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5938 5942
5939 5943 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5940 5944
5941 5945 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5942 5946 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5943 5947 file accordingly.
5944 5948
5945 5949 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5946 5950 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5947 5951 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5948 5952 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5949 5953 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5950 5954 separators and proper padding and justification.
5951 5955
5952 5956 * Released 0.1.20
5953 5957
5954 5958 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5955 5959 copy operation was missing).
5956 5960
5957 5961 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5958 5962 its output is always quite long.
5959 5963
5960 5964 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5961 5965 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5962 5966 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5963 5967 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5964 5968
5965 5969 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5966 5970 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5967 5971 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5968 5972 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5969 5973
5970 5974 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5971 5975
5972 5976 * Released 0.1.19
5973 5977
5974 5978 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5975 5979 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5976 5980
5977 5981 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5978 5982 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5979 5983 comment on 'macros').
5980 5984
5981 5985 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5982 5986
5983 5987 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5984 5988 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5985 5989 statements and takes parameters.
5986 5990
5987 5991 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5988 5992
5989 5993 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5990 5994
5991 5995 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5992 5996
5993 5997 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5994 5998 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5995 5999
5996 6000 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5997 6001 ipythonrc-* samples.
5998 6002
5999 6003 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6000 6004 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6001 6005
6002 6006 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6003 6007 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6004 6008
6005 6009 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6006 6010
6007 6011 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6008 6012 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6009 6013 convention.
6010 6014
6011 6015 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6012 6016 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6013 6017
6014 6018 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6015 6019
6016 6020 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6017 6021 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6018 6022
6019 6023 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6020 6024 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6021 6025 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6022 6026 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6023 6027 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6024 6028 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6025 6029 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6026 6030 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6027 6031 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6028 6032 works.
6029 6033
6030 6034 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6031 6035
6032 6036 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6033 6037 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6034 6038 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6035 6039 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6036 6040 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6037 6041 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6038 6042 all the editors, less does that.
6039 6043
6040 6044 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6041 6045
6042 6046 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6043 6047 crash IPython.
6044 6048
6045 6049 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6046 6050
6047 6051 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6048 6052
6049 6053 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6050 6054 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6051 6055 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6052 6056 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6053 6057 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6054 6058 work in _ofind.
6055 6059
6056 6060 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6057 6061 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6058 6062 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6059 6063 (famous last words).
6060 6064
6061 6065 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6062 6066 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6063 6067 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6064 6068 windows).
6065 6069
6066 6070 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6067 6071 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6068 6072
6069 6073 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6070 6074 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6071 6075 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6072 6076 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6073 6077
6074 6078 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6075 6079 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6076 6080 licences and announce it.
6077 6081
6078 6082 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6079 6083 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6080 6084 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6081 6085 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6082 6086
6083 6087 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6084 6088
6085 6089 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6086 6090 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6087 6091 lists.
6088 6092
6089 6093 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6090 6094 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6091 6095 are ok.
6092 6096
6093 6097 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6094 6098 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6095 6099
6096 6100 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6097 6101 this to Nathan.
6098 6102
6099 6103 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6100 6104
6101 6105 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6102 6106 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6103 6107 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6104 6108
6105 6109 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6106 6110 accepted). Cleaner.
6107 6111
6108 6112 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6109 6113 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6110 6114 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6111 6115 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6112 6116 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6113 6117
6114 6118 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6115 6119
6116 6120 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6117 6121 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6118 6122 history after a log replay.
6119 6123
6120 6124 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6121 6125 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6122 6126 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6123 6127 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6124 6128 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6125 6129 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6126 6130
6127 6131 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6128 6132 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6129 6133 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6130 6134 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6131 6135 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6132 6136
6133 6137 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6134 6138
6135 6139 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6136 6140 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6137 6141 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6138 6142 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6139 6143 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6140 6144 one: cache_size.
6141 6145
6142 6146 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6143 6147 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6144 6148 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6145 6149 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6146 6150
6147 6151 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6148 6152 @ or not).
6149 6153
6150 6154 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6151 6155 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6152 6156 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6153 6157 about licensing).
6154 6158
6155 6159 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6156 6160
6157 6161 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6158 6162 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6159 6163
6160 6164 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6161 6165 screen size for page() operations.
6162 6166
6163 6167 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6164 6168 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6165 6169 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6166 6170 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6167 6171
6168 6172 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6169 6173 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6170 6174 option name tables are clearer.
6171 6175
6172 6176 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6173 6177 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6174 6178 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6175 6179 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6176 6180 was also changed a little to align better.
6177 6181
6178 6182 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6179 6183 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6180 6184
6181 6185 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6182 6186 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6183 6187 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6184 6188
6185 6189 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6186 6190 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6187 6191 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6188 6192 he needs it.
6189 6193
6190 6194 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6191 6195
6192 6196 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6193 6197 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6194 6198 warning on it.
6195 6199
6196 6200 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6197 6201 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6198 6202 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6199 6203 was too long).
6200 6204
6201 6205 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6202 6206 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6203 6207 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6204 6208
6205 6209 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6206 6210 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6207 6211 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6208 6212 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6209 6213 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6210 6214 function for the same task.
6211 6215
6212 6216 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6213 6217
6214 6218 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6215 6219
6216 6220 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6217 6221 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6218 6222 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6219 6223
6220 6224 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6221 6225 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6222 6226 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6223 6227
6224 6228 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6225 6229 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6226 6230 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6227 6231
6228 6232 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6229 6233
6230 6234 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6231 6235
6232 6236 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6233 6237 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6234 6238 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6235 6239
6236 6240 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6237 6241
6238 6242 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6239 6243
6240 6244 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6241 6245
6242 6246 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6243 6247 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6244 6248 maintain.
6245 6249
6246 6250 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6247 6251 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6248 6252 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6249 6253 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6250 6254 compiled and startup is much faster.
6251 6255
6252 6256 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6253 6257 while without messing too much more with the code.
6254 6258
6255 6259 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6256 6260
6257 6261 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6258 6262
6259 6263 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6260 6264 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6261 6265 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6262 6266
6263 6267 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6264 6268 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6265 6269
6266 6270 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6267 6271 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6268 6272 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6269 6273 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6270 6274 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6271 6275 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6272 6276
6273 6277 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6274 6278 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6275 6279
6276 6280 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6277 6281 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6278 6282
6279 6283 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6280 6284 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6281 6285 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6282 6286 excessive.
6283 6287
6284 6288 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6285 6289 types (only first word was displayed).
6286 6290
6287 6291 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6288 6292
6289 6293 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6290 6294
6291 6295 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6292 6296 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6293 6297 travel along many directories.
6294 6298
6295 6299 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6296 6300 arguments with default values.
6297 6301
6298 6302 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6299 6303
6300 6304 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6301 6305 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6302 6306
6303 6307 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6304 6308
6305 6309 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6306 6310 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6307 6311 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6308 6312
6309 6313 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6310 6314
6311 6315 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6312 6316 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6313 6317 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6314 6318 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6315 6319 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6316 6320 purposes.
6317 6321
6318 6322 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6319 6323 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6320 6324 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6321 6325 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6322 6326 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6323 6327 one can simply say
6324 6328 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6325 6329 or even
6326 6330 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6327 6331
6328 6332 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6329 6333 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6330 6334 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6331 6335
6332 6336 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6333 6337 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6334 6338 they were defined in
6335 6339
6336 6340 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6337 6341
6338 6342 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6339 6343 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6340 6344 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6341 6345 these to show the same information.
6342 6346
6343 6347 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6344 6348
6345 6349 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6346 6350 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6347 6351 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6348 6352 backtracked on the whole class!)
6349 6353
6350 6354 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6351 6355 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6352 6356 everything works as before).
6353 6357
6354 6358 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6355 6359 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6356 6360 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6357 6361 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6358 6362
6359 6363 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6360 6364
6361 6365 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6362 6366
6363 6367 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6364 6368 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6365 6369
6366 6370 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6367 6371 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6368 6372 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6369 6373 this later.
6370 6374
6371 6375 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6372 6376
6373 6377 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6374 6378 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6375 6379 line option.
6376 6380
6377 6381 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6378 6382 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6379 6383 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6380 6384 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6381 6385 didn't return a result).
6382 6386
6383 6387 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6384 6388
6385 6389 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6386 6390
6387 6391 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6388 6392 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6389 6393 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6390 6394 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6391 6395
6392 6396 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6393 6397
6394 6398 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6395 6399
6396 6400 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6397 6401 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6398 6402
6399 6403 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6400 6404 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6401 6405 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6402 6406 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6403 6407 in with the next entry:
6404 6408
6405 6409 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6406 6410 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6407 6411 handling.
6408 6412
6409 6413 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6410 6414 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6411 6415 namespace protection and documentation.
6412 6416
6413 6417 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6414 6418
6415 6419 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6416 6420 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6417 6421
6418 6422 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6419 6423
6420 6424 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6421 6425
6422 6426 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6423 6427
6424 6428 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6425 6429 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6426 6430 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6427 6431 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6428 6432 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6429 6433
6430 6434 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6431 6435 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6432 6436 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6433 6437
6434 6438 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6435 6439
6436 6440 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6437 6441 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6438 6442
6439 6443 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6440 6444
6441 6445 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6442 6446
6443 6447 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6444 6448 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6445 6449 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6446 6450 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6447 6451 ScientificPython.
6448 6452
6449 6453 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6450 6454
6451 6455 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6452 6456 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6453 6457 when called with no args.
6454 6458
6455 6459 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6456 6460 closely.
6457 6461
6458 6462 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6459 6463 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6460 6464 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6461 6465 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6462 6466 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6463 6467
6464 6468 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6465 6469
6466 6470 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6467 6471 customizations there and access them via import.
6468 6472
6469 6473 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6470 6474
6471 6475 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6472 6476
6473 6477 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6474 6478 Nathan and Janko.
6475 6479
6476 6480 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6477 6481
6478 6482 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6479 6483 too long.
6480 6484
6481 6485 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6482 6486
6483 6487 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6484 6488 ?sin and sin?
6485 6489 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6486 6490 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6487 6491 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6488 6492 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6489 6493
6490 6494 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6491 6495
6492 6496 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6493 6497
6494 6498 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6495 6499 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6496 6500
6497 6501 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6498 6502 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6499 6503 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6500 6504 me).
6501 6505
6502 6506 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6503 6507 protected (reasonably).
6504 6508
6505 6509 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6506 6510 note through it (it was too long).
6507 6511
6508 6512 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6509 6513 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6510 6514 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6511 6515 parameters.
6512 6516
6513 6517
6514 6518 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6515 6519
6516 6520 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6517 6521 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6518 6522 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6519 6523
6520 6524 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6521 6525 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6522 6526 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6523 6527
6524 6528 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6525 6529
6526 6530 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6527 6531
6528 6532 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6529 6533
6530 6534 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6531 6535 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6532 6536 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6533 6537 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6534 6538 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6535 6539 break.
6536 6540
6537 6541 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6538 6542 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6539 6543 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6540 6544 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6541 6545 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6542 6546 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6543 6547
6544 6548 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6545 6549 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6546 6550 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6547 6551 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6548 6552 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6549 6553 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6550 6554 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6551 6555 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6552 6556 trick.
6553 6557
6554 6558 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6555 6559 session restoring.
6556 6560
6557 6561 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6558 6562 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6559 6563 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6560 6564 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6561 6565 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6562 6566
6563 6567 * Started ChangeLog.
