5 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
6 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.

56 61 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
57 62 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
58 63 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.

60 65 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

63 68 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and

125 130
126 131 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.

130 135 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
131 136
132 137 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
133 138
134 139 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
135 140 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
136 141 every %run call.
137 142
138 143 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
139 144 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
140 145 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
141 146
142 147 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
143 148
144 149 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
145 150 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
146 151 Stefan for the fix.
147 152
148 153 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
149 154 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
150 155 him.
151 156
152 157 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
153 158 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
154 159 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
155 160 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
156 161
157 162 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
158 163 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
159 164 each runcode access.
160 165
161 166 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
162 167 message.
163 168
164 169 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
165 170
166 171 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
167 172 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
168 173 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
169 174
170 175 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
171 176 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
172 177 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
173 178 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
174 179 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
175 180 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
176 181 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
177 182 anything up until we know if it actually works.
178 183
179 184 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
180 185 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
181 186 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
182 187 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
183 188 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
184 189
185 190 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
186 191
187 192 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
188 193 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
189 194 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
190 195
191 196 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
192 197
193 198 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
194 199 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
195 200 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
196 201
197 202 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
198 203
199 204 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
200 205 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
201 206 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
202 207 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
203 208 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
204 209
205 210 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
206 211
207 212 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
208 213 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
209 214
210 215 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
211 216 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
212 217 details in comments left in the code.
213 218
214 219 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
215 220 similar to what we had for Numeric.
216 221
217 222 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
218 223 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
219 224 than readline. Closes #109.
220 225
221 226 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
222 227 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
223 228
224 229 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
225 230
226 231 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
227 232 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
228 233 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
229 234 ongoing Unicode support work.
230 235
231 236 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
232 237 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
233 238 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
234 239 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
235 240
236 241 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
237 242
238 243 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
239 244 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
240 245
241 246 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
242 247
243 248 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
244 249 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
245 250 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
246 251
247 252 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
248 253
249 254 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
250 255 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
251 256 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
252 257 long definition lines for functions.
253 258
254 259 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
255 260
256 261 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
257 262 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
258 263 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
259 264 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
260 265
261 266 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
262 267
263 268 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
264 269
265 270 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
266 271
267 272 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
268 273 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
269 274 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
270 275
271 276 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
272 277 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
273 278
274 279 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
275 280 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
276 281
277 282 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
278 283
279 284 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
280 285 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
281 286 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
282 287
283 288 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
284 289
285 290 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
286 291 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
287 292
288 293 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
289 294 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
290 295 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
291 296 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
292 297 sometimes return "" as last element.
293 298
294 299 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
295 300
296 301 * IPython/completer.py
297 302 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
298 303 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
299 304 would be completed too early.
300 305
301 306 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
302 307 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
303 308 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
304 309 backwards compatibility.
305 310
306 311 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
307 312 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
308 313 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
309 314 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
310 315 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
311 316 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
312 317 also works when debugging.
313 318
314 319 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
315 320 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
316 321
317 322 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
318 323 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
319 324 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
320 325
321 326 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
322 327 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
323 328 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
324 329
325 330 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
326 331 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
327 332
328 333 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
329 334
330 335 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
331 336 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
332 337 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
333 338
334 339 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
335 340
336 341 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
337 342 to be installed alongside igrid.
338 343 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
339 344 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
340 345 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
341 346
342 347 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
343 348
344 349 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
345 350 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
346 351 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
347 352
348 353 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
349 354
350 355 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
351 356 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
352 357
353 358 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
354 359 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
355 360
356 361 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
357 362
358 363 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
359 364 as the default browser.
360 365 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
361 366 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
362 367 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
363 368 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
364 369
365 370 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
366 371
367 372 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
368 373 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
369 374 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
370 375
371 376 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
372 377
373 378 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
374 379 Close help window if exiting igrid.
375 380
376 381 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
377 382
378 383 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
379 384 before calling functions from readline.
380 385
381 386 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
382 387
383 388 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
384 389 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
385 390 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
386 391 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
387 392 falls back to idump.
388 393
389 394 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
390 395
391 396 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
392 397 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
393 398 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
394 399 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
395 400
396 401 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
397 402
398 403 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
399 404 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
400 405 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
401 406 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
402 407 %magic with explicit % prefix.
403 408
404 409 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
405 410
406 411 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
407 412 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
408 413
409 414 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
410 415
411 416 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
412 417 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
413 418 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
414 419 one wants those instead.
415 420
416 421 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
417 422 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
418 423 instead.
419 424
420 425 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
421 426
422 427 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
423 428 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
424 429 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
425 430 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
426 431
427 432 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
428 433
429 434 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
430 435 stop marks.
431 436 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
432 437 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
433 438 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
434 439
435 440 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
436 441
437 442 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
438 443 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
439 444 sumbmitted to upstream.
440 445
441 446 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
442 447
443 448 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
444 449 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
445 450 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
446 451 running into an empty levels list later.
447 452
448 453 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
449 454
450 455 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
451 456 for the noitem object.
452 457
453 458 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
454 459
455 460 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
456 461 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
457 462 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
458 463 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
459 464
460 465 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
461 466
462 467 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
463 468 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
464 469 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
465 470 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
466 471 filenames.
467 472
468 473 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
469 474 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
470 475 out-of-process ipython code.
471 476
472 477 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
473 478 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
474 479 doctesting.
475 480
476 481 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
477 482
478 483 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
479 484
480 485 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
481 486 not being correctly recognized.
482 487
483 488 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
484 489
485 490 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
486 491 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
487 492 only item.
488 493
489 494 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
490 495 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
491 496 infinite recursion for one line strings).
492 497
493 498 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
494 499
495 500 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
496 501 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
497 502 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
498 503
499 504 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
500 505
501 506 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
502 507 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
503 508 "%env VISUAL=jed".
504 509
505 510 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
506 511
507 512 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
508 513 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
509 514 but I'm not exactly sure why).
510 515
511 516 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
512 517 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
513 518
514 519 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
515 520
516 521 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
517 522 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
518 523
519 524 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
520 525 the time during IPython startup is spent.
521 526
522 527 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
523 528
524 529 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
525 530
526 531 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
527 532
528 533 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
529 534
530 535 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
531 536
532 537 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
533 538 to work properly on posix too
534 539
535 540 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
536 541
537 542 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
538 543
539 544 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
540 545 prefix + "/scripts".
541 546
542 547 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
543 548
544 549 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
545 550
546 551 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
547 552 if they already exist
548 553
549 554 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
550 555
551 556 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
552 557
553 558 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
554 559
555 560 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
556 561
557 562 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
558 563 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
559 564 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
560 565
561 566 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
562 567
563 568 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
564 569 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
565 570 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
566 571
567 572 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
568 573 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
569 574 in ipy_user_conf.py
570 575
571 576
572 577 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
573 578 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
574 579 as IPython script.
575 580
576 581 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
577 582
578 583 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
579 584
580 585 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
581 586 is called before any exception has occurred.
582 587
583 588 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
584 589
585 590 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
586 591 to translate /'s to \'s again.
587 592
588 593 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
589 594 backslash.
590 595
591 596 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
592 597
593 598 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
594 599
595 600 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
596 601 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
597 602 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
598 603
599 604 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
600 605 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
601 606
602 607 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
603 608 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
604 609
605 610 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
606 611
607 612 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
608 613
609 614 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
610 615 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
611 616
612 617 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
613 618 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
614 619 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
615 620 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
616 621 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
617 622 mapped to "%" now.
618 623 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
619 624
620 625 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
621 626
622 627 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
623 628 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
624 629 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
625 630 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
626 631
627 632 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
628 633
629 634 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
630 635 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
631 636 for shell escapes.
632 637
633 638 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 639
635 640 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
636 641 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
637 642 vcs_completer.
638 643
639 644 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
640 645
641 646 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
642 647 directly instead!
643 648
644 649 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
645 650
646 651 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
647 652 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
648 653
649 654 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
650 655 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
651 656 explicit.
652 657
653 658 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
654 659 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
655 660
656 661 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
657 662
658 663 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
659 664
660 665 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
661 666 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
662 667 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
663 668 implementation for Text is useless.
664 669
665 670 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
666 671
667 672 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
668 673
669 674 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
670 675
671 676 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
672 677 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
673 678 "profile"
674 679
675 680 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
676 681
677 682 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
678 683 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
679 684
680 685 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
681 686 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
682 687
683 688
684 689 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
685 690 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
686 691 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
687 692
688 693 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
689 694
690 695 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
691 696 with one from UserConfig.
692 697
693 698 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
694 699 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
695 700
696 701 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
697 702 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
698 703 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
699 704
700 705 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
701 706
702 707 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
703 708
704 709 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
705 710
706 711 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
707 712
708 713 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
709 714
710 715 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
711 716
712 717 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
713 718
714 719 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
715 720
716 721 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
717 722 by eval of expr with dots.
718 723
719 724 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
720 725
721 726 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
722 727 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
723 728 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
724 729 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
725 730 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
726 731 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
727 732
728 733 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
729 734
730 735 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
731 736 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
732 737 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
733 738
734 739 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
735 740 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
736 741 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
737 742 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
738 743 funtionality in ipconfig.
739 744
740 745 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
741 746 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
742 747 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
743 748 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
744 749
745 750 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
746 751
747 752 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
748 753 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
749 754 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
750 755 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
751 756 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
752 757 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
753 758 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
754 759 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
755 760 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
756 761 descriptors.
757 762
758 763 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
759 764 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
760 765
761 766 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
762 767 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
763 768
764 769 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
765 770
766 771 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
767 772
768 773 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
769 774
770 775 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
771 776 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
772 777 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
773 778
774 779 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
775 780 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
776 781 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
777 782
778 783 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
779 784 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
780 785 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
781 786 ipy_stock_completers.
782 787
783 788 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
784 789
785 790 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
786 791
787 792 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
788 793 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
789 794 when filtering possible completions.
790 795
791 796 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
792 797
793 798 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
794 799 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
795 800 function
796 801
797 802
798 803 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
799 804
800 805 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
801 806 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
802 807 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
803 808 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
804 809 SVN completer.
805 810
806 811 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
807 812 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
808 813 name is %led.
809 814
810 815 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
811 816
812 817 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
813 818 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
814 819 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
815 820
816 821 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
817 822 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
818 823 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
819 824 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
820 825 hook name is 'complete_command'.
821 826
822 827 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
823 828
824 829 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
825 830 Numeric leftovers.
826 831
827 832 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
828 833 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
829 834
830 835 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
831 836 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
832 837
833 838 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
834 839 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
835 840
836 841 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
837 842 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
838 843 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
839 844
840 845 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
841 846
842 847 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
843 848 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
844 849 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
845 850
846 851 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
847 852 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
848 853
849 854 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
850 855
851 856 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
852 857 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
853 858 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
854 859
855 860 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
856 861
857 862 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
858 863 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
859 864 internal crash handler.
860 865
861 866 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
862 867 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
863 868 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
864 869 at the request of SAGE.
865 870
866 871 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
867 872
868 873 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
869 874 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
870 875
871 876 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
872 877 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
873 878 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
874 879 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
875 880
876 881 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
877 882 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
878 883 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
879 884
880 885 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
881 886
882 887 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
883 888 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
884 889 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
885 890
886 891 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
887 892 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
888 893
889 894 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
890 895
891 896 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
892 897 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
893 898 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
894 899 Stefan.
895 900
896 901 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
897 902
898 903 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
899 904 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
900 905 sys.stdout.close().
901 906
902 907 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
903 908
904 909 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
905 910 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
906 911 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
907 912 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
908 913
909 914 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
910 915 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
911 916 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
912 917
913 918 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
914 919 2.5.
915 920
916 921 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
917 922 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
918 923 interactively.
919 924
920 925 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
921 926
922 927 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
923 928 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
924 929
925 930 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
926 931
927 932 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
928 933 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
929 934 or only files.
930 935
931 936 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
932 937
933 938 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
934 939 they broke unittest
935 940
936 941 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
937 942
938 943 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
939 944 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
940 945 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
941 946 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
942 947
943 948 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
944 949
945 950 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
946 951 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
947 952 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
948 953 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
949 954 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
950 955
951 956 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
952 957
953 958 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
954 959 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
955 960
956 961 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
957 962
958 963 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
959 964 the mode argument).
960 965
961 966 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
962 967
963 968 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
964 969 not running under IPython.
965 970
966 971 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
967 972 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
968 973 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
969 974 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
970 975 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
971 976 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
972 977 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
973 978 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
974 979 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
975 980 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
976 981 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
977 982 are still supported.
978 983
979 984 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
980 985 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
981 986 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
982 987 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
983 988
984 989 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
985 990 encoding into methods.
986 991
987 992 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
988 993
989 994 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
990 995 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
991 996
992 997 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
993 998
994 999 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
995 1000 non existing attributes.
996 1001
997 1002 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
998 1003
999 1004 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1000 1005 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1001 1006
1002 1007 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1003 1008
1004 1009 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1005 1010 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1006 1011
1007 1012 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1008 1013
1009 1014 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1010 1015 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1011 1016 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1012 1017
1013 1018 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1014 1019
1015 1020 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1016 1021 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1017 1022 Stefan van der Walt.
1018 1023
1019 1024 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1020 1025
1021 1026 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1022 1027 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1023 1028
1024 1029 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1025 1030
1026 1031 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1027 1032 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1028 1033 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1029 1034
1030 1035 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1031 1036
1032 1037 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1033 1038 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1034 1039 attributes.
1035 1040
1036 1041 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1037 1042
1038 1043 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1039 1044 commands into the methods implementing them.
1040 1045
1041 1046 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1042 1047
1043 1048 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1044 1049 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1045 1050 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1046 1051
1047 1052 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1048 1053
1049 1054 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1050 1055 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1051 1056
1052 1057 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1053 1058
1054 1059 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1055 1060 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1056 1061
1057 1062 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1058 1063
1059 1064 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1060 1065 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1061 1066 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1062 1067 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1063 1068 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1064 1069 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1065 1070 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1066 1071 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1067 1072 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1068 1073 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1069 1074 the x key to "delete".
1070 1075
1071 1076 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1072 1077
1073 1078 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1074 1079 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1075 1080 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1076 1081 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1077 1082
1078 1083 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1079 1084 prompt
1080 1085
1081 1086 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1082 1087
1083 1088 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1084 1089
1085 1090 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1086 1091 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1087 1092 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1088 1093 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1089 1094
1090 1095 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1091 1096
1092 1097 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1093 1098 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1094 1099 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1095 1100 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1096 1101 doesn't work properly yet.
1097 1102
1098 1103 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1099 1104
1100 1105 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1101 1106 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1102 1107 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1103 1108
1104 1109 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1105 1110
1106 1111 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1107 1112 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1108 1113 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1109 1114 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1110 1115 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1111 1116 execute commands.
1112 1117
1113 1118 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1114 1119
1115 1120 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1116 1121 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1117 1122
1118 1123 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1119 1124
1120 1125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1121 1126 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1122 1127
1123 1128 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1124 1129
1125 1130 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1126 1131 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1127 1132 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1128 1133
1129 1134 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1130 1135
1131 1136 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1132 1137
1133 1138 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1134 1139 Repo tagged and release cut.
1135 1140
1136 1141 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1137 1142
1138 1143 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1139 1144 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1140 1145
1141 1146 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1142 1147 (for %upgrade)
1143 1148
1144 1149 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1145 1150
1146 1151 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1147 1152 instead of looping 20 times.
1148 1153
1149 1154 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1150 1155 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1151 1156 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1152 1157
1153 1158 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1154 1159 testing for release on 06/06.
1155 1160
1156 1161 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1157 1162
1158 1163 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1159 1164 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1160 1165 live in people's PATH.
1161 1166
1162 1167 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1163 1168 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1164 1169 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1165 1170 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1166 1171 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1167 1172
1168 1173 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1169 1174 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1170 1175
1171 1176 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1172 1177
1173 1178 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1174 1179 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1175 1180
1176 1181 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1177 1182
1178 1183 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1179 1184 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1180 1185 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1181 1186
1182 1187 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1183 1188
1184 1189 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1185 1190 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1186 1191 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1187 1192 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1188 1193
1189 1194 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1190 1195 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1191 1196 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1192 1197 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1193 1198
1194 1199 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1195 1200 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1196 1201 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1197 1202 work.
1198 1203
1199 1204 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1200 1205
1201 1206 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1202 1207 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1203 1208
1204 1209 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1205 1210 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1206 1211 author William Stein.
1207 1212
1208 1213 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1209 1214 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1210 1215 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1211 1216 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1212 1217 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1213 1218 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1214 1219 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1215 1220 objects more easily.
1216 1221
1217 1222 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1218 1223
1219 1224 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1220 1225 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1221 1226 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1222 1227 by Jeffrey Collins.
1223 1228
1224 1229 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1225 1230 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1226 1231 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1227 1232 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1228 1233
1229 1234 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1230 1235 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1231 1236 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1232 1237 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1233 1238
1234 1239 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1235 1240 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1236 1241 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1237 1242 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1238 1243 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1239 1244 compatibility)
1240 1245
1241 1246 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1242 1247 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1243 1248 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1244 1249
1245 1250 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1246 1251 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1247 1252 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1248 1253 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1249 1254 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1250 1255
1251 1256 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1252 1257 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1253 1258 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1254 1259
1255 1260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1256 1261 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1257 1262 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1258 1263 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1259 1264 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1260 1265 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1261 1266 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1262 1267
1263 1268 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1264 1269 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1265 1270 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1266 1271
1267 1272 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1268 1273 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1269 1274 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1270 1275
1271 1276 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1272 1277 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1273 1278
1274 1279 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1275 1280
1276 1281 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1277 1282 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1278 1283 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1279 1284 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1280 1285 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1281 1286 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1282 1287 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1283 1288 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1284 1289 while running under SAGE.
1285 1290
1286 1291 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1287 1292
1288 1293 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1289 1294 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1290 1295 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1291 1296 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1292 1297
1293 1298 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1294 1299
1295 1300 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1296 1301 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1297 1302 updated.
1298 1303
1299 1304 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1300 1305 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1301 1306 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1302 1307 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1303 1308 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1304 1309
1305 1310 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1306 1311 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1307 1312 so more testing is needed...
1308 1313
1309 1314 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1310 1315
1311 1316 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1312 1317 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1313 1318 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1314 1319 when doing complex debugging.
1315 1320 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1316 1321 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1317 1322 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1318 1323 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1319 1324
1320 1325 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1321 1326
1322 1327 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1323 1328 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1324 1329 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1325 1330 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1326 1331
1327 1332 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1328 1333
1329 1334 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1330 1335 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1331 1336
1332 1337 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1333 1338
1334 1339 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1335 1340 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1336 1341 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1337 1342 been the one to acquire it.
1338 1343
1339 1344 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1340 1345
1341 1346 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1342 1347
1343 1348 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1344 1349
1345 1350 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1346 1351 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1347 1352 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1348 1353
1349 1354 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1350 1355 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1351 1356 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1352 1357 properly flush the output cache.
1353 1358
1354 1359 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1355 1360 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1356 1361
1357 1362 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1358 1363
1359 1364 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1360 1365 are quoted
1361 1366
1362 1367 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1363 1368
1364 1369 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1365 1370 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1366 1371
1367 1372 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1368 1373 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1369 1374
1370 1375 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1371 1376
1372 1377 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1373 1378 %upgrade magic
1374 1379
1375 1380 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1376 1381
1377 1382 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1378 1383 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1379 1384 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1380 1385
1381 1386 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1382 1387
1383 1388 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1384 1389 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1385 1390
1386 1391 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1387 1392 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1388 1393 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1389 1394 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1390 1395 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1391 1396
1392 1397 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1393 1398
1394 1399 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1395 1400 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1396 1401
1397 1402 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1398 1403
1399 1404 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1400 1405 Torsten Marek.
1401 1406
1402 1407 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1403 1408
1404 1409 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1405 1410 line ranges works again.
1406 1411
1407 1412 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1408 1413
1409 1414 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1410 1415 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1411 1416 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1412 1417 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1413 1418 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1414 1419
1415 1420 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1416 1421 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1417 1422 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1418 1423 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1419 1424 more.
1420 1425
1421 1426 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1422 1427
1423 1428 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1424 1429 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1425 1430
1426 1431 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1427 1432
1428 1433 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1429 1434 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1430 1435
1431 1436 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1432 1437
1433 1438 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1434 1439
1435 1440 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1436 1441
1437 1442 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1438 1443
1439 1444 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1440 1445 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1441 1446 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1442 1447
1443 1448 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1444 1449
1445 1450 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1446 1451 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1447 1452 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1448 1453 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1449 1454
1450 1455 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1451 1456 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1452 1457
1453 1458 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1454 1459 contributed by marienz to close
1455 1460 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1456 1461
1457 1462 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1458 1463
1459 1464 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1460 1465
1461 1466 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1462 1467 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1463 1468 nonsense.
1464 1469
1465 1470 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1466 1471
1467 1472 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1468 1473 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1469 1474
1470 1475 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1471 1476
1472 1477 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1473 1478
1474 1479 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1475 1480 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1476 1481
1477 1482 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1478 1483
1479 1484 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1480 1485 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1481 1486 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1482 1487 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1483 1488 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1484 1489 SAGE team.
1485 1490 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1486 1491 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1487 1492
1488 1493 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1489 1494 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1490 1495 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1491 1496 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1492 1497 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1493 1498
1494 1499 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1495 1500
1496 1501 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1497 1502 correctly now (on Linux)
1498 1503
1499 1504 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1500 1505 warnings
1501 1506
1502 1507 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1503 1508
1504 1509 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1505 1510
1506 1511
1507 1512 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1508 1513
1509 1514 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1510 1515 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1511 1516 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1512 1517 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1513 1518 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1514 1519 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1515 1520 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1516 1521 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1517 1522
1518 1523 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1519 1524
1520 1525 * aliases can now be %store'd
1521 1526
1522 1527 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1523 1528 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1524 1529 at __init__.
1525 1530
1526 1531 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1527 1532 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1528 1533
1529 1534 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1530 1535
1531 1536 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1532 1537 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1533 1538 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1534 1539
1535 1540 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1536 1541
1537 1542 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1538 1543
1539 1544 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1540 1545
1541 1546 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1542 1547 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1543 1548 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1544 1549 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1545 1550
1546 1551 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1547 1552 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1548 1553
1549 1554 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1550 1555
1551 1556 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1552 1557 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1553 1558 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1554 1559 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1555 1560
1556 1561 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1557 1562 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1558 1563 usage.
1559 1564
1560 1565 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1561 1566 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1562 1567 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1563 1568
1564 1569 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1565 1570
1566 1571 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1567 1572 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1568 1573
1569 1574 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1570 1575 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1571 1576 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1572 1577
1573 1578 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1574 1579
1575 1580 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1576 1581
1577 1582 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1578 1583
1579 1584 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1580 1585 are now more helpful:
1581 1586 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1582 1587
1583 1588 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1584 1589
1585 1590 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1586 1591 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1587 1592
1588 1593 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1589 1594
1590 1595 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1591 1596 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1592 1597
1593 1598 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1594 1599 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1595 1600 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1596 1601
1597 1602 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1598 1603
1599 1604
1600 1605 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1601 1606
1602 1607 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1603 1608 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1604 1609
1605 1610 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1606 1611
1607 1612 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1608 1613 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1609 1614 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1610 1615 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1611 1616 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1612 1617 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1613 1618
1614 1619 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1615 1620
1616 1621 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1617 1622 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1618 1623 \python24\scripts).
1619 1624
1620 1625 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1621 1626 egg.
1622 1627
1623 1628 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1624 1629
1625 1630 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1626 1631
1627 1632 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1628 1633
1629 1634 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1630 1635
1631 1636 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1632 1637
1633 1638 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1634 1639 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1635 1640 \python24\scripts).
1636 1641
1637 1642 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1638 1643 egg.
1639 1644
1640 1645 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1641 1646
1642 1647 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1643 1648 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1644 1649 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1645 1650
1646 1651 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1647 1652 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1648 1653 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1649 1654 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1650 1655
1651 1656 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1652 1657 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1653 1658 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1654 1659 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1655 1660 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1656 1661 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1657 1662 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1658 1663 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1659 1664 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1660 1665 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1661 1666 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1662 1667 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1663 1668
1664 1669 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1665 1670
1666 1671 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1667 1672 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1668 1673 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1669 1674 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1670 1675
1671 1676 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1672 1677
1673 1678 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1674 1679 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1675 1680 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1676 1681 importing extensions easy.
1677 1682
1678 1683 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1679 1684 classes / instances of those classes.
1680 1685
1681 1686 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1682 1687 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1683 1688 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1684 1689 the user.
1685 1690
1686 1691 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1687 1692 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1688 1693 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1689 1694
1690 1695 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1691 1696
1692 1697 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1693 1698 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1694 1699 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1695 1700 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1696 1701 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1697 1702 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1698 1703 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1699 1704 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1700 1705 the method.
1701 1706
1702 1707 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1703 1708
1704 1709 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1705 1710 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1706 1711
1707 1712 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1708 1713
1709 1714 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1710 1715 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1711 1716 Vivian.
1712 1717
1713 1718 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1714 1719 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1715 1720 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1716 1721 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1717 1722 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1718 1723
1719 1724 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1720 1725
1721 1726 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1722 1727 that returns file contents on exit.
1723 1728
1724 1729 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1725 1730 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1726 1731 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1727 1732 sc files=ls
1728 1733 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1729 1734 print p,p.mtime
1730 1735
1731 1736 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1732 1737 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1733 1738 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1734 1739 instead of syntax error.
1735 1740
1736 1741
1737 1742 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1738 1743
1739 1744 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1740 1745 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1741 1746 data.
1742 1747
1743 1748 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1744 1749 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1745 1750 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1746 1751 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1747 1752
1748 1753 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1749 1754 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1750 1755 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1751 1756 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1752 1757 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1753 1758 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1754 1759
1755 1760 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1756 1761
1757 1762 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1758 1763 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1759 1764 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1760 1765 current dir.
1761 1766
1762 1767 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1763 1768 had to create new files.
1764 1769
1765 1770 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1766 1771 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1767 1772 future.
1768 1773
1769 1774 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1770 1775 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1771 1776 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1772 1777
1773 1778
1774 1779 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1775 1780
1776 1781 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1777 1782 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1778 1783 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1779 1784 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1780 1785 later.
1781 1786
1782 1787 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1783 1788 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1784 1789
1785 1790 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1786 1791
1787 1792 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1788 1793 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1789 1794 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1790 1795 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1791 1796 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1792 1797 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1793 1798
1794 1799 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1795 1800
1796 1801 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1797 1802 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1798 1803 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1799 1804 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1800 1805 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1801 1806 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1802 1807 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1803 1808 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1804 1809 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1805 1810 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1806 1811
1807 1812 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1808 1813 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1809 1814 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1810 1815 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1811 1816
1812 1817 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1813 1818 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1814 1819 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1815 1820 "setup.py install" between changes).
1816 1821
1817 1822 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1818 1823 if 1:
1819 1824 !ls
1820 1825 !!ls
1821 1826
1822 1827 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1823 1828
1824 1829 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1825 1830 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1826 1831 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1827 1832 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1828 1833
1829 1834 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1830 1835 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1831 1836 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.

1835 1840 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1836 1841 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1837 1842 win32.
1838 1843
1839 1844 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1840 1845
1841 1846 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1842 1847
1843 1848 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1844 1849 ready for release.
1845 1850
1846 1851 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1847 1852 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1848 1853 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1849 1854 where to copy the info from.
1850 1855
1851 1856 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1852 1857
1853 1858 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1854 1859 support in the release tools as well.
1855 1860
1856 1861 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1857 1862
1858 1863 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1859 1864 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1860 1865 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1861 1866 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1862 1867
1863 1868 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1864 1869 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1865 1870 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1866 1871
1867 1872 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1868 1873 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1869 1874
1870 1875 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1871 1876 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1872 1877 printer not to work.
1873 1878
1874 1879 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1875 1880
1876 1881 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1877 1882 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1878 1883
1879 1884 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1880 1885
1881 1886 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1882 1887 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1883 1888 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1884 1889
1885 1890 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1886 1891 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1887 1892 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1888 1893
1889 1894 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1890 1895 Ville's patch.
1891 1896
1892 1897 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1893 1898
1894 1899 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1895 1900 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1896 1901 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1897 1902 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1898 1903 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1899 1904 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1900 1905 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1901 1906
1902 1907 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1903 1908 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1904 1909 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1905 1910
1906 1911 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1907 1912
1908 1913 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1909 1914 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1910 1915
1911 1916 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1912 1917 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1913 1918 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1914 1919 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1915 1920 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1916 1921 twister).
1917 1922
1918 1923 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1919 1924 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1920 1925 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1921 1926
1922 1927 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1923 1928 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1924 1929 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1925 1930 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1926 1931 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1927 1932 something inside the dis module.
1928 1933
1929 1934 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1930 1935
1931 1936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1932 1937 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1933 1938 follows the discussion in
1934 1939 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1935 1940
1936 1941 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1937 1942 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1938 1943 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1939 1944
1940 1945 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1941 1946 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1942 1947 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1943 1948
1944 1949 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1945 1950 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1946 1951 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1947 1952 speed up this routine.
1948 1953
1949 1954 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1950 1955 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1951 1956 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1952 1957 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1953 1958 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1954 1959 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1955 1960 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1956 1961 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1957 1962
1958 1963 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1959 1964 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1960 1965 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1961 1966
1962 1967 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1963 1968 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1964 1969 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1965 1970 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1966 1971 setters don't do anything).
1967 1972
1968 1973 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1969 1974
1970 1975 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1971 1976 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1972 1977 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1973 1978 falling out of sync...)
1974 1979
1975 1980 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1976 1981 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1977 1982 as loops).
1978 1983
1979 1984 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1980 1985 win32 system access.
1981 1986
1982 1987 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1983 1988
1984 1989 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1985 1990 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1986 1991 thread-safe.
1987 1992 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1988 1993 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1989 1994 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1990 1995 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1991 1996 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1992 1997 can still happen.
1993 1998 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1994 1999 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1995 2000 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1996 2001 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1997 2002 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1998 2003 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1999 2004 cleanly.
2000 2005
2001 2006 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2002 2007 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2003 2008 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2004 2009 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2005 2010 users' persisted data.
2006 2011
2007 2012 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2008 2013 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2009 2014 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2010 2015 multiline input (such as macros).
2011 2016
2012 2017 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2013 2018 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2014 2019 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2015 2020 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2016 2021 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2017 2022 informative).
2018 2023
2019 2024 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2020 2025 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2021 2026
2022 2027 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2023 2028 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2024 2029 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2025 2030
2026 2031 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2027 2032 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2028 2033 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2029 2034 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2030 2035 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2031 2036 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2032 2037 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2033 2038 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2034 2039 details.
2035 2040
2036 2041 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2037 2042 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2038 2043 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2039 2044 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2040 2045 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2041 2046
2042 2047 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2043 2048 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2044 2049 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2045 2050 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2046 2051 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2047 2052
2048 2053 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2049 2054 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2050 2055 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2051 2056 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2052 2057 options to %logstart. Closes
2053 2058 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2054 2059 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2055 2060
2056 2061 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2057 2062
2058 2063 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2059 2064 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2060 2065 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2061 2066 list:
2062 2067 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2063 2068
2064 2069 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2065 2070
2066 2071 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2067 2072 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2068 2073 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2069 2074 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2070 2075
2071 2076 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2072 2077 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2073 2078 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2074 2079 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2075 2080 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2076 2081
2077 2082 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2078 2083 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2079 2084 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2080 2085 true by default.
2081 2086
2082 2087 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2083 2088 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2084 2089 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2085 2090 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2086 2091
2087 2092 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2088 2093
2089 2094 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2090 2095 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2091 2096 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2092 2097 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2093 2098 version committed).
2094 2099
2095 2100 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2096 2101 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2097 2102 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2098 2103 discussion on the user list.
2099 2104
2100 2105 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2101 2106 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2102 2107 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2103 2108 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2104 2109
2105 2110 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2106 2111
2107 2112 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2108 2113 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2109 2114 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2110 2115
2111 2116 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2112 2117 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2113 2118 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2114 2119
2115 2120 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2116 2121 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2117 2122 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2118 2123 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2119 2124 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2120 2125 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2121 2126 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2122 2127 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2123 2128 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2124 2129 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2125 2130 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2126 2131 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2127 2132 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2128 2133 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2129 2134 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2130 2135 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2131 2136 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2132 2137 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2133 2138 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2134 2139 branch refactoring.
2135 2140
2136 2141 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2137 2142
2138 2143 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2139 2144 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2140 2145
2141 2146 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2142 2147 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2143 2148 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2144 2149 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2145 2150 worked correctly).
2146 2151
2147 2152 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2148 2153 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2149 2154 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2150 2155
2151 2156 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2152 2157
2153 2158 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2154 2159 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2155 2160 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2156 2161 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2157 2162 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2158 2163 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2159 2164 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2160 2165 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2161 2166
2162 2167 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2163 2168
2164 2169 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2165 2170 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2166 2171 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2167 2172 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2168 2173 on this.
2169 2174
2170 2175 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2171 2176
2172 2177 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2173 2178 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2174 2179 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2175 2180 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2176 2181 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2177 2182
2178 2183 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2179 2184
2180 2185 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2181 2186 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2182 2187 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2183 2188 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.

2187 2192 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2188 2193 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2189 2194 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2190 2195
2191 2196 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2192 2197
2193 2198 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2194 2199 startup time.
2195 2200
2196 2201 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2197 2202 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2198 2203 it's working in all cases.
2199 2204
2200 2205 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2201 2206 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2202 2207 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2203 2208 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2204 2209 per-search basis.
2205 2210
2206 2211 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2207 2212
2208 2213 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2209 2214 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2210 2215 of a patch by Jorgen.
2211 2216
2212 2217 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2213 2218
2214 2219 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2215 2220 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2216 2221 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2217 2222
2218 2223 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2219 2224
2220 2225 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2221 2226 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2222 2227 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2223 2228 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2224 2229
2225 2230 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2226 2231
2227 2232 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2228 2233 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2229 2234 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2230 2235 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2231 2236 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2232 2237 implementing this functionality.
2233 2238
2234 2239 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2235 2240
2236 2241 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2237 2242 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2238 2243 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2239 2244 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2240 2245 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2241 2246 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2242 2247 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2243 2248
2244 2249 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2245 2250
2246 2251 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2247 2252 reported by Stephen Walton.
2248 2253
2249 2254 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2250 2255
2251 2256 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2252 2257
2253 2258 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2254 2259 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2255 2260
2256 2261 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2257 2262
2258 2263 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2259 2264 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2260 2265
2261 2266 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2262 2267 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2263 2268
2264 2269 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2265 2270
2266 2271 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2267 2272 finishing.
2268 2273
2269 2274 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2270 2275 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2271 2276
2272 2277 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2273 2278 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2274 2279 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2275 2280
2276 2281 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2277 2282 code, handy in general.
2278 2283
2279 2284 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2280 2285 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2281 2286 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2282 2287
2283 2288 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2284 2289
2285 2290 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2286 2291 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2287 2292 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2288 2293 testing, though.
2289 2294 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2290 2295 like this before...
2291 2296
2292 2297 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2293 2298 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2294 2299
2295 2300 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2296 2301 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2297 2302
2298 2303 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2299 2304
2300 2305 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2301 2306 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2302 2307 F. Mantegazza.
2303 2308
2304 2309 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2305 2310
2306 2311 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2307 2312 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2308 2313 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2309 2314
2310 2315 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2311 2316 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2312 2317 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2313 2318 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2314 2319 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2315 2320 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2316 2321
2317 2322 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2318 2323
2319 2324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2320 2325 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2321 2326 beyond readline-based environments.
2322 2327
2323 2328 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2324 2329
2325 2330 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2326 2331
2327 2332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2328 2333 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2329 2334 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2330 2335 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2331 2336 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2332 2337
2333 2338 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2334 2339
2335 2340 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2336 2341 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2337 2342 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2338 2343
2339 2344 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2340 2345
2341 2346 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2342 2347
2343 2348 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2344 2349
2345 2350 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2346 2351 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2347 2352 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2348 2353 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2349 2354 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2350 2355 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2351 2356
2352 2357 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2353 2358
2354 2359 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2355 2360
2356 2361 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2357 2362
2358 2363 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2359 2364 invalid $HOME under win32.
2360 2365
2361 2366 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2362 2367
2363 2368 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2364 2369 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2365 2370 simpler and a bit faster.
2366 2371
2367 2372 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2368 2373 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2369 2374 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2370 2375 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2371 2376 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2372 2377
2373 2378 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2374 2379 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2375 2380 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2376 2381
2377 2382 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2378 2383 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2379 2384
2380 2385 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2381 2386 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2382 2387 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2383 2388 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2384 2389 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2385 2390 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2386 2391 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2387 2392
2388 2393 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2389 2394
2390 2395 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2391 2396
2392 2397 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2393 2398
2394 2399 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2395 2400 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2396 2401
2397 2402 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2398 2403
2399 2404 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2400 2405 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2401 2406 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2402 2407 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2403 2408 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2404 2409 for the contribution.
2405 2410
2406 2411 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2407 2412 slightly modified version of the patch in
2408 2413 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2409 2414 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2410 2415 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2411 2416
2412 2417 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2413 2418
2414 2419 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2415 2420 I/O a bit more.
2416 2421
2417 2422 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2418 2423 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2419 2424
2420 2425 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2421 2426
2422 2427 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2423 2428
2424 2429 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2425 2430 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2426 2431 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2427 2432 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2428 2433
2429 2434 readline_remove_delims -/~
2430 2435
2431 2436
2432 2437 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2433 2438
2434 2439 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2435 2440
2436 2441 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2437 2442 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2438 2443 <eli@gondolin.net>
2439 2444
2440 2445 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2441 2446
2442 2447 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2443 2448 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2444 2449
2445 2450 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2446 2451
2447 2452 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2448 2453 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2449 2454 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2450 2455
2451 2456 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2452 2457
2453 2458 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2454 2459 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2455 2460
2456 2461 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2457 2462
2458 2463 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2459 2464 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2460 2465
2461 2466 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2462 2467 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2463 2468 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2464 2469 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2465 2470 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2466 2471 for more details.
2467 2472
2468 2473 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2469 2474 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2470 2475 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2471 2476 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2472 2477
2473 2478 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2474 2479
2475 2480 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2476 2481 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2477 2482 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2478 2483 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2479 2484 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2480 2485
2481 2486 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2482 2487 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2483 2488 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2484 2489
2485 2490 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2486 2491
2487 2492 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2488 2493
2489 2494 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2490 2495
2491 2496 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2492 2497 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2493 2498 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2494 2499 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2495 2500 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2496 2501
2497 2502 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2498 2503
2499 2504 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2500 2505
2501 2506 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2502 2507 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2503 2508 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2504 2509 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2505 2510 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2506 2511
2507 2512 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2508 2513 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2509 2514 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2510 2515 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2511 2516 take the text parameter.
2512 2517
2513 2518 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2514 2519 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2515 2520 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2516 2521 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2517 2522 pysh profile to include the line
2518 2523
2519 2524 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2520 2525
2521 2526 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2522 2527 delete pysh.py and the line
2523 2528
2524 2529 execfile pysh.py
2525 2530
2526 2531 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2527 2532
2528 2533 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2529 2534 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2530 2535 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2531 2536 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2532 2537 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2533 2538
2534 2539 * pysh.py:
2535 2540
2536 2541 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2537 2542
2538 2543 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2539 2544 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2540 2545 want it can still turn it off.
2541 2546
2542 2547 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2543 2548 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2544 2549 off by default.
2545 2550
2546 2551 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2547 2552 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2548 2553 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2549 2554 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2550 2555 calls.

2552 2557 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2553 2558
2554 2559 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2555 2560 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2556 2561 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2557 2562
2558 2563 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2559 2564
2560 2565 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2561 2566 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2562 2567 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2563 2568 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2564 2569
2565 2570 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2566 2571 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2567 2572 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2568 2573 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2569 2574
2570 2575 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2571 2576
2572 2577 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2573 2578 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2574 2579
2575 2580 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2576 2581 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2577 2582 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2578 2583 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2579 2584 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2580 2585 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2581 2586 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2582 2587 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2583 2588
2584 2589 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2585 2590
2586 2591 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2587 2592 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2588 2593 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2589 2594 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2590 2595 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2591 2596 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2592 2597 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2593 2598 add new completers at runtime.
2594 2599
2595 2600 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2596 2601
2597 2602 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2598 2603 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2599 2604 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2600 2605 ? system.
2601 2606
2602 2607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2603 2608 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2604 2609 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2605 2610 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2606 2611 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2607 2612 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2608 2613 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2609 2614 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2610 2615
2611 2616 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2612 2617
2613 2618 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2614 2619 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2615 2620 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2616 2621 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2617 2622 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2618 2623
2619 2624 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2620 2625 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2621 2626 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2622 2627 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2623 2628 add:
2624 2629
2625 2630 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2626 2631 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2627 2632
2628 2633 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2629 2634
2630 2635 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2631 2636 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2632 2637 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2633 2638 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2634 2639
2635 2640 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2636 2641 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2637 2642 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2638 2643 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2639 2644 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2640 2645 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2641 2646 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2642 2647 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2643 2648 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2644 2649
2645 2650 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2646 2651
2647 2652 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2648 2653 prompt namespace handling.
2649 2654
2650 2655 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2651 2656
2652 2657 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2653 2658 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2654 2659 trips the emacs python mode).
2655 2660 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2656 2661 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2657 2662 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2658 2663 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2659 2664 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2660 2665 calls will be made at runtime.
2661 2666
2662 2667 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2663 2668
2664 2669 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2665 2670 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2666 2671 the call to %history.
2667 2672
2668 2673 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2669 2674
2670 2675 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2671 2676
2672 2677 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2673 2678 ipmagic() function calls.
2674 2679
2675 2680 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2676 2681 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2677 2682
2678 2683 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2679 2684
2680 2685 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2681 2686 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2682 2687 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2683 2688 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2684 2689 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2685 2690 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2686 2691 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2687 2692 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2688 2693
2689 2694 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2690 2695
2691 2696 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2692 2697 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2693 2698 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2694 2699 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2695 2700 Ville Vainio.
2696 2701
2697 2702 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2698 2703
2699 2704 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2700 2705 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2701 2706 define the ones they personally like.
2702 2707
2703 2708 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2709
2705 2710 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2706 2711 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2707 2712
2708 2713 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2709 2714
2710 2715 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2711 2716 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2712 2717
2713 2718 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2714 2719 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2715 2720 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2716 2721 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2717 2722 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2718 2723 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2719 2724 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2720 2725 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2721 2726
2722 2727 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2723 2728 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2724 2729 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2725 2730 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2726 2731 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2727 2732
2728 2733 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2729 2734
2730 2735 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2731 2736 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2732 2737 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2733 2738
2734 2739 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2735 2740 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2736 2741 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2737 2742
2738 2743 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2739 2744
2740 2745 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2741 2746
2742 2747 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2743 2748 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2744 2749 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2745 2750 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2746 2751 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2747 2752 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2748 2753 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2749 2754 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2750 2755 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2751 2756 system is a separate implementation).
2752 2757
2753 2758 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2754 2759 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2755 2760 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2756 2761 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2757 2762 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2758 2763 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2759 2764 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2760 2765 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2761 2766 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2762 2767 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2763 2768 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2764 2769
2765 2770 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2766 2771
2767 2772 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2768 2773 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2769 2774 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2770 2775 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2771 2776 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2772 2777 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2773 2778 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2774 2779 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2775 2780
2776 2781 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2777 2782
2778 2783 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2779 2784 previous call produced a syntax error.
2780 2785
2781 2786 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2782 2787 classes without constructor.
2783 2788
2784 2789 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2785 2790
2786 2791 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2787 2792 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2788 2793 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2789 2794 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2790 2795 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2791 2796 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2792 2797 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2793 2798
2794 2799 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2795 2800
2796 2801 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2797 2802 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2798 2803
2799 2804 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2800 2805
2801 2806 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2802 2807 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2803 2808 optimizations.
2804 2809
2805 2810 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2806 2811 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2807 2812
2808 2813 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2809 2814
2810 2815 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2811 2816 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2812 2817 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2813 2818 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2814 2819 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2815 2820 avoid annoying the lists further.
2816 2821
2817 2822 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10

2819 2824 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2820 2825
2821 2826 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2822 2827 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2823 2828 norm definitions.
2824 2829 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2825 2830 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2826 2831 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2827 2832
2828 2833 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2829 2834 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2830 2835 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2831 2836 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2832 2837 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2833 2838
2834 2839 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2835 2840 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2836 2841 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2837 2842 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2838 2843
2839 2844 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2840 2845 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2841 2846 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2842 2847 fixes.
2843 2848
2844 2849 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2845 2850 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2846 2851 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2847 2852 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2848 2853 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2849 2854 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2850 2855 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2851 2856
2852 2857 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9

2854 2859 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2855 2860
2856 2861 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2857 2862 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2858 2863 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2859 2864 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2860 2865 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2861 2866 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2862 2867 Panel.
2863 2868
2864 2869 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2865 2870 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2866 2871 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2867 2872 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2868 2873 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2869 2874
2870 2875 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2871 2876
2872 2877 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2873 2878 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2874 2879
2875 2880 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8

2877 2882 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2878 2883
2879 2884 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2880 2885 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2881 2886 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2882 2887 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2883 2888 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2884 2889 python shell.
2885 2890
2886 2891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2887 2892 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2888 2893 on assignments. This closes
2889 2894 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2890 2895 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2891 2896 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2893 2898 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2894 2899
2895 2900 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2896 2901 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2897 2902
2898 2903 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2899 2904
2900 2905 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2901 2906
2902 2907 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2903 2908 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2904 2909
2905 2910 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2906 2911
2907 2912 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2908 2913 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2909 2914 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2910 2915
2911 2916 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2912 2917
2913 2918 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2914 2919 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2915 2920 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2916 2921
2917 2922 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2918 2923
2919 2924 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2920 2925 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2921 2926 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2922 2927
2923 2928 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2924 2929 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2925 2930 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2926 2931
2927 2932 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2928 2933
2929 2934 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2930 2935 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2931 2936
2932 2937 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2933 2938
2934 2939 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2935 2940 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2936 2941 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2937 2942
2938 2943 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2944
2940 2945 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2941 2946 reported by Prabhu.
2942 2947 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2943 2948 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2944 2949 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2945 2950
2946 2951 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2947 2952 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2948 2953
2949 2954 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2950 2955 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2951 2956 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2952 2957 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2953 2958 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2954 2959 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2955 2960
2956 2961 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2957 2962
2958 2963 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2959 2964
2960 2965 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2961 2966 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2962 2967 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2963 2968 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2964 2969
2965 2970 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2966 2971 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2967 2972
2968 2973 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2969 2974 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2970 2975 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2971 2976 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2972 2977 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2973 2978 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2974 2979 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2975 2980
2976 2981 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2977 2982 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2978 2983 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2979 2984
2980 2985 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2981 2986 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2982 2987 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2983 2988 before.
2984 2989
2985 2990 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2986 2991
2987 2992 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2988 2993 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2989 2994 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2990 2995 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2991 2996
2992 2997 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2993 2998 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2994 2999 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2995 3000 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2996 3001 timing very short-running code.
2997 3002
2998 3003 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2999 3004 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3000 3005 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3001 3006 utility.
3002 3007
3003 3008 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3004 3009 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3005 3010 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3006 3011 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3007 3012 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3008 3013 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3009 3014 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3010 3015 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3011 3016
3012 3017 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3013 3018 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3014 3019 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3015 3020
3016 3021 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3017 3022 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3018 3023 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3019 3024 is for).
3020 3025
3021 3026 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3022 3027 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3023 3028 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3024 3029 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3025 3030 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3026 3031
3027 3032 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3028 3033
3029 3034 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3030 3035 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3031 3036 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3032 3037 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3033 3038 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3034 3039
3035 3040 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3036 3041 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3037 3042 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3038 3043 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3039 3044 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3040 3045 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3041 3046
3042 3047 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3043 3048
3044 3049 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3045 3050 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3046 3051
3047 3052 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3048 3053
3049 3054 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3050 3055 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3051 3056 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3052 3057 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3053 3058
3054 3059 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3055 3060
3056 3061 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3057 3062
3058 3063 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3059 3064 setting with -d option.
3060 3065
3061 3066 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3062 3067 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3063 3068 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3064 3069 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3065 3070
3066 3071 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3067 3072
3068 3073 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3069 3074 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3070 3075
3071 3076 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3072 3077 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3073 3078 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3074 3079 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3075 3080 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3076 3081 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3077 3082 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3078 3083 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3079 3084 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3080 3085 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3081 3086 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3082 3087
3083 3088 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3084 3089
3085 3090 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3086 3091 cache when empty lines were present.
3087 3092
3088 3093 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3094
3090 3095 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3091 3096 options for WX and GTK.
3092 3097
3093 3098 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3094 3099
3095 3100 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3096 3101 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3097 3102 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3098 3103 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3099 3104 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3100 3105 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3101 3106 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3102 3107
3103 3108 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3104 3109 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3105 3110
3106 3111 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3107 3112
3108 3113 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3109 3114 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3110 3115 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3111 3116 many thanks.
3112 3117
3113 3118 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3114 3119 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3115 3120 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3116 3121
3117 3122 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3118 3123
3119 3124 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3120 3125 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3121 3126 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3122 3127
3123 3128 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3124 3129
3125 3130 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3126 3131
3127 3132 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3128 3133 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3129 3134 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3130 3135
3131 3136 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3132 3137
3133 3138 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3134 3139 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3135 3140
3136 3141 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3137 3142
3138 3143 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3139 3144 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3140 3145 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3141 3146 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3142 3147 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3143 3148 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3144 3149 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3145 3150
3146 3151 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3147 3152
3148 3153 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3149 3154 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3150 3155 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3151 3156 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3152 3157
3153 3158 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3154 3159 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3155 3160
3156 3161 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3157 3162
3158 3163 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3159 3164 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3160 3165
3161 3166 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3162 3167 use throughout ipython.
3163 3168
3164 3169 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3165 3170 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3166 3171
3167 3172 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3168 3173 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3169 3174 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3170 3175 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3171 3176
3172 3177 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3173 3178
3174 3179 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3175 3180 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3176 3181 report by Francesc Alted.
3177 3182
3178 3183 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3179 3184
3180 3185 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3181 3186 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3182 3187
3183 3188 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3184 3189
3185 3190 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3186 3191 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3187 3192 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3188 3193 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3189 3194 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3190 3195 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3191 3196 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3192 3197 correctly set.
3193 3198
3194 3199 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3195 3200
3196 3201 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3197 3202 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3198 3203 import requirement of PEP-328.
3199 3204
3200 3205 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3201 3206 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3202 3207 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3203 3208 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3204 3209
3205 3210 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3206 3211
3207 3212 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3208 3213
3209 3214 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3210 3215 via a normal python function call.
3211 3216
3212 3217 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3213 3218 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3214 3219 2.4.
3215 3220
3216 3221 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3217 3222
3218 3223 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3219 3224 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3220 3225 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3221 3226 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3222 3227 is given to the user).
3223 3228
3224 3229 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3225 3230
3226 3231 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3227 3232 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3228 3233 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3229 3234 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3230 3235
3231 3236 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3232 3237 python 2.2.
3233 3238
3234 3239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3235 3240 banner arg for embedded customization.
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3238 3243 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3239 3244 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3240 3245 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3241 3246 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3242 3247 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3243 3248
3244 3249 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3245 3250 minor changes to debian dir.
3246 3251
3247 3252 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3248 3253 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3249 3254 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3250 3255 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).

3252 3257 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3253 3258
3254 3259 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3255 3260 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3256 3261 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3257 3262 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3258 3263 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3259 3264
3260 3265 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3261 3266
3262 3267 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3263 3268 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3264 3269
3265 3270 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3266 3271
3267 3272 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3268 3273 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3269 3274
3270 3275 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3271 3276
3272 3277 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3273 3278
3274 3279 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3275 3280 updated.
3276 3281
3277 3282 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3278 3283
3279 3284 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3280 3285 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3281 3286 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3282 3287 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3283 3288 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3284 3289
3285 3290 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3286 3291 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3287 3292 split regexp. Closes
3288 3293 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3289 3294 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3290 3295 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3291 3296 extensions.
3292 3297
3293 3298 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3294 3299 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3295 3300 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3296 3301 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3297 3302 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3298 3303
3299 3304 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3300 3305 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3301 3306 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3302 3307 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3303 3308
3304 3309 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3305 3310 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3306 3311
3307 3312 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3308 3313 fine-tune banner.
3309 3314
3310 3315 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3311 3316 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3312 3317
3313 3318 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3314 3319
3315 3320 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3316 3321 were missing.
3317 3322
3318 3323 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3319 3324 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3320 3325 valid at the command line.
3321 3326
3322 3327 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3323 3328 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3324 3329
3325 3330 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3326 3331
3327 3332 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3328 3333 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3329 3334 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3330 3335
3331 3336 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3332 3337
3333 3338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3334 3339 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3335 3340 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3336 3341 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3337 3342 continue to use the standard profiler.
3338 3343
3339 3344 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3340 3345
3341 3346 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3342 3347 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3343 3348 close.
3344 3349
3345 3350 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3346 3351
3347 3352 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3348 3353 in Magic and ultraTB.
3349 3354
3350 3355 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3351 3356
3352 3357 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3353 3358 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3354 3359 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3355 3360 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3356 3361
3357 3362 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3358 3363 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3359 3364 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3360 3365 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3361 3366 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3362 3367 infrastructure in place.
3363 3368
3364 3369 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3365 3370
3366 3371 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3367 3372
3368 3373 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3369 3374 the pylab profile.
3370 3375
3371 3376 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3372 3377
3373 3378 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3374 3379
3375 3380 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3376 3381 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3377 3382 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3378 3383 itself.
3379 3384
3380 3385 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3381 3386 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3382 3387 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3383 3388 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3384 3389 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3385 3390 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3386 3391 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3387 3392 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3388 3393
3389 3394 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3390 3395 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3391 3396
3392 3397 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3393 3398
3394 3399 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3395 3400 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3396 3401 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3397 3402
3398 3403 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3399 3404
3400 3405 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3401 3406 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3402 3407
3403 3408 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3404 3409
3405 3410 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3406 3411
3407 3412 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3408 3413
3409 3414 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3415
3411 3416 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3412 3417 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3413 3418 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3414 3419
3415 3420 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3416 3421
3417 3422 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3418 3423 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3419 3424 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3420 3425 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3421 3426 works.
3422 3427
3423 3428 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3424 3429 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3425 3430 practice.
3426 3431
3427 3432 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3428 3433
3429 3434 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3430 3435 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3431 3436 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3432 3437
3433 3438 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3434 3439
3435 3440 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3436 3441 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3437 3442 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3438 3443 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3439 3444
3440 3445 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3441 3446
3442 3447 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3443 3448 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3444 3449 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3445 3450 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3446 3451
3447 3452 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3448 3453
3449 3454 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3450 3455
3451 3456 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3452 3457 fail for any number.
3453 3458 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3454 3459 empty bookmarks.
3455 3460
3456 3461 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3457 3462
3458 3463 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3464
3460 3465 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3461 3466
3462 3467 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3463 3468 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3464 3469
3465 3470 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3466 3471 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3467 3472
3468 3473 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3469 3474
3470 3475 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3471 3476 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3472 3477 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3473 3478 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3474 3479 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3475 3480
3476 3481 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3477 3482
3478 3483 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3479 3484 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3480 3485
3481 3486 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3482 3487
3483 3488 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3484 3489 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3485 3490 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3486 3491 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3487 3492
3488 3493 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3489 3494 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3490 3495 Schmolck.
3491 3496
3492 3497 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3493 3498
3494 3499 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3495 3500
3496 3501 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3497 3502 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3498 3503
3499 3504 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3500 3505 optimizations.
3501 3506
3502 3507 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3503 3508 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3504 3509
3505 3510 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3506 3511 --Started changelog.
3507 3512 --make clear do what it say it does
3508 3513 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3509 3514 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3510 3515 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3511 3516 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3512 3517 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3513 3518 can be done for other cases.
3514 3519 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3515 3520 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3516 3521 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3517 3522
3518 3523 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3519 3524 --added logfile rotation
3520 3525 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3521 3526
3522 3527 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3523 3528 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3524 3529 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3525 3530 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3526 3531 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3527 3532 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3528 3533 --added global logfile option
3529 3534 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3530 3535 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3531 3536
3532 3537 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3533 3538 --added a README
3534 3539 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3535 3540 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3536 3541 bug or feature.
3537 3542 --changed rc file for new behavior
3538 3543
3539 3544 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3540 3545
3541 3546 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3542 3547 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3543 3548 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3544 3549
3545 3550 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3546 3551 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3547 3552
3548 3553 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3549 3554
3550 3555 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3551 3556 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3552 3557 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3553 3558 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3554 3559 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3555 3560 and prepended with a #.
3556 3561
3557 3562 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3558 3563 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3559 3564
3560 3565 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3561 3566
3562 3567 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3563 3568 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3564 3569
3565 3570 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3566 3571
3567 3572 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3568 3573 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3569 3574
3570 3575 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3571 3576
3572 3577 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3573 3578 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3574 3579 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3575 3580
3576 3581 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3577 3582
3578 3583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3579 3584 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3580 3585
3581 3586 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3582 3587 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3583 3588 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3584 3589 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3585 3590 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3586 3591 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3587 3592 be implemented later).
3588 3593
3589 3594 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3590 3595 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3591 3596 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3592 3597 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3593 3598
3594 3599 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3595 3600 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3596 3601 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3597 3602
3598 3603 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3599 3604 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3600 3605
3601 3606 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3602 3607 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3603 3608 readline make it impossible to go further.
3604 3609
3605 3610 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3606 3611
3607 3612 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3608 3613 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3609 3614
3610 3615 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3611 3616
3612 3617 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3613 3618 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3614 3619 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3615 3620 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3616 3621
3617 3622 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3618 3623 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3619 3624 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3620 3625 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3621 3626
3622 3627 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3623 3628 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3624 3629 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3625 3630 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3626 3631 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3627 3632 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3628 3633 problem.
3629 3634
3630 3635 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3631 3636 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3632 3637
3633 3638 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3634 3639 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3635 3640 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3636 3641
3637 3642 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3638 3643
3639 3644 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3640 3645 continue prompts.
3641 3646
3642 3647 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3643 3648 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3644 3649 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3645 3650 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3646 3651 byte-compilation saves time.
3647 3652
3648 3653 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3649 3654
3650 3655 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3651 3656 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3652 3657
3653 3658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3654 3659 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3655 3660
3656 3661 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3657 3662 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3658 3663 common cases where it's a problem.
3659 3664
3660 3665 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3661 3666
3662 3667 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3663 3668 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3664 3669 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3665 3670 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3666 3671 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3667 3672 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3668 3673
3669 3674 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3670 3675
3671 3676 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3672 3677 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3673 3678
3674 3679 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3675 3680 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3676 3681 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3677 3682 structure as win_exec_ext.
3678 3683
3679 3684 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3680 3685 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3681 3686
3682 3687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3683 3688 delete aliases.
3684 3689
3685 3690 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3686 3691 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3687 3692
3688 3693 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3689 3694
3690 3695 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3691 3696 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3692 3697
3693 3698 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3694 3699
3695 3700 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3696 3701 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3697 3702
3698 3703 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3699 3704 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3700 3705
3701 3706 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3702 3707 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3703 3708 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3704 3709 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3705 3710 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3706 3711 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3707 3712
3708 3713 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3709 3714 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3710 3715 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3711 3716
3712 3717 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3713 3718 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3714 3719 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3715 3720
3716 3721 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3717 3722 via an extra $. For example:
3718 3723
3719 3724 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3720 3725
3721 3726 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3722 3727 a python variable
3723 3728
3724 3729 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3725 3730 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3726 3731
3727 3732 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3728 3733 things prematurely.
3729 3734
3730 3735 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3731 3736 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3732 3737
3733 3738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3734 3739 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3735 3740 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3736 3741 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3737 3742 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3738 3743 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3739 3744 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3740 3745 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3741 3746
3742 3747 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3743 3748 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3744 3749 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3745 3750 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3746 3751 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3747 3752 with the old system).
3748 3753
3749 3754 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3750 3755
3751 3756 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3752 3757 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3753 3758
3754 3759 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3755 3760 call to eval.
3756 3761 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3757 3762 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3758 3763 in.
3759 3764
3760 3765 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3761 3766
3762 3767 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3763 3768 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3764 3769 confusion).
3765 3770
3766 3771 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3767 3772 check for Windows users.
3768 3773
3769 3774 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3770 3775 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3771 3776 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3772 3777 download it.
3773 3778
3774 3779 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3775 3780
3776 3781 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3777 3782 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3778 3783 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3779 3784 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3780 3785 of IDLE's out).
3781 3786
3782 3787 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3783 3788 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3784 3789 eventually.
3785 3790 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3786 3791
3787 3792 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3788 3793
3789 3794 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3790 3795 list of auto-defined aliases.
3791 3796
3792 3797 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3793 3798
3794 3799 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3795 3800 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3796 3801 things under Windows).
3797 3802
3798 3803 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3799 3804
3800 3805 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3801 3806 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3802 3807 reported by Thorsten.
3803 3808
3804 3809 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3805 3810
3806 3811 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3807 3812 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3808 3813 for all examples and the manual as well.
3809 3814
3810 3815 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3811 3816
3812 3817 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3813 3818 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3814 3819 inherit from BasePrompt.
3815 3820
3816 3821 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3817 3822 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3818 3823
3819 3824 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3820 3825 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3821 3826 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3822 3827 defaults.
3823 3828 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3824 3829 this fix manually!
3825 3830
3826 3831 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3827 3832 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3828 3833 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3829 3834 distutils).
3830 3835
3831 3836 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3832 3837 usage of new '\D' escape.
3833 3838
3834 3839 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3835 3840 lacks os.getuid())
3836 3841 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3837 3842 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3838 3843 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3839 3844 handling mechanism.
3840 3845 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3841 3846 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3842 3847 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3843 3848 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3844 3849 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3845 3850 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3846 3851 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3847 3852
3848 3853 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3849 3854
3850 3855 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3851 3856 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3852 3857 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3853 3858
3854 3859 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3855 3860 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3856 3861 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3857 3862 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3858 3863 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3859 3864 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3860 3865 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3861 3866 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3862 3867
3863 3868 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3864 3869 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3865 3870 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3866 3871 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3867 3872 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3868 3873 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3869 3874 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3870 3875 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3871 3876
3872 3877 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3873 3878 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3874 3879 functions uniform.
3875 3880 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3876 3881
3877 3882 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3878 3883 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3879 3884 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3880 3885 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3881 3886 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3882 3887 use to parse their options.
3883 3888
3884 3889 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3885 3890 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3886 3891 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3887 3892
3888 3893 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3889 3894 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3890 3895 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3891 3896 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3892 3897 via the prompt_specials.
3893 3898
3894 3899 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3895 3900
3896 3901 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3897 3902 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3898 3903 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3899 3904 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3900 3905 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3901 3906 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3902 3907 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3903 3908 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3904 3909
3905 3910 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3906 3911
3907 3912 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3908 3913 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3909 3914 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3910 3915
3911 3916 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3912 3917
3913 3918 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3914 3919 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3915 3920
3916 3921 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3917 3922
3918 3923 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3919 3924 parens would get passed to the shell.
3920 3925
3921 3926 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3927
3923 3928 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3924 3929 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3925 3930
3926 3931 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3927 3932 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3928 3933 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3929 3934 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3930 3935 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3931 3936
3932 3937 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3933 3938 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3934 3939 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3935 3940 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3936 3941
3937 3942 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3938 3943
3939 3944 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3940 3945
3941 3946 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3942 3947 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3943 3948 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3944 3949
3945 3950 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3946 3951 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3947 3952 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3948 3953 official documentation.
3949 3954
3950 3955 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3956
3952 3957 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3953 3958 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3954 3959 explicit filename.
3955 3960

3958 3963 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3959 3964 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3960 3965 case.
3961 3966
3962 3967 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3963 3968 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3964 3969 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3965 3970
3966 3971 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1

3968 3973 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3969 3974
3970 3975 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3971 3976 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3972 3977 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3973 3978 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3974 3979 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3975 3980 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3976 3981 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3977 3982 any changes to python proper.
3978 3983
3979 3984 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3980 3985 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3981 3986 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3982 3987 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3983 3988 Schmolck.
3984 3989
3985 3990 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3991
3987 3992 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3988 3993 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3989 3994 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3990 3995 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3991 3996
3992 3997 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3993 3998
3994 3999 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3995 4000 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3996 4001 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3997 4002 name).
3998 4003
3999 4004 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4000 4005 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4001 4006 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4002 4007 Francois Pinard.
4003 4008
4004 4009 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4005 4010
4006 4011 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4007 4012 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4008 4013 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4009 4014 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4010 4015 not work.
4011 4016
4012 4017 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4013 4018
4014 4019 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4015 4020 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4016 4021 distinguishes stdout/err.
4017 4022
4018 4023 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4019 4024 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4020 4025 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4021 4026 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4022 4027 the standard library.
4023 4028
4024 4029 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4025 4030 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4026 4031
4027 4032 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4028 4033 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4029 4034
4030 4035 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4036
4032 4037 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4033 4038 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4034 4039 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4035 4040 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4036 4041 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4037 4042 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4038 4043
4039 4044 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4040 4045
4041 4046 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4042 4047 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4043 4048 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4044 4049 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4045 4050
4046 4051 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4052
4048 4053 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4049 4054 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4050 4055 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4051 4056 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4052 4057
4053 4058 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4054 4059
4055 4060 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4056 4061 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4057 4062 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4058 4063 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4059 4064 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4060 4065 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4061 4066 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4062 4067 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4063 4068
4064 4069 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4065 4070
4066 4071 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4067 4072 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4068 4073
4069 4074 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4070 4075
4071 4076 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4072 4077 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4073 4078 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4074 4079 very short.
4075 4080
4076 4081 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4077 4082
4078 4083 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4079 4084 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4080 4085 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4081 4086 this before making it permanent.
4082 4087
4083 4088 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4084 4089 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4085 4090 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4086 4091 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4087 4092
4088 4093 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4089 4094
4090 4095 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4091 4096 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4092 4097
4093 4098 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4099
4095 4100 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4096 4101 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4097 4102 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4098 4103 cases I've missed.
4099 4104
4100 4105 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4101 4106
4102 4107 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4103 4108 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4104 4109 system would be triggered for @p.
4105 4110
4106 4111 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4107 4112 cleanups, code unmodified.
4108 4113
4109 4114 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4110 4115 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4111 4116 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4112 4117 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4113 4118 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4114 4119 The actual changes affect many files.
4115 4120
4116 4121 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4117 4122
4118 4123 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4119 4124 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4120 4125 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4121 4126
4122 4127 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4123 4128
4124 4129 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4125 4130 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4126 4131
4127 4132 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4128 4133
4129 4134 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4130 4135 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4131 4136 numpy list.
4132 4137
4133 4138 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4134 4139
4135 4140 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4136 4141 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4137 4142 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4138 4143 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4139 4144
4140 4145 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4141 4146
4142 4147 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4143 4148 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4144 4149 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4145 4150 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4146 4151
4147 4152 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4148 4153 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4149 4154
4150 4155 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4151 4156
4152 4157 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4153 4158 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4154 4159 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4155 4160 Collins.
4156 4161
4157 4162 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4158 4163
4159 4164 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4160 4165
4161 4166 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4162 4167 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4163 4168 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4164 4169
4165 4170 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4171
4167 4172 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4168 4173 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4169 4174 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4170 4175 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4171 4176
4172 4177 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4173 4178 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4174 4179 __getitem__ and __call__.
4175 4180
4176 4181 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4177 4182
4178 4183 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4179 4184
4180 4185 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4181 4186 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4182 4187 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4183 4188 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4184 4189
4185 4190 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4186 4191 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4187 4192 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4188 4193 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4189 4194 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4190 4195 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4191 4196 necessary.
4192 4197
4193 4198 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4194 4199 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4195 4200 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4196 4201
4197 4202 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4198 4203 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4199 4204 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4200 4205 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4201 4206
4202 4207 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4203 4208 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4204 4209 generators.
4205 4210
4206 4211 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4207 4212 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4208 4213 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4209 4214 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4210 4215 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4211 4216 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4212 4217 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4213 4218
4214 4219 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4215 4220 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4216 4221 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4217 4222 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4218 4223 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4219 4224
4220 4225 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4221 4226 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4222 4227 edit under some circumstances.
4223 4228 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4224 4229 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4225 4230 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4226 4231 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4227 4232 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4228 4233 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4229 4234 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4230 4235 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4231 4236 need more testing.
4232 4237
4233 4238 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4234 4239
4235 4240 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4236 4241 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4237 4242 and simpler code.
4238 4243
4239 4244 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4240 4245
4241 4246 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4242 4247 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4243 4248 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4244 4249 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4245 4250 even if they were contiguous.
4246 4251 (l1norm): Added this function.
4247 4252 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4248 4253 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4249 4254 and speed.
4250 4255
4251 4256 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4252 4257
4253 4258 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4254 4259 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4255 4260 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4256 4261
4257 4262 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4263
4259 4264 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4260 4265 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4261 4266 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4262 4267
4263 4268 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4264 4269 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4265 4270 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4266 4271
4267 4272 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4268 4273
4269 4274 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4270 4275 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4271 4276 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4272 4277 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4273 4278 activity.
4274 4279
4275 4280 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4276 4281
4277 4282 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4278 4283 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4279 4284 Numeric.identity)
4280 4285
4281 4286 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4282 4287
4283 4288 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4284 4289 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4285 4290 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4286 4291
4287 4292 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4293
4289 4294 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4290 4295 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4291 4296 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4292 4297 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4293 4298
4294 4299 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4295 4300 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4296 4301 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4297 4302 is implemented).
4298 4303
4299 4304 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4300 4305
4301 4306 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4302 4307 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4303 4308 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4304 4309
4305 4310 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4306 4311 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4307 4312 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4308 4313 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4309 4314 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>

4313 4318 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4314 4319
4315 4320 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4316 4321 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4317 4322 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4318 4323
4319 4324 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4320 4325
4321 4326 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4322 4327 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4323 4328 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4324 4329
4325 4330 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4326 4331 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4327 4332 crash report from Prabhu.
4328 4333
4329 4334 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4330 4335
4331 4336 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4332 4337 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4333 4338 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4334 4339 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4335 4340 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4336 4341 also be useful in other cases.
4337 4342
4338 4343 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4339 4344 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4340 4345 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4341 4346
4342 4347 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4343 4348
4344 4349 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4345 4350
4346 4351 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4347 4352 installing for a new user under Windows.
4348 4353
4349 4354 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4350 4355
4351 4356 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4352 4357 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4353 4358 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4354 4359 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4355 4360 there.
4356 4361
4357 4362 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4358 4363 info to crash reports.
4359 4364
4360 4365 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4361 4366 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4362 4367 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4363 4368 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4364 4369
4365 4370 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4371
4367 4372 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4368 4373 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4369 4374 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4370 4375 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4371 4376
4372 4377 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4373 4378
4374 4379 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4375 4380 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4376 4381
4377 4382 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4378 4383
4379 4384 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4380 4385 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4381 4386
4382 4387 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4383 4388
4384 4389 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4385 4390
4386 4391 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4387 4392 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4388 4393 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4389 4394
4390 4395 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4391 4396 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4392 4397 with the new auto-indent option.
4393 4398
4394 4399 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4395 4400
4396 4401 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4397 4402 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4398 4403 this class from the main Shell class.
4399 4404
4400 4405 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4401 4406 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4402 4407 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4403 4408 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4404 4409 option).
4405 4410
4406 4411 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4407 4412 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4408 4413 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4409 4414 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4410 4415 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4411 4416
4412 4417 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4413 4418 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4414 4419 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4415 4420
4416 4421 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4417 4422 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4418 4423 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4419 4424 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4420 4425 tracebacks.
4421 4426
4422 4427 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4423 4428 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4424 4429 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4425 4430
4426 4431 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4427 4432
4428 4433 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4429 4434 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4430 4435 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4431 4436 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4432 4437
4433 4438 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4434 4439
4435 4440 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4436 4441 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4437 4442 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4438 4443 for the bug report.
4439 4444
4440 4445 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4441 4446
4442 4447 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4443 4448 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4444 4449 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4445 4450 report.
4446 4451
4447 4452 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4448 4453
4449 4454 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4450 4455 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4451 4456 end).
4452 4457
4453 4458 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4454 4459 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4455 4460 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4456 4461
4457 4462 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4458 4463
4459 4464 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4460 4465 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4461 4466 for the patch.
4462 4467
4463 4468 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4464 4469
4465 4470 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4466 4471 functions.
4467 4472
4468 4473 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4469 4474
4470 4475 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4471 4476
4472 4477 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4473 4478 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4474 4479 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4475 4480 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4476 4481 private fix.
4477 4482
4478 4483 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4479 4484 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4480 4485 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4481 4486 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4482 4487 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4483 4488 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4484 4489 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4485 4490 fixed for this setup.
4486 4491
4487 4492 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4488 4493 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4489 4494
4490 4495 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4491 4496
4492 4497 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4493 4498
4494 4499 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4495 4500 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4496 4501 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4497 4502 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4498 4503 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4499 4504 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4500 4505 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4501 4506 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4502 4507 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4503 4508
4504 4509 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4505 4510 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4506 4511 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4507 4512
4508 4513 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4509 4514
4510 4515 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4516
4512 4517 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4513 4518 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4514 4519 pickle-related issue in @run).
4515 4520
4516 4521 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4517 4522
4518 4523 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4519 4524 the autocall option at runtime.
4520 4525 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4521 4526 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4522 4527 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4523 4528 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4524 4529 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4525 4530 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4526 4531 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4527 4532 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4528 4533 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4529 4534 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4530 4535 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4531 4536 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4532 4537 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4533 4538 pickles to save something sensible.
4534 4539
4535 4540 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4536 4541
4537 4542 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4538 4543 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4539 4544 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4540 4545
4541 4546 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4542 4547
4543 4548 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4544 4549 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4545 4550
4546 4551 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4547 4552
4548 4553 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4549 4554 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4550 4555 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4551 4556 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4552 4557
4553 4558 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4554 4559
4555 4560 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4556 4561 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4557 4562 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4558 4563 array is non-contiguous.
4559 4564
4560 4565 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4561 4566
4562 4567 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4563 4568 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4564 4569 executed).
4565 4570 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4566 4571 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4567 4572 output.
4568 4573 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4569 4574 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4570 4575 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4571 4576 changing.
4572 4577
4573 4578 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4574 4579
4575 4580 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4576 4581
4577 4582 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4578 4583 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4579 4584 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4580 4585 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4581 4586 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4582 4587 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4583 4588 like a normal command-line.
4584 4589
4585 4590 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4586 4591 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4587 4592 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4588 4593 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4589 4594
4590 4595 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4591 4596
4592 4597 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4593 4598 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4594 4599 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4595 4600 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4596 4601
4597 4602 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4603
4599 4604 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4600 4605 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4601 4606 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4602 4607 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4603 4608 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4604 4609 think it's worth doing.
4605 4610
4606 4611 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4607 4612
4608 4613 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4609 4614
4610 4615 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4611 4616 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4612 4617
4613 4618 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4614 4619 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4615 4620 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4616 4621 also work ok.
4617 4622
4618 4623 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4619 4624
4620 4625 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4621 4626
4622 4627 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4623 4628
4624 4629 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4625 4630 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4626 4631 of gnuplot data files.
4627 4632
4628 4633 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4629 4634
4630 4635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4631 4636 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4632 4637
4633 4638 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4634 4639
4635 4640 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4636 4641 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4637 4642 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4638 4643 for pointing this out.
4639 4644
4640 4645 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4641 4646
4642 4647 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4643 4648
4644 4649 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4645 4650 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4646 4651 Interactive.
4647 4652
4648 4653 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4649 4654 being imported from iplib.
4650 4655
4651 4656 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4652 4657 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4653 4658 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4654 4659 common name.
4655 4660
4656 4661 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4657 4662 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4658 4663
4659 4664 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4660 4665 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4661 4666
4662 4667 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4663 4668 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4664 4669 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4665 4670 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4666 4671 docstrings).
4667 4672
4668 4673 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4669 4674
4670 4675 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4671 4676 (inconsistent with options).
4672 4677
4673 4678 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4674 4679 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4675 4680 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4676 4681 eps output.
4677 4682
4678 4683 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4679 4684
4680 4685 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4681 4686 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4682 4687 Pinard.
4683 4688
4684 4689 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4685 4690
4686 4691 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4687 4692 history file for new users.
4688 4693 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4689 4694 user running in the .ipython dir.
4690 4695 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4691 4696 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4692 4697 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4693 4698
4694 4699 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4695 4700 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4696 4701 consistently.
4697 4702
4698 4703 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4699 4704 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4700 4705 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4701 4706 libraries I don't have access to.
4702 4707
4703 4708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4704 4709 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4705 4710 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4706 4711 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4707 4712 report.
4708 4713
4709 4714 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4710 4715
4711 4716 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4712 4717 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4713 4718 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4714 4719 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4715 4720
4716 4721 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4717 4722
4718 4723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4719 4724 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4720 4725 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4721 4726 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4722 4727 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4723 4728 instance has been created.
4724 4729
4725 4730 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4726 4731 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4727 4732 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4728 4733 dict by hand.
4729 4734
4730 4735 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4731 4736
4732 4737 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4733 4738 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4734 4739 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4735 4740 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4736 4741 broken.
4737 4742
4738 4743 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4739 4744 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4740 4745 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4741 4746 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4742 4747
4743 4748 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4744 4749 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4745 4750 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4746 4751 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4747 4752 is a valid one.
4748 4753
4749 4754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4750 4755 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4751 4756 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4752 4757
4753 4758 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4754 4759 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4755 4760 simply leftover junk.
4756 4761
4757 4762 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4758 4763
4759 4764 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4760 4765 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4761 4766 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4762 4767
4763 4768 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4764 4769 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4765 4770 exceptions.
4766 4771
4767 4772 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4768 4773
4769 4774 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4770 4775 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4771 4776 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4772 4777 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4773 4778 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4774 4779
4775 4780 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4776 4781 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4777 4782
4778 4783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4779 4784 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4780 4785 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4781 4786 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4782 4787 problem mentioned below.
4783 4788
4784 4789 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4785 4790
4786 4791 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4787 4792 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4788 4793
4789 4794 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4790 4795 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4791 4796 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4792 4797 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4793 4798 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4794 4799
4795 4800 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4796 4801 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4797 4802 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4798 4803 actual function names.
4799 4804
4800 4805 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4801 4806 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4802 4807 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4803 4808 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4804 4809 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4805 4810 really be only function/method names.
4806 4811
4807 4812 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4808 4813
4809 4814 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4810 4815 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4811 4816 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4812 4817
4813 4818 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4814 4819
4815 4820 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4816 4821 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4817 4822 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4818 4823
4819 4824 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4820 4825 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4821 4826
4822 4827 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4823 4828 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4824 4829 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4825 4830
4826 4831 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4827 4832 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4828 4833 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4829 4834
4830 4835 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4831 4836 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4832 4837 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4833 4838
4834 4839 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4835 4840
4836 4841 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4837 4842 Gnuplot.File objects.
4838 4843
4839 4844 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4840 4845
4841 4846 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4842 4847 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4843 4848 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4844 4849
4845 4850 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4851
4847 4852 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4848 4853 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4849 4854
4850 4855 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4851 4856 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4852 4857
4853 4858 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4854 4859 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4855 4860
4856 4861 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4857 4862
4858 4863 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4859 4864 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4860 4865 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4861 4866 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4862 4867
4863 4868 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4864 4869
4865 4870 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4866 4871 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4867 4872 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4868 4873
4869 4874 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4870 4875
4871 4876 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4872 4877 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4873 4878 workaround).
4874 4879
4875 4880 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4876 4881
4877 4882 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4878 4883 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4879 4884
4880 4885 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4886
4882 4887 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4883 4888 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4884 4889
4885 4890 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4886 4891 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4887 4892 .strip() is called on it.
4888 4893
4889 4894
4890 4895 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4891 4896
4892 4897 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4893 4898 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4894 4899 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4895 4900
4896 4901 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4897 4902 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4898 4903
4899 4904 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4900 4905 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4901 4906 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4902 4907
4903 4908 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4904 4909
4905 4910 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4906 4911 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4907 4912 __main__.
4908 4913
4909 4914 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4910 4915 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4911 4916
4912 4917 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4913 4918 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4914 4919 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4915 4920 Mathematica behaves.
4916 4921
4917 4922 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4918 4923
4919 4924 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4920 4925 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4921 4926
4922 4927 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4923 4928 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4924 4929 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4925 4930
4926 4931 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4927 4932 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4928 4933
4929 4934 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4930 4935
4931 4936 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4932 4937 underflow problems in Numeric.
4933 4938 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4934 4939 for exact integer powers of 2.
4935 4940
4936 4941 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4937 4942 properly.
4938 4943
4939 4944 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4940 4945
4941 4946 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4942 4947 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4943 4948
4944 4949 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4945 4950
4946 4951 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4947 4952 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4948 4953
4949 4954 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4950 4955
4951 4956 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4952 4957 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4953 4958 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4954 4959 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4955 4960 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4956 4961 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4957 4962 times).
4958 4963
4959 4964 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4960 4965 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4961 4966 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4962 4967
4963 4968 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4964 4969
4965 4970 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4966 4971 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4967 4972 embedded code.
4968 4973
4969 4974 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4970 4975 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4971 4976 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4972 4977
4973 4978 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4974 4979 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4975 4980 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4976 4981 less special-casing to remember.
4977 4982
4978 4983 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4979 4984
4980 4985 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4981 4986 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4982 4987 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4983 4988 arg is not a defined object.
4984 4989 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4985 4990 a Mike Heeter idea.
4986 4991
4987 4992 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4988 4993 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4989 4994 interactive use.
4990 4995
4991 4996 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4992 4997 filenames.
4993 4998
4994 4999 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4995 5000
4996 5001 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4997 5002 initialization via another struct.
4998 5003
4999 5004 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5000 5005 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5001 5006
5002 5007 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5003 5008
5004 5009 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5005 5010 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5006 5011 too big).
5007 5012
5008 5013 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5009 5014
5010 5015 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5011 5016 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5012 5017 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5013 5018 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5014 5019
5015 5020 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5016 5021
5017 5022 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5018 5023 macros having broken.
5019 5024
5020 5025 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5021 5026
5022 5027 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5023 5028 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5024 5029 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5025 5030 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5026 5031 not to lists.

5028 5033 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5029 5034
5030 5035 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5031 5036 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5032 5037 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5033 5038
5034 5039 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5035 5040 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5036 5041
5037 5042 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5038 5043 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5039 5044 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5040 5045
5041 5046 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5042 5047 triple-quoted strings.
5043 5048
5044 5049 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5045 5050 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5046 5051 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5047 5052 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5048 5053 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5049 5054 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5050 5055
5051 5056 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5052 5057
5053 5058 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5054 5059 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5055 5060 ultraTB).
5056 5061
5057 5062 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5058 5063
5059 5064 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5060 5065 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5061 5066 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5062 5067 user's 'g' variables).
5063 5068
5064 5069 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5065 5070 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5066 5071 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5067 5072 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5068 5073 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5069 5074 macros.
5070 5075
5071 5076 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5072 5077
5073 5078 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5074 5079 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5075 5080
5076 5081 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5077 5082 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5078 5083 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5079 5084
5080 5085 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5081 5086
5082 5087 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5083 5088 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5084 5089 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5085 5090 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5086 5091 aliases.
5087 5092
5088 5093 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5089 5094
5090 5095 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5091 5096 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5092 5097 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5093 5098 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5094 5099
5095 5100 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5096 5101
5097 5102 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5098 5103 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5099 5104 user-defined functions overrode them.
5100 5105
5101 5106 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5107
5103 5108 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5104 5109 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5105 5110
5106 5111 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5107 5112
5108 5113 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5109 5114 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5110 5115 IPython.
5111 5116
5112 5117 * Released 0.2.13
5113 5118
5114 5119 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5115 5120 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5116 5121 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5117 5122 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5118 5123
5119 5124 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5120 5125
5121 5126 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5122 5127 magic properly formatted for screen.
5123 5128
5124 5129 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5125 5130 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5126 5131
5127 5132 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5128 5133 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5129 5134 etc.)
5130 5135
5131 5136 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5132 5137
5133 5138 * Released 0.2.12
5134 5139
5135 5140 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5136 5141
5137 5142 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5138 5143 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5139 5144 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5140 5145 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5141 5146 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5142 5147 an alias to @run -i.
5143 5148
5144 5149 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5145 5150 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5146 5151
5147 5152 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5148 5153
5149 5154 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5150 5155 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5151 5156 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5152 5157
5153 5158 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5154 5159 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5155 5160 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5156 5161 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5157 5162 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5158 5163 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5159 5164 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5160 5165
5161 5166 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5162 5167
5163 5168 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5164 5169 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5165 5170 printed).
5166 5171
5167 5172 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5168 5173 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5169 5174 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5170 5175
5171 5176 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5172 5177 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5173 5178
5174 5179 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5175 5180 handle magic commands in them.
5176 5181 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5177 5182 ~/mylog' now works.
5178 5183
5179 5184 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5180 5185 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5181 5186
5182 5187 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5183 5188
5184 5189 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5185 5190 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5186 5191
5187 5192 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5188 5193 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5189 5194 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5190 5195 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5191 5196 variables are in the context of an exception.
5192 5197 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5193 5198 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5194 5199
5195 5200 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5196 5201 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5197 5202
5198 5203 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5199 5204
5200 5205 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5201 5206 magics can parse options easier.
5202 5207 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5203 5208 suggested by Chris Hart.
5204 5209 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5205 5210 directory actually is in history.
5206 5211
5207 5212 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5208 5213 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5209 5214 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5210 5215
5211 5216 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5212 5217 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5213 5218 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5214 5219 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5215 5220
5216 5221 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5217 5222
5218 5223 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5219 5224 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5220 5225
5221 5226 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5222 5227 text (was a bug).
5223 5228
5224 5229 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5225 5230
5226 5231 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5227 5232 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5228 5233 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5229 5234
5230 5235 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5231 5236
5232 5237 * Released 0.2.10
5233 5238
5234 5239 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5235 5240
5236 5241 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5237 5242 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5238 5243
5239 5244 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5245
5241 5246 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5242 5247 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5243 5248
5244 5249 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5245 5250
5246 5251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5247 5252 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5248 5253 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5249 5254 __init__.py)
5250 5255
5251 5256 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5252 5257
5253 5258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5254 5259 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5255 5260 test for being inside IPython.
5256 5261
5257 5262 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5258 5263 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5259 5264 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5260 5265 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5261 5266
5262 5267 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5263 5268
5264 5269 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5265 5270 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5266 5271 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5267 5272
5268 5273 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5269 5274 embedding example to standard user directory for
5270 5275 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5271 5276
5272 5277 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5273 5278 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5274 5279 hidden global).
5275 5280
5276 5281 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5277 5282 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5278 5283 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5279 5284 case.
5280 5285
5281 5286 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5282 5287
5283 5288 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5284 5289 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5285 5290 start.
5286 5291
5287 5292 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5288 5293 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5289 5294 Numeric or math.
5290 5295
5291 5296 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5292 5297 provided profiles. Now we have:
5293 5298 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5294 5299 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5295 5300 -physics -> same as before
5296 5301
5297 5302 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5298 5303 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5299 5304 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5300 5305 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5301 5306 string adds).
5302 5307
5303 5308 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5304 5309 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5305 5310 line with the gnuplot code).
5306 5311
5307 5312 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5308 5313
5309 5314 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5310 5315 all included files change.
5311 5316
5312 5317 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5313 5318 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5314 5319
5315 5320 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5316 5321 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5317 5322 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5318 5323
5319 5324 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5320 5325 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5321 5326
5322 5327 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5323 5328 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5324 5329
5325 5330 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5326 5331 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5327 5332 now accessible.
5328 5333
5329 5334 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5330 5335 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5331 5336 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5332 5337 removed.
5333 5338 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5334 5339 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5335 5340 don't crash.
5336 5341 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5337 5342 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5338 5343 remains available.
5339 5344
5340 5345 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5341 5346
5342 5347 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5343 5348
5344 5349 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5345 5350
5346 5351 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5347 5352 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5348 5353 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5349 5354 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5350 5355
5351 5356 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5352 5357
5353 5358 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5354 5359 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5355 5360 sync with the output counter.
5356 5361
5357 5362 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5358 5363 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5359 5364
5360 5365 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5361 5366
5362 5367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5363 5368 readline, fix it back after each call.
5364 5369
5365 5370 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5366 5371 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5367 5372 traceback references are properly deleted.
5368 5373
5369 5374 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5370 5375 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5371 5376
5372 5377 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5373 5378
5374 5379 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5375 5380 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5376 5381 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5377 5382 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5378 5383 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5379 5384 to catch SystemExit).
5380 5385
5381 5386 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5382 5387 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5383 5388 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5384 5389 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5385 5390 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5386 5391 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5387 5392
5388 5393 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5389 5394
5390 5395 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5391 5396 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5392 5397 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5393 5398
5394 5399 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5395 5400 configurable (it should have always been so).
5396 5401
5397 5402 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5398 5403
5399 5404 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5400 5405 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5401 5406 done in a more elegant way.
5402 5407
5403 5408 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5404 5409
5405 5410 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5406 5411 win9x also.
5407 5412
5408 5413 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5409 5414
5410 5415 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5411 5416 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5412 5417
5413 5418 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5414 5419
5415 5420 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5416 5421
5417 5422 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5418 5423 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5419 5424
5420 5425 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5421 5426 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5422 5427
5423 5428 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5424 5429 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5425 5430
5426 5431 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5427 5432 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5428 5433
5429 5434 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5430 5435
5431 5436 * Released 0.2.8
5432 5437
5433 5438 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5434 5439 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5435 5440 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5436 5441 on' so that the first tab completes.
5437 5442 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5438 5443 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5439 5444
5440 5445 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5441 5446 installation.
5442 5447
5443 5448 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5444 5449 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5445 5450
5446 5451 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5447 5452
5448 5453 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5449 5454 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5450 5455 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5451 5456
5452 5457 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5453 5458 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5454 5459
5455 5460 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5456 5461 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5457 5462 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5458 5463 suggestion.
5459 5464
5460 5465 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5461 5466 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5462 5467 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5463 5468
5464 5469 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5465 5470 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5466 5471
5467 5472 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5468 5473
5469 5474 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5470 5475 which properly handles things for windows users.
5471 5476
5472 5477 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5473 5478
5474 5479 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5475 5480 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5476 5481 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5477 5482 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5478 5483 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5479 5484
5480 5485 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5481 5486
5482 5487 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5483 5488
5484 5489 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5485 5490 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5486 5491
5487 5492 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5488 5493
5489 5494 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5490 5495 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5491 5496 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5492 5497 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5493 5498 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5494 5499 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5495 5500
5496 5501 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5497 5502
5498 5503 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5499 5504 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5500 5505
5501 5506 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5502 5507 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5503 5508 cache at 20 values.
5504 5509
5505 5510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5506 5511 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5507 5512 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5508 5513 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5509 5514
5510 5515 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5511 5516 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5512 5517 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5513 5518 'file show').
5514 5519
5515 5520 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5516 5521 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5517 5522
5518 5523 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5519 5524 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5520 5525 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5521 5526
5522 5527 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5523 5528 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5524 5529 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5525 5530 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5526 5531
5527 5532 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5528 5533 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5529 5534 the prompt strings.
5530 5535
5531 5536 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5532 5537
5533 5538 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5534 5539 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5535 5540
5536 5541 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5537 5542 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5538 5543 either globally or at each call.
5539 5544
5540 5545 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5541 5546 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5542 5547 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5543 5548 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5544 5549
5545 5550 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5546 5551
5547 5552 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5548 5553 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5549 5554
5550 5555 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5551 5556
5552 5557 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5553 5558 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5554 5559 learning some lisp...
5555 5560
5556 5561 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5557 5562
5558 5563 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5559 5564 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5560 5565 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5561 5566 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5562 5567
5563 5568 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5564 5569 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5565 5570 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5566 5571
5567 5572 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5568 5573
5569 5574 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5570 5575 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5571 5576 control to emacs users.
5572 5577
5573 5578 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5574 5579 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5575 5580 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5576 5581 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5577 5582 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5578 5583 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5579 5584
5580 5585 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5581 5586
5582 5587 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5583 5588
5584 5589 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5585 5590 @logstate magic was created.
5586 5591
5587 5592 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5588 5593 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5589 5594
5590 5595 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5591 5596
5592 5597 * Released 0.2.6.
5593 5598
5594 5599 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5595 5600 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5596 5601
5597 5602 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5598 5603 SciPy.
5599 5604
5600 5605 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5601 5606 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5602 5607 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5603 5608 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5604 5609 the section on embedding and the example file.
5605 5610
5606 5611 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5607 5612 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5608 5613 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5609 5614
5610 5615 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5611 5616 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5612 5617 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5613 5618
5614 5619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5615 5620 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5616 5621 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5617 5622 for this to work.
5618 5623
5619 5624 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5620 5625
5621 5626 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5622 5627 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5623 5628 well inside Emacs buffers.
5624 5629 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5625 5630 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5626 5631 same bug in iplib.
5627 5632
5628 5633 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5629 5634
5630 5635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5631 5636 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5632 5637
5633 5638 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5634 5639 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5635 5640 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5636 5641
5637 5642 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5638 5643 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5639 5644 display is done.
5640 5645
5641 5646 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5642 5647 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5643 5648
5644 5649 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5645 5650 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5646 5651 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5647 5652 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5648 5653 like in Octave.
5649 5654
5650 5655 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5651 5656 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5652 5657
5653 5658 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5654 5659
5655 5660 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5656 5661 whole file a little.
5657 5662
5658 5663 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5659 5664 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5660 5665 end-user distro.
5661 5666
5662 5667 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5663 5668 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5664 5669 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5665 5670
5666 5671 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5667 5672 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5668 5673
5669 5674 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5670 5675 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5671 5676 for @file.
5672 5677
5673 5678 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5674 5679 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5675 5680 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5676 5681 the code a bit easier.
5677 5682
5678 5683 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5679 5684 information to crash reports.
5680 5685
5681 5686 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5682 5687
5683 5688 * Released 0.2.5.
5684 5689
5685 5690 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5686 5691
5687 5692 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5688 5693 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5689 5694 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5690 5695
5691 5696 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5692 5697
5693 5698 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5694 5699 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5695 5700 have thigs work as expected.
5696 5701
5697 5702 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5698 5703 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5699 5704 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5700 5705 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5701 5706 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5702 5707
5703 5708 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5704 5709 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5705 5710
5706 5711 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5707 5712
5708 5713 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5709 5714 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5710 5715
5711 5716 * README and manual updates.
5712 5717
5713 5718 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5714 5719 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5715 5720
5716 5721 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5717 5722 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5718 5723
5719 5724 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5720 5725 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5721 5726 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5722 5727 extension-less files.
5723 5728
5724 5729 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5725 5730 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5726 5731 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5727 5732
5728 5733 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5729 5734 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5730 5735
5731 5736 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5732 5737 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5733 5738 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5734 5739 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5735 5740 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5736 5741 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5737 5742 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5738 5743 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5739 5744 least make manually a shortcut.
5740 5745
5741 5746 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5742 5747 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5743 5748 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5744 5749 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5745 5750 runtime, with @colors.
5746 5751 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5747 5752 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5748 5753
5749 5754 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5750 5755
5751 5756 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5752 5757 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5753 5758 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5754 5759 read the startup info.
5755 5760
5756 5761 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5757 5762
5758 5763 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5759 5764 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5760 5765 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5761 5766 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5762 5767 type the better off we are.
5763 5768 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5764 5769 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5765 5770 before.
5766 5771
5767 5772 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5768 5773
5769 5774 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5770 5775 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5771 5776 this later.
5772 5777
5773 5778 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5774 5779
5775 5780 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5776 5781 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5777 5782 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5778 5783
5779 5784 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5780 5785
5781 5786 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5782 5787 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5783 5788 spitting out only offset information as before.
5784 5789 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5785 5790 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5786 5791
5787 5792 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5788 5793
5789 5794 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5790 5795 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5791 5796 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5792 5797 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5793 5798 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5794 5799 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5795 5800 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5796 5801 macros.
5797 5802
5798 5803 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5799 5804
5800 5805 * Released 0.2.4.
5801 5806
5802 5807 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5803 5808 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5804 5809 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5805 5810 re-execution.
5806 5811
5807 5812 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5808 5813
5809 5814 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5810 5815 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5811 5816 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5812 5817 documented, of course :)
5813 5818 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5814 5819 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5815 5820 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5816 5821
5817 5822 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5818 5823
5819 5824 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5820 5825 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5821 5826 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5822 5827
5823 5828 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5824 5829
5825 5830 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5826 5831 so I wanted an updated release).
5827 5832
5828 5833 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5829 5834
5830 5835 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5831 5836 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5832 5837 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5833 5838 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5834 5839 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5835 5840
5836 5841 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5837 5842
5838 5843 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5839 5844 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5840 5845
5841 5846 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5842 5847
5843 5848 * Released 0.2.2.
5844 5849
5845 5850 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5846 5851 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5847 5852 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5848 5853 versions.
5849 5854
5850 5855 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5851 5856 (MayaVi author).
5852 5857
5853 5858 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5854 5859
5855 5860 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5856 5861 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5857 5862 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5858 5863 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5859 5864 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5860 5865
5861 5866 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5862 5867 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5863 5868
5864 5869 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5865 5870
5866 5871 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5867 5872 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5868 5873 nice, full-blown manual.
5869 5874
5870 5875 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5871 5876 trivially simple for end-users.
5872 5877
5873 5878 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5874 5879
5875 5880 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5876 5881 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5877 5882
5878 5883 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5879 5884 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5880 5885
5881 5886 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5882 5887
5883 5888 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5884 5889 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5885 5890 people to later upgrade versions.
5886 5891
5887 5892 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5888 5893 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5889 5894 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5890 5895 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5891 5896 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5892 5897 SystemExit).
5893 5898
5894 5899 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5895 5900 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5896 5901 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5897 5902 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5898 5903 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5899 5904
5900 5905 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5901 5906 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5902 5907 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5903 5908
5904 5909 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5905 5910
5906 5911 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5907 5912 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5908 5913
5909 5914 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5910 5915 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5911 5916 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5912 5917 html docs out of it will be found).
5913 5918
5914 5919 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5915 5920
5916 5921 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5917 5922 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5918 5923
5919 5924 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5920 5925
5921 5926 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5922 5927 visiting any directory in _dh.
5923 5928
5924 5929 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5925 5930 it out with numbers.
5926 5931
5927 5932 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5928 5933
5929 5934 * Released 0.1.22
5930 5935
5931 5936 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5932 5937 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5933 5938
5934 5939 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5935 5940 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5936 5941 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5937 5942 screen the necessary mail command.
5938 5943
5939 5944 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5940 5945 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5941 5946 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5942 5947
5943 5948 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5944 5949
5945 5950 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5946 5951 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5947 5952 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5948 5953 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5949 5954 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5950 5955 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5951 5956 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5952 5957 its name).
5953 5958
5954 5959 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5955 5960 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5956 5961 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5957 5962 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5958 5963
5959 5964 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5960 5965
5961 5966 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5962 5967 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5963 5968
5964 5969 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5965 5970 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5966 5971
5967 5972 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5968 5973 completion of @-starting lines.
5969 5974
5970 5975 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5971 5976 info that other files can read from.
5972 5977
5973 5978 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5974 5979 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5975 5980 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5976 5981 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5977 5982 restores produce less errors.
5978 5983
5979 5984 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5980 5985 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5981 5986 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5982 5987 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5983 5988 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5984 5989
5985 5990 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5986 5991 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5987 5992 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5988 5993 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5989 5994 with this, finally...
5990 5995
5991 5996 * Small documentation updates.
5992 5997
5993 5998 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5994 5999 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5995 6000 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5996 6001
5997 6002 * File renaming:
5998 6003 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5999 6004 ipplib --> iplib
6000 6005 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6001 6006
6002 6007 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6003 6008 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6004 6009 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6005 6010
6006 6011 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6007 6012 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6008 6013 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6009 6014
6010 6015 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6011 6016
6012 6017 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6013 6018 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6014 6019 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6015 6020 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6016 6021
6017 6022 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6018 6023 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6019 6024 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6020 6025
6021 6026 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6022 6027 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6023 6028 road.
6024 6029
6025 6030 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6026 6031 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6027 6032 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6028 6033 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6029 6034
6030 6035 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6031 6036
6032 6037 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6033 6038 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6034 6039 file accordingly.
6035 6040
6036 6041 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6037 6042 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6038 6043 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6039 6044 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6040 6045 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6041 6046 separators and proper padding and justification.
6042 6047
6043 6048 * Released 0.1.20
6044 6049
6045 6050 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6046 6051 copy operation was missing).
6047 6052
6048 6053 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6049 6054 its output is always quite long.
6050 6055
6051 6056 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6052 6057 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6053 6058 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6054 6059 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6055 6060
6056 6061 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6057 6062 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6058 6063 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6059 6064 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6060 6065
6061 6066 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6062 6067
6063 6068 * Released 0.1.19
6064 6069
6065 6070 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6066 6071 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6067 6072
6068 6073 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6069 6074 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6070 6075 comment on 'macros').
6071 6076
6072 6077 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6073 6078
6074 6079 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6075 6080 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6076 6081 statements and takes parameters.
6077 6082
6078 6083 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6079 6084
6080 6085 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6081 6086
6082 6087 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6083 6088
6084 6089 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6085 6090 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6086 6091
6087 6092 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6088 6093 ipythonrc-* samples.
6089 6094
6090 6095 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6091 6096 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6092 6097
6093 6098 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6094 6099 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6095 6100
6096 6101 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6097 6102
6098 6103 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6099 6104 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6100 6105 convention.
6101 6106
6102 6107 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6103 6108 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6104 6109
6105 6110 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6106 6111
6107 6112 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6108 6113 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6109 6114
6110 6115 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6111 6116 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6112 6117 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6113 6118 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6114 6119 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6115 6120 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6116 6121 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6117 6122 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6118 6123 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6119 6124 works.
6120 6125
6121 6126 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6122 6127
6123 6128 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6124 6129 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6125 6130 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6126 6131 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6127 6132 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6128 6133 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6129 6134 all the editors, less does that.
6130 6135
6131 6136 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6132 6137
6133 6138 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6134 6139 crash IPython.
6135 6140
6136 6141 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6137 6142
6138 6143 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6139 6144
6140 6145 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6141 6146 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6142 6147 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6143 6148 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6144 6149 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6145 6150 work in _ofind.
6146 6151
6147 6152 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6148 6153 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6149 6154 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6150 6155 (famous last words).
6151 6156
6152 6157 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6153 6158 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6154 6159 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6155 6160 windows).
6156 6161
6157 6162 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6158 6163 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6159 6164
6160 6165 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6161 6166 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6162 6167 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6163 6168 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6164 6169
6165 6170 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6166 6171 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6167 6172 licences and announce it.
6168 6173
6169 6174 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6170 6175 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6171 6176 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6172 6177 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6173 6178
6174 6179 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6175 6180
6176 6181 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6177 6182 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6178 6183 lists.
6179 6184
6180 6185 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6181 6186 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6182 6187 are ok.
6183 6188
6184 6189 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6185 6190 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6186 6191
6187 6192 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6188 6193 this to Nathan.
6189 6194
6190 6195 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6191 6196
6192 6197 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6193 6198 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6194 6199 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6195 6200
6196 6201 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6197 6202 accepted). Cleaner.
6198 6203
6199 6204 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6200 6205 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6201 6206 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6202 6207 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6203 6208 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6204 6209
6205 6210 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6206 6211
6207 6212 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6208 6213 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6209 6214 history after a log replay.
6210 6215
6211 6216 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6212 6217 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6213 6218 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6214 6219 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6215 6220 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6216 6221 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6217 6222
6218 6223 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6219 6224 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6220 6225 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6221 6226 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6222 6227 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6223 6228
6224 6229 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6225 6230
6226 6231 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6227 6232 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6228 6233 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6229 6234 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6230 6235 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6231 6236 one: cache_size.
6232 6237
6233 6238 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6234 6239 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6235 6240 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6236 6241 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6237 6242
6238 6243 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6239 6244 @ or not).
6240 6245
6241 6246 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6242 6247 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6243 6248 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6244 6249 about licensing).
6245 6250
6246 6251 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6247 6252
6248 6253 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6249 6254 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6250 6255
6251 6256 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6252 6257 screen size for page() operations.
6253 6258
6254 6259 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6255 6260 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6256 6261 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6257 6262 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6258 6263
6259 6264 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6260 6265 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6261 6266 option name tables are clearer.
6262 6267
6263 6268 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6264 6269 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6265 6270 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6266 6271 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6267 6272 was also changed a little to align better.
6268 6273
6269 6274 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6270 6275 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6271 6276
6272 6277 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6273 6278 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6274 6279 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6275 6280
6276 6281 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6277 6282 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6278 6283 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6279 6284 he needs it.
6280 6285
6281 6286 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6282 6287
6283 6288 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6284 6289 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6285 6290 warning on it.
6286 6291
6287 6292 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6288 6293 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6289 6294 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6290 6295 was too long).
6291 6296
6292 6297 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6293 6298 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6294 6299 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6295 6300
6296 6301 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6297 6302 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6298 6303 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6299 6304 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6300 6305 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6301 6306 function for the same task.
6302 6307
6303 6308 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6304 6309
6305 6310 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6306 6311
6307 6312 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6308 6313 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6309 6314 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6310 6315
6311 6316 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6312 6317 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6313 6318 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6314 6319
6315 6320 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6316 6321 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6317 6322 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6318 6323
6319 6324 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6320 6325
6321 6326 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6322 6327
6323 6328 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6324 6329 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6325 6330 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6326 6331
6327 6332 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6328 6333
6329 6334 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6330 6335
6331 6336 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6332 6337
6333 6338 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6334 6339 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6335 6340 maintain.
6336 6341
6337 6342 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6338 6343 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6339 6344 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6340 6345 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6341 6346 compiled and startup is much faster.
6342 6347
6343 6348 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6344 6349 while without messing too much more with the code.
6345 6350
6346 6351 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6347 6352
6348 6353 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6349 6354
6350 6355 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6351 6356 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6352 6357 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6353 6358
6354 6359 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6355 6360 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6356 6361
6357 6362 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6358 6363 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6359 6364 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6360 6365 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6361 6366 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6362 6367 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6363 6368
6364 6369 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6365 6370 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6366 6371
6367 6372 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6368 6373 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6369 6374
6370 6375 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6371 6376 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6372 6377 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6373 6378 excessive.
6374 6379
6375 6380 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6376 6381 types (only first word was displayed).
6377 6382
6378 6383 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6379 6384
6380 6385 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6381 6386
6382 6387 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6383 6388 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6384 6389 travel along many directories.
6385 6390
6386 6391 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6387 6392 arguments with default values.
6388 6393
6389 6394 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6390 6395
6391 6396 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6392 6397 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6393 6398
6394 6399 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6395 6400
6396 6401 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6397 6402 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6398 6403 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6399 6404
6400 6405 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6401 6406
6402 6407 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6403 6408 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6404 6409 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6405 6410 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6406 6411 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6407 6412 purposes.
6408 6413
6409 6414 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6410 6415 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6411 6416 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6412 6417 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6413 6418 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6414 6419 one can simply say
6415 6420 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6416 6421 or even
6417 6422 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6418 6423
6419 6424 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6420 6425 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6421 6426 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6422 6427
6423 6428 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6424 6429 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6425 6430 they were defined in
6426 6431
6427 6432 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6428 6433
6429 6434 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6430 6435 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6431 6436 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6432 6437 these to show the same information.
6433 6438
6434 6439 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6435 6440
6436 6441 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6437 6442 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6438 6443 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6439 6444 backtracked on the whole class!)
6440 6445
6441 6446 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6442 6447 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6443 6448 everything works as before).
6444 6449
6445 6450 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6446 6451 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6447 6452 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6448 6453 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6449 6454
6450 6455 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6451 6456
6452 6457 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6453 6458
6454 6459 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6455 6460 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6456 6461
6457 6462 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6458 6463 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6459 6464 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6460 6465 this later.
6461 6466
6462 6467 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6463 6468
6464 6469 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6465 6470 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6466 6471 line option.
6467 6472
6468 6473 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6469 6474 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6470 6475 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6471 6476 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6472 6477 didn't return a result).
6473 6478
6474 6479 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6475 6480
6476 6481 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6477 6482
6478 6483 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6479 6484 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6480 6485 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6481 6486 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6482 6487
6483 6488 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6484 6489
6485 6490 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6486 6491
6487 6492 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6488 6493 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6489 6494
6490 6495 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6491 6496 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6492 6497 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6493 6498 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6494 6499 in with the next entry:
6495 6500
6496 6501 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6497 6502 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6498 6503 handling.
6499 6504
6500 6505 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6501 6506 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6502 6507 namespace protection and documentation.
6503 6508
6504 6509 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6505 6510
6506 6511 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6507 6512 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6508 6513
6509 6514 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6510 6515
6511 6516 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6512 6517
6513 6518 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6514 6519
6515 6520 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6516 6521 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6517 6522 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6518 6523 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6519 6524 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6520 6525
6521 6526 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6522 6527 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6523 6528 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6524 6529
6525 6530 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6526 6531
6527 6532 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6528 6533 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6529 6534
6530 6535 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6531 6536
6532 6537 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6533 6538
6534 6539 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6535 6540 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6536 6541 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6537 6542 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6538 6543 ScientificPython.
6539 6544
6540 6545 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6541 6546
6542 6547 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6543 6548 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6544 6549 when called with no args.
6545 6550
6546 6551 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6547 6552 closely.
6548 6553
6549 6554 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6550 6555 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6551 6556 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6552 6557 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6553 6558 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6554 6559
6555 6560 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6556 6561
6557 6562 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6558 6563 customizations there and access them via import.
6559 6564
6560 6565 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6561 6566
6562 6567 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6563 6568
6564 6569 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6565 6570 Nathan and Janko.
6566 6571
6567 6572 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6568 6573
6569 6574 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6570 6575 too long.
6571 6576
6572 6577 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6573 6578
6574 6579 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6575 6580 ?sin and sin?
6576 6581 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6577 6582 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6578 6583 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6579 6584 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6580 6585
6581 6586 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6582 6587
6583 6588 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6584 6589
6585 6590 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6586 6591 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6587 6592
6588 6593 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6589 6594 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6590 6595 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6591 6596 me).
6592 6597
6593 6598 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6594 6599 protected (reasonably).
6595 6600
6596 6601 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6597 6602 note through it (it was too long).
6598 6603
6599 6604 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6600 6605 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6601 6606 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6602 6607 parameters.
6603 6608
6604 6609
6605 6610 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6606 6611
6607 6612 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6608 6613 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6609 6614 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6610 6615
6611 6616 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6612 6617 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6613 6618 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6614 6619
6615 6620 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6616 6621
6617 6622 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6618 6623
6619 6624 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6620 6625
6621 6626 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6622 6627 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6623 6628 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6624 6629 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6625 6630 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6626 6631 break.
6627 6632
6628 6633 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6629 6634 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6630 6635 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6631 6636 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6632 6637 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6633 6638 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6634 6639
6635 6640 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6636 6641 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6637 6642 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6638 6643 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6639 6644 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6640 6645 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6641 6646 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6642 6647 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6643 6648 trick.
6644 6649
6645 6650 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6646 6651 session restoring.
6647 6652
6648 6653 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6649 6654 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6650 6655 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6651 6656 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6652 6657 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6653 6658
6654 6659 * Started ChangeLog.
