 def pysh():
     """Pysh is a set of modules and extensions to IPython which make shell-like
     usage with Python syntax more convenient.  Keep in mind that pysh is NOT a
     full-blown shell, so don't try to make it your /etc/passwd entry!
     
     In particular, it has no job control, so if you type Ctrl-Z (under Unix),
     you'll suspend pysh itself, not the process you just started.
 
     Since pysh is really nothing but a customized IPython, you should
     familiarize yourself with IPython's features.  This brief help mainly
     documents areas in which pysh differs from the normal IPython.
 
     ALIASES
     -------
     All of your $PATH has been loaded as IPython aliases, so you should be
     able to type any normal system command and have it executed.  See %alias? 
     and %unalias? for details on the alias facilities.
 
     SPECIAL SYNTAX
     --------------
     Any lines which begin with '~', '/' and '.' will be executed as shell
     commands instead of as Python code. The special escapes below are also
     recognized.  !cmd is valid in single or multi-line input, all others are
     only valid in single-line input:
 
     !cmd      - pass 'cmd' directly to the shell
     !!cmd     - execute 'cmd' and return output as a list (split on '\\n')
     $var=cmd  - capture output of cmd into var, as a string
     $$var=cmd - capture output of cmd into var, as a list (split on '\\n')
 
     The $/$$ syntaxes make Python variables from system output, which you can
     later use for further scripting.  The converse is also possible: when
     executing an alias or calling to the system via !/!!, you can expand any
     python variable or expression by prepending it with $.  Full details of
     the allowed syntax can be found in Python's PEP 215.
 
     A few brief examples will illustrate these:
 
         fperez[~/test]|3> !ls *s.py
         scopes.py  strings.py
 
     ls is an internal alias, so there's no need to use !:
         fperez[~/test]|4> ls *s.py
         scopes.py*  strings.py
 
     !!ls will return the output into a Python variable:
         fperez[~/test]|5> !!ls *s.py
                       <5> ['scopes.py', 'strings.py']
         fperez[~/test]|6> print _5
         ['scopes.py', 'strings.py']
 
     $ and $$ allow direct capture to named variables:
         fperez[~/test]|7> $astr = ls *s.py
         fperez[~/test]|8> astr
                       <8> 'scopes.py\\nstrings.py'
 
         fperez[~/test]|9> $$alist = ls *s.py
         fperez[~/test]|10> alist
                       <10> ['scopes.py', 'strings.py']
 
     alist is now a normal python list you can loop over.  Using $ will expand
     back the python values when alias calls are made:
         fperez[~/test]|11> for f in alist:
                       |..>     print 'file',f,
                       |..>     wc -l $f
                       |..>
         file scopes.py     13 scopes.py
         file strings.py      4 strings.py
 
     Note that you may need to protect your variables with braces if you want
     to append strings to their names.  To copy all files in alist to .bak
     extensions, you must use:
         fperez[~/test]|12> for f in alist:
                       |..>     cp $f ${f}.bak
 
     If you try using $f.bak, you'll get an AttributeError exception saying
     that your string object doesn't have a .bak attribute.  This is because
     the $ expansion mechanism allows you to expand full Python expressions:
         fperez[~/test]|13> echo "sys.platform is: $sys.platform"
         sys.platform is: linux2
 
     IPython's input history handling is still active, which allows you to
     rerun a single block of multi-line input by simply using exec:    
         fperez[~/test]|14> $$alist = ls *.eps
         fperez[~/test]|15> exec _i11
         file image2.eps    921 image2.eps
         file image.eps    921 image.eps
 
     While these are new special-case syntaxes, they are designed to allow very
     efficient use of the shell with minimal typing.  At an interactive shell
     prompt, conciseness of expression wins over readability.
 
     USEFUL FUNCTIONS AND MODULES
     ----------------------------
     The os, sys and shutil modules from the Python standard library are
     automatically loaded.  Some additional functions, useful for shell usage,
     are listed below.  You can request more help about them with '?'.
 
     shell   - execute a command in the underlying system shell    
     system  - like shell(), but return the exit status of the command
     sout    - capture the output of a command as a string
     lout    - capture the output of a command as a list (split on '\\n')
     getoutputerror - capture (output,error) of a shell command
 
     sout/lout are the functional equivalents of $/$$.  They are provided to
     allow you to capture system output in the middle of true python code,
     function definitions, etc (where $ and $$ are invalid).
 
     DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT
     --------------------
     Since each command passed by pysh to the underlying system is executed in
     a subshell which exits immediately, you can NOT use !cd to navigate the
     filesystem.
 
     Pysh provides its own builtin '%cd' magic command to move in the
     filesystem (the % is not required with automagic on).  It also maintains a
     list of visited directories (use %dhist to see it) and allows direct
     switching to any of them.  Type 'cd?' for more details.
 
     %pushd, %popd and %dirs are provided for directory stack handling.
 
     PROMPT CUSTOMIZATION
     --------------------
     
     The supplied ipythonrc-pysh profile comes with an example of a very
     colored and detailed prompt, mainly to serve as an illustration.  The
     valid escape sequences, besides color names, are:
 
         \\#  - Prompt number.
         \\D  - Dots, as many as there are digits in \\# (so they align).
         \\w  - Current working directory (cwd).
         \\W  - Basename of current working directory.
         \\XN - Where N=0..5. N terms of the cwd, with $HOME written as ~.
         \\YN - Where N=0..5. Like XN, but if ~ is term N+1 it's also shown.
         \\u  - Username.
         \\H  - Full hostname.
         \\h  - Hostname up to first '.'
         \\$  - Root symbol ($ or #).
         \\t  - Current time, in H:M:S format.
         \\v  - IPython release version.
         \\n  - Newline.
         \\r  - Carriage return.
         \\\\ - An explicitly escaped '\\'.
 
     You can configure your prompt colors using any ANSI color escape.  Each
     color escape sets the color for any subsequent text, until another escape
     comes in and changes things.  The valid color escapes are:
 
         \\C_Black
         \\C_Blue
         \\C_Brown
         \\C_Cyan
         \\C_DarkGray
         \\C_Green
         \\C_LightBlue
         \\C_LightCyan
         \\C_LightGray
         \\C_LightGreen
         \\C_LightPurple
         \\C_LightRed
         \\C_Purple
         \\C_Red
         \\C_White
         \\C_Yellow
         \\C_Normal - Stop coloring, defaults to your terminal settings.

 """Word completion for GNU readline 2.0.
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NOTE: This version is a re-implementation of rlcompleter with selectable
 namespace.
 
 The problem with rlcompleter is that it's hardwired to work with
 __main__.__dict__, and in some cases one may have 'sandboxed' namespaces. So
 this class is a ripoff of rlcompleter, with the namespace to work in as an
 optional parameter.
 
 This class can be used just like rlcompleter, but the Completer class now has
 a constructor with the optional 'namespace' parameter.
 
 A patch has been submitted to Python@sourceforge for these changes to go in
 the standard Python distribution.
 
 The patch went in for Python 2.3.  Once IPython drops support for Python 2.2,
 this file can be significantly reduced.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Original rlcompleter documentation:
 
 This requires the latest extension to the readline module (the
 completes keywords, built-ins and globals in __main__; when completing
 NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and
 completes its attributes.
 
 It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
 completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
 string module!
 
 Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
 
     readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
 
 Notes:
 
 - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and
 generally cause the completion to fail).  This is a feature -- since
 readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a
 traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save,
 reset and restore the tty state.
 
 - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary
 application defined code to be executed if an object with a
 __getattr__ hook is found.  Since it is the responsibility of the
 application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
 acceptable risk.  More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
 indexing operations) are *not* evaluated.
 
 - GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
 raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the completer
 features.  Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
 specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
 its input.
 
 - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
 used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.

 """String interpolation for Python (by Ka-Ping Yee, 14 Feb 2000).
 
 This module lets you quickly and conveniently interpolate values into
 strings (in the flavour of Perl or Tcl, but with less extraneous
 punctuation).  You get a bit more power than in the other languages,
 because this module allows subscripting, slicing, function calls,
 attribute lookup, or arbitrary expressions.  Variables and expressions
 are evaluated in the namespace of the caller.
 
 The itpl() function returns the result of interpolating a string, and
 printpl() prints out an interpolated string.  Here are some examples:
 
     from Itpl import printpl
     printpl("Here is a $string.")
     printpl("Here is a $module.member.")
     printpl("Here is an $object.member.")
     printpl("Here is a $functioncall(with, arguments).")
     printpl("Here is an ${arbitrary + expression}.")
     printpl("Here is an $array[3] member.")
     printpl("Here is a $dictionary['member'].")
 
 The filter() function filters a file object so that output through it
 is interpolated.  This lets you produce the illusion that Python knows
 how to do interpolation:
 
     import Itpl
     sys.stdout = Itpl.filter()
     f = "fancy"
     print "Isn't this $f?"
     print "Standard output has been replaced with a $sys.stdout object."
     sys.stdout = Itpl.unfilter()
     print "Okay, back $to $normal."
 
 Under the hood, the Itpl class represents a string that knows how to
 interpolate values.  An instance of the class parses the string once
 upon initialization; the evaluation and substitution can then be done
 each time the instance is evaluated with str(instance).  For example:
 
     from Itpl import Itpl
     s = Itpl("Here is $foo.")
     foo = 5
     print str(s)
     foo = "bar"
     print str(s)

 from IPython.genutils import list2dict2
 
 class Struct:
     """Class to mimic C structs but also provide convenient dictionary-like
     functionality.
 
     Instances can be initialized with a dictionary, a list of key=value pairs
     or both. If both are present, the dictionary must come first.
 
     Because Python classes provide direct assignment to their members, it's
     easy to overwrite normal methods (S.copy = 1 would destroy access to
     S.copy()). For this reason, all builtin method names are protected and
     can't be assigned to. An attempt to do s.copy=1 or s['copy']=1 will raise
     a KeyError exception. If you really want to, you can bypass this
     protection by directly assigning to __dict__: s.__dict__['copy']=1 will
     still work. Doing this will break functionality, though. As in most of
     Python, namespace protection is weakly enforced, so feel free to shoot
     yourself if you really want to.
 
     Note that this class uses more memory and is *much* slower than a regular
     dictionary, so be careful in situations where memory or performance are
     critical. But for day to day use it should behave fine. It is particularly
     convenient for storing configuration data in programs.
 
     +,+=,- and -= are implemented. +/+= do merges (non-destructive updates),
     -/-= remove keys from the original. See the method descripitions.
 
     This class allows a quick access syntax: both s.key and s['key'] are
     valid.  This syntax has a limitation: each 'key' has to be explicitly
     accessed by its original name. The normal s.key syntax doesn't provide
     access to the keys via variables whose values evaluate to the desired
     keys. An example should clarify this:
 
     Define a dictionary and initialize both with dict and k=v pairs:
     >>> d={'a':1,'b':2}
     >>> s=Struct(d,hi=10,ho=20)
     The return of __repr__ can be used to create a new instance:
     >>> s
     Struct({'ho': 20, 'b': 2, 'hi': 10, 'a': 1})
     __str__ (called by print) shows it's not quite a regular dictionary:
     >>> print s
     Struct {a: 1, b: 2, hi: 10, ho: 20}
     Access by explicitly named key with dot notation:
     >>> s.a
     1
     Or like a dictionary:
     >>> s['a']
     1
     If you want a variable to hold the key value, only dictionary access works:
     >>> key='hi'
     >>> s.key
     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
     AttributeError: Struct instance has no attribute 'key'
     >>> s[key]
     10
 
     Another limitation of the s.key syntax (and Struct(key=val)
     initialization): keys can't be numbers. But numeric keys can be used and
     accessed using the dictionary syntax. Again, an example:
 
     This doesn't work:
     >>> s=Struct(4='hi')
     SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression
     But this does:
     >>> s=Struct()
     >>> s[4]='hi'
     >>> s
     Struct({4: 'hi'})
     >>> s[4]
     'hi'

         This is similar to update(), but much more flexible.  First, a dict is
         made from data+key=value pairs. When merging this dict with the Struct
         S, the optional dictionary 'conflict' is used to decide what to do.
 
         If conflict is not given, the default behavior is to preserve any keys
         with their current value (the opposite of the update method's
         behavior).
 
         conflict is a dictionary of binary functions which will be used to
         solve key conflicts. It must have the following structure:
 
           conflict == { fn1 : [Skey1,Skey2,...], fn2 : [Skey3], etc }
 
         Values must be lists or whitespace separated strings which are
         automatically converted to lists of strings by calling string.split().
 
         Each key of conflict is a function which defines a policy for
         resolving conflicts when merging with the input data. Each fn must be
         a binary function which returns the desired outcome for a key
         conflict. These functions will be called as fn(old,new).
 
         An example is probably in order. Suppose you are merging the struct S
         with a dict D and the following conflict policy dict:
 
             S.merge(D,{fn1:['a','b',4], fn2:'key_c key_d'})
 
         If the key 'a' is found in both S and D, the merge method will call:
 
             S['a'] = fn1(S['a'],D['a'])
 
         As a convenience, merge() provides five (the most commonly needed)
         pre-defined policies: preserve, update, add, add_flip and add_s. The
         easiest explanation is their implementation:
 
           preserve = lambda old,new: old
           update   = lambda old,new: new
           add      = lambda old,new: old + new
           add_flip = lambda old,new: new + old  # note change of order!
           add_s    = lambda old,new: old + ' ' + new  # only works for strings!
 
         You can use those four words (as strings) as keys in conflict instead
         of defining them as functions, and the merge method will substitute
         the appropriate functions for you. That is, the call
 
           S.merge(D,{'preserve':'a b c','add':[4,5,'d'],my_function:[6]})
 
         will automatically substitute the functions preserve and add for the
         names 'preserve' and 'add' before making any function calls.
 
         For more complicated conflict resolution policies, you still need to
         construct your own functions. """

         There are two types of jobs which can be created:
 
         1. Jobs based on expressions which can be passed to an eval() call.
         The expression must be given as a string.  For example:
 
           job_manager.new('myfunc(x,y,z=1)'[,glob[,loc]])
 
         The given expression is passed to eval(), along with the optional
         global/local dicts provided.  If no dicts are given, they are
         extracted automatically from the caller's frame.
         
         A Python statement is NOT a valid eval() expression.  Basically, you
         can only use as an eval() argument something which can go on the right
         of an '=' sign and be assigned to a variable.
 
         For example,"print 'hello'" is not valid, but '2+3' is.
 
         2. Jobs given a function object, optionally passing additional
         positional arguments:
 
           job_manager.new(myfunc,x,y)
 
         The function is called with the given arguments.
 
         If you need to pass keyword arguments to your function, you must
         supply them as a dict named kw:
 
           job_manager.new(myfunc,x,y,kw=dict(z=1))
 
         The reason for this assymmetry is that the new() method needs to
         maintain access to its own keywords, and this prevents name collisions
         between arguments to new() and arguments to your own functions.
 
         In both cases, the result is stored in the job.result field of the
         background job object.
 
 
         Notes and caveats:
 
         1. All threads running share the same standard output.  Thus, if your
         background jobs generate output, it will come out on top of whatever
         you are currently writing.  For this reason, background jobs are best
         used with silent functions which simply return their output.
 
         2. Threads also all work within the same global namespace, and this
         system does not lock interactive variables.  So if you send job to the
         background which operates on a mutable object for a long time, and
         start modifying that same mutable object interactively (or in another
         backgrounded job), all sorts of bizarre behaviour will occur.
 
         3. If a background job is spending a lot of time inside a C extension
         module which does not release the Python Global Interpreter Lock
         (GIL), this will block the IPython prompt.  This is simply because the
         Python interpreter can only switch between threads at Python
         bytecodes.  While the execution is inside C code, the interpreter must
         simply wait unless the extension module releases the GIL.
 
         4. There is no way, due to limitations in the Python threads library,
         to kill a thread once it has started."""

       """One more defense for GUI apps that call sys.excepthook.
 
       GUI frameworks like wxPython trap exceptions and call
       sys.excepthook themselves.  I guess this is a feature that
       enables them to keep running after exceptions that would
       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython
       which excepts to catch all of the program exceptions with a try:
       except: statement.
 
       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if
       any app directly invokes sys.excepthook, it will look to the user like
       IPython crashed.  In order to work around this, we can disable the
       CrashHandler and replace it with this excepthook instead, which prints a
       regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
       call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython
       crashes.
 
       This hook should be used sparingly, only in places which are not likely
       to be true IPython errors.
