3 3 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
4 4 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
5 5 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
6
7 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
8 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
9 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
10 properly flush the output cache.
6 11
7 12 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
8 13
9 14 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
10 15 are quoted
11 16
12 17 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
13 18
14 19 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
15 20 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
16 21
17 22 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
18 23 separator, since space is legal in path names.
19 24
20 25 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
21 26
22 27 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
23 28 %upgrade magic
24 29
25 30 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
26 31
27 32 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
28 33 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
29 34 reported by Zachary Pincus.

31 36 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

33 38 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
34 39 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
35 40
36 41 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
37 42 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
38 43 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
39 44 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
40 45 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.

42 47 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
43 48
44 49 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
45 50 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
46 51
47 52 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
48 53
49 54 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
50 55 Torsten Marek.
51 56
52 57 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
53 58
54 59 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
55 60 line ranges works again.
56 61
57 62 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
58 63
59 64 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
60 65 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
61 66 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking aobut it quite a bit, it may
62 67 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
63 68 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
64 69
65 70 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
66 71 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
67 72 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
68 73 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
69 74 more.
70 75
71 76 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
72 77
73 78 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
74 79 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
75 80
76 81 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
77 82
78 83 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
79 84 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
80 85
81 86 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
82 87
83 88 * Magic.py: %save works again.
84 89
85 90 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
86 91
87 92 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
88 93
89 94 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
90 95 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
91 96 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
92 97
93 98
94 99 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
95 100
96 101 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
97 102 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
98 103 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
99 104 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
100 105
101 106 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
102 107 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
103 108
104 109 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
105 110 contributed by marienz to close
106 111 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
107 112
108 113 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
109 114
110 115 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
111 116
112 117 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
113 118 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
114 119 nonsense.
115 120
116 121 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
117 122
118 123 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
119 124 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
120 125
121 126 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
122 127
123 128 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
124 129
125 130 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
126 131 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
127 132
128 133 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
129 134
130 135 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
131 136 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
132 137 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
133 138 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
134 139 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
135 140 SAGE team.
136 141 (Demo.edit): added and edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
137 142 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
138 143
139 144 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
140 145 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
141 146 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
142 147 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
143 148 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
144 149
145 150 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
146 151
147 152 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
148 153 correctly now (on Linux)
149 154
150 155 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
151 156 warnings
152 157
153 158 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
154 159
155 160 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
156 161
157 162
158 163 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
159 164
160 165 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
161 166 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
162 167 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
163 168 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
164 169 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
165 170 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
166 171 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
167 172 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
168 173
169 174 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
170 175
171 176 * aliases can now be %store'd
172 177
173 178 * path.py move to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
174 179 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
175 180 at __init__.
176 181
177 182 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
178 183 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
179 184
180 185 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
181 186
182 187 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
183 188 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
184 189 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
185 190
186 191 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
187 192
188 193 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
189 194
190 195 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
191 196
192 197 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
193 198 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
194 199 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
195 200 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
196 201
197 202 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
198 203 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
199 204
200 205 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
201 206
202 207 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
203 208 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
204 209 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
205 210 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
206 211
207 212 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
208 213 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
209 214 usage.
210 215
211 216 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
212 217 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
213 218 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
214 219
215 220 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
216 221
217 222 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
218 223 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
219 224
220 225 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
221 226 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
222 227 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
223 228
224 229 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
225 230
226 231 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
227 232
228 233 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
229 234
230 235 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
231 236 are now more helpful:
232 237 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
233 238
234 239 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
235 240
236 241 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
237 242 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
238 243
239 244 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
240 245
241 246 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
242 247 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
243 248
244 249 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
245 250 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
246 251 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
247 252
248 253 * Merged 1071-1076 from banches/0.7.1
249 254
250 255
251 256 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
252 257
253 258 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
254 259 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
255 260
256 261 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
257 262
258 263 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
259 264 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
260 265 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
261 266 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
262 267 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
263 268 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
264 269
265 270 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
266 271
267 272 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
268 273 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
269 274 \python24\scripts).
270 275
271 276 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
272 277 egg.
273 278
274 279 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
275 280
276 281 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
277 282
278 283 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
279 284
280 285 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
281 286
282 287 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
283 288
284 289 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
285 290 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
286 291 \python24\scripts).
287 292
288 293 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
289 294 egg.
290 295
291 296 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
292 297
293 298 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
294 299 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
295 300 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
296 301
297 302 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
298 303 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
299 304 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
300 305 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
301 306
302 307 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
303 308 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
304 309 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
305 310 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
306 311 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
307 312 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
308 313 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
309 314 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
310 315 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
311 316 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
312 317 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
313 318 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
314 319
315 320 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
316 321
317 322 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
318 323 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
319 324 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
320 325 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
321 326
322 327 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
323 328
324 329 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
325 330 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
326 331 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
327 332 importing extensions easy.
328 333
329 334 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
330 335 classes / instances of those classes.
331 336
332 337 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
333 338 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
334 339 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
335 340 the user.
336 341
337 342 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
338 343 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
339 344 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
340 345
341 346 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
342 347
343 348 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
344 349 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
345 350 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
346 351 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
347 352 others may also catch any problems. Also made
348 353 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
349 354 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
350 355 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
351 356 the method.
352 357
353 358 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
354 359
355 360 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
356 361 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
357 362
358 363 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
359 364
360 365 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
361 366 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
362 367 Vivian.
363 368
364 369 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
365 370 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
366 371 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
367 372 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
368 373 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
369 374
370 375 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
371 376
372 377 * Ipython/magic.py:Reverted back to old %edit functionality
373 378 that returns file contents on exit.
374 379
375 380 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
376 381 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
377 382 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
378 383 sc files=ls
379 384 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
380 385 print p,p.mtime
381 386
382 387 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
383 388 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
384 389 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
385 390 instead of syntax error.
386 391
387 392
388 393 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
389 394
390 395 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
391 396 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
392 397 data.
393 398
394 399 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
395 400 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
396 401 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
397 402 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
398 403
399 404 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
400 405 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
401 406 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
402 407 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
403 408 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
404 409 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
405 410
406 411 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
407 412
408 413 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
409 414 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
410 415 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
411 416 current dir.
412 417
413 418 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
414 419 had to create new files.
415 420
416 421 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
417 422 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
418 423 future.
419 424
420 425 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
421 426 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
422 427 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
423 428
424 429
425 430 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
426 431
427 432 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
428 433 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
429 434 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
430 435 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
431 436 later.
432 437
433 438 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
434 439 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
435 440
436 441 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
437 442
438 443 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
439 444 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
440 445 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
441 446 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
442 447 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
443 448 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
444 449
445 450 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
446 451
447 452 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
448 453 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
449 454 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
450 455 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
451 456 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
452 457 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
453 458 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
454 459 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
455 460 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
456 461 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
457 462
458 463 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
459 464 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
460 465 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
461 466 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
462 467
463 468 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
464 469 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
465 470 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to kee doing
466 471 "setup.py install" between changes).
467 472
468 473 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
469 474 if 1:
470 475 !ls
471 476 !!ls
472 477
473 478 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
474 479
475 480 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
476 481 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
477 482 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
478 483 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
479 484
480 485 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
481 486 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
482 487 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
483 488
484 489 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
485 490
486 491 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the the
487 492 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
488 493 win32.
489 494
490 495 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
491 496
492 497 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
493 498
494 499 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
495 500 ready for release.
496 501
497 502 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
498 503 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
499 504 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
500 505 where to copy the info from.
501 506
502 507 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
503 508
504 509 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
505 510 support in the release tools as well.
506 511
507 512 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
508 513
509 514 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
510 515 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
511 516 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
512 517 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
513 518
514 519 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
515 520 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
516 521 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
517 522
518 523 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
519 524 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
520 525
521 526 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
522 527 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
523 528 printer not to work.
524 529
525 530 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
526 531
527 532 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
528 533 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
529 534
530 535 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
531 536
532 537 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
533 538 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
534 539 Moad for help with tracking it down.
535 540
536 541 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
537 542 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
538 543 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
539 544
540 545 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
541 546 Ville's patch.
542 547
543 548 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
544 549
545 550 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
546 551 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
547 552 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
548 553 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
549 554 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
550 555 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
551 556 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
552 557
553 558 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
554 559 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
555 560 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
556 561
557 562 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
558 563
559 564 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
560 565 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
561 566
562 567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
563 568 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
564 569 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
565 570 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
566 571 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
567 572 twister).
568 573
569 574 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
570 575 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
571 576 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
572 577
573 578 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
574 579 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
575 580 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
576 581 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
577 582 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
578 583 something inside the dis module.
579 584
580 585 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
581 586
582 587 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
583 588 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
584 589 follows the discussion in
585 590 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
586 591
587 592 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
588 593 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
589 594 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
590 595
591 596 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
592 597 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
593 598 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
594 599
595 600 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
596 601 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
597 602 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
598 603 speed up this routine.
599 604
600 605 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
601 606 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
602 607 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
603 608 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
604 609 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
605 610 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
606 611 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
607 612 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
608 613
609 614 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
610 615 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
611 616 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
612 617
613 618 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
614 619 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
615 620 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
616 621 misteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
617 622 setters don't do anything).
618 623
619 624 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
620 625
621 626 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
622 627 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
623 628 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
624 629 falling out of sync...)
625 630
626 631 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
627 632 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
628 633 as loops).
629 634
630 635 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
631 636 win32 system access.
632 637
633 638 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
634 639
635 640 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
636 641 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
637 642 thread-safe.
638 643 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
639 644 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
640 645 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
641 646 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
642 647 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
643 648 can still happen.
644 649 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
645 650 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
646 651 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
647 652 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
648 653 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
649 654 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
650 655 cleanly.
651 656
652 657 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
653 658 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
654 659 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
655 660 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
656 661 users' persisted data.
657 662
658 663 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
659 664 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
660 665 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
661 666 multiline input (such as macros).
662 667
663 668 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
664 669 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
665 670 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
666 671 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
667 672 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
668 673 informative).
669 674
670 675 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
671 676 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
672 677
673 678 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
674 679 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
675 680 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
676 681
677 682 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
678 683 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
679 684 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
680 685 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
681 686 2.3-specific features quite yet).
682 687 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
683 688 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
684 689 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
685 690 details.
686 691
687 692 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
688 693 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
689 694 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
690 695 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
691 696 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
692 697
693 698 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
694 699 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
695 700 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
696 701 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
697 702 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
698 703
699 704 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
700 705 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
701 706 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
702 707 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
703 708 options to %logstart. Closes
704 709 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
705 710 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
706 711
707 712 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
708 713
709 714 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
710 715 better hadnle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
711 716 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
712 717 list:
713 718 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
714 719
715 720 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
716 721
717 722 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
718 723 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
719 724 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
720 725 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
721 726
722 727 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
723 728 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
724 729 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
725 730 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
726 731 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
727 732
728 733 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
729 734 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
730 735 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
731 736 true by default.
732 737
733 738 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
734 739 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
735 740 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
736 741 a special role in the middle of the core code.
737 742
738 743 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
739 744
740 745 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
741 746 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
742 747 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
743 748 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
744 749 version committed).
745 750
746 751 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
747 752 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
748 753 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
749 754 discussion on the user list.
750 755
751 756 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
752 757 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
753 758 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
754 759 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
755 760
756 761 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
757 762
758 763 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
759 764 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
760 765 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
761 766
762 767 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
763 768 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
764 769 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
765 770
766 771 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
767 772 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
768 773 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
769 774 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
770 775 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
771 776 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
772 777 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
773 778 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
774 779 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
775 780 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
776 781 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
777 782 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
778 783 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
779 784 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
780 785 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
781 786 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
782 787 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
783 788 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
784 789 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
785 790 branch refactoring.
786 791
787 792 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
788 793
789 794 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
790 795 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
791 796
792 797 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
793 798 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
794 799 change allows us top properly handle completion with distinct
795 800 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
796 801 worked correctly).
797 802
798 803 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
799 804 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
800 805 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
801 806
802 807 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
803 808
804 809 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
805 810 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
806 811 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
807 812 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
808 813 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
809 814 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
810 815 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
811 816 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
812 817
813 818 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
814 819
815 820 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
816 821 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
817 822 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
818 823 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
819 824 on this.
820 825
821 826 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
822 827
823 828 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
824 829 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
825 830 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
826 831 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
827 832 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
828 833
829 834 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
830 835
831 836 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
832 837 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
833 838 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
834 839 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
835 840
836 841 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
837 842
838 843 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
839 844 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
840 845 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
841 846
842 847 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
843 848
844 849 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
845 850 startup time.
846 851
847 852 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
848 853 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
849 854 it's working in all cases.
850 855
851 856 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
852 857 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
853 858 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
854 859 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
855 860 per-search basis.
856 861
857 862 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
858 863
859 864 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
860 865 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
861 866 of a patch by Jorgen.
862 867
863 868 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
864 869
865 870 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
866 871 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
867 872 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
868 873
869 874 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
870 875
871 876 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
872 877 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
873 878 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
874 879 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
875 880
876 881 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
877 882
878 883 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
879 884 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
880 885 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
881 886 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
882 887 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
883 888 implementing this functionality.
884 889
885 890 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
886 891
887 892 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
888 893 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
889 894 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
890 895 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
891 896 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
892 897 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
893 898 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
894 899
895 900 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
896 901
897 902 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
898 903 reported by Stephen Walton.
899 904
900 905 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
901 906
902 907 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
903 908
904 909 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
905 910 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
906 911
907 912 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
908 913
909 914 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
910 915 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
911 916
912 917 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
913 918 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
914 919
915 920 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
916 921
917 922 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
918 923 finishing.
919 924
920 925 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
921 926 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
922 927
923 928 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
924 929 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
925 930 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
926 931
927 932 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
928 933 code, handy in general.
929 934
930 935 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
931 936 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
932 937 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
933 938
934 939 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
935 940
936 941 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
937 942 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
938 943 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
939 944 testing, though.
940 945 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
941 946 like this before...
942 947
943 948 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
944 949 non-dirs in win32 registry.
945 950
946 951 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
947 952 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
948 953
949 954 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
950 955
951 956 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
952 957 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
953 958 F. Mantegazza.
954 959
955 960 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
956 961
957 962 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
958 963 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
959 964 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
960 965
961 966 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
962 967 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
963 968 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
964 969 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
965 970 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
966 971 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
967 972
968 973 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
969 974
970 975 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
971 976 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
972 977 beyond readline-based environments.
973 978
974 979 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
975 980
976 981 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
977 982
978 983 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
979 984 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
980 985 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
981 986 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
982 987 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
983 988
984 989 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
985 990
986 991 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
987 992 contains non-string attribute. Closes
988 993 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
989 994
990 995 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
991 996
992 997 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
993 998
994 999 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
995 1000
996 1001 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
997 1002 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
998 1003 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
999 1004 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1000 1005 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1001 1006 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).

1003 1008 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1004 1009
1005 1010 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1006 1011
1007 1012 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1008 1013
1009 1014 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1010 1015 invalid $HOME under win32.
1011 1016
1012 1017 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1013 1018
1014 1019 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1015 1020 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1016 1021 simpler and a bit faster.
1017 1022
1018 1023 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1019 1024 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1020 1025 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1021 1026 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1022 1027 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1023 1028
1024 1029 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1025 1030 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1026 1031 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1027 1032
1028 1033 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1029 1034 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1030 1035
1031 1036 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1032 1037 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1033 1038 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1034 1039 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1035 1040 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1036 1041 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1037 1042 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1038 1043
1039 1044 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1040 1045
1041 1046 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1042 1047
1043 1048 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1044 1049
1045 1050 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1046 1051 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
1047 1052
1048 1053 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1049 1054
1050 1055 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1051 1056 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1052 1057 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1053 1058 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1054 1059 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1055 1060 for the contribution.
1056 1061
1057 1062 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1058 1063 slightly modified version of the patch in
1059 1064 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1060 1065 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1061 1066 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

1065 1070 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1066 1071 I/O a bit more.
1067 1072
1068 1073 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1069 1074 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.

1074 1079
1075 1080 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1076 1081 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1077 1082 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1078 1083 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1079 1084
1080 1085 readline_remove_delims -/~

1095 1100
1096 1101 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1097 1102
1098 1103 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1099 1104 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1100 1105 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
1101 1106
1102 1107 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1103 1108
1104 1109 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1105 1110 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1106 1111
1107 1112 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1108 1113
1109 1114 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1110 1115 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1111 1116
1112 1117 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1113 1118 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1114 1119 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1115 1120 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1116 1121 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1117 1122 for more details.
1118 1123
1119 1124 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1120 1125 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1121 1126 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1122 1127 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
1123 1128
1124 1129 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1125 1130
1126 1131 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1127 1132 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1128 1133 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1129 1134 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1130 1135 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1131 1136
1132 1137 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1133 1138 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1134 1139 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1135 1140
1136 1141 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1137 1142
1138 1143 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
1139 1144
1140 1145 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1141 1146
1142 1147 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1143 1148 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1144 1149 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1145 1150 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1146 1151 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1147 1152
1148 1153 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1149 1154
1150 1155 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1151 1156
1152 1157 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1153 1158 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1154 1159 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1155 1160 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1156 1161 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1157 1162
1158 1163 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1159 1164 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1160 1165 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1161 1166 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1162 1167 take the text parameter.
1163 1168
1164 1169 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1165 1170 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1166 1171 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1167 1172 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1168 1173 pysh profile to include the line
1169 1174
1170 1175 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1171 1176
1172 1177 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1173 1178 delete pysh.py and the line
1174 1179
1175 1180 execfile pysh.py
1176 1181
1177 1182 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1178 1183
1179 1184 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1180 1185 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1181 1186 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1182 1187 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1183 1188 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1184 1189
1185 1190 * pysh.py:
1186 1191
1187 1192 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1188 1193
1189 1194 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1190 1195 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1191 1196 want it can still turn it off.
1192 1197
1193 1198 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1194 1199 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1195 1200 off by default.
1196 1201
1197 1202 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1198 1203 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1199 1204 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1200 1205 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1201 1206 calls.
1202 1207
1203 1208 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1204 1209
1205 1210 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1206 1211 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1207 1212 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1208 1213
1209 1214 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1210 1215
1211 1216 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1212 1217 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1213 1218 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1214 1219 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1215 1220
1216 1221 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1217 1222 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1218 1223 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1219 1224 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1220 1225
1221 1226 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1222 1227
1223 1228 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1224 1229 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1225 1230
1226 1231 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1227 1232 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1228 1233 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1229 1234 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1230 1235 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1231 1236 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1232 1237 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1233 1238 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1234 1239
1235 1240 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1236 1241
1237 1242 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1238 1243 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1239 1244 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1240 1245 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1241 1246 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1242 1247 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1243 1248 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1244 1249 add new completers at runtime.
1245 1250
1246 1251 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1247 1252
1248 1253 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1249 1254 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1250 1255 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1251 1256 ? system.
1252 1257
1253 1258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1254 1259 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1255 1260 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1256 1261 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1257 1262 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1258 1263 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1259 1264 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1260 1265 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1261 1266
1262 1267 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1263 1268
1264 1269 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1265 1270 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1266 1271 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1267 1272 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1268 1273 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1269 1274
1270 1275 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1271 1276 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1272 1277 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1273 1278 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1274 1279 add:
1275 1280
1276 1281 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1277 1282 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
1278 1283
1279 1284 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1280 1285
1281 1286 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1282 1287 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1283 1288 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1284 1289 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1285 1290
1286 1291 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1287 1292 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1288 1293 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1289 1294 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1290 1295 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1291 1296 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1292 1297 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1293 1298 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1294 1299 further, simply bind them to any other name.
1295 1300
1296 1301 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1297 1302
1298 1303 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1299 1304 prompt namespace handling.
1300 1305
1301 1306 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1302 1307
1303 1308 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1304 1309 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1305 1310 trips the emacs python mode).
1306 1311 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1307 1312 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1308 1313 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1309 1314 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1310 1315 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1311 1316 calls will be made at runtime.
1312 1317
1313 1318 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1314 1319
1315 1320 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1316 1321 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1317 1322 the call to %history.
1318 1323

1321 1326 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1322 1327
1323 1328 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1324 1329 ipmagic() function calls.
1325 1330
1326 1331 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1327 1332 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1328 1333
1329 1334 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1330 1335
1331 1336 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1332 1337 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1333 1338 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1334 1339 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1335 1340 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1336 1341 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
1337 1342 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
1338 1343 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
1339 1344
1340 1345 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1341 1346
1342 1347 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
1343 1348 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
1344 1349 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
1345 1350 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
1346 1351 Ville Vainio.

1350 1355 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
1351 1356 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
1352 1357 define the ones they personally like.
1353 1358
1354 1359 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1355 1360
1356 1361 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
1357 1362 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
1358 1363
1359 1364 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1360 1365
1361 1366 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
1362 1367 into keys (for prompts, for example).
1363 1368
1364 1369 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
1365 1370 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
1366 1371 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
1367 1372 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
1368 1373 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
1369 1374 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
1370 1375 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
1371 1376 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
1372 1377
1373 1378 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
1374 1379 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
1375 1380 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
1376 1381 modified version of the original Debian patch at
1377 1382 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
1378 1383
1379 1384 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1380 1385
1381 1386 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
1382 1387 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
1383 1388 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
1384 1389
1385 1390 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
1386 1391 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
1387 1392 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
1388 1393
1389 1394 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
1390 1395
1391 1396 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1392 1397
1393 1398 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
1394 1399 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
1395 1400 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
1396 1401 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
1397 1402 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
1398 1403 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
1399 1404 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
1400 1405 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
1401 1406 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
1402 1407 system is a separate implementation).
1403 1408
1404 1409 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
1405 1410 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
1406 1411 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
1407 1412 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
1408 1413 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
1409 1414 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
1410 1415 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
1411 1416 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
1412 1417 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
1413 1418 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
1414 1419 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
1415 1420
1416 1421 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1417 1422
1418 1423 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
1419 1424 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
1420 1425 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
1421 1426 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
1422 1427 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
1423 1428 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
1424 1429 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
1425 1430 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
1426 1431
1427 1432 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1428 1433
1429 1434 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
1430 1435 previous call produced a syntax error.
1431 1436
1432 1437 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1433 1438 classes without constructor.
1434 1439
1435 1440 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1436 1441
1437 1442 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
1438 1443 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
1439 1444 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
1440 1445 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
1441 1446 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
1442 1447 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
1443 1448 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
1444 1449
1445 1450 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1446 1451
1447 1452 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
1448 1453 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
1449 1454
1450 1455 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1451 1456
1452 1457 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
1453 1458 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
1454 1459 optimizations.
1455 1460
1456 1461 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
1457 1462 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
1458 1463
1459 1464 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1460 1465
1461 1466 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
1462 1467 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
1463 1468 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
1464 1469 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
1465 1470 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
1466 1471 avoid annoying the lists further.
1467 1472
1468 1473 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
1469 1474
1470 1475 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1471 1476
1472 1477 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
1473 1478 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
1474 1479 norm definitions.
1475 1480 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
1476 1481 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
1477 1482 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
1478 1483
1479 1484 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
1480 1485 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
1481 1486 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
1482 1487 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
1483 1488 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
1484 1489
1485 1490 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
1486 1491 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
1487 1492 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
1488 1493 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
1489 1494
1490 1495 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
1491 1496 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
1492 1497 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
1493 1498 fixes.
1494 1499
1495 1500 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
1496 1501 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
1497 1502 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
1498 1503 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
1499 1504 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
1500 1505 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
1501 1506 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
1502 1507
1503 1508 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
1504 1509
1505 1510 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1506 1511
1507 1512 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
1508 1513 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
1509 1514 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
1510 1515 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
1511 1516 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
1512 1517 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
1513 1518 Panel.
1514 1519
1515 1520 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
1516 1521 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
1517 1522 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
1518 1523 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
1519 1524 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
1520 1525
1521 1526 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1522 1527
1523 1528 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
1524 1529 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
1525 1530
1526 1531 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
1527 1532
1528 1533 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1529 1534
1530 1535 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
1531 1536 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
1532 1537 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
1533 1538 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
1534 1539 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
1535 1540 python shell.
1536 1541
1537 1542 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
1538 1543 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
1539 1544 on assignments. This closes
1540 1545 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
1541 1546 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
1542 1547 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
1543 1548
1544 1549 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1545 1550
1546 1551 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
1547 1552 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
1548 1553
1549 1554 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
1550 1555
1551 1556 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1552 1557
1553 1558 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
1554 1559 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
1555 1560
1556 1561 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1557 1562
1558 1563 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1559 1564 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
1560 1565 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
1561 1566
1562 1567 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1563 1568
1564 1569 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
1565 1570 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
1566 1571 'parent' object were present on the same line.
1567 1572
1568 1573 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1569 1574
1570 1575 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
1571 1576 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
1572 1577 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
1573 1578
1574 1579 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
1575 1580 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
1576 1581 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
1577 1582
1578 1583 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1579 1584
1580 1585 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
1581 1586 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
1582 1587
1583 1588 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1584 1589
1585 1590 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
1586 1591 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
1587 1592 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
1588 1593
1589 1594 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1590 1595
1591 1596 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
1592 1597 reported by Prabhu.
1593 1598 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
1594 1599 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
1595 1600 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
1596 1601
1597 1602 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
1598 1603 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
1599 1604
1600 1605 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
1601 1606 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
1602 1607 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
1603 1608 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
1604 1609 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
1605 1610 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
1606 1611
1607 1612 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
1608 1613
1609 1614 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1610 1615
1611 1616 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
1612 1617 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
1613 1618 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
1614 1619 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
1615 1620
1616 1621 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
1617 1622 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
1618 1623
1619 1624 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
1620 1625 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
1621 1626 typed at the IPython cmd line.
1622 1627 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
1623 1628 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
1624 1629 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
1625 1630 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
1626 1631
1627 1632 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
1628 1633 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
1629 1634 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
1630 1635
1631 1636 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
1632 1637 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
1633 1638 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
1634 1639 before.
1635 1640
1636 1641 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1637 1642
1638 1643 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
1639 1644 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
1640 1645 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
1641 1646 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
1642 1647
1643 1648 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
1644 1649 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
1645 1650 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
1646 1651 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
1647 1652 timing very short-running code.
1648 1653
1649 1654 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
1650 1655 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
1651 1656 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
1652 1657 utility.
1653 1658
1654 1659 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
1655 1660 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
1656 1661 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
1657 1662 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
1658 1663 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
1659 1664 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
1660 1665 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
1661 1666 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
1662 1667
1663 1668 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
1664 1669 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
1665 1670 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
1666 1671
1667 1672 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
1668 1673 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
1669 1674 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
1670 1675 is for).
1671 1676
1672 1677 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
1673 1678 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
1674 1679 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
1675 1680 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
1676 1681 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
1677 1682
1678 1683 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1679 1684
1680 1685 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
1681 1686 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
1682 1687 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
1683 1688 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
1684 1689 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
1685 1690
1686 1691 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
1687 1692 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
1688 1693 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
1689 1694 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
1690 1695 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
1691 1696 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
1692 1697
1693 1698 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1694 1699
1695 1700 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
1696 1701 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
1697 1702
1698 1703 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1699 1704
1700 1705 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
1701 1706 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
1702 1707 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
1703 1708 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
1704 1709
1705 1710 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
1706 1711
1707 1712 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1708 1713
1709 1714 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
1710 1715 setting with -d option.
1711 1716
1712 1717 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
1713 1718 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
1714 1719 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
1715 1720 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
1716 1721
1717 1722 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1718 1723
1719 1724 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
1720 1725 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
1721 1726
1722 1727 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
1723 1728 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
1724 1729 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
1725 1730 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
1726 1731 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
1727 1732 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
1728 1733 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
1729 1734 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
1730 1735 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
1731 1736 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
1732 1737 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
1733 1738
1734 1739 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1735 1740
1736 1741 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
1737 1742 cache when empty lines were present.
1738 1743
1739 1744 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1740 1745
1741 1746 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
1742 1747 options for WX and GTK.
1743 1748
1744 1749 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1745 1750
1746 1751 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
1747 1752 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
1748 1753 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
1749 1754 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
1750 1755 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
1751 1756 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
1752 1757 limitations, this is a great improvement.
1753 1758
1754 1759 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
1755 1760 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
1756 1761
1757 1762 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1758 1763
1759 1764 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
1760 1765 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
1761 1766 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
1762 1767 many thanks.
1763 1768
1764 1769 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
1765 1770 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
1766 1771 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
1767 1772
1768 1773 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1769 1774
1770 1775 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
1771 1776 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
1772 1777 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
1773 1778
1774 1779 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
1775 1780
1776 1781 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1777 1782
1778 1783 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
1779 1784 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
1780 1785 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
1781 1786
1782 1787 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1783 1788
1784 1789 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
1785 1790 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
1786 1791
1787 1792 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1788 1793
1789 1794 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
1790 1795 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
1791 1796 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
1792 1797 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
1793 1798 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
1794 1799 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
1795 1800 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
1796 1801
1797 1802 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1798 1803
1799 1804 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
1800 1805 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
1801 1806 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
1802 1807 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
1803 1808
1804 1809 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
1805 1810 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
1806 1811
1807 1812 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1808 1813
1809 1814 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
1810 1815 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
1811 1816
1812 1817 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
1813 1818 use throughout ipython.
1814 1819
1815 1820 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
1816 1821 OInspect.getdoc() function.
1817 1822
1818 1823 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
1819 1824 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
1820 1825 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
1821 1826 handling cross-thread exceptions).
1822 1827
1823 1828 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1824 1829
1825 1830 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
1826 1831 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
1827 1832 report by Francesc Alted.
1828 1833
1829 1834 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1830 1835
1831 1836 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
1832 1837 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
1833 1838
1834 1839 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1835 1840
1836 1841 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
1837 1842 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
1838 1843 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
1839 1844 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
1840 1845 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
1841 1846 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
1842 1847 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
1843 1848 correctly set.
1844 1849
1845 1850 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1846 1851
1847 1852 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
1848 1853 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
1849 1854 import requirement of PEP-328.
1850 1855
1851 1856 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
1852 1857 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
1853 1858 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
1854 1859 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
1855 1860
1856 1861 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
1857 1862
1858 1863 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1859 1864
1860 1865 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
1861 1866 via a normal python function call.
1862 1867
1863 1868 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
1864 1869 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
1865 1870 2.4.
1866 1871
1867 1872 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1868 1873
1869 1874 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
1870 1875 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
1871 1876 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
1872 1877 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
1873 1878 is given to the user).
1874 1879
1875 1880 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1876 1881
1877 1882 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
1878 1883 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
1879 1884 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
1880 1885 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
1881 1886
1882 1887 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
1883 1888 python 2.2.
1884 1889
1885 1890 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
1886 1891 banner arg for embedded customization.
1887 1892
1888 1893 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
1889 1894 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
1890 1895 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
1891 1896 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
1892 1897 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
1893 1898 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
1894 1899
1895 1900 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
1896 1901 minor changes to debian dir.
1897 1902
1898 1903 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
1899 1904 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
1900 1905 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
1901 1906 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
1902 1907
1903 1908 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1904 1909
1905 1910 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
1906 1911 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
1907 1912 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
1908 1913 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
1909 1914 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
1910 1915
1911 1916 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1912 1917
1913 1918 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
1914 1919 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
1915 1920
1916 1921 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1917 1922
1918 1923 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
1919 1924 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
1920 1925
1921 1926 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
1922 1927
1923 1928 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1924 1929
1925 1930 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
1926 1931 updated.
1927 1932
1928 1933 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1929 1934
1930 1935 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
1931 1936 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
1932 1937 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
1933 1938 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
1934 1939 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
1935 1940
1936 1941 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
1937 1942 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
1938 1943 split regexp. Closes
1939 1944 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
1940 1945 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
1941 1946 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
1942 1947 extensions.
1943 1948
1944 1949 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
1945 1950 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
1946 1951 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
1947 1952 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
1948 1953 for generic code and for matplotlib.
1949 1954
1950 1955 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
1951 1956 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
1952 1957 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
1953 1958 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
1954 1959
1955 1960 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
1956 1961 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
1957 1962
1958 1963 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
1959 1964 fine-tune banner.
1960 1965
1961 1966 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
1962 1967 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
1963 1968
1964 1969 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1965 1970
1966 1971 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
1967 1972 were missing.
1968 1973
1969 1974 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
1970 1975 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
1971 1976 valid at the command line.
1972 1977
1973 1978 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
1974 1979 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
1975 1980
1976 1981 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1977 1982
1978 1983 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
1979 1984 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
1980 1985 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
1981 1986
1982 1987 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1983 1988
1984 1989 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
1985 1990 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
1986 1991 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
1987 1992 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
1988 1993 continue to use the standard profiler.
1989 1994
1990 1995 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1991 1996
1992 1997 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
1993 1998 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
1994 1999 close.
1995 2000
1996 2001 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1997 2002
1998 2003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
1999 2004 in Magic and ultraTB.
2000 2005
2001 2006 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2002 2007
2003 2008 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2004 2009 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2005 2010 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2006 2011 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2007 2012
2008 2013 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2009 2014 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2010 2015 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2011 2016 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2012 2017 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2013 2018 infrastructure in place.
2014 2019
2015 2020 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2016 2021
2017 2022 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2018 2023
2019 2024 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2020 2025 the pylab profile.
2021 2026
2022 2027 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2023 2028
2024 2029 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2025 2030
2026 2031 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2027 2032 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2028 2033 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2029 2034 itself.
2030 2035
2031 2036 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2032 2037 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2033 2038 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2034 2039 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2035 2040 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2036 2041 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2037 2042 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2038 2043 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2039 2044
2040 2045 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2041 2046 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2042 2047
2043 2048 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2044 2049
2045 2050 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2046 2051 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2047 2052 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2048 2053
2049 2054 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2050 2055
2051 2056 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2052 2057 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2053 2058
2054 2059 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>

2056 2061 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2057 2062
2058 2063 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2059 2064
2060 2065 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2061 2066
2062 2067 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2063 2068 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2064 2069 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2065 2070
2066 2071 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2067 2072
2068 2073 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2069 2074 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2070 2075 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2071 2076 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2072 2077 works.
2073 2078
2074 2079 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2075 2080 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2076 2081 practice.
2077 2082
2078 2083 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2079 2084
2080 2085 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2081 2086 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2082 2087 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2083 2088
2084 2089 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2085 2090
2086 2091 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2087 2092 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2088 2093 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2089 2094 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2090 2095
2091 2096 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2092 2097
2093 2098 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2094 2099 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2095 2100 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2096 2101 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2097 2102
2098 2103 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2099 2104
2100 2105 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2101 2106
2102 2107 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2103 2108 fail for any number.
2104 2109 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2105 2110 empty bookmarks.
2106 2111
2107 2112 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2108 2113
2109 2114 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2110 2115
2111 2116 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2112 2117
2113 2118 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2114 2119 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2115 2120
2116 2121 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2117 2122 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2118 2123
2119 2124 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2120 2125
2121 2126 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2122 2127 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2123 2128 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2124 2129 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2125 2130 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2126 2131
2127 2132 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2128 2133
2129 2134 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2130 2135 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2131 2136
2132 2137 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2133 2138
2134 2139 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2135 2140 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2136 2141 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2137 2142 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2138 2143
2139 2144 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2140 2145 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2141 2146 Schmolck.
2142 2147
2143 2148 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2144 2149
2145 2150 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2146 2151
2147 2152 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2148 2153 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2149 2154
2150 2155 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2151 2156 optimizations.
2152 2157
2153 2158 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2154 2159 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2155 2160
2156 2161 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2157 2162 --Started changelog.
2158 2163 --make clear do what it say it does
2159 2164 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2160 2165 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2161 2166 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2162 2167 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2163 2168 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2164 2169 can be done for other cases.
2165 2170 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2166 2171 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2167 2172 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2168 2173
2169 2174 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2170 2175 --added logfile rotation
2171 2176 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2172 2177
2173 2178 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2174 2179 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2175 2180 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2176 2181 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2177 2182 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2178 2183 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2179 2184 --added global logfile option
2180 2185 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2181 2186 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2182 2187
2183 2188 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2184 2189 --added a README
2185 2190 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2186 2191 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2187 2192 bug or feature.
2188 2193 --changed rc file for new behavior
2189 2194
2190 2195 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2191 2196
2192 2197 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2193 2198 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2194 2199 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2195 2200
2196 2201 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2197 2202 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2198 2203
2199 2204 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2200 2205
2201 2206 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2202 2207 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2203 2208 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2204 2209 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2205 2210 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2206 2211 and prepended with a #.
2207 2212
2208 2213 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2209 2214 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2210 2215
2211 2216 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2212 2217
2213 2218 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2214 2219 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2215 2220
2216 2221 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2217 2222
2218 2223 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2219 2224 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2220 2225
2221 2226 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2222 2227
2223 2228 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2224 2229 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2225 2230 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2226 2231
2227 2232 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2228 2233
2229 2234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2230 2235 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2231 2236
2232 2237 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2233 2238 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2234 2239 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2235 2240 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2236 2241 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2237 2242 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2238 2243 be implemented later).
2239 2244
2240 2245 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2241 2246 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2242 2247 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2243 2248 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2244 2249
2245 2250 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2246 2251 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2247 2252 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2248 2253
2249 2254 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2250 2255 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2251 2256
2252 2257 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2253 2258 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2254 2259 readline make it impossible to go further.
2255 2260
2256 2261 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2257 2262
2258 2263 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2259 2264 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2260 2265
2261 2266 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2262 2267
2263 2268 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2264 2269 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2265 2270 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2266 2271 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2267 2272
2268 2273 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2269 2274 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2270 2275 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2271 2276 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2272 2277
2273 2278 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2274 2279 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2275 2280 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2276 2281 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2277 2282 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2278 2283 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2279 2284 problem.
2280 2285
2281 2286 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2282 2287 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2283 2288
2284 2289 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2285 2290 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2286 2291 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2287 2292
2288 2293 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2289 2294
2290 2295 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2291 2296 continue prompts.
2292 2297
2293 2298 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2294 2299 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2295 2300 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2296 2301 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2297 2302 byte-compilation saves time.
2298 2303
2299 2304 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2300 2305
2301 2306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2302 2307 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2303 2308
2304 2309 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2305 2310 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2306 2311
2307 2312 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2308 2313 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2309 2314 common cases where it's a problem.
2310 2315
2311 2316 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2312 2317
2313 2318 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2314 2319 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2315 2320 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2316 2321 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2317 2322 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2318 2323 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2319 2324
2320 2325 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2321 2326
2322 2327 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2323 2328 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2324 2329
2325 2330 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2326 2331 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2327 2332 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2328 2333 structure as win_exec_ext.
2329 2334
2330 2335 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2331 2336 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2332 2337
2333 2338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2334 2339 delete aliases.
2335 2340
2336 2341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
2337 2342 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
2338 2343
2339 2344 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2340 2345
2341 2346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
2342 2347 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
2343 2348
2344 2349 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2345 2350
2346 2351 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
2347 2352 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
2348 2353
2349 2354 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
2350 2355 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
2351 2356
2352 2357 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
2353 2358 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
2354 2359 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
2355 2360 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
2356 2361 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
2357 2362 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
2358 2363
2359 2364 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
2360 2365 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
2361 2366 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
2362 2367
2363 2368 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
2364 2369 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
2365 2370 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
2366 2371
2367 2372 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
2368 2373 via an extra $. For example:
2369 2374
2370 2375 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
2371 2376
2372 2377 In [8]: !echo $PATH
2373 2378 a python variable
2374 2379
2375 2380 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
2376 2381 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
2377 2382
2378 2383 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
2379 2384 things prematurely.
2380 2385
2381 2386 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
2382 2387 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
2383 2388
2384 2389 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
2385 2390 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
2386 2391 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
2387 2392 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
2388 2393 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
2389 2394 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
2390 2395 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
2391 2396 programs in the user's path is obtained.
2392 2397
2393 2398 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
2394 2399 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
2395 2400 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
2396 2401 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
2397 2402 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
2398 2403 with the old system).
2399 2404
2400 2405 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2401 2406
2402 2407 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
2403 2408 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
2404 2409
2405 2410 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
2406 2411 call to eval.
2407 2412 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
2408 2413 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
2409 2414 in.
2410 2415
2411 2416 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2412 2417
2413 2418 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
2414 2419 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
2415 2420 confusion).
2416 2421
2417 2422 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
2418 2423 check for Windows users.
2419 2424
2420 2425 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
2421 2426 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
2422 2427 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
2423 2428 download it.
2424 2429
2425 2430 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2426 2431
2427 2432 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
2428 2433 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
2429 2434 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
2430 2435 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
2431 2436 of IDLE's out).
2432 2437
2433 2438 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
2434 2439 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
2435 2440 eventually.
2436 2441 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
2437 2442
2438 2443 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2439 2444
2440 2445 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
2441 2446 list of auto-defined aliases.
2442 2447
2443 2448 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2444 2449
2445 2450 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
2446 2451 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
2447 2452 things under Windows).
2448 2453
2449 2454 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2450 2455
2451 2456 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
2452 2457 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
2453 2458 reported by Thorsten.
2454 2459
2455 2460 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2461
2457 2462 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
2458 2463 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
2459 2464 for all examples and the manual as well.
2460 2465
2461 2466 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2462 2467
2463 2468 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
2464 2469 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
2465 2470 inherit from BasePrompt.
2466 2471
2467 2472 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
2468 2473 with python version (since paths are fixed).
2469 2474
2470 2475 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
2471 2476 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
2472 2477 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
2473 2478 defaults.
2474 2479 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
2475 2480 this fix manually!
2476 2481
2477 2482 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
2478 2483 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
2479 2484 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
2480 2485 distutils).
2481 2486
2482 2487 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
2483 2488 usage of new '\D' escape.
2484 2489
2485 2490 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
2486 2491 lacks os.getuid())
2487 2492 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
2488 2493 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
2489 2494 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
2490 2495 handling mechanism.
2491 2496 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
2492 2497 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
2493 2498 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
2494 2499 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
2495 2500 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
2496 2501 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
2497 2502 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
2498 2503
2499 2504 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2500 2505
2501 2506 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
2502 2507 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
2503 2508 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
2504 2509
2505 2510 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
2506 2511 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
2507 2512 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
2508 2513 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
2509 2514 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
2510 2515 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
2511 2516 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
2512 2517 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2513 2518
2514 2519 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
2515 2520 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
2516 2521 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
2517 2522 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
2518 2523 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
2519 2524 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
2520 2525 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
2521 2526 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
2522 2527
2523 2528 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
2524 2529 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
2525 2530 functions uniform.
2526 2531 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
2527 2532
2528 2533 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
2529 2534 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
2530 2535 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
2531 2536 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
2532 2537 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
2533 2538 use to parse their options.
2534 2539
2535 2540 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
2536 2541 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
2537 2542 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
2538 2543
2539 2544 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
2540 2545 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
2541 2546 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
2542 2547 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
2543 2548 via the prompt_specials.
2544 2549
2545 2550 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2546 2551
2547 2552 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
2548 2553 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
2549 2554 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
2550 2555 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
2551 2556 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
2552 2557 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2553 2558 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
2554 2559 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
2555 2560
2556 2561 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2557 2562
2558 2563 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
2559 2564 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
2560 2565 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
2561 2566
2562 2567 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2563 2568
2564 2569 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
2565 2570 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
2566 2571
2567 2572 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2568 2573
2569 2574 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
2570 2575 parens would get passed to the shell.
2571 2576
2572 2577 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2573 2578
2574 2579 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
2575 2580 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
2576 2581
2577 2582 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
2578 2583 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
2579 2584 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
2580 2585 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
2581 2586 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
2582 2587
2583 2588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
2584 2589 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
2585 2590 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
2586 2591 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
2587 2592
2588 2593 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
2589 2594
2590 2595 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2591 2596
2592 2597 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
2593 2598 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
2594 2599 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
2595 2600
2596 2601 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
2597 2602 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
2598 2603 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
2599 2604 official documentation.
2600 2605
2601 2606 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2602 2607
2603 2608 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
2604 2609 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
2605 2610 explicit filename.
2606 2611
2607 2612 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2608 2613
2609 2614 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
2610 2615 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
2611 2616 case.
2612 2617
2613 2618 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
2614 2619 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
2615 2620 updated the new_design doc a bit.
2616 2621
2617 2622 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
2618 2623
2619 2624 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2620 2625
2621 2626 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
2622 2627 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
2623 2628 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
2624 2629 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
2625 2630 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
2626 2631 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
2627 2632 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
2628 2633 any changes to python proper.
2629 2634
2630 2635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
2631 2636 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
2632 2637 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
2633 2638 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
2634 2639 Schmolck.
2635 2640
2636 2641 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2637 2642
2638 2643 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
2639 2644 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
2640 2645 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
2641 2646 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
2642 2647
2643 2648 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2644 2649
2645 2650 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
2646 2651 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
2647 2652 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
2648 2653 name).
2649 2654
2650 2655 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
2651 2656 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
2652 2657 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
2653 2658 Francois Pinard.
2654 2659
2655 2660 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2656 2661
2657 2662 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
2658 2663 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
2659 2664 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
2660 2665 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
2661 2666 not work.
2662 2667
2663 2668 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2664 2669
2665 2670 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
2666 2671 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
2667 2672 distinguishes stdout/err.
2668 2673
2669 2674 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
2670 2675 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
2671 2676 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
2672 2677 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
2673 2678 the standard library.
2674 2679
2675 2680 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
2676 2681 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
2677 2682
2678 2683 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
2679 2684 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
2680 2685
2681 2686 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2682 2687
2683 2688 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
2684 2689 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
2685 2690 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
2686 2691 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
2687 2692 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
2688 2693 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
2689 2694
2690 2695 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2691 2696
2692 2697 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
2693 2698 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
2694 2699 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
2695 2700 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
2696 2701
2697 2702 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2698 2703
2699 2704 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
2700 2705 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
2701 2706 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
2702 2707 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
2703 2708
2704 2709 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2705 2710
2706 2711 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
2707 2712 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
2708 2713 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
2709 2714 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
2710 2715 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
2711 2716 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
2712 2717 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
2713 2718 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
2714 2719
2715 2720 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2716 2721
2717 2722 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
2718 2723 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
2719 2724
2720 2725 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2721 2726
2722 2727 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
2723 2728 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
2724 2729 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
2725 2730 very short.
2726 2731
2727 2732 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2728 2733
2729 2734 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
2730 2735 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
2731 2736 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
2732 2737 this before making it permanent.
2733 2738
2734 2739 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
2735 2740 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
2736 2741 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
2737 2742 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
2738 2743
2739 2744 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2740 2745
2741 2746 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
2742 2747 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
2743 2748
2744 2749 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2745 2750
2746 2751 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
2747 2752 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
2748 2753 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
2749 2754 cases I've missed.
2750 2755
2751 2756 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2752 2757
2753 2758 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
2754 2759 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
2755 2760 system would be triggered for @p.
2756 2761
2757 2762 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
2758 2763 cleanups, code unmodified.
2759 2764
2760 2765 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
2761 2766 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
2762 2767 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
2763 2768 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
2764 2769 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
2765 2770 The actual changes affect many files.
2766 2771
2767 2772 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2768 2773
2769 2774 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
2770 2775 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
2771 2776 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
2772 2777
2773 2778 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2774 2779
2775 2780 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
2776 2781 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
2777 2782
2778 2783 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2779 2784
2780 2785 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
2781 2786 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
2782 2787 numpy list.
2783 2788
2784 2789 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2785 2790
2786 2791 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
2787 2792 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
2788 2793 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
2789 2794 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
2790 2795
2791 2796 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2792 2797
2793 2798 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
2794 2799 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
2795 2800 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
2796 2801 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
2797 2802
2798 2803 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
2799 2804 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
2800 2805
2801 2806 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2802 2807
2803 2808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2804 2809 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
2805 2810 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
2806 2811 Collins.
2807 2812
2808 2813 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
2809 2814
2810 2815 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2811 2816
2812 2817 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
2813 2818 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
2814 2819 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
2815 2820
2816 2821 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2817 2822
2818 2823 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
2819 2824 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
2820 2825 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
2821 2826 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
2822 2827
2823 2828 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
2824 2829 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
2825 2830 __getitem__ and __call__.
2826 2831
2827 2832 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
2828 2833
2829 2834 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2830 2835
2831 2836 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
2832 2837 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
2833 2838 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
2834 2839 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
2835 2840
2836 2841 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
2837 2842 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
2838 2843 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
2839 2844 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
2840 2845 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
2841 2846 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
2842 2847 necessary.
2843 2848
2844 2849 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
2845 2850 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
2846 2851 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
2847 2852
2848 2853 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
2849 2854 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
2850 2855 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
2851 2856 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
2852 2857
2853 2858 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
2854 2859 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
2855 2860 generators.
2856 2861
2857 2862 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
2858 2863 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
2859 2864 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
2860 2865 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
2861 2866 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
2862 2867 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
2863 2868 potentially dangerous eval() again.
2864 2869
2865 2870 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
2866 2871 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
2867 2872 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
2868 2873 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
2869 2874 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
2870 2875
2871 2876 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
2872 2877 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
2873 2878 edit under some circumstances.
2874 2879 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
2875 2880 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
2876 2881 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
2877 2882 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
2878 2883 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
2879 2884 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
2880 2885 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
2881 2886 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
2882 2887 need more testing.
2883 2888
2884 2889 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2885 2890
2886 2891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
2887 2892 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
2888 2893 and simpler code.
2889 2894
2890 2895 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2891 2896
2892 2897 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
2893 2898 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
2894 2899 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
2895 2900 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
2896 2901 even if they were contiguous.
2897 2902 (l1norm): Added this function.
2898 2903 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
2899 2904 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
2900 2905 and speed.
2901 2906
2902 2907 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2903 2908
2904 2909 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
2905 2910 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
2906 2911 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
2907 2912
2908 2913 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2909 2914
2910 2915 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
2911 2916 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
2912 2917 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
2913 2918
2914 2919 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
2915 2920 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
2916 2921 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
2917 2922
2918 2923 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2924
2920 2925 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
2921 2926 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
2922 2927 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
2923 2928 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
2924 2929 activity.
2925 2930
2926 2931 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2927 2932
2928 2933 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
2929 2934 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
2930 2935 Numeric.identity)
2931 2936
2932 2937 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2933 2938
2934 2939 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
2935 2940 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
2936 2941 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
2937 2942
2938 2943 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2944
2940 2945 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
2941 2946 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
2942 2947 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
2943 2948 ipython behaves like normal python does.
2944 2949
2945 2950 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
2946 2951 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
2947 2952 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
2948 2953 is implemented).
2949 2954
2950 2955 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2951 2956
2952 2957 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
2953 2958 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
2954 2959 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
2955 2960
2956 2961 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
2957 2962 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
2958 2963 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
2959 2964 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
2960 2965 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
2961 2966
2962 2967 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
2963 2968
2964 2969 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2965 2970
2966 2971 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
2967 2972 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
2968 2973 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
2969 2974
2970 2975 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2971 2976
2972 2977 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
2973 2978 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
2974 2979 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
2975 2980
2976 2981 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
2977 2982 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
2978 2983 crash report from Prabhu.
2979 2984
2980 2985 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2981 2986
2982 2987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
2983 2988 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
2984 2989 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
2985 2990 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
2986 2991 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
2987 2992 also be useful in other cases.
2988 2993
2989 2994 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
2990 2995 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
2991 2996 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
2992 2997
2993 2998 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
2994 2999
2995 3000 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2996 3001
2997 3002 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
2998 3003 installing for a new user under Windows.
2999 3004
3000 3005 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3001 3006
3002 3007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3003 3008 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3004 3009 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3005 3010 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3006 3011 there.
3007 3012
3008 3013 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3009 3014 info to crash reports.
3010 3015
3011 3016 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3012 3017 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3013 3018 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3014 3019 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3015 3020
3016 3021 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3017 3022
3018 3023 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3019 3024 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3020 3025 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3021 3026 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3022 3027
3023 3028 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3024 3029
3025 3030 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3026 3031 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3027 3032
3028 3033 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3029 3034
3030 3035 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3031 3036 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3032 3037
3033 3038 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3034 3039
3035 3040 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3036 3041
3037 3042 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3038 3043 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3039 3044 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3040 3045
3041 3046 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3042 3047 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3043 3048 with the new auto-indent option.
3044 3049
3045 3050 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3046 3051
3047 3052 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3048 3053 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3049 3054 this class from the main Shell class.
3050 3055
3051 3056 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3052 3057 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3053 3058 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3054 3059 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3055 3060 option).
3056 3061
3057 3062 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3058 3063 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3059 3064 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3060 3065 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3061 3066 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3062 3067
3063 3068 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3064 3069 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3065 3070 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3066 3071
3067 3072 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3068 3073 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3069 3074 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3070 3075 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3071 3076 tracebacks.
3072 3077
3073 3078 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3074 3079 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3075 3080 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
3076 3081
3077 3082 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3078 3083
3079 3084 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3080 3085 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3081 3086 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3082 3087 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3083 3088
3084 3089 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3085 3090
3086 3091 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3087 3092 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3088 3093 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3089 3094 for the bug report.
3090 3095
3091 3096 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3092 3097
3093 3098 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3094 3099 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3095 3100 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3096 3101 report.
3097 3102
3098 3103 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3099 3104
3100 3105 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3101 3106 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3102 3107 end).
3103 3108
3104 3109 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3105 3110 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3106 3111 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3107 3112
3108 3113 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3114
3110 3115 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3111 3116 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3112 3117 for the patch.
3113 3118
3114 3119 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3115 3120
3116 3121 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3117 3122 functions.

3123 3128 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3124 3129 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3125 3130 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3126 3131 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3127 3132 private fix.
3128 3133
3129 3134 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3130 3135 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3131 3136 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3132 3137 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3133 3138 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3134 3139 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3135 3140 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3136 3141 fixed for this setup.
3137 3142
3138 3143 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3139 3144 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3140 3145
3141 3146 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3142 3147
3143 3148 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3144 3149
3145 3150 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3146 3151 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3147 3152 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3148 3153 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3149 3154 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3150 3155 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3151 3156 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3152 3157 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3153 3158 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3154 3159
3155 3160 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3156 3161 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3157 3162 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
3158 3163
3159 3164 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3160 3165
3161 3166 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3162 3167
3163 3168 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3164 3169 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3165 3170 pickle-related issue in @run).
3166 3171
3167 3172 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3168 3173
3169 3174 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3170 3175 the autocall option at runtime.
3171 3176 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3172 3177 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3173 3178 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3174 3179 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3175 3180 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3176 3181 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3177 3182 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3178 3183 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3179 3184 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3180 3185 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3181 3186 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3182 3187 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3183 3188 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3184 3189 pickles to save something sensible.
3185 3190
3186 3191 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3187 3192
3188 3193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3189 3194 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3190 3195 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3191 3196
3192 3197 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3193 3198
3194 3199 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3195 3200 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3196 3201
3197 3202 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3198 3203
3199 3204 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3200 3205 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3201 3206 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3202 3207 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3203 3208
3204 3209 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3205 3210
3206 3211 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3207 3212 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3208 3213 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3209 3214 array is non-contiguous.
3210 3215
3211 3216 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3212 3217
3213 3218 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3214 3219 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3215 3220 executed).
3216 3221 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3217 3222 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3218 3223 output.
3219 3224 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3220 3225 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3221 3226 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3222 3227 changing.
3223 3228
3224 3229 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3225 3230
3226 3231 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3227 3232
3228 3233 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3229 3234 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3230 3235 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3231 3236 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3232 3237 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3233 3238 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3234 3239 like a normal command-line.
3235 3240
3236 3241 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3237 3242 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3238 3243 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3239 3244 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3240 3245
3241 3246 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3242 3247
3243 3248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3244 3249 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3245 3250 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3246 3251 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3247 3252
3248 3253 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3254
3250 3255 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3251 3256 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3252 3257 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3253 3258 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3254 3259 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3255 3260 think it's worth doing.
3256 3261
3257 3262 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
3258 3263
3259 3264 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3260 3265
3261 3266 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3262 3267 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3263 3268
3264 3269 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3265 3270 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3266 3271 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3267 3272 also work ok.
3268 3273
3269 3274 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
3270 3275
3271 3276 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3272 3277
3273 3278 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3274 3279
3275 3280 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3276 3281 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3277 3282 of gnuplot data files.
3278 3283
3279 3284 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3280 3285
3281 3286 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3282 3287 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3283 3288
3284 3289 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3285 3290
3286 3291 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3287 3292 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3288 3293 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3289 3294 for pointing this out.
3290 3295
3291 3296 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3292 3297
3293 3298 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3294 3299
3295 3300 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3296 3301 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3297 3302 Interactive.
3298 3303
3299 3304 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3300 3305 being imported from iplib.
3301 3306
3302 3307 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3303 3308 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3304 3309 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3305 3310 common name.
3306 3311
3307 3312 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3308 3313 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3309 3314
3310 3315 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3311 3316 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3312 3317
3313 3318 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3314 3319 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3315 3320 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3316 3321 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3317 3322 docstrings).
3318 3323
3319 3324 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3320 3325
3321 3326 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3322 3327 (inconsistent with options).
3323 3328
3324 3329 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3325 3330 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3326 3331 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3327 3332 eps output.
3328 3333
3329 3334 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3330 3335
3331 3336 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3332 3337 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3333 3338 Pinard.
3334 3339
3335 3340 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3336 3341
3337 3342 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
3338 3343 history file for new users.
3339 3344 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
3340 3345 user running in the .ipython dir.
3341 3346 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
3342 3347 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
3343 3348 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
3344 3349
3345 3350 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
3346 3351 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
3347 3352 consistently.
3348 3353
3349 3354 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
3350 3355 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
3351 3356 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
3352 3357 libraries I don't have access to.
3353 3358
3354 3359 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
3355 3360 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
3356 3361 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
3357 3362 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
3358 3363 report.
3359 3364
3360 3365 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3361 3366
3362 3367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
3363 3368 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
3364 3369 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
3365 3370 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
3366 3371
3367 3372 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3368 3373
3369 3374 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
3370 3375 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
3371 3376 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
3372 3377 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
3373 3378 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
3374 3379 instance has been created.
3375 3380
3376 3381 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
3377 3382 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
3378 3383 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
3379 3384 dict by hand.
3380 3385
3381 3386 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3382 3387
3383 3388 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
3384 3389 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
3385 3390 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
3386 3391 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
3387 3392 broken.
3388 3393
3389 3394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
3390 3395 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
3391 3396 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
3392 3397 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
3393 3398
3394 3399 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
3395 3400 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
3396 3401 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
3397 3402 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
3398 3403 is a valid one.
3399 3404
3400 3405 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
3401 3406 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
3402 3407 confirmation to have yes as the default.
3403 3408
3404 3409 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
3405 3410 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
3406 3411 simply leftover junk.
3407 3412
3408 3413 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3409 3414
3410 3415 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
3411 3416 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
3412 3417 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
3413 3418
3414 3419 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
3415 3420 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
3416 3421 exceptions.
3417 3422
3418 3423 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3419 3424
3420 3425 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
3421 3426 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
3422 3427 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
3423 3428 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
3424 3429 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
3425 3430
3426 3431 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
3427 3432 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
3428 3433
3429 3434 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
3430 3435 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
3431 3436 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
3432 3437 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
3433 3438 problem mentioned below.
3434 3439
3435 3440 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3436 3441
3437 3442 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
3438 3443 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
3439 3444
3440 3445 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
3441 3446 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
3442 3447 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
3443 3448 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
3444 3449 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
3445 3450
3446 3451 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
3447 3452 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
3448 3453 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
3449 3454 actual function names.
3450 3455
3451 3456 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
3452 3457 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
3453 3458 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
3454 3459 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
3455 3460 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
3456 3461 really be only function/method names.
3457 3462
3458 3463 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3464
3460 3465 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
3461 3466 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
3462 3467 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
3463 3468
3464 3469 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3465 3470
3466 3471 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
3467 3472 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
3468 3473 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
3469 3474
3470 3475 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
3471 3476 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3472 3477
3473 3478 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
3474 3479 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
3475 3480 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
3476 3481
3477 3482 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
3478 3483 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
3479 3484 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
3480 3485
3481 3486 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
3482 3487 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
3483 3488 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
3484 3489
3485 3490 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3486 3491
3487 3492 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
3488 3493 Gnuplot.File objects.
3489 3494
3490 3495 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3491 3496
3492 3497 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
3493 3498 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
3494 3499 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
3495 3500
3496 3501 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3497 3502
3498 3503 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
3499 3504 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
3500 3505
3501 3506 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
3502 3507 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
3503 3508
3504 3509 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
3505 3510 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
3506 3511
3507 3512 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3513
3509 3514 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
3510 3515 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
3511 3516 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
3512 3517 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
3513 3518
3514 3519 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3520
3516 3521 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
3517 3522 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
3518 3523 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
3519 3524
3520 3525 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3521 3526
3522 3527 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
3523 3528 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
3524 3529 workaround).
3525 3530
3526 3531 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3527 3532
3528 3533 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
3529 3534 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
3530 3535
3531 3536 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3537
3533 3538 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
3534 3539 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
3535 3540
3536 3541 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
3537 3542 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
3538 3543 .strip() is called on it.
3539 3544
3540 3545
3541 3546 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3542 3547
3543 3548 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
3544 3549 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
3545 3550 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
3546 3551
3547 3552 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
3548 3553 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
3549 3554
3550 3555 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
3551 3556 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
3552 3557 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
3553 3558
3554 3559 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3555 3560
3556 3561 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
3557 3562 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
3558 3563 __main__.
3559 3564
3560 3565 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
3561 3566 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
3562 3567
3563 3568 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
3564 3569 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
3565 3570 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
3566 3571 Mathematica behaves.
3567 3572
3568 3573 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3569 3574
3570 3575 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
3571 3576 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
3572 3577
3573 3578 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
3574 3579 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
3575 3580 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
3576 3581
3577 3582 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
3578 3583 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
3579 3584
3580 3585 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3586
3582 3587 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
3583 3588 underflow problems in Numeric.
3584 3589 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
3585 3590 for exact integer powers of 2.
3586 3591
3587 3592 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
3588 3593 properly.
3589 3594
3590 3595 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3591 3596
3592 3597 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
3593 3598 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
3594 3599
3595 3600 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3596 3601
3597 3602 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
3598 3603 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
3599 3604
3600 3605 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3601 3606
3602 3607 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
3603 3608 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
3604 3609 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
3605 3610 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
3606 3611 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
3607 3612 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
3608 3613 times).
3609 3614
3610 3615 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
3611 3616 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
3612 3617 been redirected by user this gets honored.
3613 3618
3614 3619 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3615 3620
3616 3621 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
3617 3622 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
3618 3623 embedded code.
3619 3624
3620 3625 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
3621 3626 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
3622 3627 PYTHONSTARTUP.
3623 3628
3624 3629 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
3625 3630 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
3626 3631 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
3627 3632 less special-casing to remember.
3628 3633
3629 3634 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3630 3635
3631 3636 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
3632 3637 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
3633 3638 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
3634 3639 arg is not a defined object.
3635 3640 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
3636 3641 a Mike Heeter idea.
3637 3642
3638 3643 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
3639 3644 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
3640 3645 interactive use.
3641 3646
3642 3647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
3643 3648 filenames.
3644 3649
3645 3650 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3646 3651
3647 3652 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
3648 3653 initialization via another struct.
3649 3654
3650 3655 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
3651 3656 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
3652 3657
3653 3658 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3654 3659
3655 3660 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
3656 3661 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
3657 3662 too big).
3658 3663
3659 3664 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3660 3665
3661 3666 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
3662 3667 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
3663 3668 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
3664 3669 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
3665 3670
3666 3671 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3667 3672
3668 3673 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
3669 3674 macros having broken.
3670 3675
3671 3676 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3672 3677
3673 3678 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
3674 3679 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
3675 3680 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
3676 3681 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
3677 3682 not to lists.
3678 3683
3679 3684 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3680 3685
3681 3686 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
3682 3687 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
3683 3688 classes needs some serious overhauling.
3684 3689
3685 3690 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
3686 3691 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
3687 3692
3688 3693 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
3689 3694 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
3690 3695 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
3691 3696
3692 3697 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
3693 3698 triple-quoted strings.
3694 3699
3695 3700 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
3696 3701 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
3697 3702 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
3698 3703 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
3699 3704 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
3700 3705 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
3701 3706
3702 3707 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3703 3708
3704 3709 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
3705 3710 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
3706 3711 ultraTB).
3707 3712
3708 3713 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3714
3710 3715 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
3711 3716 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
3712 3717 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
3713 3718 user's 'g' variables).
3714 3719
3715 3720 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
3716 3721 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
3717 3722 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
3718 3723 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
3719 3724 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
3720 3725 macros.
3721 3726
3722 3727 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3723 3728
3724 3729 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
3725 3730 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
3726 3731
3727 3732 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
3728 3733 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
3729 3734 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
3730 3735
3731 3736 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3732 3737
3733 3738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
3734 3739 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
3735 3740 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
3736 3741 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
3737 3742 aliases.
3738 3743
3739 3744 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3740 3745
3741 3746 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
3742 3747 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
3743 3748 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
3744 3749 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
3745 3750
3746 3751 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3747 3752
3748 3753 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
3749 3754 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
3750 3755 user-defined functions overrode them.
3751 3756
3752 3757 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3753 3758
3754 3759 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
3755 3760 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
3756 3761
3757 3762 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3763
3759 3764 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
3760 3765 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
3761 3766 IPython.
3762 3767
3763 3768 * Released 0.2.13
3764 3769
3765 3770 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
3766 3771 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
3767 3772 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
3768 3773 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
3769 3774
3770 3775 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3771 3776
3772 3777 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
3773 3778 magic properly formatted for screen.
3774 3779
3775 3780 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
3776 3781 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
3777 3782
3778 3783 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
3779 3784 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
3780 3785 etc.)
3781 3786
3782 3787 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3783 3788
3784 3789 * Released 0.2.12
3785 3790
3786 3791 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3787 3792
3788 3793 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
3789 3794 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
3790 3795 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
3791 3796 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
3792 3797 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
3793 3798 an alias to @run -i.
3794 3799
3795 3800 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
3796 3801 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
3797 3802
3798 3803 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
3799 3804
3800 3805 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
3801 3806 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
3802 3807 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
3803 3808
3804 3809 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
3805 3810 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
3806 3811 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
3807 3812 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
3808 3813 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
3809 3814 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
3810 3815 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
3811 3816
3812 3817 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3813 3818
3814 3819 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
3815 3820 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
3816 3821 printed).
3817 3822
3818 3823 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
3819 3824 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
3820 3825 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
3821 3826
3822 3827 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
3823 3828 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
3824 3829
3825 3830 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
3826 3831 handle magic commands in them.
3827 3832 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
3828 3833 ~/mylog' now works.
3829 3834
3830 3835 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
3831 3836 '/' would be completed as magic names.
3832 3837
3833 3838 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3834 3839
3835 3840 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
3836 3841 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
3837 3842
3838 3843 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
3839 3844 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
3840 3845 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
3841 3846 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
3842 3847 variables are in the context of an exception.
3843 3848 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
3844 3849 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
3845 3850
3846 3851 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
3847 3852 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
3848 3853
3849 3854 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3850 3855
3851 3856 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
3852 3857 magics can parse options easier.
3853 3858 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
3854 3859 suggested by Chris Hart.
3855 3860 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
3856 3861 directory actually is in history.
3857 3862
3858 3863 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
3859 3864 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
3860 3865 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
3861 3866
3862 3867 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
3863 3868 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
3864 3869 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
3865 3870 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
3866 3871
3867 3872 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3868 3873
3869 3874 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
3870 3875 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
3871 3876
3872 3877 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
3873 3878 text (was a bug).
3874 3879
3875 3880 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3876 3881
3877 3882 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
3878 3883 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
3879 3884 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
3880 3885
3881 3886 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3882 3887
3883 3888 * Released 0.2.10
3884 3889
3885 3890 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
3886 3891
3887 3892 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
3888 3893 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
3889 3894
3890 3895 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3891 3896
3892 3897 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
3893 3898 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
3894 3899
3895 3900 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3896 3901
3897 3902 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
3898 3903 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
3899 3904 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
3900 3905 __init__.py)
3901 3906
3902 3907 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3903 3908
3904 3909 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
3905 3910 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
3906 3911 test for being inside IPython.
3907 3912
3908 3913 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
3909 3914 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
3910 3915 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
3911 3916 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
3912 3917
3913 3918 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3914 3919
3915 3920 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
3916 3921 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
3917 3922 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
3918 3923
3919 3924 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
3920 3925 embedding example to standard user directory for
3921 3926 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
3922 3927
3923 3928 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
3924 3929 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
3925 3930 hidden global).
3926 3931
3927 3932 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
3928 3933 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
3929 3934 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
3930 3935 case.
3931 3936
3932 3937 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3933 3938
3934 3939 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
3935 3940 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
3936 3941 start.
3937 3942
3938 3943 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
3939 3944 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
3940 3945 Numeric or math.
3941 3946
3942 3947 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
3943 3948 provided profiles. Now we have:
3944 3949 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
3945 3950 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
3946 3951 -physics -> same as before
3947 3952
3948 3953 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
3949 3954 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
3950 3955 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
3951 3956 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
3952 3957 string adds).
3953 3958
3954 3959 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
3955 3960 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
3956 3961 line with the gnuplot code).
3957 3962
3958 3963 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3959 3964
3960 3965 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
3961 3966 all included files change.
3962 3967
3963 3968 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
3964 3969 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
3965 3970
3966 3971 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
3967 3972 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
3968 3973 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
3969 3974
3970 3975 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
3971 3976 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
3972 3977
3973 3978 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
3974 3979 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
3975 3980
3976 3981 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
3977 3982 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
3978 3983 now accessible.
3979 3984
3980 3985 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
3981 3986 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
3982 3987 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
3983 3988 removed.
3984 3989 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
3985 3990 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
3986 3991 don't crash.
3987 3992 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
3988 3993 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
3989 3994 remains available.
3990 3995
3991 3996 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3992 3997
3993 3998 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
3994 3999
3995 4000 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3996 4001
3997 4002 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
3998 4003 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
3999 4004 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4000 4005 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4001 4006
4002 4007 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4003 4008
4004 4009 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4005 4010 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4006 4011 sync with the output counter.
4007 4012
4008 4013 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4009 4014 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4010 4015
4011 4016 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4012 4017
4013 4018 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4014 4019 readline, fix it back after each call.
4015 4020
4016 4021 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4017 4022 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4018 4023 traceback references are properly deleted.
4019 4024
4020 4025 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4021 4026 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4022 4027
4023 4028 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4024 4029
4025 4030 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4026 4031 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4027 4032 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4028 4033 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4029 4034 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4030 4035 to catch SystemExit).
4031 4036
4032 4037 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4033 4038 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4034 4039 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4035 4040 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4036 4041 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4037 4042 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4038 4043
4039 4044 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4040 4045
4041 4046 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4042 4047 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4043 4048 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4044 4049
4045 4050 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4046 4051 configurable (it should have always been so).
4047 4052
4048 4053 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4049 4054
4050 4055 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4051 4056 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4052 4057 done in a more elegant way.
4053 4058
4054 4059 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4055 4060
4056 4061 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4057 4062 win9x also.
4058 4063
4059 4064 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4065
4061 4066 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4062 4067 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4063 4068
4064 4069 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4065 4070
4066 4071 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4067 4072
4068 4073 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4069 4074 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4070 4075
4071 4076 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4072 4077 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4073 4078
4074 4079 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4075 4080 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4076 4081
4077 4082 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4078 4083 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4079 4084
4080 4085 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4086
4082 4087 * Released 0.2.8
4083 4088
4084 4089 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4085 4090 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4086 4091 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4087 4092 on' so that the first tab completes.
4088 4093 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4089 4094 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4090 4095
4091 4096 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4092 4097 installation.
4093 4098
4094 4099 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4095 4100 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4096 4101
4097 4102 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4103
4099 4104 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4100 4105 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4101 4106 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4102 4107
4103 4108 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4104 4109 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4105 4110
4106 4111 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4107 4112 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4108 4113 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4109 4114 suggestion.
4110 4115
4111 4116 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4112 4117 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4113 4118 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4114 4119
4115 4120 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4116 4121 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4117 4122
4118 4123 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4119 4124
4120 4125 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4121 4126 which properly handles things for windows users.
4122 4127
4123 4128 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4124 4129
4125 4130 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4126 4131 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4127 4132 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4128 4133 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4129 4134 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4130 4135
4131 4136 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4132 4137
4133 4138 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4134 4139
4135 4140 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4136 4141 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4137 4142
4138 4143 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4139 4144
4140 4145 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4141 4146 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4142 4147 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4143 4148 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4144 4149 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4145 4150 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4146 4151
4147 4152 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4148 4153
4149 4154 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4150 4155 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4151 4156
4152 4157 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4153 4158 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4154 4159 cache at 20 values.
4155 4160
4156 4161 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4157 4162 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4158 4163 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4159 4164 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4160 4165
4161 4166 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4162 4167 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4163 4168 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4164 4169 'file show').
4165 4170
4166 4171 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4167 4172 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4168 4173
4169 4174 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4170 4175 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4171 4176 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4172 4177
4173 4178 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4174 4179 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4175 4180 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4176 4181 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4177 4182
4178 4183 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4179 4184 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4180 4185 the prompt strings.
4181 4186
4182 4187 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4183 4188
4184 4189 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4185 4190 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4186 4191
4187 4192 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4188 4193 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4189 4194 either globally or at each call.
4190 4195
4191 4196 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4192 4197 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4193 4198 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4194 4199 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4195 4200
4196 4201 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4202
4198 4203 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4199 4204 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4200 4205
4201 4206 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4202 4207
4203 4208 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4204 4209 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4205 4210 learning some lisp...
4206 4211
4207 4212 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4208 4213
4209 4214 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4210 4215 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4211 4216 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4212 4217 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4213 4218
4214 4219 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4215 4220 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4216 4221 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4217 4222
4218 4223 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4219 4224
4220 4225 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4221 4226 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4222 4227 control to emacs users.
4223 4228
4224 4229 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4225 4230 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4226 4231 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4227 4232 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4228 4233 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4229 4234 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4230 4235
4231 4236 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4232 4237
4233 4238 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4234 4239
4235 4240 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4236 4241 @logstate magic was created.
4237 4242
4238 4243 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4239 4244 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4240 4245
4241 4246 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4242 4247
4243 4248 * Released 0.2.6.
4244 4249
4245 4250 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4246 4251 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4247 4252
4248 4253 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4249 4254 SciPy.
4250 4255
4251 4256 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4252 4257 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4253 4258 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4254 4259 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4255 4260 the section on embedding and the example file.
4256 4261
4257 4262 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4258 4263 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4259 4264 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4260 4265
4261 4266 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4262 4267 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4263 4268 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4264 4269
4265 4270 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4266 4271 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4267 4272 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4268 4273 for this to work.
4269 4274
4270 4275 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4271 4276
4272 4277 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4273 4278 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4274 4279 well inside Emacs buffers.
4275 4280 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4276 4281 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4277 4282 same bug in iplib.
4278 4283
4279 4284 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4280 4285
4281 4286 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4282 4287 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4283 4288
4284 4289 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4285 4290 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4286 4291 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4287 4292
4288 4293 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4289 4294 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4290 4295 display is done.
4291 4296
4292 4297 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4293 4298 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4294 4299
4295 4300 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4296 4301 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4297 4302 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4298 4303 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4299 4304 like in Octave.
4300 4305
4301 4306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4302 4307 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4303 4308
4304 4309 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4305 4310
4306 4311 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4307 4312 whole file a little.
4308 4313
4309 4314 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4310 4315 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4311 4316 end-user distro.
4312 4317
4313 4318 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4314 4319 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4315 4320 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4316 4321
4317 4322 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4318 4323 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4319 4324
4320 4325 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4321 4326 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4322 4327 for @file.
4323 4328
4324 4329 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4325 4330 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4326 4331 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4327 4332 the code a bit easier.
4328 4333
4329 4334 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4330 4335 information to crash reports.
4331 4336
4332 4337 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4333 4338
4334 4339 * Released 0.2.5.
4335 4340
4336 4341 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4337 4342
4338 4343 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
4339 4344 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
4340 4345 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
4341 4346
4342 4347 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4343 4348
4344 4349 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
4345 4350 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
4346 4351 have thigs work as expected.
4347 4352
4348 4353 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
4349 4354 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
4350 4355 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
4351 4356 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
4352 4357 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
4353 4358
4354 4359 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
4355 4360 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
4356 4361
4357 4362 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4358 4363
4359 4364 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
4360 4365 user config files with os-native line-endings.
4361 4366
4362 4367 * README and manual updates.
4363 4368
4364 4369 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
4365 4370 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
4366 4371
4367 4372 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
4368 4373 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
4369 4374
4370 4375 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
4371 4376 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
4372 4377 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
4373 4378 extension-less files.
4374 4379
4375 4380 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
4376 4381 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
4377 4382 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
4378 4383
4379 4384 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
4380 4385 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
4381 4386
4382 4387 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
4383 4388 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
4384 4389 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
4385 4390 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
4386 4391 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
4387 4392 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
4388 4393 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
4389 4394 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
4390 4395 least make manually a shortcut.
4391 4396
4392 4397 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
4393 4398 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
4394 4399 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
4395 4400 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
4396 4401 runtime, with @colors.
4397 4402 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
4398 4403 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
4399 4404
4400 4405 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4401 4406
4402 4407 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
4403 4408 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
4404 4409 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
4405 4410 read the startup info.
4406 4411
4407 4412 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4408 4413
4409 4414 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
4410 4415 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
4411 4416 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
4412 4417 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
4413 4418 type the better off we are.
4414 4419 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
4415 4420 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
4416 4421 before.
4417 4422
4418 4423 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4419 4424
4420 4425 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
4421 4426 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
4422 4427 this later.
4423 4428
4424 4429 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4425 4430
4426 4431 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
4427 4432 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
4428 4433 (they can be triggered by imported code).
4429 4434
4430 4435 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4431 4436
4432 4437 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
4433 4438 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
4434 4439 spitting out only offset information as before.
4435 4440 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
4436 4441 programs with command line args inside IPython.
4437 4442
4438 4443 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4439 4444
4440 4445 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
4441 4446 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
4442 4447 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
4443 4448 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
4444 4449 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
4445 4450 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
4446 4451 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
4447 4452 macros.
4448 4453
4449 4454 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4450 4455
4451 4456 * Released 0.2.4.
4452 4457
4453 4458 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
4454 4459 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
4455 4460 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
4456 4461 re-execution.
4457 4462
4458 4463 * Updated manual with recent changes.
4459 4464
4460 4465 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
4461 4466 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
4462 4467 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
4463 4468 documented, of course :)
4464 4469 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
4465 4470 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
4466 4471 __call__ info for callable object instances.
4467 4472
4468 4473 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4469 4474
4470 4475 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
4471 4476 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
4472 4477 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
4473 4478
4474 4479 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4475 4480
4476 4481 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
4477 4482 so I wanted an updated release).
4478 4483
4479 4484 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4480 4485
4481 4486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
4482 4487 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
4483 4488 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
4484 4489 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
4485 4490 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
4486 4491
4487 4492 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4488 4493
4489 4494 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
4490 4495 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
4491 4496
4492 4497 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4493 4498
4494 4499 * Released 0.2.2.
4495 4500
4496 4501 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
4497 4502 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
4498 4503 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
4499 4504 versions.
4500 4505
4501 4506 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
4502 4507 (MayaVi author).
4503 4508
4504 4509 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4510
4506 4511 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
4507 4512 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
4508 4513 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
4509 4514 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
4510 4515 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
4511 4516
4512 4517 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
4513 4518 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
4514 4519
4515 4520 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4516 4521
4517 4522 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
4518 4523 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
4519 4524 nice, full-blown manual.
4520 4525
4521 4526 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
4522 4527 trivially simple for end-users.
4523 4528
4524 4529 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4525 4530
4526 4531 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
4527 4532 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
4528 4533
4529 4534 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
4530 4535 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
4531 4536
4532 4537 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4533 4538
4534 4539 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
4535 4540 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
4536 4541 people to later upgrade versions.
4537 4542
4538 4543 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
4539 4544 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
4540 4545 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
4541 4546 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
4542 4547 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
4543 4548 SystemExit).
4544 4549
4545 4550 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
4546 4551 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
4547 4552 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
4548 4553 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
4549 4554 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
4550 4555
4551 4556 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
4552 4557 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
4553 4558 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
4554 4559
4555 4560 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4556 4561
4557 4562 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
4558 4563 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
4559 4564
4560 4565 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
4561 4566 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
4562 4567 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
4563 4568 html docs out of it will be found).
4564 4569
4565 4570 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
4566 4571
4567 4572 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
4568 4573 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
4569 4574
4570 4575 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
4571 4576
4572 4577 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
4573 4578 visiting any directory in _dh.
4574 4579
4575 4580 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
4576 4581 it out with numbers.
4577 4582
4578 4583 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4579 4584
4580 4585 * Released 0.1.22
4581 4586
4582 4587 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
4583 4588 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
4584 4589
4585 4590 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
4586 4591 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
4587 4592 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
4588 4593 screen the necessary mail command.
4589 4594
4590 4595 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
4591 4596 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
4592 4597 guess we should at least give them something readable.
4593 4598
4594 4599 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4595 4600
4596 4601 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
4597 4602 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
4598 4603 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
4599 4604 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
4600 4605 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
4601 4606 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
4602 4607 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
4603 4608 its name).
4604 4609
4605 4610 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
4606 4611 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
4607 4612 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
4608 4613 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
4609 4614
4610 4615 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4611 4616
4612 4617 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
4613 4618 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
4614 4619
4615 4620 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
4616 4621 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
4617 4622
4618 4623 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
4619 4624 completion of @-starting lines.
4620 4625
4621 4626 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
4622 4627 info that other files can read from.
4623 4628
4624 4629 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
4625 4630 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
4626 4631 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
4627 4632 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
4628 4633 restores produce less errors.
4629 4634
4630 4635 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
4631 4636 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
4632 4637 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
4633 4638 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
4634 4639 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
4635 4640
4636 4641 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
4637 4642 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
4638 4643 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
4639 4644 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
4640 4645 with this, finally...
4641 4646
4642 4647 * Small documentation updates.
4643 4648
4644 4649 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
4645 4650 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
4646 4651 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
4647 4652
4648 4653 * File renaming:
4649 4654 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
4650 4655 ipplib --> iplib
4651 4656 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
4652 4657
4653 4658 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
4654 4659 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
4655 4660 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
4656 4661
4657 4662 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
4658 4663 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
4659 4664 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
4660 4665
4661 4666 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4667
4663 4668 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
4664 4669 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
4665 4670 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
4666 4671 the ad-hoc mess we had).
4667 4672
4668 4673 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
4669 4674 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
4670 4675 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
4671 4676
4672 4677 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
4673 4678 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
4674 4679 road.
4675 4680
4676 4681 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
4677 4682 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
4678 4683 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
4679 4684 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
4680 4685
4681 4686 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4682 4687
4683 4688 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
4684 4689 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
4685 4690 file accordingly.
4686 4691
4687 4692 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
4688 4693 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
4689 4694 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
4690 4695 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
4691 4696 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
4692 4697 separators and proper padding and justification.
4693 4698
4694 4699 * Released 0.1.20
4695 4700
4696 4701 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
4697 4702 copy operation was missing).
4698 4703
4699 4704 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
4700 4705 its output is always quite long.
4701 4706
4702 4707 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
4703 4708 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
4704 4709 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
4705 4710 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
4706 4711
4707 4712 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
4708 4713 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
4709 4714 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
4710 4715 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
4711 4716
4712 4717 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4713 4718
4714 4719 * Released 0.1.19
4715 4720
4716 4721 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
4717 4722 easier to copy/paste code this way.
4718 4723
4719 4724 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
4720 4725 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
4721 4726 comment on 'macros').
4722 4727
4723 4728 * Small fixes and doc updates.
4724 4729
4725 4730 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
4726 4731 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
4727 4732 statements and takes parameters.
4728 4733
4729 4734 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4730 4735
4731 4736 * Version 0.1.18 released.
4732 4737
4733 4738 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
4734 4739
4735 4740 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
4736 4741 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
4737 4742
4738 4743 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
4739 4744 ipythonrc-* samples.
4740 4745
4741 4746 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
4742 4747 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
4743 4748
4744 4749 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
4745 4750 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
4746 4751
4747 4752 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4748 4753
4749 4754 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
4750 4755 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
4751 4756 convention.
4752 4757
4753 4758 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
4754 4759 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
4755 4760
4756 4761 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
4757 4762
4758 4763 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
4759 4764 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
4760 4765
4761 4766 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
4762 4767 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
4763 4768 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
4764 4769 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
4765 4770 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
4766 4771 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
4767 4772 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
4768 4773 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
4769 4774 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
4770 4775 works.
4771 4776
4772 4777 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4778
4774 4779 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
4775 4780 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
4776 4781 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
4777 4782 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
4778 4783 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
4779 4784 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
4780 4785 all the editors, less does that.
4781 4786
4782 4787 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
4783 4788
4784 4789 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
4785 4790 crash IPython.
4786 4791
4787 4792 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4788 4793
4789 4794 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
4790 4795
4791 4796 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
4792 4797 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
4793 4798 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
4794 4799 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
4795 4800 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
4796 4801 work in _ofind.
4797 4802
4798 4803 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
4799 4804 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
4800 4805 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
4801 4806 (famous last words).
4802 4807
4803 4808 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
4804 4809 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
4805 4810 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
4806 4811 windows).
4807 4812
4808 4813 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
4809 4814 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
4810 4815
4811 4816 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
4812 4817 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
4813 4818 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
4814 4819 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
4815 4820
4816 4821 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
4817 4822 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
4818 4823 licences and announce it.
4819 4824
4820 4825 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
4821 4826 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
4822 4827 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
4823 4828 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
4824 4829
4825 4830 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4826 4831
4827 4832 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
4828 4833 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
4829 4834 lists.
4830 4835
4831 4836 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
4832 4837 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
4833 4838 are ok.
4834 4839
4835 4840 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
4836 4841 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
4837 4842
4838 4843 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
4839 4844 this to Nathan.
4840 4845
4841 4846 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
4842 4847
4843 4848 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
4844 4849 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
4845 4850 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
4846 4851
4847 4852 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
4848 4853 accepted). Cleaner.
4849 4854
4850 4855 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
4851 4856 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
4852 4857 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
4853 4858 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
4854 4859 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
4855 4860
4856 4861 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
4857 4862
4858 4863 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
4859 4864 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
4860 4865 history after a log replay.
4861 4866
4862 4867 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
4863 4868 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
4864 4869 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
4865 4870 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
4866 4871 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
4867 4872 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
4868 4873
4869 4874 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
4870 4875 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
4871 4876 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
4872 4877 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
4873 4878 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
4874 4879
4875 4880 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
4876 4881
4877 4882 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
4878 4883 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
4879 4884 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
4880 4885 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
4881 4886 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
4882 4887 one: cache_size.
4883 4888
4884 4889 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
4885 4890 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
4886 4891 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
4887 4892 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
4888 4893
4889 4894 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
4890 4895 @ or not).
4891 4896
4892 4897 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
4893 4898 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
4894 4899 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
4895 4900 about licensing).
4896 4901
4897 4902 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4898 4903
4899 4904 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
4900 4905 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
4901 4906
4902 4907 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
4903 4908 screen size for page() operations.
4904 4909
4905 4910 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
4906 4911 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
4907 4912 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
4908 4913 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
4909 4914
4910 4915 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
4911 4916 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
4912 4917 option name tables are clearer.
4913 4918
4914 4919 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
4915 4920 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
4916 4921 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
4917 4922 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
4918 4923 was also changed a little to align better.
4919 4924
4920 4925 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
4921 4926 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
4922 4927
4923 4928 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
4924 4929 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
4925 4930 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
4926 4931
4927 4932 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
4928 4933 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
4929 4934 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
4930 4935 he needs it.
4931 4936
4932 4937 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
4933 4938
4934 4939 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
4935 4940 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
4936 4941 warning on it.
4937 4942
4938 4943 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
4939 4944 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
4940 4945 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
4941 4946 was too long).
4942 4947
4943 4948 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
4944 4949 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
4945 4950 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
4946 4951
4947 4952 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
4948 4953 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
4949 4954 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
4950 4955 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
4951 4956 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
4952 4957 function for the same task.
4953 4958
4954 4959 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4955 4960
4956 4961 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
4957 4962
4958 4963 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
4959 4964 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
4960 4965 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
4961 4966
4962 4967 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
4963 4968 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
4964 4969 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
4965 4970
4966 4971 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
4967 4972 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
4968 4973 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
4969 4974
4970 4975 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4971 4976
4972 4977 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
4973 4978
4974 4979 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
4975 4980 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
4976 4981 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
4977 4982
4978 4983 * Made prompt separators configurable.
4979 4984
4980 4985 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4986
4982 4987 * Small bugfixes in many places.
4983 4988
4984 4989 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
4985 4990 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
4986 4991 maintain.
4987 4992
4988 4993 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
4989 4994 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
4990 4995 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
4991 4996 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
4992 4997 compiled and startup is much faster.
4993 4998
4994 4999 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
4995 5000 while without messing too much more with the code.
4996 5001
4997 5002 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4998 5003
4999 5004 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5000 5005
5001 5006 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5002 5007 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5003 5008 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5004 5009
5005 5010 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5006 5011 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5007 5012
5008 5013 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5009 5014 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5010 5015 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5011 5016 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5012 5017 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5013 5018 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5014 5019
5015 5020 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5016 5021 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5017 5022
5018 5023 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5019 5024 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5020 5025
5021 5026 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5022 5027 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5023 5028 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5024 5029 excessive.
5025 5030
5026 5031 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5027 5032 types (only first word was displayed).
5028 5033
5029 5034 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5030 5035
5031 5036 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5032 5037
5033 5038 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5034 5039 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5035 5040 travel along many directories.
5036 5041
5037 5042 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5038 5043 arguments with default values.
5039 5044
5040 5045 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5041 5046
5042 5047 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5043 5048 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5044 5049
5045 5050 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5046 5051
5047 5052 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5048 5053 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5049 5054 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5050 5055
5051 5056 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5052 5057
5053 5058 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5054 5059 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5055 5060 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5056 5061 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5057 5062 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5058 5063 purposes.
5059 5064
5060 5065 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5061 5066 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5062 5067 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5063 5068 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5064 5069 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5065 5070 one can simply say
5066 5071 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5067 5072 or even
5068 5073 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5069 5074
5070 5075 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5071 5076 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5072 5077 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5073 5078
5074 5079 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5075 5080 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5076 5081 they were defined in
5077 5082
5078 5083 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5079 5084
5080 5085 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5081 5086 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5082 5087 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5083 5088 these to show the same information.
5084 5089
5085 5090 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5086 5091
5087 5092 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5088 5093 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5089 5094 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5090 5095 backtracked on the whole class!)
5091 5096
5092 5097 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5093 5098 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5094 5099 everything works as before).
5095 5100
5096 5101 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5097 5102 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5098 5103 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5099 5104 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5100 5105
5101 5106 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5107
5103 5108 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5104 5109
5105 5110 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5106 5111 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5107 5112
5108 5113 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5109 5114 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5110 5115 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5111 5116 this later.
5112 5117
5113 5118 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5114 5119
5115 5120 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5116 5121 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5117 5122 line option.
5118 5123
5119 5124 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5120 5125 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5121 5126 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5122 5127 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5123 5128 didn't return a result).
5124 5129
5125 5130 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5126 5131
5127 5132 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5128 5133
5129 5134 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5130 5135 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5131 5136 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5132 5137 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5133 5138
5134 5139 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5135 5140
5136 5141 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5137 5142
5138 5143 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5139 5144 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5140 5145
5141 5146 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5142 5147 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5143 5148 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5144 5149 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5145 5150 in with the next entry:
5146 5151
5147 5152 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5148 5153 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5149 5154 handling.
5150 5155
5151 5156 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5152 5157 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5153 5158 namespace protection and documentation.
5154 5159
5155 5160 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5156 5161
5157 5162 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5158 5163 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5159 5164
5160 5165 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5161 5166
5162 5167 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5163 5168
5164 5169 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5165 5170
5166 5171 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5167 5172 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5168 5173 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5169 5174 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5170 5175 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5171 5176
5172 5177 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5173 5178 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5174 5179 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5175 5180
5176 5181 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5177 5182
5178 5183 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5179 5184 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5180 5185
5181 5186 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5182 5187
5183 5188 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5184 5189
5185 5190 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5186 5191 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5187 5192 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5188 5193 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5189 5194 ScientificPython.
5190 5195
5191 5196 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5192 5197
5193 5198 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5194 5199 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5195 5200 when called with no args.
5196 5201
5197 5202 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5198 5203 closely.
5199 5204
5200 5205 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5201 5206 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5202 5207 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5203 5208 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5204 5209 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5205 5210
5206 5211 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5207 5212
5208 5213 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5209 5214 customizations there and access them via import.
5210 5215
5211 5216 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5212 5217
5213 5218 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5214 5219
5215 5220 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5216 5221 Nathan and Janko.
5217 5222
5218 5223 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5219 5224
5220 5225 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5221 5226 too long.
5222 5227
5223 5228 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5224 5229
5225 5230 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5226 5231 ?sin and sin?
5227 5232 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5228 5233 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5229 5234 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5230 5235 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5231 5236
5232 5237 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5233 5238
5234 5239 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5235 5240
5236 5241 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5237 5242 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5238 5243
5239 5244 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5240 5245 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5241 5246 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5242 5247 me).
5243 5248
5244 5249 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5245 5250 protected (reasonably).
5246 5251
5247 5252 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5248 5253 note through it (it was too long).
5249 5254
5250 5255 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5251 5256 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5252 5257 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5253 5258 parameters.
5254 5259
5255 5260
5256 5261 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5257 5262
5258 5263 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5259 5264 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5260 5265 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
5261 5266
5262 5267 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5263 5268 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5264 5269 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
5265 5270
5266 5271 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5267 5272
5268 5273 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5269 5274
5270 5275 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5271 5276
5272 5277 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5273 5278 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwire in the
5274 5279 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5275 5280 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5276 5281 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5277 5282 break.
5278 5283
5279 5284 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5280 5285 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5281 5286 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5282 5287 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5283 5288 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5284 5289 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5285 5290
5286 5291 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5287 5292 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5288 5293 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5289 5294 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5290 5295 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5291 5296 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5292 5297 *everythin* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5293 5298 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5294 5299 trick.
5295 5300
5296 5301 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5297 5302 session restoring.
5298 5303
5299 5304 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5300 5305 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5301 5306 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5302 5307 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5303 5308 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5304 5309
5305 5310 * Started ChangeLog.
