3 3 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
4 4 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
5 5
6 6 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
7 7
8 8 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
9 9 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
10 10
11 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
12 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).

11 17 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
12 18
13 19 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
14 20 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
15 21 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
16 22 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
17 23
18 24 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
19 25 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.

21 27 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
22 28
23 29 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
24 30 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
25 31 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
26 32 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>

30 36 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
31 37
32 38 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
33 39 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
34 40
35 41 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
36 42
37 43 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.

42 48 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
43 49
44 50 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
45 51
46 52 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
47 53
48 54 * Update version number
49 55
50 56 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
51 57
52 58 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
53 59
54 60 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
55 61 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
56 62 bug discovered by Ville).
57 63
58 64 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
59 65
60 66 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
61 67 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
62 68
63 69 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
64 70
65 71
66 72 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
67 73
68 74 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
69 75 Closes #149.
70 76
71 77 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
72 78 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
73 79 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
74 80
75 81 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
76 82
77 83 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
78 84 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
79 85 allows wildcards.
80 86
81 87 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
82 88 as opposed to returning nothing.
83 89
84 90 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
85 91 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
86 92
87 93 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
88 94
89 95 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
90 96 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
91 97
92 98 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
93 99
94 100 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
95 101 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
96 102
97 103 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
98 104
99 105 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
100 106 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
101 107 IPython instance.
102 108
103 109 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
104 110
105 111 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
106 112 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
107 113 'Iptl' template notation,
108 114
109 115 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
110 116 safer & faster 'import' completer.
111 117
112 118 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
113 119 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
114 120
115 121 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
116 122 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
117 123 defmacro() etc.)
118 124
119 125 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
120 126
121 127 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
122 128
123 129 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
124 130
125 131 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
126 132
127 133 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
128 134 and later on win32.
129 135
130 136 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
131 137
132 138 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
133 139
134 140 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
135 141
136 142 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
137 143 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
138 144
139 145 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
140 146
141 147 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
142 148
143 149 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
144 150
145 151 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
146 152
147 153 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
148 154
149 155 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
150 156 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
151 157 every %run call.
152 158
153 159 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
154 160 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
155 161 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
156 162
157 163 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
158 164
159 165 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
160 166 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
161 167 Stefan for the fix.
162 168
163 169 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
164 170 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
165 171 him.
166 172
167 173 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
168 174 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
169 175 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
170 176 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
171 177
172 178 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
173 179 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
174 180 each runcode access.
175 181
176 182 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
177 183 message.
178 184
179 185 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
180 186
181 187 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
182 188 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
183 189 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
184 190
185 191 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
186 192 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
187 193 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
188 194 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
189 195 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
190 196 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
191 197 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
192 198 anything up until we know if it actually works.
193 199
194 200 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
195 201 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
196 202 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
197 203 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
198 204 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
199 205
200 206 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
201 207
202 208 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
203 209 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
204 210 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
205 211
206 212 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
207 213
208 214 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
209 215 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
210 216 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
211 217
212 218 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
213 219
214 220 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
215 221 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
216 222 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
217 223 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
218 224 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
219 225
220 226 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
221 227
222 228 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
223 229 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
224 230
225 231 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
226 232 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
227 233 details in comments left in the code.
228 234
229 235 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
230 236 similar to what we had for Numeric.
231 237
232 238 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
233 239 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
234 240 than readline. Closes #109.
235 241
236 242 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
237 243 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
238 244
239 245 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
240 246
241 247 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
242 248 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
243 249 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
244 250 ongoing Unicode support work.
245 251
246 252 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
247 253 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
248 254 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
249 255 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
250 256
251 257 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
252 258
253 259 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
254 260 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
255 261
256 262 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
257 263
258 264 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
259 265 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
260 266 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
261 267
262 268 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
263 269
264 270 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
265 271 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
266 272 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
267 273 long definition lines for functions.
268 274
269 275 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
270 276
271 277 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
272 278 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
273 279 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
274 280 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
275 281
276 282 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
277 283
278 284 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
279 285
280 286 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
281 287
282 288 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
283 289 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
284 290 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
285 291
286 292 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
287 293 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
288 294
289 295 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
290 296 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
291 297
292 298 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
293 299
294 300 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
295 301 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
296 302 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
297 303
298 304 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
299 305
300 306 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
301 307 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
302 308
303 309 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
304 310 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
305 311 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
306 312 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
307 313 sometimes return "" as last element.
308 314
309 315 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
310 316
311 317 * IPython/completer.py
312 318 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
313 319 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
314 320 would be completed too early.
315 321
316 322 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
317 323 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
318 324 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
319 325 backwards compatibility.
320 326
321 327 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
322 328 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
323 329 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
324 330 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
325 331 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
326 332 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
327 333 also works when debugging.
328 334
329 335 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
330 336 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
331 337
332 338 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
333 339 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
334 340 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
335 341
336 342 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
337 343 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
338 344 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
339 345
340 346 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
341 347 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
342 348
343 349 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
344 350
345 351 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
346 352 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
347 353 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
348 354
349 355 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
350 356
351 357 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
352 358 to be installed alongside igrid.
353 359 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
354 360 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
355 361 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
356 362
357 363 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
358 364
359 365 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
360 366 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
361 367 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
362 368
363 369 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
364 370
365 371 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
366 372 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
367 373
368 374 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
369 375 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
370 376
371 377 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
372 378
373 379 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
374 380 as the default browser.
375 381 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
376 382 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
377 383 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
378 384 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
379 385
380 386 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
381 387
382 388 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
383 389 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
384 390 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
385 391
386 392 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
387 393
388 394 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
389 395 Close help window if exiting igrid.
390 396
391 397 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
392 398
393 399 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
394 400 before calling functions from readline.

396 402 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
397 403
398 404 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
399 405 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
400 406 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
401 407 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
402 408 falls back to idump.
403 409
404 410 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
405 411
406 412 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
407 413 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
408 414 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
409 415 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
410 416
411 417 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
412 418
413 419 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
414 420 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
415 421 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
416 422 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
417 423 %magic with explicit % prefix.
418 424
419 425 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
420 426
421 427 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
422 428 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
423 429
424 430 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
425 431
426 432 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
427 433 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
428 434 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
429 435 one wants those instead.
430 436
431 437 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
432 438 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
433 439 instead.
434 440
435 441 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
436 442
437 443 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
438 444 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
439 445 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
440 446 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
441 447
442 448 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
443 449
444 450 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
445 451 stop marks.
446 452 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
447 453 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
448 454 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
449 455
450 456 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
451 457
452 458 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
453 459 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
454 460 sumbmitted to upstream.
455 461
456 462 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
457 463
458 464 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
459 465 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
460 466 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
461 467 running into an empty levels list later.
462 468
463 469 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
464 470
465 471 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
466 472 for the noitem object.
467 473
468 474 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
469 475
470 476 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
471 477 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
472 478 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
473 479 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
474 480
475 481 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
476 482
477 483 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
478 484 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
479 485 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
480 486 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
481 487 filenames.
482 488
483 489 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
484 490 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
485 491 out-of-process ipython code.
486 492
487 493 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
488 494 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
489 495 doctesting.
490 496
491 497 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
492 498
493 499 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
494 500
495 501 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
496 502 not being correctly recognized.
497 503
498 504 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
499 505
500 506 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
501 507 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
502 508 only item.
503 509
504 510 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
505 511 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
506 512 infinite recursion for one line strings).
507 513
508 514 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
509 515
510 516 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
511 517 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
512 518 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
513 519
514 520 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
515 521
516 522 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
517 523 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
518 524 "%env VISUAL=jed".
519 525
520 526 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
521 527
522 528 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
523 529 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
524 530 but I'm not exactly sure why).
525 531
526 532 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
527 533 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
528 534
529 535 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
530 536
531 537 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
532 538 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
533 539
534 540 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
535 541 the time during IPython startup is spent.
536 542
537 543 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
538 544
539 545 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
540 546
541 547 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
542 548
543 549 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
544 550
545 551 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
546 552
547 553 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
548 554 to work properly on posix too
549 555
550 556 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
551 557
552 558 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
553 559
554 560 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
555 561 prefix + "/scripts".
556 562
557 563 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
558 564
559 565 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
560 566
561 567 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
562 568 if they already exist
563 569
564 570 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
565 571
566 572 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
567 573
568 574 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
569 575
570 576 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
571 577
572 578 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
573 579 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
574 580 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
575 581
576 582 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
577 583
578 584 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
579 585 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
580 586 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
581 587
582 588 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
583 589 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
584 590 in ipy_user_conf.py
585 591
586 592
587 593 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
588 594 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
589 595 as IPython script.
590 596
591 597 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
592 598
593 599 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
594 600
595 601 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
596 602 is called before any exception has occurred.
597 603
598 604 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
599 605
600 606 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
601 607 to translate /'s to \'s again.
602 608
603 609 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
604 610 backslash.
605 611
606 612 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
607 613
608 614 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
609 615
610 616 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
611 617 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
612 618 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
613 619
614 620 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
615 621 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
616 622
617 623 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
618 624 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
619 625
620 626 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
621 627
622 628 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
623 629
624 630 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
625 631 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
626 632
627 633 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
628 634 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
629 635 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
630 636 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
631 637 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
632 638 mapped to "%" now.
633 639 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
634 640
635 641 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
636 642
637 643 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
638 644 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
639 645 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
640 646 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
641 647
642 648 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
643 649
644 650 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
645 651 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
646 652 for shell escapes.
647 653
648 654 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
649 655
650 656 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
651 657 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
652 658 vcs_completer.
653 659
654 660 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
655 661
656 662 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
657 663 directly instead!
658 664
659 665 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
660 666
661 667 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
662 668 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
663 669
664 670 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
665 671 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
666 672 explicit.
667 673
668 674 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
669 675 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
670 676
671 677 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
672 678
673 679 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
674 680
675 681 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
676 682 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
677 683 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
678 684 implementation for Text is useless.
679 685
680 686 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
681 687
682 688 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
683 689
684 690 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
685 691
686 692 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
687 693 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
688 694 "profile"
689 695
690 696 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
691 697
692 698 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
693 699 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
694 700
695 701 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
696 702 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
697 703
698 704
699 705 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
700 706 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
701 707 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
702 708
703 709 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
704 710
705 711 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
706 712 with one from UserConfig.
707 713
708 714 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
709 715 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
710 716
711 717 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
712 718 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
713 719 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
714 720
715 721 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
716 722
717 723 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
718 724
719 725 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
720 726
721 727 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
722 728
723 729 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
724 730
725 731 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
726 732
727 733 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
728 734
729 735 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
730 736
731 737 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
732 738 by eval of expr with dots.
733 739
734 740 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
735 741
736 742 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
737 743 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
738 744 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
739 745 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
740 746 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
741 747 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
742 748
743 749 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
744 750
745 751 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
746 752 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
747 753 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
748 754
749 755 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
750 756 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
751 757 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
752 758 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
753 759 funtionality in ipconfig.
754 760
755 761 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
756 762 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
757 763 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
758 764 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
759 765
760 766 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
761 767
762 768 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
763 769 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
764 770 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
765 771 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
766 772 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
767 773 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
768 774 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
769 775 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
770 776 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
771 777 descriptors.
772 778
773 779 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
774 780 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
775 781
776 782 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
777 783 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
778 784
779 785 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
780 786
781 787 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
782 788
783 789 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
784 790
785 791 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
786 792 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
787 793 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
788 794
789 795 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
790 796 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
791 797 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
792 798
793 799 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
794 800 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
795 801 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
796 802 ipy_stock_completers.
797 803

800 806 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
801 807
802 808 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
803 809 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
804 810 when filtering possible completions.
805 811
806 812 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
807 813
808 814 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
809 815 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
810 816 function
811 817
812 818
813 819 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
814 820
815 821 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
816 822 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
817 823 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
818 824 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
819 825 SVN completer.
820 826
821 827 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
822 828 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
823 829 name is %led.
824 830
825 831 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
826 832
827 833 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
828 834 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
829 835 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
830 836
831 837 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
832 838 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
833 839 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
834 840 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
835 841 hook name is 'complete_command'.
836 842
837 843 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
838 844
839 845 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
840 846 Numeric leftovers.
841 847
842 848 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
843 849 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
844 850
845 851 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
846 852 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
847 853
848 854 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
849 855 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
850 856
851 857 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
852 858 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
853 859 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
854 860
855 861 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
856 862
857 863 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
858 864 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
859 865 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
860 866
861 867 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
862 868 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
863 869
864 870 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
865 871
866 872 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
867 873 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
868 874 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
869 875
870 876 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
871 877
872 878 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
873 879 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
874 880 internal crash handler.
875 881
876 882 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
877 883 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
878 884 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
879 885 at the request of SAGE.
880 886
881 887 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
882 888
883 889 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
884 890 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
885 891
886 892 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
887 893 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
888 894 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
889 895 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
890 896
891 897 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
892 898 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
893 899 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
894 900
895 901 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
896 902
897 903 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
898 904 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
899 905 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
900 906
901 907 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
902 908 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
903 909
904 910 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
905 911
906 912 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
907 913 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
908 914 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
909 915 Stefan.
910 916
911 917 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
912 918
913 919 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
914 920 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
915 921 sys.stdout.close().
916 922
917 923 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
918 924
919 925 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
920 926 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
921 927 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
922 928 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
923 929
924 930 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
925 931 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
926 932 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
927 933
928 934 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
929 935 2.5.
930 936
931 937 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
932 938 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
933 939 interactively.
934 940
935 941 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
936 942
937 943 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
938 944 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
939 945
940 946 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
941 947
942 948 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
943 949 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
944 950 or only files.
945 951
946 952 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
947 953
948 954 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
949 955 they broke unittest
950 956
951 957 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
952 958
953 959 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
954 960 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
955 961 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
956 962 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
957 963
958 964 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
959 965
960 966 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
961 967 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
962 968 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
963 969 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
964 970 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
965 971
966 972 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
967 973
968 974 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
969 975 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
970 976
971 977 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
972 978
973 979 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
974 980 the mode argument).
975 981
976 982 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
977 983
978 984 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
979 985 not running under IPython.
980 986
981 987 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
982 988 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
983 989 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
984 990 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
985 991 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
986 992 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
987 993 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
988 994 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
989 995 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
990 996 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
991 997 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
992 998 are still supported.
993 999
994 1000 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
995 1001 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
996 1002 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
997 1003 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
998 1004
999 1005 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1000 1006 encoding into methods.
1001 1007
1002 1008 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1003 1009
1004 1010 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1005 1011 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1006 1012
1007 1013 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1008 1014
1009 1015 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1010 1016 non existing attributes.
1011 1017
1012 1018 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1013 1019
1014 1020 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1015 1021 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1016 1022
1017 1023 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1018 1024
1019 1025 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1020 1026 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1021 1027
1022 1028 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1023 1029
1024 1030 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1025 1031 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1026 1032 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1027 1033
1028 1034 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1029 1035
1030 1036 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1031 1037 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1032 1038 Stefan van der Walt.
1033 1039
1034 1040 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1035 1041
1036 1042 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1037 1043 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1038 1044
1039 1045 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1040 1046
1041 1047 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1042 1048 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1043 1049 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1044 1050
1045 1051 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1046 1052
1047 1053 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1048 1054 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1049 1055 attributes.
1050 1056
1051 1057 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1052 1058
1053 1059 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1054 1060 commands into the methods implementing them.
1055 1061
1056 1062 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1057 1063
1058 1064 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1059 1065 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1060 1066 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1061 1067
1062 1068 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1063 1069
1064 1070 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1065 1071 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1066 1072
1067 1073 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1068 1074
1069 1075 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1070 1076 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1071 1077
1072 1078 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1073 1079
1074 1080 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1075 1081 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1076 1082 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1077 1083 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1078 1084 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1079 1085 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1080 1086 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1081 1087 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1082 1088 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1083 1089 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1084 1090 the x key to "delete".
1085 1091
1086 1092 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1087 1093
1088 1094 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1089 1095 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1090 1096 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1091 1097 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1092 1098
1093 1099 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1094 1100 prompt
1095 1101
1096 1102 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1097 1103
1098 1104 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1099 1105
1100 1106 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1101 1107 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1102 1108 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1103 1109 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1104 1110
1105 1111 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1106 1112
1107 1113 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1108 1114 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1109 1115 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1110 1116 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1111 1117 doesn't work properly yet.
1112 1118
1113 1119 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1114 1120
1115 1121 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1116 1122 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1117 1123 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1118 1124
1119 1125 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1120 1126
1121 1127 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1122 1128 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1123 1129 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1124 1130 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1125 1131 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1126 1132 execute commands.
1127 1133
1128 1134 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1129 1135
1130 1136 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1131 1137 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1132 1138
1133 1139 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1134 1140
1135 1141 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1136 1142 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1137 1143
1138 1144 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1139 1145
1140 1146 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1141 1147 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1142 1148 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1143 1149
1144 1150 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1145 1151
1146 1152 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1147 1153
1148 1154 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1149 1155 Repo tagged and release cut.
1150 1156
1151 1157 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1152 1158
1153 1159 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1154 1160 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1155 1161
1156 1162 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1157 1163 (for %upgrade)
1158 1164
1159 1165 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1160 1166
1161 1167 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1162 1168 instead of looping 20 times.
1163 1169
1164 1170 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1165 1171 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1166 1172 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1167 1173
1168 1174 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1169 1175 testing for release on 06/06.
1170 1176
1171 1177 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1172 1178
1173 1179 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1174 1180 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1175 1181 live in people's PATH.
1176 1182
1177 1183 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1178 1184 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1179 1185 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1180 1186 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1181 1187 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1182 1188
1183 1189 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1184 1190 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1185 1191
1186 1192 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1187 1193
1188 1194 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1189 1195 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1190 1196
1191 1197 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1192 1198
1193 1199 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1194 1200 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1195 1201 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1196 1202
1197 1203 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1198 1204
1199 1205 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1200 1206 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1201 1207 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1202 1208 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1203 1209
1204 1210 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1205 1211 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1206 1212 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1207 1213 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1208 1214
1209 1215 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1210 1216 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1211 1217 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1212 1218 work.
1213 1219
1214 1220 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1215 1221
1216 1222 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1217 1223 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1218 1224
1219 1225 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1220 1226 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1221 1227 author William Stein.
1222 1228
1223 1229 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1224 1230 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1225 1231 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1226 1232 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1227 1233 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1228 1234 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1229 1235 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1230 1236 objects more easily.
1231 1237
1232 1238 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1233 1239
1234 1240 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1235 1241 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1236 1242 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1237 1243 by Jeffrey Collins.
1238 1244
1239 1245 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1240 1246 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1241 1247 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1242 1248 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1243 1249
1244 1250 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1245 1251 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1246 1252 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1247 1253 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1248 1254
1249 1255 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1250 1256 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1251 1257 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1252 1258 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1253 1259 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1254 1260 compatibility)
1255 1261
1256 1262 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1257 1263 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1258 1264 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1259 1265
1260 1266 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1261 1267 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1262 1268 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1263 1269 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1264 1270 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1265 1271
1266 1272 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1267 1273 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1268 1274 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1269 1275
1270 1276 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1271 1277 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1272 1278 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1273 1279 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1274 1280 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1275 1281 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1276 1282 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1277 1283
1278 1284 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1279 1285 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1280 1286 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1281 1287
1282 1288 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1283 1289 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1284 1290 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1285 1291
1286 1292 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1287 1293 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1288 1294
1289 1295 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1290 1296
1291 1297 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1292 1298 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1293 1299 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1294 1300 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1295 1301 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1296 1302 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1297 1303 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1298 1304 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1299 1305 while running under SAGE.
1300 1306
1301 1307 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1302 1308
1303 1309 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1304 1310 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1305 1311 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1306 1312 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1307 1313
1308 1314 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1309 1315
1310 1316 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1311 1317 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1312 1318 updated.
1313 1319
1314 1320 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1315 1321 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1316 1322 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1317 1323 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1318 1324 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1319 1325
1320 1326 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1321 1327 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1322 1328 so more testing is needed...
1323 1329
1324 1330 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1325 1331
1326 1332 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1327 1333 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1328 1334 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1329 1335 when doing complex debugging.
1330 1336 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1331 1337 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1332 1338 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1333 1339 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1334 1340
1335 1341 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1336 1342
1337 1343 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1338 1344 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1339 1345 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1340 1346 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1341 1347
1342 1348 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1343 1349
1344 1350 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1345 1351 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1346 1352
1347 1353 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1348 1354
1349 1355 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1350 1356 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1351 1357 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1352 1358 been the one to acquire it.
1353 1359
1354 1360 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1355 1361
1356 1362 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1357 1363
1358 1364 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1359 1365
1360 1366 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1361 1367 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1362 1368 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1363 1369
1364 1370 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1365 1371 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1366 1372 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1367 1373 properly flush the output cache.
1368 1374
1369 1375 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1370 1376 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1371 1377
1372 1378 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1373 1379
1374 1380 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1375 1381 are quoted
1376 1382
1377 1383 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1378 1384
1379 1385 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1380 1386 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1381 1387
1382 1388 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1383 1389 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1384 1390
1385 1391 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1386 1392
1387 1393 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1388 1394 %upgrade magic
1389 1395
1390 1396 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1391 1397
1392 1398 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1393 1399 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1394 1400 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1395 1401
1396 1402 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1397 1403
1398 1404 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1399 1405 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1400 1406
1401 1407 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1402 1408 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1403 1409 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1404 1410 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1405 1411 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1406 1412
1407 1413 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1408 1414
1409 1415 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1410 1416 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1411 1417
1412 1418 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1413 1419
1414 1420 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1415 1421 Torsten Marek.
1416 1422
1417 1423 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1418 1424
1419 1425 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1420 1426 line ranges works again.
1421 1427
1422 1428 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1423 1429
1424 1430 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1425 1431 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1426 1432 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1427 1433 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1428 1434 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1429 1435
1430 1436 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1431 1437 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1432 1438 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1433 1439 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1434 1440 more.
1435 1441
1436 1442 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1437 1443
1438 1444 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1439 1445 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1440 1446
1441 1447 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1442 1448
1443 1449 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1444 1450 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1445 1451
1446 1452 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1447 1453
1448 1454 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1449 1455
1450 1456 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1451 1457
1452 1458 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1453 1459
1454 1460 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1455 1461 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1456 1462 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1457 1463
1458 1464 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1459 1465
1460 1466 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1461 1467 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1462 1468 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1463 1469 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1464 1470
1465 1471 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1466 1472 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1467 1473
1468 1474 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1469 1475 contributed by marienz to close
1470 1476 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1471 1477
1472 1478 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1473 1479
1474 1480 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1475 1481
1476 1482 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1477 1483 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1478 1484 nonsense.
1479 1485
1480 1486 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1481 1487
1482 1488 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1483 1489 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1484 1490
1485 1491 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1486 1492
1487 1493 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1488 1494
1489 1495 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1490 1496 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1491 1497
1492 1498 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1493 1499
1494 1500 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1495 1501 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1496 1502 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1497 1503 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1498 1504 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1499 1505 SAGE team.
1500 1506 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1501 1507 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1502 1508
1503 1509 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1504 1510 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1505 1511 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1506 1512 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1507 1513 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1508 1514
1509 1515 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1510 1516
1511 1517 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1512 1518 correctly now (on Linux)
1513 1519
1514 1520 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1515 1521 warnings
1516 1522
1517 1523 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1518 1524
1519 1525 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1520 1526
1521 1527
1522 1528 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1523 1529
1524 1530 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1525 1531 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1526 1532 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1527 1533 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1528 1534 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1529 1535 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1530 1536 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1531 1537 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1532 1538
1533 1539 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1534 1540
1535 1541 * aliases can now be %store'd
1536 1542
1537 1543 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1538 1544 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1539 1545 at __init__.
1540 1546
1541 1547 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1542 1548 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1543 1549
1544 1550 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1545 1551
1546 1552 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1547 1553 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1548 1554 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1549 1555
1550 1556 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1551 1557
1552 1558 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1553 1559
1554 1560 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1555 1561
1556 1562 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1557 1563 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1558 1564 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1559 1565 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1560 1566
1561 1567 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1562 1568 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1563 1569
1564 1570 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1565 1571
1566 1572 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1567 1573 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1568 1574 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1569 1575 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1570 1576
1571 1577 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1572 1578 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1573 1579 usage.
1574 1580
1575 1581 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1576 1582 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1577 1583 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1578 1584
1579 1585 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1580 1586
1581 1587 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1582 1588 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1583 1589
1584 1590 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1585 1591 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1586 1592 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1587 1593
1588 1594 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1589 1595
1590 1596 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1591 1597
1592 1598 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1593 1599
1594 1600 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1595 1601 are now more helpful:
1596 1602 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1597 1603
1598 1604 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1599 1605
1600 1606 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1601 1607 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1602 1608
1603 1609 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1604 1610
1605 1611 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1606 1612 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1607 1613
1608 1614 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1609 1615 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1610 1616 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1611 1617
1612 1618 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1613 1619
1614 1620
1615 1621 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1616 1622
1617 1623 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1618 1624 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1619 1625
1620 1626 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1621 1627
1622 1628 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1623 1629 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1624 1630 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1625 1631 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1626 1632 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1627 1633 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1628 1634
1629 1635 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1630 1636
1631 1637 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1632 1638 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1633 1639 \python24\scripts).
1634 1640
1635 1641 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1636 1642 egg.
1637 1643
1638 1644 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1639 1645
1640 1646 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1641 1647
1642 1648 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1643 1649
1644 1650 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1645 1651
1646 1652 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1647 1653
1648 1654 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1649 1655 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1650 1656 \python24\scripts).
1651 1657
1652 1658 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1653 1659 egg.
1654 1660
1655 1661 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1656 1662
1657 1663 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1658 1664 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1659 1665 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1660 1666
1661 1667 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1662 1668 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1663 1669 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1664 1670 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1665 1671
1666 1672 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1667 1673 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1668 1674 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1669 1675 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1670 1676 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1671 1677 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1672 1678 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1673 1679 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1674 1680 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1675 1681 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1676 1682 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1677 1683 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1678 1684
1679 1685 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1680 1686
1681 1687 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1682 1688 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1683 1689 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1684 1690 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1685 1691
1686 1692 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1687 1693
1688 1694 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1689 1695 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1690 1696 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1691 1697 importing extensions easy.
1692 1698
1693 1699 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1694 1700 classes / instances of those classes.
1695 1701
1696 1702 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1697 1703 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1698 1704 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1699 1705 the user.
1700 1706
1701 1707 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1702 1708 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1703 1709 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1704 1710
1705 1711 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1706 1712
1707 1713 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1708 1714 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1709 1715 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1710 1716 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1711 1717 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1712 1718 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1713 1719 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1714 1720 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1715 1721 the method.
1716 1722
1717 1723 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1718 1724
1719 1725 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1720 1726 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1721 1727
1722 1728 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1723 1729
1724 1730 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1725 1731 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1726 1732 Vivian.
1727 1733
1728 1734 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1729 1735 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1730 1736 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1731 1737 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1732 1738 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1733 1739
1734 1740 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1735 1741
1736 1742 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1737 1743 that returns file contents on exit.
1738 1744
1739 1745 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1740 1746 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1741 1747 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1742 1748 sc files=ls
1743 1749 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1744 1750 print p,p.mtime
1745 1751
1746 1752 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1747 1753 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1748 1754 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1749 1755 instead of syntax error.
1750 1756
1751 1757
1752 1758 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1753 1759
1754 1760 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1755 1761 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1756 1762 data.
1757 1763
1758 1764 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1759 1765 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1760 1766 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1761 1767 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1762 1768
1763 1769 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1764 1770 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1765 1771 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1766 1772 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1767 1773 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1768 1774 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1769 1775
1770 1776 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1771 1777
1772 1778 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1773 1779 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1774 1780 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1775 1781 current dir.
1776 1782
1777 1783 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1778 1784 had to create new files.
1779 1785
1780 1786 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1781 1787 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1782 1788 future.
1783 1789
1784 1790 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1785 1791 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1786 1792 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1787 1793
1788 1794
1789 1795 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1790 1796
1791 1797 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1792 1798 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1793 1799 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1794 1800 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1795 1801 later.
1796 1802
1797 1803 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1798 1804 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1799 1805
1800 1806 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1801 1807
1802 1808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1803 1809 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1804 1810 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1805 1811 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1806 1812 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1807 1813 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1808 1814
1809 1815 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1810 1816
1811 1817 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1812 1818 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1813 1819 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1814 1820 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1815 1821 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1816 1822 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1817 1823 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1818 1824 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1819 1825 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1820 1826 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1821 1827
1822 1828 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1823 1829 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1824 1830 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1825 1831 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1826 1832
1827 1833 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1828 1834 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1829 1835 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1830 1836 "setup.py install" between changes).
1831 1837
1832 1838 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1833 1839 if 1:
1834 1840 !ls
1835 1841 !!ls
1836 1842
1837 1843 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1838 1844
1839 1845 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1840 1846 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1841 1847 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1842 1848 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1843 1849
1844 1850 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1845 1851 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1846 1852 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1847 1853
1848 1854 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1849 1855
1850 1856 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1851 1857 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1852 1858 win32.
1853 1859
1854 1860 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1855 1861
1856 1862 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1857 1863
1858 1864 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1859 1865 ready for release.
1860 1866
1861 1867 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1862 1868 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1863 1869 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1864 1870 where to copy the info from.
1865 1871
1866 1872 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1867 1873
1868 1874 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1869 1875 support in the release tools as well.
1870 1876
1871 1877 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1872 1878
1873 1879 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1874 1880 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1875 1881 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1876 1882 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1877 1883
1878 1884 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1879 1885 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1880 1886 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1881 1887
1882 1888 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1883 1889 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1884 1890
1885 1891 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1886 1892 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1887 1893 printer not to work.
1888 1894
1889 1895 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1890 1896
1891 1897 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1892 1898 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1893 1899
1894 1900 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1895 1901
1896 1902 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1897 1903 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1898 1904 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1899 1905
1900 1906 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1901 1907 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1902 1908 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1903 1909
1904 1910 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1905 1911 Ville's patch.
1906 1912
1907 1913 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1908 1914
1909 1915 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1910 1916 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1911 1917 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1912 1918 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1913 1919 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1914 1920 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1915 1921 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1916 1922
1917 1923 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1918 1924 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1919 1925 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1920 1926
1921 1927 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1922 1928
1923 1929 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1924 1930 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1925 1931
1926 1932 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1927 1933 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1928 1934 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1929 1935 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1930 1936 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1931 1937 twister).
1932 1938
1933 1939 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1934 1940 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1935 1941 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1936 1942
1937 1943 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1938 1944 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1939 1945 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1940 1946 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1941 1947 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1942 1948 something inside the dis module.
1943 1949
1944 1950 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1945 1951
1946 1952 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1947 1953 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1948 1954 follows the discussion in
1949 1955 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1950 1956
1951 1957 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1952 1958 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1953 1959 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1954 1960
1955 1961 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1956 1962 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1957 1963 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1958 1964
1959 1965 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1960 1966 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1961 1967 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1962 1968 speed up this routine.
1963 1969
1964 1970 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1965 1971 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1966 1972 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1967 1973 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1968 1974 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1969 1975 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1970 1976 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1971 1977 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1972 1978
1973 1979 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1974 1980 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1975 1981 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1976 1982
1977 1983 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1978 1984 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1979 1985 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1980 1986 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1981 1987 setters don't do anything).
1982 1988
1983 1989 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1984 1990
1985 1991 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1986 1992 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1987 1993 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1988 1994 falling out of sync...)
1989 1995
1990 1996 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1991 1997 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1992 1998 as loops).
1993 1999
1994 2000 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1995 2001 win32 system access.
1996 2002
1997 2003 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1998 2004
1999 2005 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2000 2006 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2001 2007 thread-safe.
2002 2008 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2003 2009 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2004 2010 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2005 2011 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2006 2012 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2007 2013 can still happen.
2008 2014 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2009 2015 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2010 2016 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2011 2017 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2012 2018 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2013 2019 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2014 2020 cleanly.
2015 2021
2016 2022 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2017 2023 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2018 2024 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2019 2025 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2020 2026 users' persisted data.
2021 2027
2022 2028 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2023 2029 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2024 2030 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2025 2031 multiline input (such as macros).
2026 2032
2027 2033 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2028 2034 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2029 2035 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2030 2036 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2031 2037 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2032 2038 informative).
2033 2039
2034 2040 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2035 2041 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2036 2042
2037 2043 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2038 2044 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2039 2045 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2040 2046
2041 2047 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2042 2048 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2043 2049 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2044 2050 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2045 2051 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2046 2052 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2047 2053 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2048 2054 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2049 2055 details.
2050 2056
2051 2057 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2052 2058 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2053 2059 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2054 2060 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2055 2061 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2056 2062
2057 2063 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2058 2064 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2059 2065 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2060 2066 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2061 2067 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2062 2068
2063 2069 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2064 2070 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2065 2071 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2066 2072 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2067 2073 options to %logstart. Closes
2068 2074 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2069 2075 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2070 2076
2071 2077 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2072 2078
2073 2079 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2074 2080 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2075 2081 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2076 2082 list:
2077 2083 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2078 2084
2079 2085 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2080 2086
2081 2087 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2082 2088 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2083 2089 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2084 2090 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2085 2091
2086 2092 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2087 2093 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2088 2094 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2089 2095 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2090 2096 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2091 2097
2092 2098 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2093 2099 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2094 2100 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2095 2101 true by default.
2096 2102
2097 2103 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2098 2104 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2099 2105 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2100 2106 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2101 2107
2102 2108 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2103 2109
2104 2110 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2105 2111 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2106 2112 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2107 2113 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2108 2114 version committed).
2109 2115
2110 2116 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2111 2117 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2112 2118 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2113 2119 discussion on the user list.
2114 2120
2115 2121 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2116 2122 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2117 2123 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2118 2124 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2119 2125
2120 2126 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2121 2127
2122 2128 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2123 2129 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2124 2130 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2125 2131
2126 2132 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2127 2133 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2128 2134 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2129 2135
2130 2136 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2131 2137 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2132 2138 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2133 2139 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2134 2140 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2135 2141 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2136 2142 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2137 2143 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2138 2144 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2139 2145 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2140 2146 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2141 2147 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2142 2148 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2143 2149 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2144 2150 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2145 2151 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2146 2152 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2147 2153 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2148 2154 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2149 2155 branch refactoring.
2150 2156
2151 2157 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2152 2158
2153 2159 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2154 2160 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2155 2161
2156 2162 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2157 2163 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2158 2164 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2159 2165 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2160 2166 worked correctly).
2161 2167
2162 2168 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2163 2169 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2164 2170 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2165 2171
2166 2172 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2167 2173
2168 2174 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2169 2175 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2170 2176 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2171 2177 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2172 2178 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2173 2179 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2174 2180 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2175 2181 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2176 2182
2177 2183 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2178 2184
2179 2185 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2180 2186 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2181 2187 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2182 2188 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2183 2189 on this.
2184 2190
2185 2191 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2186 2192
2187 2193 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2188 2194 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2189 2195 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2190 2196 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2191 2197 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2192 2198
2193 2199 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2194 2200
2195 2201 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2196 2202 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2197 2203 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2198 2204 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2199 2205
2200 2206 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2201 2207
2202 2208 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2203 2209 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2204 2210 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2205 2211
2206 2212 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2207 2213
2208 2214 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2209 2215 startup time.
2210 2216
2211 2217 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2212 2218 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2213 2219 it's working in all cases.
2214 2220
2215 2221 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2216 2222 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2217 2223 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2218 2224 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2219 2225 per-search basis.
2220 2226
2221 2227 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2222 2228
2223 2229 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2224 2230 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2225 2231 of a patch by Jorgen.
2226 2232
2227 2233 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2228 2234
2229 2235 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2230 2236 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2231 2237 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2232 2238
2233 2239 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2234 2240
2235 2241 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2236 2242 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2237 2243 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2238 2244 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>

2240 2246 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2241 2247
2242 2248 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2243 2249 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2244 2250 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2245 2251 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2246 2252 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2247 2253 implementing this functionality.

2249 2255 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2250 2256
2251 2257 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2252 2258 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2253 2259 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2254 2260 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2255 2261 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2256 2262 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2257 2263 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2258 2264
2259 2265 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2260 2266
2261 2267 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2262 2268 reported by Stephen Walton.
2263 2269
2264 2270 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2265 2271
2266 2272 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2267 2273
2268 2274 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2269 2275 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2270 2276
2271 2277 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2272 2278
2273 2279 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2274 2280 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2275 2281
2276 2282 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2277 2283 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2278 2284
2279 2285 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2280 2286
2281 2287 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2282 2288 finishing.
2283 2289
2284 2290 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2285 2291 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2286 2292
2287 2293 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2288 2294 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2289 2295 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2290 2296
2291 2297 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2292 2298 code, handy in general.
2293 2299
2294 2300 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2295 2301 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2296 2302 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2297 2303
2298 2304 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2299 2305
2300 2306 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2301 2307 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2302 2308 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2303 2309 testing, though.
2304 2310 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2305 2311 like this before...
2306 2312
2307 2313 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2308 2314 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2309 2315
2310 2316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2311 2317 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2312 2318
2313 2319 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2314 2320
2315 2321 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2316 2322 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2317 2323 F. Mantegazza.
2318 2324
2319 2325 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2320 2326
2321 2327 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2322 2328 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2323 2329 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2324 2330
2325 2331 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2326 2332 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2327 2333 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2328 2334 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2329 2335 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2330 2336 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2331 2337
2332 2338 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2333 2339
2334 2340 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2335 2341 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2336 2342 beyond readline-based environments.
2337 2343
2338 2344 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2339 2345
2340 2346 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2341 2347
2342 2348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2343 2349 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2344 2350 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2345 2351 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2346 2352 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2347 2353
2348 2354 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2349 2355
2350 2356 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2351 2357 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2352 2358 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2353 2359
2354 2360 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2355 2361
2356 2362 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2357 2363
2358 2364 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2359 2365
2360 2366 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2361 2367 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2362 2368 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2363 2369 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2364 2370 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2365 2371 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2366 2372
2367 2373 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2368 2374
2369 2375 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2370 2376
2371 2377 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2372 2378
2373 2379 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2374 2380 invalid $HOME under win32.
2375 2381
2376 2382 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2377 2383
2378 2384 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2379 2385 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2380 2386 simpler and a bit faster.
2381 2387
2382 2388 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2383 2389 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2384 2390 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2385 2391 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2386 2392 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2387 2393
2388 2394 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2389 2395 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2390 2396 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2391 2397
2392 2398 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2393 2399 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2394 2400
2395 2401 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2396 2402 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2397 2403 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2398 2404 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2399 2405 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2400 2406 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2401 2407 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2402 2408
2403 2409 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2404 2410
2405 2411 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2406 2412
2407 2413 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2408 2414
2409 2415 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2410 2416 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2411 2417
2412 2418 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2413 2419
2414 2420 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2415 2421 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2416 2422 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2417 2423 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2418 2424 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2419 2425 for the contribution.
2420 2426
2421 2427 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2422 2428 slightly modified version of the patch in
2423 2429 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2424 2430 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2425 2431 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2426 2432
2427 2433 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2428 2434
2429 2435 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2430 2436 I/O a bit more.
2431 2437
2432 2438 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2433 2439 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2434 2440
2435 2441 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2436 2442
2437 2443 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2438 2444
2439 2445 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2440 2446 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2441 2447 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2442 2448 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2443 2449
2444 2450 readline_remove_delims -/~
2445 2451
2446 2452
2447 2453 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2448 2454
2449 2455 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2450 2456
2451 2457 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2452 2458 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2453 2459 <eli@gondolin.net>
2454 2460
2455 2461 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2462
2457 2463 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2458 2464 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2459 2465
2460 2466 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2461 2467
2462 2468 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2463 2469 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2464 2470 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2465 2471
2466 2472 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2467 2473
2468 2474 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2469 2475 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2470 2476
2471 2477 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2472 2478
2473 2479 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2474 2480 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2475 2481
2476 2482 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2477 2483 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2478 2484 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2479 2485 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2480 2486 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2481 2487 for more details.
2482 2488
2483 2489 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2484 2490 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2485 2491 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2486 2492 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2487 2493
2488 2494 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2489 2495
2490 2496 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2491 2497 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2492 2498 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2493 2499 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2494 2500 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2495 2501
2496 2502 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2497 2503 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2498 2504 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2499 2505
2500 2506 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2501 2507
2502 2508 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2503 2509
2504 2510 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2505 2511
2506 2512 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2507 2513 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2508 2514 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2509 2515 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2510 2516 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2511 2517
2512 2518 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2513 2519
2514 2520 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2515 2521
2516 2522 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2517 2523 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2518 2524 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2519 2525 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2520 2526 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2521 2527
2522 2528 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2523 2529 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2524 2530 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2525 2531 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2526 2532 take the text parameter.
2527 2533
2528 2534 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2529 2535 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2530 2536 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2531 2537 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2532 2538 pysh profile to include the line
2533 2539
2534 2540 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2535 2541
2536 2542 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2537 2543 delete pysh.py and the line
2538 2544
2539 2545 execfile pysh.py
2540 2546
2541 2547 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2542 2548
2543 2549 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2544 2550 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2545 2551 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2546 2552 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2547 2553 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2548 2554
2549 2555 * pysh.py:
2550 2556
2551 2557 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2552 2558
2553 2559 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2554 2560 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2555 2561 want it can still turn it off.
2556 2562
2557 2563 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2558 2564 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2559 2565 off by default.
2560 2566
2561 2567 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2562 2568 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2563 2569 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2564 2570 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2565 2571 calls.
2566 2572
2567 2573 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2568 2574
2569 2575 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2570 2576 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2571 2577 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2572 2578
2573 2579 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2574 2580
2575 2581 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2576 2582 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2577 2583 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2578 2584 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2579 2585
2580 2586 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2581 2587 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2582 2588 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2583 2589 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2584 2590
2585 2591 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2586 2592
2587 2593 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2588 2594 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2589 2595
2590 2596 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2591 2597 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2592 2598 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2593 2599 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2594 2600 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2595 2601 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2596 2602 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2597 2603 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.

2599 2605 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2600 2606
2601 2607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2602 2608 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2603 2609 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2604 2610 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2605 2611 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2606 2612 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2607 2613 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2608 2614 add new completers at runtime.
2609 2615
2610 2616 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2611 2617
2612 2618 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2613 2619 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2614 2620 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2615 2621 ? system.
2616 2622
2617 2623 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2618 2624 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2619 2625 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2620 2626 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2621 2627 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2622 2628 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2623 2629 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2624 2630 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2625 2631
2626 2632 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2627 2633
2628 2634 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2629 2635 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2630 2636 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2631 2637 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2632 2638 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2633 2639
2634 2640 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2635 2641 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2636 2642 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2637 2643 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2638 2644 add:
2639 2645
2640 2646 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2641 2647 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

2643 2649 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2644 2650
2645 2651 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2646 2652 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2647 2653 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2648 2654 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2649 2655
2650 2656 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2651 2657 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2652 2658 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2653 2659 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2654 2660 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2655 2661 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2656 2662 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2657 2663 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2658 2664 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2659 2665
2660 2666 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2661 2667
2662 2668 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2663 2669 prompt namespace handling.
2664 2670
2665 2671 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2666 2672
2667 2673 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2668 2674 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2669 2675 trips the emacs python mode).
2670 2676 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2671 2677 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2672 2678 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2673 2679 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2674 2680 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2675 2681 calls will be made at runtime.
2676 2682
2677 2683 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2678 2684
2679 2685 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2680 2686 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2681 2687 the call to %history.
2682 2688

2685 2691 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2686 2692
2687 2693 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2688 2694 ipmagic() function calls.
2689 2695
2690 2696 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2691 2697 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2692 2698
2693 2699 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2694 2700
2695 2701 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2696 2702 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2697 2703 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2698 2704 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2699 2705 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2700 2706 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2701 2707 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2702 2708 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2703 2709
2704 2710 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2705 2711
2706 2712 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2707 2713 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2708 2714 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2709 2715 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2710 2716 Ville Vainio.

2712 2718 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2713 2719
2714 2720 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2715 2721 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2716 2722 define the ones they personally like.
2717 2723
2718 2724 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2719 2725
2720 2726 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2721 2727 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2722 2728
2723 2729 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2724 2730
2725 2731 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2726 2732 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2727 2733
2728 2734 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2729 2735 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2730 2736 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2731 2737 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2732 2738 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2733 2739 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2734 2740 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2735 2741 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2736 2742
2737 2743 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2738 2744 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2739 2745 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2740 2746 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2741 2747 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2742 2748
2743 2749 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2744 2750
2745 2751 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2746 2752 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2747 2753 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2748 2754
2749 2755 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2750 2756 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2751 2757 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2752 2758
2753 2759 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2754 2760
2755 2761 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2756 2762
2757 2763 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2758 2764 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2759 2765 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2760 2766 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2761 2767 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2762 2768 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2763 2769 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2764 2770 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2765 2771 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2766 2772 system is a separate implementation).
2767 2773
2768 2774 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2769 2775 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2770 2776 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2771 2777 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2772 2778 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2773 2779 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2774 2780 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2775 2781 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2776 2782 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2777 2783 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2778 2784 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

2780 2786 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2781 2787
2782 2788 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2783 2789 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2784 2790 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2785 2791 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2786 2792 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2787 2793 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2788 2794 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2789 2795 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

2791 2797 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2792 2798
2793 2799 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2794 2800 previous call produced a syntax error.
2795 2801
2796 2802 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2797 2803 classes without constructor.

2799 2805 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2800 2806
2801 2807 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2802 2808 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2803 2809 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2804 2810 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2805 2811 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2806 2812 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2807 2813 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

2809 2815 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2810 2816
2811 2817 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2812 2818 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2813 2819
2814 2820 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2815 2821
2816 2822 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2817 2823 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2818 2824 optimizations.
2819 2825
2820 2826 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2821 2827 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2822 2828
2823 2829 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2824 2830
2825 2831 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2826 2832 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2827 2833 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2828 2834 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2829 2835 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2830 2836 avoid annoying the lists further.

2834 2840 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2835 2841
2836 2842 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2837 2843 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2838 2844 norm definitions.
2839 2845 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2840 2846 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2841 2847 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2842 2848
2843 2849 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2844 2850 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2845 2851 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2846 2852 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2847 2853 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2848 2854
2849 2855 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2850 2856 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2851 2857 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2852 2858 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2853 2859
2854 2860 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2855 2861 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2856 2862 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2857 2863 fixes.
2858 2864
2859 2865 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2860 2866 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2861 2867 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2862 2868 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2863 2869 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2864 2870 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2865 2871 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2869 2875 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2870 2876
2871 2877 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2872 2878 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2873 2879 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2874 2880 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2875 2881 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2876 2882 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2877 2883 Panel.
2878 2884
2879 2885 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2880 2886 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2881 2887 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2882 2888 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2883 2889 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2884 2890
2885 2891 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2886 2892
2887 2893 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2888 2894 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2889 2895

2893 2899
2894 2900 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2895 2901 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2896 2902 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2897 2903 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2898 2904 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2899 2905 python shell.
2900 2906
2901 2907 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2902 2908 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2903 2909 on assignments. This closes
2904 2910 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2905 2911 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2906 2912 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2909 2915

2920 2926 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2921 2927
2922 2928 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting

2930 2936 'parent' object were present on the same line.

2935 2941 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2936 2942 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2937 2943
2938 2944 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2939 2945 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2940 2946 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2941 2947
2942 2948 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2943 2949
2944 2950 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2945 2951 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2946 2952
2947 2953 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2948 2954
2949 2955 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2950 2956 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2951 2957 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2952 2958
2953 2959 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2954 2960
2955 2961 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2956 2962 reported by Prabhu.
2957 2963 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2958 2964 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2959 2965 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2960 2966
2961 2967 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2962 2968 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2963 2969
2964 2970 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2965 2971 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2966 2972 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2967 2973 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2968 2974 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2969 2975 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2970 2976
2971 2977 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2972 2978
2973 2979 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2974 2980
2975 2981 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2976 2982 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2977 2983 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2978 2984 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2979 2985
2980 2986 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2981 2987 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2982 2988
2983 2989 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2984 2990 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2985 2991 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2986 2992 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2987 2993 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2988 2994 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2989 2995 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2990 2996
2991 2997 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2992 2998 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2993 2999 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2994 3000
2995 3001 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2996 3002 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2997 3003 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2998 3004 before.
2999 3005
3000 3006 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3001 3007
3002 3008 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3003 3009 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3004 3010 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3005 3011 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3006 3012
3007 3013 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3008 3014 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3009 3015 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3010 3016 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3011 3017 timing very short-running code.
3012 3018
3013 3019 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3014 3020 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3015 3021 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3016 3022 utility.
3017 3023
3018 3024 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3019 3025 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3020 3026 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3021 3027 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3022 3028 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3023 3029 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3024 3030 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3025 3031 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3026 3032
3027 3033 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3028 3034 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3029 3035 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3030 3036
3031 3037 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3032 3038 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3033 3039 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3034 3040 is for).
3035 3041
3036 3042 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3037 3043 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3038 3044 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3039 3045 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3040 3046 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3041 3047
3042 3048 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3043 3049
3044 3050 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3045 3051 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3046 3052 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3047 3053 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3048 3054 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3049 3055
3050 3056 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3051 3057 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3052 3058 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3053 3059 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3054 3060 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3055 3061 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3056 3062
3057 3063 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3058 3064
3059 3065 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3060 3066 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3061 3067
3062 3068 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3063 3069
3064 3070 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3065 3071 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3066 3072 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3067 3073 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3068 3074
3069 3075 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3070 3076
3071 3077 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3072 3078
3073 3079 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3074 3080 setting with -d option.
3075 3081
3076 3082 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3077 3083 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3078 3084 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3079 3085 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3080 3086
3081 3087 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3082 3088
3083 3089 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3084 3090 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3085 3091
3086 3092 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3087 3093 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3088 3094 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3089 3095 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3090 3096 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3091 3097 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3092 3098 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3093 3099 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3094 3100 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3095 3101 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3096 3102 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3097 3103
3098 3104 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3099 3105
3100 3106 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3101 3107 cache when empty lines were present.
3102 3108
3103 3109 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3104 3110
3105 3111 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3106 3112 options for WX and GTK.
3107 3113
3108 3114 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3115
3110 3116 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3111 3117 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3112 3118 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3113 3119 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3114 3120 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3115 3121 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3116 3122 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3117 3123
3118 3124 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3119 3125 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3120 3126
3121 3127 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3122 3128
3123 3129 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3124 3130 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3125 3131 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3126 3132 many thanks.
3127 3133
3128 3134 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3129 3135 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3130 3136 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3131 3137
3132 3138 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3133 3139
3134 3140 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3135 3141 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3136 3142 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3137 3143
3138 3144 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3139 3145
3140 3146 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3141 3147
3142 3148 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3143 3149 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3144 3150 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3145 3151
3146 3152 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3147 3153
3148 3154 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3149 3155 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3150 3156
3151 3157 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3152 3158
3153 3159 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3154 3160 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3155 3161 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3156 3162 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3157 3163 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3158 3164 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3159 3165 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3160 3166
3161 3167 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3162 3168
3163 3169 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3164 3170 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3165 3171 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3166 3172 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3167 3173
3168 3174 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3169 3175 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3170 3176
3171 3177 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3172 3178
3173 3179 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3174 3180 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3175 3181
3176 3182 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3177 3183 use throughout ipython.
3178 3184
3179 3185 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3180 3186 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3181 3187
3182 3188 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3183 3189 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3184 3190 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3185 3191 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3186 3192
3187 3193 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3188 3194
3189 3195 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3190 3196 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3191 3197 report by Francesc Alted.
3192 3198
3193 3199 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3194 3200
3195 3201 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3196 3202 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3197 3203
3198 3204 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3199 3205
3200 3206 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3201 3207 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3202 3208 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3203 3209 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3204 3210 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3205 3211 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3206 3212 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3207 3213 correctly set.
3208 3214
3209 3215 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3210 3216
3211 3217 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3212 3218 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3213 3219 import requirement of PEP-328.
3214 3220
3215 3221 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3216 3222 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3217 3223 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3218 3224 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3219 3225
3220 3226 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3221 3227
3222 3228 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3223 3229
3224 3230 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3225 3231 via a normal python function call.
3226 3232
3227 3233 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3228 3234 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3229 3235 2.4.
3230 3236
3231 3237 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3232 3238
3233 3239 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3234 3240 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3235 3241 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3236 3242 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3237 3243 is given to the user).
3238 3244
3239 3245 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3240 3246
3241 3247 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3242 3248 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3243 3249 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3244 3250 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3245 3251
3246 3252 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3247 3253 python 2.2.
3248 3254
3249 3255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3250 3256 banner arg for embedded customization.
3251 3257
3252 3258 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3253 3259 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3254 3260 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3255 3261 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3256 3262 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3257 3263 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3258 3264
3259 3265 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3260 3266 minor changes to debian dir.
3261 3267
3262 3268 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3263 3269 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3264 3270 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3265 3271 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3266 3272
3267 3273 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3268 3274
3269 3275 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3270 3276 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3271 3277 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3272 3278 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3273 3279 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.

3277 3283 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3278 3284 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3279 3285
3280 3286 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3281 3287
3282 3288 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3283 3289 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.

3294 3300 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3295 3301 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3296 3302 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3297 3303 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3298 3304 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3299 3305
3300 3306 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3301 3307 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3302 3308 split regexp. Closes
3303 3309 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3304 3310 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3305 3311 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3306 3312 extensions.
3307 3313
3308 3314 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3309 3315 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3310 3316 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3311 3317 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3312 3318 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3313 3319
3314 3320 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3315 3321 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3316 3322 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3317 3323 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3318 3324
3319 3325 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3320 3326 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3321 3327
3322 3328 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3323 3329 fine-tune banner.
3324 3330
3325 3331 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3326 3332 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3327 3333
3328 3334 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3329 3335
3330 3336 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3331 3337 were missing.
3332 3338
3333 3339 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3334 3340 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3335 3341 valid at the command line.
3336 3342
3337 3343 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3338 3344 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3339 3345
3340 3346 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3341 3347
3342 3348 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3343 3349 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3344 3350 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3345 3351
3346 3352 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3353
3348 3354 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3349 3355 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3350 3356 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3351 3357 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3352 3358 continue to use the standard profiler.
3353 3359
3354 3360 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3355 3361
3356 3362 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3357 3363 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3358 3364 close.
3359 3365
3360 3366 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3361 3367
3362 3368 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3363 3369 in Magic and ultraTB.
3364 3370
3365 3371 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3366 3372
3367 3373 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3368 3374 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3369 3375 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3370 3376 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3371 3377
3372 3378 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3373 3379 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3374 3380 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3375 3381 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3376 3382 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3377 3383 infrastructure in place.
3378 3384
3379 3385 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3380 3386
3381 3387 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3382 3388
3383 3389 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3384 3390 the pylab profile.
3385 3391
3386 3392 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3387 3393
3388 3394 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3389 3395
3390 3396 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3391 3397 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3392 3398 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3393 3399 itself.
3394 3400
3395 3401 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3396 3402 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3397 3403 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3398 3404 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3399 3405 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3400 3406 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3401 3407 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3402 3408 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3403 3409
3404 3410 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3405 3411 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3406 3412
3407 3413 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3408 3414
3409 3415 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3410 3416 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3411 3417 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3412 3418
3413 3419 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3414 3420
3415 3421 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3416 3422 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3417 3423
3418 3424 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3419 3425
3420 3426 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3421 3427
3422 3428 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3423 3429
3424 3430 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3425 3431
3426 3432 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3427 3433 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3428 3434 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3429 3435
3430 3436 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3437
3432 3438 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3433 3439 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3434 3440 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3435 3441 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3436 3442 works.
3437 3443
3438 3444 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3439 3445 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3440 3446 practice.
3441 3447
3442 3448 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3443 3449
3444 3450 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3445 3451 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3446 3452 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3447 3453
3448 3454 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3449 3455
3450 3456 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3451 3457 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3452 3458 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3453 3459 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3454 3460
3455 3461 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3456 3462
3457 3463 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3458 3464 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3459 3465 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3460 3466 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3461 3467
3462 3468 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3463 3469
3464 3470 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3465 3471
3466 3472 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3467 3473 fail for any number.
3468 3474 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3469 3475 empty bookmarks.
3470 3476
3471 3477 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3472 3478
3473 3479 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3474 3480
3475 3481 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3476 3482
3477 3483 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3478 3484 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3479 3485
3480 3486 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3481 3487 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3482 3488
3483 3489 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3484 3490
3485 3491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3486 3492 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3487 3493 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3488 3494 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3489 3495 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3490 3496
3491 3497 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3492 3498
3493 3499 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3494 3500 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3495 3501
3496 3502 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3497 3503
3498 3504 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3499 3505 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3500 3506 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3501 3507 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3502 3508
3503 3509 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3504 3510 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3505 3511 Schmolck.
3506 3512
3507 3513 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3514
3509 3515 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3510 3516
3511 3517 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3512 3518 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3513 3519
3514 3520 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3515 3521 optimizations.
3516 3522
3517 3523 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3518 3524 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3519 3525
3520 3526 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3521 3527 --Started changelog.
3522 3528 --make clear do what it say it does
3523 3529 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3524 3530 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3525 3531 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3526 3532 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3527 3533 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3528 3534 can be done for other cases.
3529 3535 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3530 3536 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3531 3537 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3532 3538
3533 3539 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3534 3540 --added logfile rotation
3535 3541 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3536 3542
3537 3543 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3538 3544 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3539 3545 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3540 3546 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3541 3547 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3542 3548 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3543 3549 --added global logfile option
3544 3550 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3545 3551 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3546 3552
3547 3553 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3548 3554 --added a README
3549 3555 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3550 3556 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3551 3557 bug or feature.
3552 3558 --changed rc file for new behavior
3553 3559
3554 3560 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3555 3561
3556 3562 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3557 3563 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3558 3564 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3559 3565
3560 3566 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3561 3567 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3562 3568
3563 3569 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3564 3570
3565 3571 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3566 3572 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3567 3573 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3568 3574 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3569 3575 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3570 3576 and prepended with a #.
3571 3577
3572 3578 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3573 3579 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3574 3580
3575 3581 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3576 3582
3577 3583 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3578 3584 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3579 3585
3580 3586 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3587
3582 3588 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3583 3589 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3584 3590
3585 3591 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3586 3592
3587 3593 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3588 3594 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3589 3595 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3590 3596
3591 3597 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3598
3593 3599 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3594 3600 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3595 3601
3596 3602 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3597 3603 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3598 3604 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3599 3605 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3600 3606 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3601 3607 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3602 3608 be implemented later).
3603 3609
3604 3610 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3605 3611 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3606 3612 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3607 3613 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3608 3614
3609 3615 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3610 3616 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3611 3617 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3612 3618
3613 3619 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3614 3620 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3615 3621
3616 3622 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3617 3623 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3618 3624 readline make it impossible to go further.
3619 3625
3620 3626 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3621 3627
3622 3628 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3623 3629 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3624 3630
3625 3631 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3626 3632
3627 3633 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3628 3634 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3629 3635 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3630 3636 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3631 3637
3632 3638 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3633 3639 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3634 3640 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3635 3641 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3636 3642
3637 3643 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3638 3644 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3639 3645 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3640 3646 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3641 3647 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3642 3648 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3643 3649 problem.
3644 3650
3645 3651 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3646 3652 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3647 3653
3648 3654 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3649 3655 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by

3652 3658 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3653 3659
3654 3660 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3655 3661 continue prompts.
3656 3662
3657 3663 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3658 3664 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3659 3665 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3660 3666 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3661 3667 byte-compilation saves time.
3662 3668
3663 3669 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3664 3670
3665 3671 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3666 3672 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3667 3673
3668 3674 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3669 3675 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3670 3676
3671 3677 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3672 3678 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3673 3679 common cases where it's a problem.
3674 3680
3675 3681 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3676 3682
3677 3683 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3678 3684 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3679 3685 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3680 3686 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3681 3687 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3682 3688 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3683 3689
3684 3690 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3691
3686 3692 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3687 3693 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3688 3694
3689 3695 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3690 3696 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3691 3697 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3692 3698 structure as win_exec_ext.
3693 3699
3694 3700 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3695 3701 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3696 3702
3697 3703 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3698 3704 delete aliases.
3699 3705
3700 3706 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3701 3707 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3702 3708
3703 3709 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3704 3710
3705 3711 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3706 3712 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3707 3713
3708 3714 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3715
3710 3716 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3711 3717 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3712 3718
3713 3719 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3714 3720 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3715 3721
3716 3722 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3717 3723 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3718 3724 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3719 3725 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3720 3726 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3721 3727 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3722 3728
3723 3729 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3724 3730 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3725 3731 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3726 3732
3727 3733 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3728 3734 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3729 3735 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3730 3736
3731 3737 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3732 3738 via an extra $. For example:
3733 3739
3734 3740 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3735 3741
3736 3742 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3737 3743 a python variable
3738 3744
3739 3745 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3740 3746 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3741 3747
3742 3748 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3743 3749 things prematurely.
3744 3750
3745 3751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3746 3752 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3747 3753
3748 3754 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3749 3755 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3750 3756 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3751 3757 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3752 3758 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3753 3759 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3754 3760 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3755 3761 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3756 3762
3757 3763 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3758 3764 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3759 3765 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3760 3766 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3761 3767 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3762 3768 with the old system).
3763 3769
3764 3770 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3771
3766 3772 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3767 3773 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3768 3774
3769 3775 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3770 3776 call to eval.
3771 3777 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3772 3778 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3773 3779 in.
3774 3780
3775 3781 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3776 3782
3777 3783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3778 3784 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3779 3785 confusion).
3780 3786
3781 3787 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3782 3788 check for Windows users.
3783 3789
3784 3790 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3785 3791 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3786 3792 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3787 3793 download it.
3788 3794
3789 3795 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3790 3796
3791 3797 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3792 3798 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3793 3799 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3794 3800 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3795 3801 of IDLE's out).
3796 3802
3797 3803 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3798 3804 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3799 3805 eventually.
3800 3806 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3801 3807
3802 3808 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3803 3809
3804 3810 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3805 3811 list of auto-defined aliases.
3806 3812
3807 3813 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3808 3814
3809 3815 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3810 3816 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3811 3817 things under Windows).
3812 3818
3813 3819 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3814 3820
3815 3821 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3816 3822 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3817 3823 reported by Thorsten.
3818 3824
3819 3825 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3820 3826
3821 3827 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3822 3828 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3823 3829 for all examples and the manual as well.
3824 3830
3825 3831 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3826 3832
3827 3833 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3828 3834 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3829 3835 inherit from BasePrompt.
3830 3836
3831 3837 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3832 3838 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3833 3839
3834 3840 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3835 3841 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3836 3842 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3837 3843 defaults.
3838 3844 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3839 3845 this fix manually!
3840 3846
3841 3847 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3842 3848 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3843 3849 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3844 3850 distutils).
3845 3851
3846 3852 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3847 3853 usage of new '\D' escape.
3848 3854
3849 3855 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3850 3856 lacks os.getuid())
3851 3857 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3852 3858 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3853 3859 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3854 3860 handling mechanism.
3855 3861 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3856 3862 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3857 3863 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3858 3864 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3859 3865 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3860 3866 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3861 3867 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3862 3868
3863 3869 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3864 3870
3865 3871 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3866 3872 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3867 3873 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3868 3874
3869 3875 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3870 3876 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3871 3877 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3872 3878 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3873 3879 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3874 3880 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3875 3881 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3876 3882 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3877 3883
3878 3884 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3879 3885 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3880 3886 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3881 3887 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3882 3888 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3883 3889 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3884 3890 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3885 3891 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3886 3892
3887 3893 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3888 3894 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3889 3895 functions uniform.
3890 3896 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3891 3897
3892 3898 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3893 3899 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3894 3900 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3895 3901 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3896 3902 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3897 3903 use to parse their options.
3898 3904
3899 3905 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3900 3906 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3901 3907 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3902 3908
3903 3909 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3904 3910 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3905 3911 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3906 3912 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3907 3913 via the prompt_specials.
3908 3914
3909 3915 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3910 3916
3911 3917 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3912 3918 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3913 3919 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3914 3920 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3915 3921 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3916 3922 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3917 3923 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3918 3924 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3919 3925
3920 3926 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3921 3927
3922 3928 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3923 3929 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3924 3930 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3925 3931
3926 3932 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3927 3933
3928 3934 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3929 3935 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3930 3936
3931 3937 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3932 3938
3933 3939 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3934 3940 parens would get passed to the shell.
3935 3941
3936 3942 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3937 3943
3938 3944 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3939 3945 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3940 3946
3941 3947 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3942 3948 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3943 3949 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3944 3950 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3945 3951 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3946 3952
3947 3953 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3948 3954 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3949 3955 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3950 3956 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3951 3957
3952 3958 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3953 3959
3954 3960 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3955 3961
3956 3962 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3957 3963 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3958 3964 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3959 3965
3960 3966 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3961 3967 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3962 3968 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3963 3969 official documentation.
3964 3970
3965 3971 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3966 3972
3967 3973 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3968 3974 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3969 3975 explicit filename.
3970 3976
3971 3977 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3972 3978
3973 3979 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3974 3980 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3975 3981 case.
3976 3982
3977 3983 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3978 3984 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3979 3985 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3980 3986
3981 3987 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3982 3988
3983 3989 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3984 3990
3985 3991 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3986 3992 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3987 3993 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3988 3994 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3989 3995 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3990 3996 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3991 3997 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3992 3998 any changes to python proper.
3993 3999
3994 4000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3995 4001 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3996 4002 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3997 4003 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3998 4004 Schmolck.
3999 4005
4000 4006 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4001 4007
4002 4008 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4003 4009 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4004 4010 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4005 4011 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.

4009 4015 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4010 4016 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4011 4017 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4012 4018 name).
4013 4019
4014 4020 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4015 4021 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4016 4022 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4017 4023 Francois Pinard.
4018 4024
4019 4025 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4020 4026
4021 4027 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4022 4028 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4023 4029 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4024 4030 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4025 4031 not work.
4026 4032
4027 4033 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4028 4034
4029 4035 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4030 4036 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4031 4037 distinguishes stdout/err.
4032 4038
4033 4039 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4034 4040 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4035 4041 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4036 4042 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4037 4043 the standard library.
4038 4044
4039 4045 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4040 4046 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4041 4047
4042 4048 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4043 4049 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4044 4050
4045 4051 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4052
4047 4053 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4048 4054 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4049 4055 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4050 4056 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4051 4057 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4052 4058 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4053 4059
4054 4060 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4055 4061
4056 4062 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4057 4063 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4058 4064 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4059 4065 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4060 4066
4061 4067 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4062 4068
4063 4069 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4064 4070 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4065 4071 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4066 4072 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4067 4073
4068 4074 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4069 4075
4070 4076 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4071 4077 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4072 4078 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4073 4079 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4074 4080 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4075 4081 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4076 4082 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4077 4083 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4078 4084
4079 4085 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4080 4086
4081 4087 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4082 4088 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4083 4089
4084 4090 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4085 4091
4086 4092 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4087 4093 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4088 4094 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4089 4095 very short.
4090 4096
4091 4097 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4092 4098
4093 4099 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4094 4100 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4095 4101 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4096 4102 this before making it permanent.
4097 4103
4098 4104 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4099 4105 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4100 4106 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4101 4107 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4102 4108
4103 4109 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4104 4110
4105 4111 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4106 4112 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4107 4113
4108 4114 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4109 4115
4110 4116 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4111 4117 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4112 4118 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4113 4119 cases I've missed.
4114 4120
4115 4121 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4116 4122
4117 4123 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4118 4124 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4119 4125 system would be triggered for @p.
4120 4126
4121 4127 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4122 4128 cleanups, code unmodified.
4123 4129
4124 4130 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4125 4131 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4126 4132 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4127 4133 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4128 4134 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4129 4135 The actual changes affect many files.
4130 4136
4131 4137 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4132 4138
4133 4139 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4134 4140 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4135 4141 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4136 4142
4137 4143 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4138 4144
4139 4145 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4140 4146 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4141 4147
4142 4148 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4143 4149
4144 4150 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4145 4151 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4146 4152 numpy list.
4147 4153
4148 4154 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4149 4155
4150 4156 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4151 4157 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4152 4158 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4153 4159 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4154 4160
4155 4161 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4156 4162
4157 4163 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4158 4164 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4159 4165 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4160 4166 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4161 4167
4162 4168 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4163 4169 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4164 4170
4165 4171 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4172
4167 4173 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4168 4174 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4169 4175 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4170 4176 Collins.
4171 4177
4172 4178 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4173 4179
4174 4180 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4175 4181
4176 4182 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4177 4183 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4178 4184 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4179 4185
4180 4186 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4181 4187
4182 4188 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4183 4189 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4184 4190 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4185 4191 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4186 4192
4187 4193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4188 4194 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4189 4195 __getitem__ and __call__.
4190 4196
4191 4197 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4192 4198
4193 4199 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4194 4200
4195 4201 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4196 4202 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4197 4203 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4198 4204 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4199 4205
4200 4206 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4201 4207 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4202 4208 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4203 4209 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4204 4210 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4205 4211 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4206 4212 necessary.
4207 4213
4208 4214 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4209 4215 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4210 4216 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4211 4217
4212 4218 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4213 4219 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4214 4220 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4215 4221 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4216 4222
4217 4223 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4218 4224 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4219 4225 generators.
4220 4226
4221 4227 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4222 4228 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4223 4229 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4224 4230 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4225 4231 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4226 4232 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4227 4233 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4228 4234
4229 4235 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4230 4236 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4231 4237 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4232 4238 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4233 4239 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4234 4240
4235 4241 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4236 4242 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4237 4243 edit under some circumstances.
4238 4244 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4239 4245 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4240 4246 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4241 4247 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4242 4248 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4243 4249 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4244 4250 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4245 4251 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4246 4252 need more testing.
4247 4253
4248 4254 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4249 4255
4250 4256 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4251 4257 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4252 4258 and simpler code.
4253 4259
4254 4260 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4255 4261
4256 4262 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4257 4263 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4258 4264 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4259 4265 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4260 4266 even if they were contiguous.
4261 4267 (l1norm): Added this function.
4262 4268 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4263 4269 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4264 4270 and speed.
4265 4271
4266 4272 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4267 4273
4268 4274 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4269 4275 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4270 4276 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4271 4277
4272 4278 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4273 4279
4274 4280 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4275 4281 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4276 4282 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4277 4283
4278 4284 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4279 4285 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4280 4286 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4281 4287
4282 4288 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4283 4289
4284 4290 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4285 4291 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4286 4292 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4287 4293 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4288 4294 activity.
4289 4295
4290 4296 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4297
4292 4298 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4293 4299 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4294 4300 Numeric.identity)
4295 4301
4296 4302 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4297 4303
4298 4304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4299 4305 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4300 4306 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4301 4307
4302 4308 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4303 4309
4304 4310 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4305 4311 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4306 4312 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4307 4313 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4308 4314
4309 4315 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4310 4316 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4311 4317 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4312 4318 is implemented).
4313 4319
4314 4320 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4315 4321
4316 4322 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4317 4323 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4318 4324 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4319 4325
4320 4326 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4321 4327 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4322 4328 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4323 4329 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4324 4330 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4325 4331
4326 4332 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4327 4333
4328 4334 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4329 4335
4330 4336 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4331 4337 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4332 4338 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4333 4339
4334 4340 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4335 4341
4336 4342 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4337 4343 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4338 4344 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4339 4345
4340 4346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4341 4347 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4342 4348 crash report from Prabhu.
4343 4349
4344 4350 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4345 4351
4346 4352 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4347 4353 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4348 4354 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4349 4355 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4350 4356 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4351 4357 also be useful in other cases.
4352 4358
4353 4359 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4354 4360 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4355 4361 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4356 4362
4357 4363 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4358 4364
4359 4365 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4360 4366
4361 4367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4362 4368 installing for a new user under Windows.
4363 4369
4364 4370 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4365 4371
4366 4372 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4367 4373 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4368 4374 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4369 4375 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4370 4376 there.
4371 4377
4372 4378 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4373 4379 info to crash reports.
4374 4380
4375 4381 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4376 4382 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4377 4383 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4378 4384 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4379 4385
4380 4386 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4381 4387
4382 4388 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4383 4389 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4384 4390 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4385 4391 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4386 4392
4387 4393 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4388 4394
4389 4395 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4390 4396 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4391 4397
4392 4398 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4393 4399
4394 4400 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4395 4401 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4396 4402
4397 4403 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4398 4404
4399 4405 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4400 4406
4401 4407 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4402 4408 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4403 4409 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4404 4410
4405 4411 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4406 4412 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4407 4413 with the new auto-indent option.
4408 4414
4409 4415 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4416
4411 4417 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4412 4418 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4413 4419 this class from the main Shell class.
4414 4420
4415 4421 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4416 4422 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4417 4423 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4418 4424 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4419 4425 option).
4420 4426
4421 4427 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4422 4428 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4423 4429 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4424 4430 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4425 4431 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4426 4432
4427 4433 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4428 4434 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4429 4435 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4430 4436
4431 4437 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4432 4438 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4433 4439 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4434 4440 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4435 4441 tracebacks.
4436 4442
4437 4443 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4438 4444 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4439 4445 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4440 4446
4441 4447 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4442 4448
4443 4449 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4444 4450 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4445 4451 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4446 4452 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4447 4453
4448 4454 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4455
4450 4456 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4451 4457 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4452 4458 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4453 4459 for the bug report.
4454 4460
4455 4461 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4456 4462
4457 4463 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4458 4464 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4459 4465 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4460 4466 report.
4461 4467
4462 4468 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4463 4469
4464 4470 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4465 4471 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4466 4472 end).
4467 4473
4468 4474 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4469 4475 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4470 4476 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4471 4477
4472 4478 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4473 4479
4474 4480 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4475 4481 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4476 4482 for the patch.
4477 4483
4478 4484 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4479 4485
4480 4486 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4481 4487 functions.
4482 4488
4483 4489 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4484 4490
4485 4491 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4486 4492
4487 4493 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4488 4494 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4489 4495 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4490 4496 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4491 4497 private fix.
4492 4498
4493 4499 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4494 4500 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4495 4501 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4496 4502 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4497 4503 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4498 4504 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4499 4505 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4500 4506 fixed for this setup.
4501 4507
4502 4508 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4503 4509 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4504 4510
4505 4511 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4506 4512
4507 4513 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4508 4514
4509 4515 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4510 4516 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4511 4517 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4512 4518 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4513 4519 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4514 4520 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4515 4521 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4516 4522 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4517 4523 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4518 4524
4519 4525 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4520 4526 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4521 4527 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4522 4528
4523 4529 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4524 4530
4525 4531 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4526 4532
4527 4533 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4528 4534 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4529 4535 pickle-related issue in @run).
4530 4536
4531 4537 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4538
4533 4539 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4534 4540 the autocall option at runtime.
4535 4541 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4536 4542 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4537 4543 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4538 4544 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4539 4545 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4540 4546 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4541 4547 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4542 4548 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4543 4549 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4544 4550 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4545 4551 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4546 4552 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4547 4553 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4548 4554 pickles to save something sensible.
4549 4555
4550 4556 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4551 4557
4552 4558 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4553 4559 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4554 4560 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4555 4561
4556 4562 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4557 4563
4558 4564 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4559 4565 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4560 4566
4561 4567 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4562 4568
4563 4569 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4564 4570 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4565 4571 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4566 4572 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4567 4573
4568 4574 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4569 4575
4570 4576 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4571 4577 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4572 4578 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4573 4579 array is non-contiguous.
4574 4580
4575 4581 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4576 4582
4577 4583 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4578 4584 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4579 4585 executed).
4580 4586 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4581 4587 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4582 4588 output.
4583 4589 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4584 4590 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4585 4591 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4586 4592 changing.
4587 4593
4588 4594 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4589 4595
4590 4596 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4591 4597
4592 4598 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4593 4599 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4594 4600 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4595 4601 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4596 4602 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4597 4603 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4598 4604 like a normal command-line.
4599 4605
4600 4606 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4601 4607 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4602 4608 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4603 4609 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4604 4610
4605 4611 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4606 4612
4607 4613 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4608 4614 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4609 4615 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4610 4616 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4611 4617
4612 4618 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4613 4619
4614 4620 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4615 4621 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4616 4622 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4617 4623 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4618 4624 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4619 4625 think it's worth doing.
4620 4626
4621 4627 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50

4623 4629 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4624 4630
4625 4631 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4626 4632 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4627 4633
4628 4634 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4629 4635 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4630 4636 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4631 4637 also work ok.
4632 4638
4633 4639 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4634 4640
4635 4641 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4642
4637 4643 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4638 4644
4639 4645 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4640 4646 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4641 4647 of gnuplot data files.
4642 4648
4643 4649 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4644 4650
4645 4651 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4646 4652 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4647 4653
4648 4654 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4649 4655
4650 4656 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4651 4657 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4652 4658 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4653 4659 for pointing this out.
4654 4660
4655 4661 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4656 4662
4657 4663 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4658 4664
4659 4665 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4660 4666 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4661 4667 Interactive.
4662 4668
4663 4669 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4664 4670 being imported from iplib.
4665 4671
4666 4672 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4667 4673 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4668 4674 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4669 4675 common name.
4670 4676
4671 4677 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4672 4678 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4673 4679
4674 4680 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4675 4681 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4676 4682
4677 4683 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4678 4684 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4679 4685 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4680 4686 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4681 4687 docstrings).
4682 4688
4683 4689 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4684 4690
4685 4691 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4686 4692 (inconsistent with options).
4687 4693
4688 4694 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4689 4695 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4690 4696 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4691 4697 eps output.
4692 4698
4693 4699 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4700
4695 4701 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4696 4702 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4697 4703 Pinard.
4698 4704
4699 4705 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4700 4706
4701 4707 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4702 4708 history file for new users.
4703 4709 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4704 4710 user running in the .ipython dir.
4705 4711 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4706 4712 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4707 4713 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4708 4714
4709 4715 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4710 4716 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4711 4717 consistently.
4712 4718
4713 4719 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4714 4720 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4715 4721 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4716 4722 libraries I don't have access to.
4717 4723
4718 4724 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4719 4725 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4720 4726 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4721 4727 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4722 4728 report.
4723 4729
4724 4730 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4725 4731
4726 4732 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4727 4733 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4728 4734 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4729 4735 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4730 4736
4731 4737 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4732 4738
4733 4739 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4734 4740 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4735 4741 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4736 4742 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4737 4743 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4738 4744 instance has been created.
4739 4745
4740 4746 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4741 4747 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4742 4748 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4743 4749 dict by hand.
4744 4750
4745 4751 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4746 4752
4747 4753 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4748 4754 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4749 4755 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4750 4756 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4751 4757 broken.
4752 4758
4753 4759 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4754 4760 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4755 4761 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4756 4762 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4757 4763
4758 4764 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4759 4765 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4760 4766 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4761 4767 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4762 4768 is a valid one.
4763 4769
4764 4770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4765 4771 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4766 4772 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4767 4773
4768 4774 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4769 4775 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4770 4776 simply leftover junk.
4771 4777
4772 4778 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4779
4774 4780 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4775 4781 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4776 4782 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4777 4783
4778 4784 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4779 4785 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4780 4786 exceptions.
4781 4787
4782 4788 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4783 4789
4784 4790 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4785 4791 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4786 4792 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4787 4793 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4788 4794 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4789 4795
4790 4796 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4791 4797 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4792 4798
4793 4799 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4794 4800 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4795 4801 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4796 4802 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4797 4803 problem mentioned below.
4798 4804
4799 4805 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4800 4806
4801 4807 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4802 4808 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4803 4809
4804 4810 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4805 4811 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4806 4812 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4807 4813 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4808 4814 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4809 4815
4810 4816 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4811 4817 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4812 4818 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4813 4819 actual function names.
4814 4820
4815 4821 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4816 4822 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4817 4823 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4818 4824 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4819 4825 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4820 4826 really be only function/method names.
4821 4827
4822 4828 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4823 4829
4824 4830 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4825 4831 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4826 4832 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4827 4833
4828 4834 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4829 4835
4830 4836 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4831 4837 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4832 4838 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4833 4839
4834 4840 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4835 4841 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4836 4842
4837 4843 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4838 4844 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4839 4845 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4840 4846
4841 4847 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4842 4848 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4843 4849 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4844 4850
4845 4851 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4846 4852 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4847 4853 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4848 4854
4849 4855 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4850 4856
4851 4857 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4852 4858 Gnuplot.File objects.
4853 4859
4854 4860 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4855 4861
4856 4862 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4857 4863 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4858 4864 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4859 4865
4860 4866 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4861 4867
4862 4868 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4863 4869 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4864 4870
4865 4871 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4866 4872 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4867 4873
4868 4874 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4869 4875 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4870 4876
4871 4877 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4872 4878
4873 4879 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4874 4880 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4875 4881 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4876 4882 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4877 4883
4878 4884 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4879 4885
4880 4886 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4881 4887 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4882 4888 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4883 4889
4884 4890 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4885 4891
4886 4892 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4887 4893 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4888 4894 workaround).
4889 4895
4890 4896 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4891 4897
4892 4898 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4893 4899 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4894 4900
4895 4901 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4896 4902
4897 4903 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4898 4904 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4899 4905
4900 4906 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4901 4907 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4902 4908 .strip() is called on it.
4903 4909
4904 4910
4905 4911 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4906 4912
4907 4913 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4908 4914 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4909 4915 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4910 4916
4911 4917 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4912 4918 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4913 4919
4914 4920 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4915 4921 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4916 4922 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4917 4923
4918 4924 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4919 4925
4920 4926 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4921 4927 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4922 4928 __main__.
4923 4929
4924 4930 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4925 4931 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4926 4932
4927 4933 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4928 4934 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4929 4935 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4930 4936 Mathematica behaves.
4931 4937
4932 4938 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4933 4939
4934 4940 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4935 4941 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4936 4942
4937 4943 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4938 4944 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4939 4945 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4940 4946
4941 4947 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4942 4948 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4943 4949
4944 4950 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4945 4951
4946 4952 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4947 4953 underflow problems in Numeric.
4948 4954 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4949 4955 for exact integer powers of 2.
4950 4956
4951 4957 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4952 4958 properly.
4953 4959
4954 4960 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4955 4961
4956 4962 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4957 4963 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4958 4964
4959 4965 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4960 4966
4961 4967 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4962 4968 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4963 4969
4964 4970 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4965 4971
4966 4972 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4967 4973 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4968 4974 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4969 4975 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4970 4976 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4971 4977 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4972 4978 times).
4973 4979
4974 4980 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4975 4981 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4976 4982 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4977 4983
4978 4984 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4979 4985
4980 4986 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4981 4987 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4982 4988 embedded code.
4983 4989
4984 4990 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4985 4991 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4986 4992 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4987 4993
4988 4994 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4989 4995 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4990 4996 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4991 4997 less special-casing to remember.
4992 4998
4993 4999 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4994 5000
4995 5001 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4996 5002 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4997 5003 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4998 5004 arg is not a defined object.
4999 5005 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5000 5006 a Mike Heeter idea.
5001 5007
5002 5008 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5003 5009 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5004 5010 interactive use.
5005 5011
5006 5012 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5007 5013 filenames.
5008 5014
5009 5015 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5016
5011 5017 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5012 5018 initialization via another struct.
5013 5019
5014 5020 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5015 5021 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5016 5022
5017 5023 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5018 5024
5019 5025 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5020 5026 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5021 5027 too big).
5022 5028
5023 5029 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5024 5030
5025 5031 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5026 5032 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5027 5033 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5028 5034 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5029 5035
5030 5036 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5031 5037
5032 5038 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5033 5039 macros having broken.
5034 5040
5035 5041 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5036 5042
5037 5043 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5038 5044 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5039 5045 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5040 5046 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5041 5047 not to lists.
5042 5048
5043 5049 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5044 5050
5045 5051 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5046 5052 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5047 5053 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5048 5054
5049 5055 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5050 5056 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5051 5057
5052 5058 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5053 5059 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5054 5060 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5055 5061
5056 5062 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5057 5063 triple-quoted strings.
5058 5064
5059 5065 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5060 5066 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5061 5067 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5062 5068 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5063 5069 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5064 5070 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5065 5071
5066 5072 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5067 5073
5068 5074 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5069 5075 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5070 5076 ultraTB).
5071 5077
5072 5078 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5073 5079
5074 5080 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5075 5081 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5076 5082 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5077 5083 user's 'g' variables).
5078 5084
5079 5085 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5080 5086 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5081 5087 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5082 5088 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5083 5089 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5084 5090 macros.
5085 5091
5086 5092 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5087 5093
5088 5094 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5089 5095 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5090 5096
5091 5097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5092 5098 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5093 5099 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5094 5100
5095 5101 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5096 5102
5097 5103 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5098 5104 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5099 5105 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5100 5106 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5101 5107 aliases.
5102 5108
5103 5109 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5104 5110
5105 5111 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5106 5112 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5107 5113 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5108 5114 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5109 5115
5110 5116 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5111 5117
5112 5118 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5113 5119 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5114 5120 user-defined functions overrode them.
5115 5121
5116 5122 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5117 5123
5118 5124 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5119 5125 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5120 5126
5121 5127 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5128
5123 5129 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5124 5130 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5125 5131 IPython.
5126 5132
5127 5133 * Released 0.2.13
5128 5134
5129 5135 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5130 5136 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5131 5137 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5132 5138 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5133 5139
5134 5140 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5135 5141
5136 5142 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5137 5143 magic properly formatted for screen.
5138 5144
5139 5145 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5140 5146 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5141 5147
5142 5148 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5143 5149 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5144 5150 etc.)
5145 5151
5146 5152 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5147 5153
5148 5154 * Released 0.2.12
5149 5155
5150 5156 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5151 5157
5152 5158 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5153 5159 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5154 5160 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5155 5161 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5156 5162 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5157 5163 an alias to @run -i.
5158 5164
5159 5165 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5160 5166 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5161 5167
5162 5168 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5163 5169
5164 5170 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5165 5171 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5166 5172 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5167 5173
5168 5174 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5169 5175 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5170 5176 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5171 5177 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5172 5178 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5173 5179 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5174 5180 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5175 5181
5176 5182 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5183
5178 5184 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5179 5185 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5180 5186 printed).
5181 5187
5182 5188 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5183 5189 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5184 5190 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5185 5191
5186 5192 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5187 5193 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5188 5194
5189 5195 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5190 5196 handle magic commands in them.
5191 5197 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5192 5198 ~/mylog' now works.
5193 5199
5194 5200 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5195 5201 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5196 5202
5197 5203 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5198 5204
5199 5205 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5200 5206 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5201 5207
5202 5208 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5203 5209 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5204 5210 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5205 5211 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5206 5212 variables are in the context of an exception.
5207 5213 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5208 5214 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5209 5215
5210 5216 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5211 5217 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5212 5218
5213 5219 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5214 5220
5215 5221 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5216 5222 magics can parse options easier.
5217 5223 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5218 5224 suggested by Chris Hart.
5219 5225 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5220 5226 directory actually is in history.
5221 5227
5222 5228 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5223 5229 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5224 5230 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5225 5231
5226 5232 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5227 5233 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5228 5234 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5229 5235 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5230 5236
5231 5237 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5232 5238
5233 5239 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5234 5240 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5235 5241
5236 5242 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5237 5243 text (was a bug).
5238 5244
5239 5245 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5246
5241 5247 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5242 5248 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5243 5249 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5244 5250
5245 5251 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5246 5252
5247 5253 * Released 0.2.10
5248 5254
5249 5255 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5250 5256
5251 5257 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5252 5258 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5253 5259
5254 5260 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5255 5261
5256 5262 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5257 5263 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5258 5264
5259 5265 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5260 5266
5261 5267 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5262 5268 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5263 5269 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5264 5270 __init__.py)
5265 5271
5266 5272 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5267 5273
5268 5274 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5269 5275 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5270 5276 test for being inside IPython.
5271 5277
5272 5278 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5273 5279 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5274 5280 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5275 5281 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5276 5282
5277 5283 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5278 5284
5279 5285 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5280 5286 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5281 5287 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5282 5288
5283 5289 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5284 5290 embedding example to standard user directory for
5285 5291 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5286 5292
5287 5293 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5288 5294 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5289 5295 hidden global).
5290 5296
5291 5297 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5292 5298 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5293 5299 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5294 5300 case.
5295 5301
5296 5302 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5297 5303
5298 5304 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5299 5305 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5300 5306 start.
5301 5307
5302 5308 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5303 5309 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5304 5310 Numeric or math.
5305 5311
5306 5312 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5307 5313 provided profiles. Now we have:
5308 5314 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5309 5315 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5310 5316 -physics -> same as before
5311 5317
5312 5318 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5313 5319 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5314 5320 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5315 5321 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5316 5322 string adds).
5317 5323
5318 5324 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5319 5325 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5320 5326 line with the gnuplot code).
5321 5327
5322 5328 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5329
5324 5330 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5325 5331 all included files change.
5326 5332
5327 5333 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5328 5334 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5329 5335
5330 5336 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5331 5337 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5332 5338 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5333 5339
5334 5340 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5335 5341 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5336 5342
5337 5343 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5338 5344 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5339 5345
5340 5346 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5341 5347 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5342 5348 now accessible.
5343 5349
5344 5350 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5345 5351 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5346 5352 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5347 5353 removed.
5348 5354 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5349 5355 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5350 5356 don't crash.
5351 5357 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5352 5358 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5353 5359 remains available.
5354 5360
5355 5361 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5356 5362
5357 5363 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5358 5364
5359 5365 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5360 5366
5361 5367 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5362 5368 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5363 5369 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5364 5370 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5365 5371
5366 5372 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5367 5373
5368 5374 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5369 5375 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5370 5376 sync with the output counter.
5371 5377
5372 5378 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5373 5379 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5374 5380
5375 5381 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5376 5382
5377 5383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5378 5384 readline, fix it back after each call.
5379 5385
5380 5386 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5381 5387 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5382 5388 traceback references are properly deleted.
5383 5389
5384 5390 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5385 5391 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5386 5392
5387 5393 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5388 5394
5389 5395 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5390 5396 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5391 5397 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5392 5398 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5393 5399 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5394 5400 to catch SystemExit).
5395 5401
5396 5402 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5397 5403 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5398 5404 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5399 5405 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5400 5406 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5401 5407 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5402 5408
5403 5409 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5404 5410
5405 5411 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5406 5412 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5407 5413 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5408 5414
5409 5415 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5410 5416 configurable (it should have always been so).
5411 5417
5412 5418 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5413 5419
5414 5420 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5415 5421 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5416 5422 done in a more elegant way.
5417 5423
5418 5424 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5419 5425
5420 5426 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5421 5427 win9x also.
5422 5428
5423 5429 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5424 5430
5425 5431 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5426 5432 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5427 5433
5428 5434 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5429 5435
5430 5436 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5431 5437
5432 5438 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5433 5439 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5434 5440
5435 5441 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5436 5442 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5437 5443
5438 5444 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5439 5445 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5440 5446
5441 5447 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5442 5448 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5443 5449
5444 5450 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5445 5451
5446 5452 * Released 0.2.8
5447 5453
5448 5454 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5449 5455 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5450 5456 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5451 5457 on' so that the first tab completes.
5452 5458 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5453 5459 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5454 5460
5455 5461 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5456 5462 installation.
5457 5463
5458 5464 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5459 5465 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5460 5466
5461 5467 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5462 5468
5463 5469 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5464 5470 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5465 5471 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5466 5472
5467 5473 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5468 5474 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5469 5475
5470 5476 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5471 5477 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5472 5478 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5473 5479 suggestion.
5474 5480
5475 5481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5476 5482 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5477 5483 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5478 5484
5479 5485 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5480 5486 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5481 5487
5482 5488 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5483 5489
5484 5490 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5485 5491 which properly handles things for windows users.
5486 5492
5487 5493 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5488 5494
5489 5495 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5490 5496 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5491 5497 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5492 5498 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5493 5499 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5494 5500
5495 5501 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5496 5502
5497 5503 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5498 5504
5499 5505 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5500 5506 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5501 5507
5502 5508 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5503 5509
5504 5510 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5505 5511 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5506 5512 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5507 5513 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5508 5514 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5509 5515 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5510 5516
5511 5517 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5512 5518
5513 5519 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5514 5520 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5515 5521
5516 5522 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5517 5523 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5518 5524 cache at 20 values.
5519 5525
5520 5526 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5521 5527 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5522 5528 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5523 5529 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5524 5530
5525 5531 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5526 5532 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5527 5533 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5528 5534 'file show').
5529 5535
5530 5536 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5531 5537 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5532 5538
5533 5539 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5534 5540 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5535 5541 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5536 5542
5537 5543 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5538 5544 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5539 5545 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5540 5546 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5541 5547
5542 5548 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5543 5549 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5544 5550 the prompt strings.
5545 5551
5546 5552 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5547 5553
5548 5554 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5549 5555 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5550 5556
5551 5557 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5552 5558 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5553 5559 either globally or at each call.
5554 5560
5555 5561 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5556 5562 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5557 5563 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5558 5564 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5559 5565
5560 5566 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5561 5567
5562 5568 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5563 5569 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5564 5570
5565 5571 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5566 5572
5567 5573 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5568 5574 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5569 5575 learning some lisp...
5570 5576
5571 5577 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5572 5578
5573 5579 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5574 5580 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5575 5581 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5576 5582 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5577 5583
5578 5584 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5579 5585 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5580 5586 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5581 5587
5582 5588 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5583 5589
5584 5590 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5585 5591 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5586 5592 control to emacs users.
5587 5593
5588 5594 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5589 5595 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5590 5596 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5591 5597 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5592 5598 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5593 5599 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5594 5600
5595 5601 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5596 5602
5597 5603 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5598 5604
5599 5605 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5600 5606 @logstate magic was created.
5601 5607
5602 5608 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5603 5609 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5604 5610
5605 5611 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5606 5612
5607 5613 * Released 0.2.6.
5608 5614
5609 5615 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5610 5616 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5611 5617
5612 5618 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5613 5619 SciPy.
5614 5620
5615 5621 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5616 5622 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5617 5623 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5618 5624 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5619 5625 the section on embedding and the example file.
5620 5626
5621 5627 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5622 5628 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5623 5629 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5624 5630
5625 5631 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5626 5632 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5627 5633 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5628 5634
5629 5635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5630 5636 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5631 5637 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5632 5638 for this to work.
5633 5639
5634 5640 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5635 5641
5636 5642 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5637 5643 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5638 5644 well inside Emacs buffers.
5639 5645 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5640 5646 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5641 5647 same bug in iplib.
5642 5648
5643 5649 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5644 5650
5645 5651 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5646 5652 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5647 5653
5648 5654 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5649 5655 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5650 5656 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5651 5657
5652 5658 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5653 5659 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5654 5660 display is done.
5655 5661
5656 5662 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5657 5663 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5658 5664
5659 5665 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5660 5666 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5661 5667 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5662 5668 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5663 5669 like in Octave.
5664 5670
5665 5671 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5666 5672 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5667 5673
5668 5674 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5669 5675
5670 5676 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5671 5677 whole file a little.
5672 5678
5673 5679 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5674 5680 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5675 5681 end-user distro.
5676 5682
5677 5683 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5678 5684 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5679 5685 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5680 5686
5681 5687 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5682 5688 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5683 5689
5684 5690 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5685 5691 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5686 5692 for @file.
5687 5693
5688 5694 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5689 5695 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5690 5696 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5691 5697 the code a bit easier.
5692 5698
5693 5699 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5694 5700 information to crash reports.
5695 5701
5696 5702 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5697 5703
5698 5704 * Released 0.2.5.
5699 5705
5700 5706 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5701 5707
5702 5708 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5703 5709 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5704 5710 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5705 5711
5706 5712 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5707 5713
5708 5714 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5709 5715 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5710 5716 have thigs work as expected.
5711 5717
5712 5718 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5713 5719 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5714 5720 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5715 5721 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5716 5722 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5717 5723
5718 5724 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5719 5725 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5720 5726
5721 5727 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5722 5728
5723 5729 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5724 5730 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5725 5731
5726 5732 * README and manual updates.
5727 5733
5728 5734 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5729 5735 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5730 5736
5731 5737 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5732 5738 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5733 5739
5734 5740 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5735 5741 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5736 5742 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5737 5743 extension-less files.
5738 5744
5739 5745 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5740 5746 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5741 5747 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5742 5748
5743 5749 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5744 5750 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5745 5751
5746 5752 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5747 5753 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5748 5754 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5749 5755 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5750 5756 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5751 5757 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5752 5758 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5753 5759 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5754 5760 least make manually a shortcut.
5755 5761
5756 5762 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5757 5763 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5758 5764 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5759 5765 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5760 5766 runtime, with @colors.
5761 5767 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5762 5768 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5763 5769
5764 5770 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5765 5771
5766 5772 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5767 5773 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5768 5774 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5769 5775 read the startup info.
5770 5776
5771 5777 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5772 5778
5773 5779 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5774 5780 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5775 5781 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5776 5782 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5777 5783 type the better off we are.
5778 5784 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5779 5785 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5780 5786 before.
5781 5787
5782 5788 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5783 5789
5784 5790 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5785 5791 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5786 5792 this later.
5787 5793
5788 5794 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5789 5795
5790 5796 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5791 5797 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5792 5798 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5793 5799
5794 5800 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5795 5801
5796 5802 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5797 5803 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5798 5804 spitting out only offset information as before.
5799 5805 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5800 5806 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5801 5807
5802 5808 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5803 5809
5804 5810 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5805 5811 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5806 5812 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5807 5813 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5808 5814 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5809 5815 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5810 5816 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5811 5817 macros.
5812 5818
5813 5819 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5814 5820
5815 5821 * Released 0.2.4.
5816 5822
5817 5823 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5818 5824 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5819 5825 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5820 5826 re-execution.
5821 5827
5822 5828 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5823 5829
5824 5830 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5825 5831 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5826 5832 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5827 5833 documented, of course :)
5828 5834 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5829 5835 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5830 5836 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5831 5837
5832 5838 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5833 5839
5834 5840 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5835 5841 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5836 5842 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5837 5843
5838 5844 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5839 5845
5840 5846 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5841 5847 so I wanted an updated release).
5842 5848
5843 5849 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5844 5850
5845 5851 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5846 5852 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5847 5853 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5848 5854 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5849 5855 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5850 5856
5851 5857 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5852 5858
5853 5859 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5854 5860 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5855 5861
5856 5862 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5857 5863
5858 5864 * Released 0.2.2.
5859 5865
5860 5866 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5861 5867 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5862 5868 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5863 5869 versions.
5864 5870
5865 5871 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5866 5872 (MayaVi author).
5867 5873
5868 5874 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5869 5875
5870 5876 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5871 5877 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5872 5878 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5873 5879 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5874 5880 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5875 5881
5876 5882 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5877 5883 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5878 5884
5879 5885 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5880 5886
5881 5887 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5882 5888 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5883 5889 nice, full-blown manual.
5884 5890
5885 5891 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5886 5892 trivially simple for end-users.
5887 5893
5888 5894 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5889 5895
5890 5896 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5891 5897 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5892 5898
5893 5899 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5894 5900 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5895 5901
5896 5902 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5897 5903
5898 5904 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5899 5905 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5900 5906 people to later upgrade versions.
5901 5907
5902 5908 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5903 5909 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5904 5910 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5905 5911 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5906 5912 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5907 5913 SystemExit).
5908 5914
5909 5915 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5910 5916 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5911 5917 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5912 5918 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5913 5919 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5914 5920
5915 5921 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5916 5922 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5917 5923 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5918 5924
5919 5925 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5920 5926
5921 5927 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5922 5928 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5923 5929
5924 5930 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5925 5931 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5926 5932 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5927 5933 html docs out of it will be found).
5928 5934
5929 5935 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5930 5936
5931 5937 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5932 5938 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5933 5939
5934 5940 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5935 5941
5936 5942 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5937 5943 visiting any directory in _dh.
5938 5944
5939 5945 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5940 5946 it out with numbers.
5941 5947
5942 5948 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5943 5949
5944 5950 * Released 0.1.22
5945 5951
5946 5952 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5947 5953 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5948 5954
5949 5955 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5950 5956 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5951 5957 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5952 5958 screen the necessary mail command.
5953 5959
5954 5960 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5955 5961 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5956 5962 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5957 5963
5958 5964 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5959 5965
5960 5966 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5961 5967 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5962 5968 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5963 5969 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5964 5970 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5965 5971 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5966 5972 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5967 5973 its name).
5968 5974
5969 5975 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5970 5976 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5971 5977 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5972 5978 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5973 5979
5974 5980 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5975 5981
5976 5982 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5977 5983 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5978 5984
5979 5985 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5980 5986 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5981 5987
5982 5988 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5983 5989 completion of @-starting lines.
5984 5990
5985 5991 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5986 5992 info that other files can read from.
5987 5993
5988 5994 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5989 5995 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5990 5996 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5991 5997 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5992 5998 restores produce less errors.
5993 5999
5994 6000 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5995 6001 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5996 6002 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5997 6003 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5998 6004 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5999 6005
6000 6006 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6001 6007 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6002 6008 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6003 6009 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6004 6010 with this, finally...
6005 6011
6006 6012 * Small documentation updates.
6007 6013
6008 6014 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6009 6015 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6010 6016 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6011 6017
6012 6018 * File renaming:
6013 6019 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6014 6020 ipplib --> iplib
6015 6021 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6016 6022
6017 6023 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6018 6024 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6019 6025 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6020 6026
6021 6027 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6022 6028 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6023 6029 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6024 6030
6025 6031 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6026 6032
6027 6033 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6028 6034 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6029 6035 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6030 6036 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6031 6037
6032 6038 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6033 6039 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6034 6040 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6035 6041
6036 6042 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6037 6043 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6038 6044 road.
6039 6045
6040 6046 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6041 6047 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6042 6048 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6043 6049 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6044 6050
6045 6051 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6046 6052
6047 6053 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6048 6054 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6049 6055 file accordingly.
6050 6056
6051 6057 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6052 6058 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6053 6059 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6054 6060 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6055 6061 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6056 6062 separators and proper padding and justification.
6057 6063
6058 6064 * Released 0.1.20
6059 6065
6060 6066 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6061 6067 copy operation was missing).
6062 6068
6063 6069 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6064 6070 its output is always quite long.
6065 6071
6066 6072 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6067 6073 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6068 6074 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6069 6075 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6070 6076
6071 6077 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6072 6078 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6073 6079 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6074 6080 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6075 6081
6076 6082 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6077 6083
6078 6084 * Released 0.1.19
6079 6085
6080 6086 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6081 6087 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6082 6088
6083 6089 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6084 6090 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6085 6091 comment on 'macros').
6086 6092
6087 6093 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6088 6094
6089 6095 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6090 6096 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6091 6097 statements and takes parameters.
6092 6098
6093 6099 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6094 6100
6095 6101 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6096 6102
6097 6103 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6098 6104
6099 6105 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6100 6106 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6101 6107
6102 6108 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6103 6109 ipythonrc-* samples.
6104 6110
6105 6111 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6106 6112 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6107 6113
6108 6114 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6109 6115 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6110 6116
6111 6117 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6112 6118
6113 6119 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6114 6120 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6115 6121 convention.
6116 6122
6117 6123 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6118 6124 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6119 6125
6120 6126 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6121 6127
6122 6128 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6123 6129 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6124 6130
6125 6131 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6126 6132 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6127 6133 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6128 6134 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6129 6135 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6130 6136 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6131 6137 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6132 6138 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6133 6139 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6134 6140 works.
6135 6141
6136 6142 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6137 6143
6138 6144 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6139 6145 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6140 6146 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6141 6147 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6142 6148 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6143 6149 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6144 6150 all the editors, less does that.
6145 6151
6146 6152 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6147 6153
6148 6154 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6149 6155 crash IPython.
6150 6156
6151 6157 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6152 6158
6153 6159 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6154 6160
6155 6161 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6156 6162 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6157 6163 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6158 6164 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6159 6165 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6160 6166 work in _ofind.
6161 6167
6162 6168 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6163 6169 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6164 6170 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6165 6171 (famous last words).
6166 6172
6167 6173 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6168 6174 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6169 6175 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6170 6176 windows).
6171 6177
6172 6178 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6173 6179 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6174 6180
6175 6181 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6176 6182 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6177 6183 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6178 6184 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6179 6185
6180 6186 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6181 6187 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6182 6188 licences and announce it.
6183 6189
6184 6190 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6185 6191 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6186 6192 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6187 6193 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6188 6194
6189 6195 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6190 6196
6191 6197 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6192 6198 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6193 6199 lists.
6194 6200
6195 6201 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6196 6202 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6197 6203 are ok.
6198 6204
6199 6205 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6200 6206 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6201 6207
6202 6208 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6203 6209 this to Nathan.
6204 6210
6205 6211 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6206 6212
6207 6213 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6208 6214 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6209 6215 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6210 6216
6211 6217 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6212 6218 accepted). Cleaner.
6213 6219
6214 6220 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6215 6221 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6216 6222 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6217 6223 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6218 6224 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6219 6225
6220 6226 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6221 6227
6222 6228 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6223 6229 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6224 6230 history after a log replay.
6225 6231
6226 6232 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6227 6233 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6228 6234 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6229 6235 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6230 6236 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6231 6237 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6232 6238
6233 6239 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6234 6240 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6235 6241 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6236 6242 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6237 6243 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6238 6244
6239 6245 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6240 6246
6241 6247 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6242 6248 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6243 6249 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6244 6250 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6245 6251 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6246 6252 one: cache_size.
6247 6253
6248 6254 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6249 6255 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6250 6256 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6251 6257 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6252 6258
6253 6259 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6254 6260 @ or not).
6255 6261
6256 6262 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6257 6263 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6258 6264 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6259 6265 about licensing).
6260 6266
6261 6267 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6262 6268
6263 6269 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6264 6270 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6265 6271
6266 6272 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6267 6273 screen size for page() operations.
6268 6274
6269 6275 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6270 6276 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6271 6277 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6272 6278 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6273 6279
6274 6280 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6275 6281 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6276 6282 option name tables are clearer.
6277 6283
6278 6284 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6279 6285 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6280 6286 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6281 6287 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6282 6288 was also changed a little to align better.
6283 6289
6284 6290 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6285 6291 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6286 6292
6287 6293 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6288 6294 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6289 6295 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6290 6296
6291 6297 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6292 6298 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6293 6299 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6294 6300 he needs it.
6295 6301
6296 6302 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6297 6303
6298 6304 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6299 6305 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6300 6306 warning on it.
6301 6307
6302 6308 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6303 6309 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6304 6310 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6305 6311 was too long).
6306 6312
6307 6313 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6308 6314 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6309 6315 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6310 6316
6311 6317 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6312 6318 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6313 6319 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6314 6320 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6315 6321 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6316 6322 function for the same task.
6317 6323
6318 6324 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6319 6325
6320 6326 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6321 6327
6322 6328 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6323 6329 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6324 6330 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6325 6331
6326 6332 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6327 6333 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6328 6334 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6329 6335
6330 6336 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6331 6337 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6332 6338 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6333 6339
6334 6340 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6335 6341
6336 6342 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6337 6343
6338 6344 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6339 6345 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6340 6346 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6341 6347
6342 6348 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6343 6349
6344 6350 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6345 6351
6346 6352 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6347 6353
6348 6354 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6349 6355 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6350 6356 maintain.
6351 6357
6352 6358 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6353 6359 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6354 6360 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6355 6361 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6356 6362 compiled and startup is much faster.
6357 6363
6358 6364 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6359 6365 while without messing too much more with the code.
6360 6366
6361 6367 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6362 6368
6363 6369 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6364 6370
6365 6371 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6366 6372 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6367 6373 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6368 6374
6369 6375 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6370 6376 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6371 6377
6372 6378 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6373 6379 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6374 6380 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6375 6381 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6376 6382 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6377 6383 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6378 6384
6379 6385 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6380 6386 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6381 6387
6382 6388 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6383 6389 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6384 6390
6385 6391 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6386 6392 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6387 6393 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6388 6394 excessive.
6389 6395
6390 6396 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6391 6397 types (only first word was displayed).
6392 6398
6393 6399 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6394 6400
6395 6401 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6396 6402
6397 6403 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6398 6404 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6399 6405 travel along many directories.
6400 6406
6401 6407 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6402 6408 arguments with default values.
6403 6409
6404 6410 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6405 6411
6406 6412 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6407 6413 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6408 6414
6409 6415 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6410 6416
6411 6417 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6412 6418 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6413 6419 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6414 6420
6415 6421 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6416 6422
6417 6423 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6418 6424 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6419 6425 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6420 6426 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6421 6427 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6422 6428 purposes.
6423 6429
6424 6430 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6425 6431 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6426 6432 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6427 6433 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6428 6434 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6429 6435 one can simply say
6430 6436 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6431 6437 or even
6432 6438 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6433 6439
6434 6440 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6435 6441 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6436 6442 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6437 6443
6438 6444 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6439 6445 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6440 6446 they were defined in
6441 6447
6442 6448 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6443 6449
6444 6450 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6445 6451 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6446 6452 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6447 6453 these to show the same information.
6448 6454
6449 6455 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6450 6456
6451 6457 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6452 6458 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6453 6459 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6454 6460 backtracked on the whole class!)
6455 6461
6456 6462 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6457 6463 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6458 6464 everything works as before).
6459 6465
6460 6466 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6461 6467 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6462 6468 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6463 6469 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6464 6470
6465 6471 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6466 6472
6467 6473 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6468 6474
6469 6475 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6470 6476 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6471 6477
6472 6478 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6473 6479 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6474 6480 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6475 6481 this later.
6476 6482
6477 6483 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6478 6484
6479 6485 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6480 6486 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6481 6487 line option.
6482 6488
6483 6489 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6484 6490 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6485 6491 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6486 6492 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6487 6493 didn't return a result).
6488 6494
6489 6495 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6490 6496
6491 6497 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6492 6498
6493 6499 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6494 6500 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6495 6501 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6496 6502 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6497 6503
6498 6504 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6499 6505
6500 6506 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6501 6507
6502 6508 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6503 6509 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6504 6510
6505 6511 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6506 6512 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6507 6513 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6508 6514 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6509 6515 in with the next entry:
6510 6516
6511 6517 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6512 6518 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6513 6519 handling.
6514 6520
6515 6521 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6516 6522 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6517 6523 namespace protection and documentation.
6518 6524
6519 6525 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6520 6526
6521 6527 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6522 6528 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6523 6529
6524 6530 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6525 6531
6526 6532 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6527 6533
6528 6534 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6529 6535
6530 6536 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6531 6537 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6532 6538 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6533 6539 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6534 6540 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6535 6541
6536 6542 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6537 6543 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6538 6544 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6539 6545
6540 6546 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6541 6547
6542 6548 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6543 6549 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6544 6550
6545 6551 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6546 6552
6547 6553 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6548 6554
6549 6555 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6550 6556 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6551 6557 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6552 6558 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6553 6559 ScientificPython.
6554 6560
6555 6561 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6556 6562
6557 6563 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6558 6564 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6559 6565 when called with no args.
6560 6566
6561 6567 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6562 6568 closely.
6563 6569
6564 6570 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6565 6571 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6566 6572 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6567 6573 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6568 6574 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.

6571 6577
6572 6578 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6573 6579 customizations there and access them via import.
6574 6580
6575 6581 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6576 6582
6577 6583 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6578 6584
6579 6585 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6580 6586 Nathan and Janko.
6581 6587
6582 6588 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6583 6589
6584 6590 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6585 6591 too long.
6586 6592
6587 6593 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6588 6594
6589 6595 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6590 6596 ?sin and sin?
6591 6597 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6592 6598 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6593 6599 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6594 6600 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6595 6601
6596 6602 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6597 6603
6598 6604 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6599 6605
6600 6606 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6601 6607 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6602 6608
6603 6609 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6604 6610 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6605 6611 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6606 6612 me).
6607 6613
6608 6614 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6609 6615 protected (reasonably).
6610 6616
6611 6617 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6612 6618 note through it (it was too long).
6613 6619
6614 6620 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6615 6621 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6616 6622 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6617 6623 parameters.
6618 6624
6619 6625
6620 6626 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6621 6627
6622 6628 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6623 6629 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6624 6630 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6625 6631
6626 6632 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6627 6633 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6628 6634 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6629 6635
6630 6636 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6631 6637
6632 6638 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6633 6639
6634 6640 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6635 6641
6636 6642 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6637 6643 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6638 6644 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6639 6645 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6640 6646 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6641 6647 break.
6642 6648
6643 6649 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6644 6650 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6645 6651 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6646 6652 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6647 6653 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6648 6654 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6649 6655
6650 6656 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6651 6657 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6652 6658 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6653 6659 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6654 6660 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6655 6661 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6656 6662 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6657 6663 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6658 6664 trick.
6659 6665
6660 6666 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6661 6667 session restoring.
6662 6668
6663 6669 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6664 6670 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6665 6671 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6666 6672 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6667 6673 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6668 6674
6669 6675 * Started ChangeLog.
