3 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
4 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
5 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
6
1 7 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 8
3 9 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
4 10 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
5 11 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
6 12
7 13 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
8 14
9 15 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
10 16 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
11 17 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
12 18 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
13 19 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
14 20
15 21 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
16 22
17 23 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
18 24 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
19 25
20 26 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
21 27 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
22 28 details in comments left in the code.
23 29
24 30 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
25 31 similar to what we had for Numeric.
26 32
27 33 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
28 34 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
29 35 than readline. Closes #109.
30 36
31 37 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
32 38 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
33 39
34 40 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
35 41
36 42 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
37 43 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
38 44 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
39 45 ongoing Unicode support work.
40 46
41 47 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
42 48 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
43 49 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
44 50 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
45 51
46 52 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>

49 55 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
50 56
51 57 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
52 58
53 59 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
54 60 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
55 61 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
56 62
57 63 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
58 64
59 65 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
60 66 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
61 67 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
62 68 long definition lines for functions.
63 69
64 70 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
65 71
66 72 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
67 73 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
68 74 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
69 75 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
70 76
71 77 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
72 78
73 79 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
74 80
75 81 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
76 82
77 83 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
78 84 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
79 85 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
80 86
81 87 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
82 88 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
83 89
84 90 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
85 91 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.

89 95 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
90 96 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
91 97 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
92 98
93 99 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
94 100
95 101 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
96 102 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
97 103
98 104 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
99 105 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
100 106 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
101 107 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
102 108 sometimes return "" as last element.
103 109
104 110 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
105 111
106 112 * IPython/completer.py
107 113 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
108 114 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
109 115 would be completed too early.
110 116
111 117 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
112 118 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
113 119 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
114 120 backwards compatibility.
115 121
116 122 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
117 123 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
118 124 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
119 125 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
120 126 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
121 127 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
122 128 also works when debugging.
123 129
124 130 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
125 131 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
126 132
127 133 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
128 134 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
129 135 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
130 136
131 137 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
132 138 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
133 139 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
134 140
135 141 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
136 142 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
137 143
138 144 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
139 145
140 146 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
141 147 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
142 148 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
143 149
144 150 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
145 151
146 152 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
147 153 to be installed alongside igrid.
148 154 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
149 155 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
150 156 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
151 157
152 158 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
153 159
154 160 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
155 161 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
156 162 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
157 163
158 164 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
159 165
160 166 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
161 167 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
162 168
163 169 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
164 170 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
165 171
166 172 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
167 173
168 174 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
169 175 as the default browser.
170 176 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
171 177 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
172 178 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
173 179 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
174 180
175 181 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
176 182
177 183 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
178 184 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
179 185 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
180 186
181 187 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
182 188
183 189 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
184 190 Close help window if exiting igrid.
185 191
186 192 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
187 193
188 194 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
189 195 before calling functions from readline.
190 196
191 197 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
192 198
193 199 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
194 200 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
195 201 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
196 202 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
197 203 falls back to idump.
198 204
199 205 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
200 206
201 207 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
202 208 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
203 209 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
204 210 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
205 211
206 212 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
207 213
208 214 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
209 215 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
210 216 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
211 217 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
212 218 %magic with explicit % prefix.
213 219
214 220 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
215 221
216 222 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
217 223 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
218 224
219 225 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
220 226
221 227 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
222 228 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
223 229 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
224 230 one wants those instead.
225 231
226 232 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
227 233 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
228 234 instead.
229 235
230 236 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
231 237
232 238 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
233 239 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
234 240 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
235 241 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
236 242
237 243 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
238 244
239 245 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
240 246 stop marks.
241 247 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
242 248 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
243 249 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
244 250
245 251 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
246 252
247 253 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
248 254 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
249 255 sumbmitted to upstream.
250 256
251 257 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
252 258
253 259 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
254 260 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
255 261 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
256 262 running into an empty levels list later.
257 263
258 264 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
259 265
260 266 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
261 267 for the noitem object.
262 268
263 269 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
264 270
265 271 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
266 272 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
267 273 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
268 274 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
269 275
270 276 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
271 277
272 278 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
273 279 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
274 280 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
275 281 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
276 282 filenames.
277 283
278 284 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
279 285 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
280 286 out-of-process ipython code.
281 287
282 288 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
283 289 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
284 290 doctesting.
285 291
286 292 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
287 293
288 294 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
289 295
290 296 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
291 297 not being correctly recognized.
292 298
293 299 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
294 300
295 301 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
296 302 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
297 303 only item.
298 304
299 305 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
300 306 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
301 307 infinite recursion for one line strings).
302 308
303 309 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
304 310
305 311 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
306 312 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
307 313 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
308 314
309 315 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
310 316
311 317 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
312 318 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
313 319 "%env VISUAL=jed".
314 320
315 321 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
316 322
317 323 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
318 324 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
319 325 but I'm not exactly sure why).
320 326
321 327 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
322 328 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
323 329
324 330 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
325 331
326 332 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
327 333 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
328 334
329 335 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
330 336 the time during IPython startup is spent.
331 337
332 338 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
333 339
334 340 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
335 341
336 342 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
337 343
338 344 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
339 345
340 346 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
341 347
342 348 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
343 349 to work properly on posix too
344 350
345 351 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
346 352
347 353 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
348 354
349 355 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
350 356 prefix + "/scripts".
351 357
352 358 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
353 359
354 360 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
355 361
356 362 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
357 363 if they already exist
358 364
359 365 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
360 366
361 367 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
362 368
363 369 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
364 370
365 371 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
366 372
367 373 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
368 374 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
369 375 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
370 376
371 377 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
372 378
373 379 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
374 380 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
375 381 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
376 382
377 383 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
378 384 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
379 385 in ipy_user_conf.py
380 386
381 387
382 388 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
383 389 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
384 390 as IPython script.
385 391
386 392 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
387 393
388 394 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
389 395
390 396 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
391 397 is called before any exception has occurred.
392 398
393 399 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
394 400
395 401 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
396 402 to translate /'s to \'s again.
397 403
398 404 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
399 405 backslash.
400 406
401 407 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
402 408
403 409 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
404 410
405 411 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
406 412 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
407 413 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
408 414
409 415 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
410 416 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
411 417
412 418 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
413 419 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
414 420
415 421 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
416 422
417 423 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
418 424
419 425 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
420 426 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
421 427
422 428 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
423 429 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
424 430 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
425 431 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
426 432 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
427 433 mapped to "%" now.
428 434 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
429 435
430 436 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
431 437
432 438 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
433 439 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
434 440 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
435 441 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
436 442
437 443 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
438 444
439 445 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
440 446 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
441 447 for shell escapes.
442 448
443 449 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
444 450
445 451 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
446 452 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
447 453 vcs_completer.
448 454
449 455 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
450 456
451 457 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
452 458 directly instead!
453 459
454 460 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
455 461
456 462 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
457 463 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
458 464
459 465 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
460 466 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
461 467 explicit.
462 468
463 469 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
464 470 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
465 471
466 472 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
467 473
468 474 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
469 475
470 476 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
471 477 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
472 478 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
473 479 implementation for Text is useless.
474 480
475 481 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
476 482
477 483 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
478 484
479 485 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
480 486
481 487 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
482 488 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
483 489 "profile"
484 490
485 491 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
486 492
487 493 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
488 494 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
489 495
490 496 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
491 497 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
492 498
493 499
494 500 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
495 501 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
496 502 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
497 503
498 504 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
499 505
500 506 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
501 507 with one from UserConfig.
502 508
503 509 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
504 510 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
505 511
506 512 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
507 513 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
508 514 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
509 515
510 516 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
511 517
512 518 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
513 519
514 520 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
515 521
516 522 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
517 523
518 524 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
519 525
520 526 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
521 527
522 528 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
523 529
524 530 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
525 531
526 532 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
527 533 by eval of expr with dots.
528 534
529 535 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
530 536
531 537 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
532 538 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
533 539 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
534 540 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
535 541 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
536 542 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
537 543
538 544 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
539 545
540 546 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
541 547 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
542 548 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
543 549
544 550 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
545 551 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
546 552 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
547 553 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
548 554 funtionality in ipconfig.
549 555
550 556 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
551 557 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
552 558 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
553 559 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
554 560
555 561 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
556 562
557 563 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
558 564 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
559 565 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
560 566 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
561 567 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
562 568 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
563 569 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
564 570 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
565 571 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
566 572 descriptors.
567 573
568 574 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
569 575 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
570 576
571 577 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
572 578 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
573 579
574 580 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
575 581
576 582 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
577 583
578 584 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
579 585
580 586 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
581 587 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
582 588 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
583 589
584 590 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
585 591 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
586 592 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
587 593
588 594 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
589 595 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
590 596 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
591 597 ipy_stock_completers.
592 598
593 599 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
594 600
595 601 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
596 602
597 603 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
598 604 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
599 605 when filtering possible completions.
600 606
601 607 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
602 608
603 609 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
604 610 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
605 611 function
606 612
607 613
608 614 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
609 615
610 616 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
611 617 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
612 618 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
613 619 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
614 620 SVN completer.
615 621
616 622 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
617 623 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
618 624 name is %led.
619 625
620 626 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
621 627
622 628 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
623 629 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
624 630 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
625 631
626 632 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
627 633 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
628 634 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
629 635 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
630 636 hook name is 'complete_command'.
631 637
632 638 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
633 639
634 640 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
635 641 Numeric leftovers.
636 642
637 643 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
638 644 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
639 645
640 646 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
641 647 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
642 648
643 649 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
644 650 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
645 651
646 652 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
647 653 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
648 654 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
649 655
650 656 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
651 657
652 658 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
653 659 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
654 660 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
655 661
656 662 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
657 663 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
658 664
659 665 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
660 666
661 667 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
662 668 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
663 669 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
664 670
665 671 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
666 672
667 673 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
668 674 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
669 675 internal crash handler.
670 676
671 677 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
672 678 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
673 679 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
674 680 at the request of SAGE.
675 681
676 682 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
677 683
678 684 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
679 685 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
680 686
681 687 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
682 688 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
683 689 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
684 690 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
685 691
686 692 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
687 693 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
688 694 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
689 695
690 696 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
691 697
692 698 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
693 699 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
694 700 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
695 701
696 702 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
697 703 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
698 704
699 705 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
700 706
701 707 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
702 708 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
703 709 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
704 710 Stefan.
705 711
706 712 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
707 713
708 714 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
709 715 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
710 716 sys.stdout.close().
711 717
712 718 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
713 719
714 720 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
715 721 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
716 722 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
717 723 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
718 724
719 725 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
720 726 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
721 727 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
722 728
723 729 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
724 730 2.5.
725 731
726 732 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
727 733 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
728 734 interactively.
729 735
730 736 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
731 737
732 738 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
733 739 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
734 740
735 741 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
736 742
737 743 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
738 744 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
739 745 or only files.
740 746
741 747 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
742 748
743 749 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
744 750 they broke unittest
745 751
746 752 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
747 753
748 754 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
749 755 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
750 756 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
751 757 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
752 758
753 759 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
754 760
755 761 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
756 762 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
757 763 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
758 764 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
759 765 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
760 766
761 767 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
762 768
763 769 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
764 770 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
765 771
766 772 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
767 773
768 774 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
769 775 the mode argument).
770 776
771 777 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
772 778
773 779 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
774 780 not running under IPython.
775 781
776 782 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
777 783 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
778 784 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
779 785 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
780 786 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
781 787 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
782 788 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
783 789 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
784 790 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
785 791 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
786 792 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
787 793 are still supported.
788 794
789 795 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
790 796 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
791 797 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
792 798 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
793 799
794 800 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
795 801 encoding into methods.
796 802
797 803 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
798 804
799 805 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
800 806 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
801 807
802 808 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
803 809
804 810 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
805 811 non existing attributes.
806 812
807 813 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
808 814
809 815 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
810 816 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
811 817
812 818 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
813 819
814 820 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
815 821 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
816 822
817 823 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
818 824
819 825 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
820 826 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
821 827 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
822 828
823 829 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
824 830
825 831 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
826 832 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
827 833 Stefan van der Walt.
828 834
829 835 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
830 836
831 837 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
832 838 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
833 839
834 840 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
835 841
836 842 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
837 843 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
838 844 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
839 845
840 846 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
841 847
842 848 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
843 849 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
844 850 attributes.
845 851
846 852 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
847 853
848 854 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
849 855 commands into the methods implementing them.
850 856
851 857 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
852 858
853 859 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
854 860 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
855 861 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
856 862
857 863 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
858 864
859 865 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
860 866 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
861 867
862 868 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
863 869
864 870 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
865 871 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
866 872
867 873 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
868 874
869 875 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
870 876 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
871 877 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
872 878 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
873 879 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
874 880 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
875 881 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
876 882 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
877 883 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
878 884 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
879 885 the x key to "delete".
880 886
881 887 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
882 888
883 889 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
884 890 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
885 891 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
886 892 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
887 893
888 894 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
889 895 prompt
890 896
891 897 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
892 898
893 899 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
894 900
895 901 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
896 902 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
897 903 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
898 904 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
899 905
900 906 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
901 907
902 908 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
903 909 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
904 910 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
905 911 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
906 912 doesn't work properly yet.
907 913
908 914 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
909 915
910 916 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
911 917 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
912 918 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
913 919
914 920 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
915 921
916 922 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
917 923 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
918 924 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
919 925 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
920 926 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
921 927 execute commands.
922 928
923 929 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
924 930
925 931 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
926 932 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
927 933
928 934 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
929 935
930 936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
931 937 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
932 938
933 939 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
934 940
935 941 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
936 942 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
937 943 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
938 944
939 945 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
940 946
941 947 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
942 948
943 949 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
944 950 Repo tagged and release cut.
945 951
946 952 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
947 953
948 954 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
949 955 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
950 956
951 957 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
952 958 (for %upgrade)
953 959
954 960 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
955 961
956 962 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
957 963 instead of looping 20 times.
958 964
959 965 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
960 966 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
961 967 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
962 968
963 969 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
964 970 testing for release on 06/06.
965 971
966 972 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
967 973
968 974 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
969 975 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
970 976 live in people's PATH.
971 977
972 978 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
973 979 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
974 980 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
975 981 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
976 982 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
977 983
978 984 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
979 985 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
980 986
981 987 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
982 988
983 989 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
984 990 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
985 991
986 992 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
987 993
988 994 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
989 995 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
990 996 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
991 997
992 998 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
993 999
994 1000 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
995 1001 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
996 1002 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
997 1003 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
998 1004
999 1005 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1000 1006 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1001 1007 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1002 1008 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1003 1009
1004 1010 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1005 1011 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1006 1012 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1007 1013 work.
1008 1014
1009 1015 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1010 1016
1011 1017 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1012 1018 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1013 1019
1014 1020 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1015 1021 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1016 1022 author William Stein.
1017 1023
1018 1024 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1019 1025 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1020 1026 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1021 1027 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1022 1028 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1023 1029 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1024 1030 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1025 1031 objects more easily.
1026 1032
1027 1033 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1028 1034
1029 1035 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1030 1036 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1031 1037 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1032 1038 by Jeffrey Collins.
1033 1039
1034 1040 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1035 1041 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1036 1042 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1037 1043 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1038 1044
1039 1045 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1040 1046 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1041 1047 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1042 1048 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1043 1049
1044 1050 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1045 1051 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1046 1052 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1047 1053 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1048 1054 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1049 1055 compatibility)
1050 1056
1051 1057 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1052 1058 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1053 1059 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1054 1060
1055 1061 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1056 1062 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1057 1063 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1058 1064 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1059 1065 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1060 1066
1061 1067 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1062 1068 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1063 1069 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1064 1070
1065 1071 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1066 1072 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1067 1073 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1068 1074 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1069 1075 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1070 1076 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1071 1077 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1072 1078
1073 1079 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1074 1080 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1075 1081 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1076 1082
1077 1083 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1078 1084 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1079 1085 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1080 1086
1081 1087 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1082 1088 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1083 1089
1084 1090 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1085 1091
1086 1092 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1087 1093 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1088 1094 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1089 1095 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1090 1096 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1091 1097 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1092 1098 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1093 1099 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1094 1100 while running under SAGE.
1095 1101
1096 1102 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1097 1103
1098 1104 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1099 1105 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1100 1106 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1101 1107 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1102 1108
1103 1109 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1104 1110
1105 1111 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1106 1112 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1107 1113 updated.
1108 1114
1109 1115 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1110 1116 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1111 1117 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1112 1118 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1113 1119 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1114 1120
1115 1121 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1116 1122 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1117 1123 so more testing is needed...
1118 1124
1119 1125 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1120 1126
1121 1127 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1122 1128 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1123 1129 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1124 1130 when doing complex debugging.
1125 1131 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1126 1132 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1127 1133 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1128 1134 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1129 1135
1130 1136 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1131 1137
1132 1138 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1133 1139 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1134 1140 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1135 1141 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1136 1142
1137 1143 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1138 1144
1139 1145 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1140 1146 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1141 1147
1142 1148 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1143 1149
1144 1150 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1145 1151 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1146 1152 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1147 1153 been the one to acquire it.
1148 1154
1149 1155 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1150 1156
1151 1157 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1152 1158
1153 1159 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1154 1160
1155 1161 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1156 1162 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1157 1163 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1158 1164
1159 1165 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1160 1166 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1161 1167 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1162 1168 properly flush the output cache.
1163 1169
1164 1170 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1165 1171 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1166 1172
1167 1173 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1168 1174
1169 1175 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1170 1176 are quoted
1171 1177
1172 1178 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1173 1179
1174 1180 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1175 1181 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1176 1182
1177 1183 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1178 1184 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1179 1185
1180 1186 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1181 1187
1182 1188 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1183 1189 %upgrade magic
1184 1190
1185 1191 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1186 1192
1187 1193 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1188 1194 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1189 1195 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1190 1196
1191 1197 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1192 1198
1193 1199 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1194 1200 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1195 1201
1196 1202 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1197 1203 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1198 1204 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1199 1205 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1200 1206 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1201 1207
1202 1208 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1203 1209
1204 1210 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1205 1211 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1206 1212
1207 1213 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1208 1214
1209 1215 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1210 1216 Torsten Marek.
1211 1217
1212 1218 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1213 1219
1214 1220 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1215 1221 line ranges works again.
1216 1222
1217 1223 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1218 1224
1219 1225 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1220 1226 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1221 1227 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1222 1228 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1223 1229 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1224 1230
1225 1231 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1226 1232 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1227 1233 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1228 1234 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1229 1235 more.
1230 1236
1231 1237 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1232 1238
1233 1239 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1234 1240 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1235 1241
1236 1242 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1237 1243
1238 1244 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1239 1245 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.

1241 1247 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1242 1248
1243 1249 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1244 1250
1245 1251 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1246 1252
1247 1253 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1248 1254
1249 1255 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1250 1256 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1251 1257 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1252 1258
1253 1259 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1254 1260
1255 1261 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1256 1262 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1257 1263 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1258 1264 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1259 1265
1260 1266 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1261 1267 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1262 1268
1263 1269 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1264 1270 contributed by marienz to close
1265 1271 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1266 1272
1267 1273 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1268 1274
1269 1275 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1270 1276
1271 1277 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1272 1278 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1273 1279 nonsense.
1274 1280
1275 1281 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1276 1282
1277 1283 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1278 1284 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1279 1285
1280 1286 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1281 1287
1282 1288 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1283 1289
1284 1290 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1285 1291 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1286 1292
1287 1293 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1288 1294
1289 1295 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1290 1296 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1291 1297 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1292 1298 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1293 1299 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1294 1300 SAGE team.
1295 1301 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1296 1302 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1297 1303
1298 1304 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1299 1305 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1300 1306 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1301 1307 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1302 1308 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1303 1309
1304 1310 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1305 1311
1306 1312 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1307 1313 correctly now (on Linux)
1308 1314
1309 1315 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1310 1316 warnings
1311 1317
1312 1318 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1313 1319
1314 1320 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1315 1321
1316 1322
1317 1323 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1318 1324
1319 1325 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1320 1326 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1321 1327 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1322 1328 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1323 1329 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1324 1330 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1325 1331 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1326 1332 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1327 1333
1328 1334 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1329 1335
1330 1336 * aliases can now be %store'd
1331 1337
1332 1338 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1333 1339 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1334 1340 at __init__.
1335 1341
1336 1342 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1337 1343 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1338 1344
1339 1345 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1340 1346
1341 1347 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1342 1348 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1343 1349 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1344 1350
1345 1351 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1346 1352
1347 1353 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1348 1354
1349 1355 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1350 1356
1351 1357 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1352 1358 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1353 1359 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1354 1360 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1355 1361
1356 1362 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1357 1363 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1358 1364
1359 1365 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1360 1366
1361 1367 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1362 1368 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1363 1369 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1364 1370 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1365 1371
1366 1372 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1367 1373 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1368 1374 usage.
1369 1375
1370 1376 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1371 1377 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1372 1378 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1373 1379
1374 1380 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1375 1381
1376 1382 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1377 1383 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1378 1384
1379 1385 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1380 1386 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1381 1387 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1382 1388
1383 1389 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1384 1390
1385 1391 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1386 1392
1387 1393 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1388 1394
1389 1395 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1390 1396 are now more helpful:
1391 1397 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1392 1398
1393 1399 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1394 1400
1395 1401 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1396 1402 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1397 1403
1398 1404 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1399 1405
1400 1406 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1401 1407 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1402 1408
1403 1409 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1404 1410 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1405 1411 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1406 1412
1407 1413 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1408 1414
1409 1415
1410 1416 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1411 1417
1412 1418 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1413 1419 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1414 1420
1415 1421 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1416 1422
1417 1423 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1418 1424 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1419 1425 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1420 1426 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1421 1427 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1422 1428 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1423 1429
1424 1430 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1425 1431
1426 1432 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1427 1433 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1428 1434 \python24\scripts).
1429 1435
1430 1436 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1431 1437 egg.
1432 1438
1433 1439 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1434 1440
1435 1441 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1436 1442
1437 1443 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1438 1444
1439 1445 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1440 1446
1441 1447 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1442 1448
1443 1449 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1444 1450 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1445 1451 \python24\scripts).
1446 1452
1447 1453 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1448 1454 egg.
1449 1455
1450 1456 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1451 1457
1452 1458 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1453 1459 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1454 1460 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1455 1461
1456 1462 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1457 1463 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1458 1464 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1459 1465 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1460 1466
1461 1467 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1462 1468 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1463 1469 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1464 1470 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1465 1471 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1466 1472 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1467 1473 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1468 1474 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1469 1475 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1470 1476 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1471 1477 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1472 1478 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1473 1479
1474 1480 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1475 1481
1476 1482 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1477 1483 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1478 1484 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1479 1485 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1480 1486
1481 1487 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1482 1488
1483 1489 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1484 1490 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1485 1491 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1486 1492 importing extensions easy.
1487 1493
1488 1494 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1489 1495 classes / instances of those classes.
1490 1496
1491 1497 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1492 1498 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1493 1499 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1494 1500 the user.
1495 1501
1496 1502 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1497 1503 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1498 1504 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1499 1505
1500 1506 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1501 1507
1502 1508 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1503 1509 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1504 1510 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1505 1511 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1506 1512 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1507 1513 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1508 1514 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1509 1515 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1510 1516 the method.
1511 1517
1512 1518 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1513 1519
1514 1520 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1515 1521 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1516 1522
1517 1523 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1518 1524
1519 1525 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1520 1526 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1521 1527 Vivian.
1522 1528
1523 1529 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1524 1530 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1525 1531 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1526 1532 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1527 1533 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1528 1534
1529 1535 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1530 1536
1531 1537 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1532 1538 that returns file contents on exit.
1533 1539
1534 1540 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1535 1541 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1536 1542 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1537 1543 sc files=ls
1538 1544 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1539 1545 print p,p.mtime
1540 1546
1541 1547 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1542 1548 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1543 1549 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1544 1550 instead of syntax error.
1545 1551
1546 1552
1547 1553 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1548 1554
1549 1555 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1550 1556 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1551 1557 data.
1552 1558
1553 1559 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1554 1560 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1555 1561 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1556 1562 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1557 1563
1558 1564 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1559 1565 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1560 1566 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1561 1567 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1562 1568 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1563 1569 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1564 1570
1565 1571 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1566 1572
1567 1573 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1568 1574 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1569 1575 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1570 1576 current dir.
1571 1577
1572 1578 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1573 1579 had to create new files.
1574 1580
1575 1581 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1576 1582 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1577 1583 future.
1578 1584
1579 1585 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1580 1586 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1581 1587 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1582 1588
1583 1589
1584 1590 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1585 1591
1586 1592 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1587 1593 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1588 1594 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1589 1595 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1590 1596 later.
1591 1597
1592 1598 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1593 1599 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1594 1600
1595 1601 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1596 1602
1597 1603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1598 1604 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1599 1605 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1600 1606 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1601 1607 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1602 1608 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1603 1609
1604 1610 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1605 1611
1606 1612 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1607 1613 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1608 1614 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1609 1615 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1610 1616 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1611 1617 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1612 1618 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1613 1619 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1614 1620 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1615 1621 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1616 1622
1617 1623 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1618 1624 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1619 1625 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1620 1626 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1621 1627
1622 1628 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1623 1629 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1624 1630 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1625 1631 "setup.py install" between changes).
1626 1632
1627 1633 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1628 1634 if 1:
1629 1635 !ls
1630 1636 !!ls
1631 1637
1632 1638 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1633 1639
1634 1640 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1635 1641 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1636 1642 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1637 1643 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1638 1644
1639 1645 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1640 1646 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1641 1647 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1642 1648
1643 1649 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1644 1650
1645 1651 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1646 1652 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1647 1653 win32.
1648 1654
1649 1655 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1650 1656
1651 1657 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1652 1658
1653 1659 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1654 1660 ready for release.
1655 1661
1656 1662 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1657 1663 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1658 1664 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1659 1665 where to copy the info from.
1660 1666
1661 1667 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1662 1668
1663 1669 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1664 1670 support in the release tools as well.
1665 1671
1666 1672 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1667 1673
1668 1674 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1669 1675 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1670 1676 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1671 1677 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1672 1678
1673 1679 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1674 1680 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1675 1681 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1676 1682
1677 1683 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1678 1684 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1679 1685
1680 1686 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1681 1687 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1682 1688 printer not to work.
1683 1689
1684 1690 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1685 1691
1686 1692 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1687 1693 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1688 1694
1689 1695 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1690 1696
1691 1697 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1692 1698 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1693 1699 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1694 1700
1695 1701 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1696 1702 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1697 1703 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1698 1704
1699 1705 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1700 1706 Ville's patch.
1701 1707
1702 1708 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1703 1709
1704 1710 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1705 1711 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1706 1712 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1707 1713 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1708 1714 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1709 1715 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1710 1716 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1711 1717
1712 1718 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1713 1719 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1714 1720 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1715 1721
1716 1722 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1717 1723
1718 1724 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1719 1725 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1720 1726
1721 1727 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1722 1728 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1723 1729 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1724 1730 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1725 1731 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1726 1732 twister).
1727 1733
1728 1734 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1729 1735 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1730 1736 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1731 1737
1732 1738 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1733 1739 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1734 1740 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1735 1741 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1736 1742 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1737 1743 something inside the dis module.
1738 1744
1739 1745 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1740 1746
1741 1747 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1742 1748 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1743 1749 follows the discussion in
1744 1750 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1745 1751
1746 1752 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1747 1753 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1748 1754 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1749 1755
1750 1756 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1751 1757 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1752 1758 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1753 1759
1754 1760 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1755 1761 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1756 1762 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1757 1763 speed up this routine.
1758 1764
1759 1765 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1760 1766 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1761 1767 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1762 1768 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1763 1769 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1764 1770 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1765 1771 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1766 1772 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1767 1773
1768 1774 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1769 1775 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1770 1776 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1771 1777
1772 1778 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1773 1779 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1774 1780 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1775 1781 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1776 1782 setters don't do anything).
1777 1783
1778 1784 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1779 1785
1780 1786 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1781 1787 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1782 1788 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1783 1789 falling out of sync...)
1784 1790
1785 1791 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1786 1792 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1787 1793 as loops).
1788 1794
1789 1795 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1790 1796 win32 system access.
1791 1797
1792 1798 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1793 1799
1794 1800 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1795 1801 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1796 1802 thread-safe.
1797 1803 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1798 1804 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1799 1805 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1800 1806 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1801 1807 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1802 1808 can still happen.
1803 1809 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1804 1810 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1805 1811 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1806 1812 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1807 1813 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1808 1814 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1809 1815 cleanly.
1810 1816
1811 1817 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1812 1818 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1813 1819 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1814 1820 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1815 1821 users' persisted data.
1816 1822
1817 1823 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1818 1824 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1819 1825 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1820 1826 multiline input (such as macros).
1821 1827
1822 1828 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1823 1829 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1824 1830 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1825 1831 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1826 1832 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1827 1833 informative).
1828 1834
1829 1835 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1830 1836 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1831 1837
1832 1838 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1833 1839 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1834 1840 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1835 1841
1836 1842 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1837 1843 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1838 1844 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1839 1845 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1840 1846 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1841 1847 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1842 1848 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1843 1849 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1844 1850 details.
1845 1851
1846 1852 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1847 1853 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1848 1854 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1849 1855 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1850 1856 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1851 1857
1852 1858 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1853 1859 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1854 1860 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1855 1861 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1856 1862 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1857 1863
1858 1864 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1859 1865 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1860 1866 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1861 1867 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1862 1868 options to %logstart. Closes
1863 1869 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1864 1870 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1865 1871
1866 1872 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1867 1873
1868 1874 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1869 1875 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1870 1876 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1871 1877 list:
1872 1878 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1873 1879
1874 1880 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1875 1881
1876 1882 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1877 1883 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1878 1884 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1879 1885 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1880 1886
1881 1887 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1882 1888 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1883 1889 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1884 1890 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1885 1891 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1886 1892
1887 1893 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1888 1894 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1889 1895 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1890 1896 true by default.
1891 1897
1892 1898 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1893 1899 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1894 1900 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1895 1901 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1896 1902
1897 1903 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1898 1904
1899 1905 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1900 1906 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1901 1907 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1902 1908 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1903 1909 version committed).
1904 1910
1905 1911 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1906 1912 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1907 1913 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1908 1914 discussion on the user list.
1909 1915
1910 1916 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1911 1917 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1912 1918 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1913 1919 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1914 1920
1915 1921 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1916 1922
1917 1923 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1918 1924 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1919 1925 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1920 1926
1921 1927 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1922 1928 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1923 1929 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1924 1930
1925 1931 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1926 1932 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1927 1933 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1928 1934 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1929 1935 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1930 1936 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1931 1937 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1932 1938 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1933 1939 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1934 1940 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1935 1941 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1936 1942 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1937 1943 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1938 1944 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1939 1945 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1940 1946 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1941 1947 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1942 1948 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1943 1949 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1944 1950 branch refactoring.
1945 1951
1946 1952 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1947 1953
1948 1954 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1949 1955 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1950 1956
1951 1957 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1952 1958 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1953 1959 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1954 1960 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1955 1961 worked correctly).
1956 1962
1957 1963 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1958 1964 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1959 1965 second argument (the others were bumped one position).

1961 1967 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1962 1968
1963 1969 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1964 1970 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1965 1971 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1966 1972 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1967 1973 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1968 1974 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1969 1975 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1970 1976 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1971 1977
1972 1978 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1973 1979
1974 1980 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1975 1981 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1976 1982 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1977 1983 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1978 1984 on this.
1979 1985
1980 1986 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1981 1987
1982 1988 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1983 1989 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1984 1990 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1985 1991 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1986 1992 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1987 1993
1988 1994 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1989 1995
1990 1996 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1991 1997 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1992 1998 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1993 1999 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1994 2000
1995 2001 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1996 2002
1997 2003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1998 2004 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1999 2005 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2000 2006
2001 2007 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2002 2008
2003 2009 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2004 2010 startup time.
2005 2011
2006 2012 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2007 2013 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2008 2014 it's working in all cases.
2009 2015
2010 2016 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2011 2017 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2012 2018 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2013 2019 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2014 2020 per-search basis.
2015 2021
2016 2022 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2017 2023
2018 2024 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2019 2025 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2020 2026 of a patch by Jorgen.
2021 2027
2022 2028 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2023 2029
2024 2030 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2025 2031 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2026 2032 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2027 2033
2028 2034 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2029 2035
2030 2036 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2031 2037 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2032 2038 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2033 2039 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2034 2040
2035 2041 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2036 2042
2037 2043 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2038 2044 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2039 2045 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2040 2046 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2041 2047 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2042 2048 implementing this functionality.
2043 2049
2044 2050 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2045 2051
2046 2052 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2047 2053 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2048 2054 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2049 2055 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2050 2056 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2051 2057 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2052 2058 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2053 2059
2054 2060 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2055 2061
2056 2062 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2057 2063 reported by Stephen Walton.
2058 2064
2059 2065 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2060 2066
2061 2067 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2062 2068
2063 2069 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2064 2070 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2065 2071
2066 2072 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2067 2073
2068 2074 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2069 2075 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2070 2076
2071 2077 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2072 2078 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2073 2079
2074 2080 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2075 2081
2076 2082 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2077 2083 finishing.
2078 2084
2079 2085 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2080 2086 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2081 2087
2082 2088 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2083 2089 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2084 2090 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2085 2091
2086 2092 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2087 2093 code, handy in general.
2088 2094
2089 2095 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2090 2096 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2091 2097 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2092 2098
2093 2099 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2094 2100
2095 2101 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2096 2102 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2097 2103 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2098 2104 testing, though.
2099 2105 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2100 2106 like this before...
2101 2107
2102 2108 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2103 2109 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2104 2110
2105 2111 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2106 2112 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2107 2113
2108 2114 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2109 2115
2110 2116 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2111 2117 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2112 2118 F. Mantegazza.
2113 2119
2114 2120 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2115 2121
2116 2122 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2117 2123 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2118 2124 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2119 2125
2120 2126 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2121 2127 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2122 2128 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2123 2129 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2124 2130 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2125 2131 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2126 2132
2127 2133 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2128 2134
2129 2135 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2130 2136 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2131 2137 beyond readline-based environments.
2132 2138
2133 2139 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2134 2140
2135 2141 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2136 2142
2137 2143 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2138 2144 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2139 2145 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2140 2146 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2141 2147 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2142 2148
2143 2149 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2144 2150
2145 2151 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2146 2152 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2147 2153 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2148 2154
2149 2155 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2150 2156
2151 2157 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2152 2158
2153 2159 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2154 2160
2155 2161 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2156 2162 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2157 2163 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2158 2164 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2159 2165 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2160 2166 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2161 2167
2162 2168 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2163 2169
2164 2170 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2165 2171
2166 2172 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2167 2173
2168 2174 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2169 2175 invalid $HOME under win32.
2170 2176
2171 2177 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2172 2178
2173 2179 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2174 2180 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2175 2181 simpler and a bit faster.
2176 2182
2177 2183 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2178 2184 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2179 2185 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2180 2186 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2181 2187 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2182 2188
2183 2189 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2184 2190 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2185 2191 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2186 2192
2187 2193 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2188 2194 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2189 2195
2190 2196 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2191 2197 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2192 2198 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2193 2199 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2194 2200 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2195 2201 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2196 2202 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2197 2203
2198 2204 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2199 2205
2200 2206 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2201 2207
2202 2208 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2203 2209
2204 2210 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2205 2211 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2206 2212
2207 2213 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2208 2214
2209 2215 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2210 2216 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2211 2217 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2212 2218 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2213 2219 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2214 2220 for the contribution.
2215 2221
2216 2222 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2217 2223 slightly modified version of the patch in
2218 2224 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2219 2225 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2220 2226 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2221 2227
2222 2228 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2223 2229
2224 2230 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2225 2231 I/O a bit more.
2226 2232
2227 2233 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2228 2234 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2229 2235
2230 2236 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2231 2237
2232 2238 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2233 2239
2234 2240 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2235 2241 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2236 2242 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2237 2243 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2238 2244
2239 2245 readline_remove_delims -/~
2240 2246
2241 2247
2242 2248 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

2244 2250 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2245 2251
2246 2252 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2247 2253 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2248 2254 <eli@gondolin.net>
2249 2255
2250 2256 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2251 2257
2252 2258 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2253 2259 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2254 2260
2255 2261 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2256 2262
2257 2263 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2258 2264 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2259 2265 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2260 2266
2261 2267 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2262 2268
2263 2269 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2264 2270 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2265 2271
2266 2272 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2267 2273
2268 2274 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2269 2275 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2270 2276
2271 2277 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2272 2278 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2273 2279 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2274 2280 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2275 2281 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2276 2282 for more details.
2277 2283
2278 2284 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2279 2285 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2280 2286 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2281 2287 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2282 2288
2283 2289 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2284 2290
2285 2291 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2286 2292 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2287 2293 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2288 2294 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2289 2295 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2290 2296
2291 2297 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2292 2298 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2293 2299 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2294 2300
2295 2301 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2296 2302
2297 2303 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2298 2304
2299 2305 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2300 2306
2301 2307 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2302 2308 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2303 2309 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2304 2310 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2305 2311 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2306 2312
2307 2313 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2308 2314
2309 2315 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2310 2316
2311 2317 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2312 2318 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2313 2319 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2314 2320 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2315 2321 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2316 2322
2317 2323 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2318 2324 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2319 2325 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2320 2326 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2321 2327 take the text parameter.
2322 2328
2323 2329 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2324 2330 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2325 2331 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2326 2332 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2327 2333 pysh profile to include the line
2328 2334
2329 2335 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2330 2336
2331 2337 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2332 2338 delete pysh.py and the line
2333 2339
2334 2340 execfile pysh.py
2335 2341
2336 2342 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2337 2343
2338 2344 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2339 2345 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2340 2346 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2341 2347 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2342 2348 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2343 2349
2344 2350 * pysh.py:
2345 2351
2346 2352 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2347 2353
2348 2354 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2349 2355 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2350 2356 want it can still turn it off.
2351 2357
2352 2358 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2353 2359 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2354 2360 off by default.
2355 2361
2356 2362 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2357 2363 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2358 2364 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2359 2365 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2360 2366 calls.
2361 2367
2362 2368 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2363 2369
2364 2370 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2365 2371 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2366 2372 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2367 2373
2368 2374 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2369 2375
2370 2376 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2371 2377 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2372 2378 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2373 2379 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2374 2380
2375 2381 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2376 2382 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2377 2383 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2378 2384 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2379 2385
2380 2386 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2387
2382 2388 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2383 2389 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2384 2390
2385 2391 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2386 2392 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2387 2393 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2388 2394 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2389 2395 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2390 2396 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2391 2397 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2392 2398 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2393 2399
2394 2400 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2401
2396 2402 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2397 2403 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2398 2404 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2399 2405 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2400 2406 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2401 2407 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2402 2408 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2403 2409 add new completers at runtime.
2404 2410
2405 2411 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2406 2412
2407 2413 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2408 2414 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2409 2415 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2410 2416 ? system.
2411 2417
2412 2418 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2413 2419 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2414 2420 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2415 2421 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2416 2422 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2417 2423 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2418 2424 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2419 2425 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2420 2426
2421 2427 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2422 2428
2423 2429 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2424 2430 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2425 2431 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2426 2432 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2427 2433 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2428 2434
2429 2435 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2430 2436 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2431 2437 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2432 2438 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2433 2439 add:
2434 2440
2435 2441 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2436 2442 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2437 2443
2438 2444 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2439 2445
2440 2446 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2441 2447 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2442 2448 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2443 2449 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2444 2450
2445 2451 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2446 2452 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2447 2453 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2448 2454 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2449 2455 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2450 2456 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2451 2457 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2452 2458 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2453 2459 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2454 2460
2455 2461 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2462
2457 2463 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2458 2464 prompt namespace handling.
2459 2465
2460 2466 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2461 2467
2462 2468 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2463 2469 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2464 2470 trips the emacs python mode).
2465 2471 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2466 2472 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2467 2473 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2468 2474 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2469 2475 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2470 2476 calls will be made at runtime.
2471 2477
2472 2478 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2473 2479
2474 2480 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2475 2481 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2476 2482 the call to %history.
2477 2483
2478 2484 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2479 2485
2480 2486 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2481 2487
2482 2488 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2483 2489 ipmagic() function calls.
2484 2490
2485 2491 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2486 2492 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2487 2493
2488 2494 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2489 2495
2490 2496 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2491 2497 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2492 2498 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2493 2499 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2494 2500 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2495 2501 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2496 2502 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2497 2503 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2498 2504
2499 2505 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2500 2506
2501 2507 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2502 2508 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2503 2509 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2504 2510 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2505 2511 Ville Vainio.
2506 2512
2507 2513 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2508 2514
2509 2515 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2510 2516 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2511 2517 define the ones they personally like.
2512 2518
2513 2519 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2514 2520
2515 2521 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2516 2522 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2517 2523
2518 2524 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2519 2525
2520 2526 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2521 2527 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2522 2528
2523 2529 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2524 2530 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2525 2531 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2526 2532 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2527 2533 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2528 2534 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2529 2535 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2530 2536 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2531 2537
2532 2538 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2533 2539 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2534 2540 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2535 2541 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2536 2542 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2537 2543
2538 2544 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2539 2545
2540 2546 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2541 2547 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2542 2548 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2543 2549
2544 2550 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2545 2551 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2546 2552 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2547 2553
2548 2554 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2549 2555
2550 2556 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2551 2557
2552 2558 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2553 2559 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2554 2560 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2555 2561 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2556 2562 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2557 2563 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2558 2564 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2559 2565 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2560 2566 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2561 2567 system is a separate implementation).
2562 2568
2563 2569 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2564 2570 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2565 2571 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2566 2572 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2567 2573 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2568 2574 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2569 2575 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2570 2576 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2571 2577 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2572 2578 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2573 2579 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2574 2580
2575 2581 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2576 2582
2577 2583 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2578 2584 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2579 2585 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2580 2586 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2581 2587 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2582 2588 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2583 2589 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2584 2590 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2585 2591
2586 2592 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2587 2593
2588 2594 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2589 2595 previous call produced a syntax error.
2590 2596
2591 2597 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2592 2598 classes without constructor.
2593 2599
2594 2600 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2595 2601
2596 2602 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2597 2603 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2598 2604 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2599 2605 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2600 2606 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2601 2607 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2602 2608 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2603 2609
2604 2610 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2605 2611
2606 2612 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2607 2613 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2608 2614
2609 2615 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2610 2616
2611 2617 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2612 2618 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2613 2619 optimizations.
2614 2620
2615 2621 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2616 2622 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2617 2623
2618 2624 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2619 2625
2620 2626 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2621 2627 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2622 2628 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2623 2629 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2624 2630 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2625 2631 avoid annoying the lists further.
2626 2632
2627 2633 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2628 2634
2629 2635 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2630 2636
2631 2637 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2632 2638 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2633 2639 norm definitions.
2634 2640 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2635 2641 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2636 2642 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2637 2643
2638 2644 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2639 2645 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2640 2646 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2641 2647 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2642 2648 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2643 2649
2644 2650 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2645 2651 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2646 2652 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2647 2653 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2648 2654
2649 2655 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2650 2656 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2651 2657 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2652 2658 fixes.
2653 2659
2654 2660 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2655 2661 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2656 2662 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2657 2663 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2658 2664 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2659 2665 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2660 2666 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2661 2667
2662 2668 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2663 2669
2664 2670 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2665 2671
2666 2672 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2667 2673 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2668 2674 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2669 2675 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2670 2676 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2671 2677 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2672 2678 Panel.
2673 2679
2674 2680 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2675 2681 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2676 2682 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2677 2683 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2678 2684 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2679 2685
2680 2686 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2681 2687
2682 2688 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2683 2689 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2684 2690
2685 2691 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2686 2692
2687 2693 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2688 2694
2689 2695 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2690 2696 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2691 2697 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2692 2698 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2693 2699 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2694 2700 python shell.
2695 2701
2696 2702 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2697 2703 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2698 2704 on assignments. This closes
2699 2705 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2700 2706 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2701 2707 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2702 2708
2703 2709 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2710
2705 2711 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2706 2712 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2707 2713
2708 2714 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2709 2715
2710 2716 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2711 2717
2712 2718 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2713 2719 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2714 2720
2715 2721 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2716 2722
2717 2723 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2718 2724 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2719 2725 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2720 2726
2721 2727 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2722 2728
2723 2729 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2724 2730 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2725 2731 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2726 2732
2727 2733 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2728 2734
2729 2735 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2730 2736 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2731 2737 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2732 2738
2733 2739 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2734 2740 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2735 2741 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2736 2742
2737 2743 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2738 2744
2739 2745 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2740 2746 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2741 2747
2742 2748 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2743 2749
2744 2750 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2745 2751 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2746 2752 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2747 2753
2748 2754 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2749 2755
2750 2756 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2751 2757 reported by Prabhu.
2752 2758 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2753 2759 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2754 2760 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2755 2761
2756 2762 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2757 2763 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2758 2764
2759 2765 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2760 2766 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2761 2767 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2762 2768 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2763 2769 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2764 2770 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2765 2771
2766 2772 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2767 2773
2768 2774 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2769 2775
2770 2776 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2771 2777 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2772 2778 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2773 2779 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2774 2780
2775 2781 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2776 2782 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2777 2783
2778 2784 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2779 2785 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2780 2786 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2781 2787 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2782 2788 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2783 2789 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2784 2790 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2785 2791
2786 2792 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2787 2793 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2788 2794 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2789 2795
2790 2796 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2791 2797 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2792 2798 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2793 2799 before.
2794 2800
2795 2801 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2796 2802
2797 2803 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2798 2804 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2799 2805 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2800 2806 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2801 2807
2802 2808 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2803 2809 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2804 2810 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2805 2811 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2806 2812 timing very short-running code.
2807 2813
2808 2814 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2809 2815 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2810 2816 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2811 2817 utility.
2812 2818
2813 2819 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2814 2820 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2815 2821 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2816 2822 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2817 2823 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2818 2824 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2819 2825 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2820 2826 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2821 2827
2822 2828 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2823 2829 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2824 2830 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2825 2831
2826 2832 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2827 2833 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2828 2834 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2829 2835 is for).
2830 2836
2831 2837 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2832 2838 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2833 2839 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2834 2840 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2835 2841 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2836 2842
2837 2843 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2838 2844
2839 2845 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2840 2846 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2841 2847 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2842 2848 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2843 2849 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2844 2850
2845 2851 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2846 2852 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2847 2853 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2848 2854 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2849 2855 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2850 2856 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2851 2857
2852 2858 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2853 2859
2854 2860 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2855 2861 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2856 2862
2857 2863 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2858 2864
2859 2865 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2860 2866 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2861 2867 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2862 2868 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2863 2869
2864 2870 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2865 2871
2866 2872 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2867 2873
2868 2874 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2869 2875 setting with -d option.
2870 2876
2871 2877 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2872 2878 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2873 2879 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2874 2880 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2875 2881
2876 2882 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2877 2883
2878 2884 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2879 2885 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2880 2886
2881 2887 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2882 2888 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2883 2889 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2884 2890 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2885 2891 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2886 2892 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2887 2893 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2888 2894 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2889 2895 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2890 2896 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2891 2897 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2892 2898
2893 2899 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2894 2900
2895 2901 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2896 2902 cache when empty lines were present.
2897 2903
2898 2904 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2899 2905
2900 2906 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2901 2907 options for WX and GTK.
2902 2908
2903 2909 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2904 2910
2905 2911 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2906 2912 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2907 2913 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2908 2914 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2909 2915 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2910 2916 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2911 2917 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2912 2918
2913 2919 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2914 2920 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2915 2921
2916 2922 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2917 2923
2918 2924 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2919 2925 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2920 2926 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2921 2927 many thanks.
2922 2928
2923 2929 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2924 2930 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2925 2931 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2926 2932
2927 2933 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2928 2934
2929 2935 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2930 2936 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2931 2937 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2932 2938
2933 2939 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2934 2940
2935 2941 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2936 2942
2937 2943 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2938 2944 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2939 2945 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2940 2946
2941 2947 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2942 2948
2943 2949 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2944 2950 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2945 2951
2946 2952 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2947 2953
2948 2954 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2949 2955 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2950 2956 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2951 2957 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2952 2958 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2953 2959 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2954 2960 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2955 2961
2956 2962 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2957 2963
2958 2964 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2959 2965 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2960 2966 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2961 2967 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2962 2968
2963 2969 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2964 2970 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2965 2971
2966 2972 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2967 2973
2968 2974 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2969 2975 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2970 2976
2971 2977 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2972 2978 use throughout ipython.
2973 2979
2974 2980 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2975 2981 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2976 2982
2977 2983 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2978 2984 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2979 2985 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2980 2986 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2981 2987
2982 2988 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2983 2989
2984 2990 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2985 2991 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2986 2992 report by Francesc Alted.
2987 2993
2988 2994 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2989 2995
2990 2996 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2991 2997 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2992 2998
2993 2999 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2994 3000
2995 3001 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2996 3002 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2997 3003 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2998 3004 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2999 3005 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3000 3006 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3001 3007 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3002 3008 correctly set.
3003 3009
3004 3010 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3005 3011
3006 3012 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3007 3013 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3008 3014 import requirement of PEP-328.
3009 3015
3010 3016 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3011 3017 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3012 3018 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3013 3019 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3014 3020
3015 3021 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3016 3022
3017 3023 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3018 3024
3019 3025 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3020 3026 via a normal python function call.
3021 3027
3022 3028 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3023 3029 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3024 3030 2.4.
3025 3031
3026 3032 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3027 3033
3028 3034 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3029 3035 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3030 3036 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3031 3037 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3032 3038 is given to the user).
3033 3039
3034 3040 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3035 3041
3036 3042 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3037 3043 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3038 3044 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3039 3045 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3040 3046
3041 3047 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3042 3048 python 2.2.
3043 3049
3044 3050 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3045 3051 banner arg for embedded customization.
3046 3052
3047 3053 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3048 3054 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3049 3055 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3050 3056 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3051 3057 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3052 3058 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3053 3059
3054 3060 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3055 3061 minor changes to debian dir.
3056 3062
3057 3063 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3058 3064 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3059 3065 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3060 3066 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3061 3067
3062 3068 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3063 3069
3064 3070 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3065 3071 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3066 3072 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3067 3073 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3068 3074 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3069 3075
3070 3076 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3071 3077
3072 3078 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3073 3079 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3074 3080
3075 3081 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3076 3082
3077 3083 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3078 3084 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3079 3085
3080 3086 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3081 3087
3082 3088 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3083 3089
3084 3090 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3085 3091 updated.
3086 3092
3087 3093 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3088 3094
3089 3095 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3090 3096 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3091 3097 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3092 3098 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3093 3099 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3094 3100
3095 3101 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3096 3102 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3097 3103 split regexp. Closes
3098 3104 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3099 3105 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3100 3106 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3101 3107 extensions.
3102 3108
3103 3109 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3104 3110 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3105 3111 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3106 3112 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3107 3113 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3108 3114
3109 3115 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3110 3116 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3111 3117 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3112 3118 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3113 3119
3114 3120 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3115 3121 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3116 3122
3117 3123 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3118 3124 fine-tune banner.
3119 3125
3120 3126 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3121 3127 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3122 3128
3123 3129 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3124 3130
3125 3131 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3126 3132 were missing.
3127 3133
3128 3134 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3129 3135 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3130 3136 valid at the command line.
3131 3137
3132 3138 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3133 3139 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3134 3140
3135 3141 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3136 3142
3137 3143 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3138 3144 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3139 3145 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3140 3146
3141 3147 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3142 3148
3143 3149 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3144 3150 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3145 3151 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3146 3152 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3147 3153 continue to use the standard profiler.
3148 3154
3149 3155 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3150 3156
3151 3157 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3152 3158 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3153 3159 close.
3154 3160
3155 3161 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3156 3162
3157 3163 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3158 3164 in Magic and ultraTB.
3159 3165
3160 3166 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3161 3167
3162 3168 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3163 3169 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3164 3170 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3165 3171 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3166 3172
3167 3173 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3168 3174 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3169 3175 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3170 3176 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3171 3177 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3172 3178 infrastructure in place.
3173 3179
3174 3180 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3175 3181
3176 3182 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3177 3183
3178 3184 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3179 3185 the pylab profile.
3180 3186
3181 3187 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3182 3188
3183 3189 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3184 3190
3185 3191 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3186 3192 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3187 3193 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3188 3194 itself.
3189 3195
3190 3196 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3191 3197 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3192 3198 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3193 3199 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3194 3200 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3195 3201 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3196 3202 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3197 3203 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3198 3204
3199 3205 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3200 3206 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3201 3207
3202 3208 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3203 3209
3204 3210 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3205 3211 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3206 3212 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3207 3213
3208 3214 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3209 3215
3210 3216 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3211 3217 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3212 3218
3213 3219 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3214 3220
3215 3221 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3216 3222
3217 3223 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3218 3224
3219 3225 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3220 3226
3221 3227 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3222 3228 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3223 3229 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3224 3230
3225 3231 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3232
3227 3233 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3228 3234 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3229 3235 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3230 3236 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3231 3237 works.
3232 3238
3233 3239 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3234 3240 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3235 3241 practice.
3236 3242
3237 3243 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3238 3244
3239 3245 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3240 3246 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3241 3247 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3242 3248
3243 3249 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3244 3250
3245 3251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3246 3252 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3247 3253 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3248 3254 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3249 3255
3250 3256 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3251 3257
3252 3258 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3253 3259 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3254 3260 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3255 3261 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3256 3262
3257 3263 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3258 3264
3259 3265 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3260 3266
3261 3267 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3262 3268 fail for any number.
3263 3269 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3264 3270 empty bookmarks.
3265 3271
3266 3272 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3267 3273
3268 3274 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3269 3275
3270 3276 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3271 3277
3272 3278 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3273 3279 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3274 3280
3275 3281 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3276 3282 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3277 3283
3278 3284 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3279 3285
3280 3286 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3281 3287 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3282 3288 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3283 3289 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3284 3290 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3285 3291
3286 3292 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3287 3293
3288 3294 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3289 3295 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3290 3296
3291 3297 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3292 3298
3293 3299 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3294 3300 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3295 3301 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3296 3302 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3297 3303
3298 3304 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3299 3305 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3300 3306 Schmolck.
3301 3307
3302 3308 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3309
3304 3310 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3305 3311
3306 3312 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3307 3313 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3308 3314
3309 3315 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3310 3316 optimizations.
3311 3317
3312 3318 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3313 3319 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3314 3320
3315 3321 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3316 3322 --Started changelog.
3317 3323 --make clear do what it say it does
3318 3324 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3319 3325 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3320 3326 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3321 3327 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3322 3328 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3323 3329 can be done for other cases.
3324 3330 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3325 3331 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3326 3332 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3327 3333
3328 3334 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3329 3335 --added logfile rotation
3330 3336 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3331 3337
3332 3338 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3333 3339 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3334 3340 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3335 3341 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3336 3342 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3337 3343 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3338 3344 --added global logfile option
3339 3345 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3340 3346 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3341 3347
3342 3348 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3343 3349 --added a README
3344 3350 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3345 3351 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3346 3352 bug or feature.
3347 3353 --changed rc file for new behavior
3348 3354
3349 3355 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3350 3356
3351 3357 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3352 3358 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3353 3359 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3354 3360
3355 3361 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3356 3362 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3357 3363
3358 3364 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3359 3365
3360 3366 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3361 3367 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3362 3368 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3363 3369 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3364 3370 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3365 3371 and prepended with a #.
3366 3372
3367 3373 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3368 3374 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3369 3375
3370 3376 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3371 3377
3372 3378 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3373 3379 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3374 3380
3375 3381 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3376 3382
3377 3383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3378 3384 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3379 3385
3380 3386 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3387
3382 3388 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3383 3389 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3384 3390 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3385 3391
3386 3392 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3387 3393
3388 3394 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3389 3395 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3390 3396
3391 3397 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3392 3398 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3393 3399 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3394 3400 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3395 3401 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3396 3402 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3397 3403 be implemented later).
3398 3404
3399 3405 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3400 3406 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3401 3407 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3402 3408 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3403 3409
3404 3410 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3405 3411 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3406 3412 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3407 3413
3408 3414 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3409 3415 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3410 3416
3411 3417 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3412 3418 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3413 3419 readline make it impossible to go further.
3414 3420
3415 3421 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3416 3422
3417 3423 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3418 3424 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3419 3425
3420 3426 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3421 3427
3422 3428 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3423 3429 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3424 3430 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3425 3431 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3426 3432
3427 3433 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3428 3434 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3429 3435 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3430 3436 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3431 3437
3432 3438 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3433 3439 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3434 3440 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3435 3441 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3436 3442 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3437 3443 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3438 3444 problem.
3439 3445
3440 3446 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3441 3447 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3442 3448
3443 3449 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3444 3450 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3445 3451 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3446 3452
3447 3453 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3448 3454
3449 3455 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3450 3456 continue prompts.
3451 3457
3452 3458 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3453 3459 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3454 3460 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3455 3461 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3456 3462 byte-compilation saves time.
3457 3463
3458 3464 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3465
3460 3466 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3461 3467 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3462 3468
3463 3469 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3464 3470 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3465 3471
3466 3472 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3467 3473 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3468 3474 common cases where it's a problem.
3469 3475
3470 3476 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3471 3477
3472 3478 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3473 3479 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3474 3480 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3475 3481 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3476 3482 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3477 3483 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3478 3484
3479 3485 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3480 3486
3481 3487 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3482 3488 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3483 3489
3484 3490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3485 3491 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3486 3492 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3487 3493 structure as win_exec_ext.
3488 3494
3489 3495 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3490 3496 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3491 3497
3492 3498 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3493 3499 delete aliases.
3494 3500
3495 3501 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3496 3502 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3497 3503
3498 3504 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3499 3505
3500 3506 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3501 3507 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3502 3508
3503 3509 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3504 3510
3505 3511 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3506 3512 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3507 3513
3508 3514 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3509 3515 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3510 3516
3511 3517 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3512 3518 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3513 3519 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3514 3520 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3515 3521 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3516 3522 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3517 3523
3518 3524 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3519 3525 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3520 3526 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3521 3527
3522 3528 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3523 3529 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3524 3530 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3525 3531
3526 3532 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3527 3533 via an extra $. For example:
3528 3534
3529 3535 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3530 3536
3531 3537 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3532 3538 a python variable
3533 3539
3534 3540 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3535 3541 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3536 3542
3537 3543 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3538 3544 things prematurely.
3539 3545
3540 3546 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3541 3547 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3542 3548
3543 3549 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3544 3550 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3545 3551 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3546 3552 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3547 3553 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3548 3554 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3549 3555 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3550 3556 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3551 3557
3552 3558 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3553 3559 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3554 3560 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3555 3561 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3556 3562 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3557 3563 with the old system).
3558 3564
3559 3565 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3560 3566
3561 3567 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3562 3568 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3563 3569
3564 3570 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3565 3571 call to eval.
3566 3572 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3567 3573 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3568 3574 in.
3569 3575
3570 3576 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3571 3577
3572 3578 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3573 3579 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3574 3580 confusion).
3575 3581
3576 3582 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3577 3583 check for Windows users.
3578 3584
3579 3585 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3580 3586 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3581 3587 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3582 3588 download it.
3583 3589
3584 3590 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3585 3591
3586 3592 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3587 3593 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3588 3594 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3589 3595 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3590 3596 of IDLE's out).
3591 3597
3592 3598 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3593 3599 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3594 3600 eventually.
3595 3601 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3596 3602
3597 3603 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3598 3604
3599 3605 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3600 3606 list of auto-defined aliases.
3601 3607
3602 3608 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3609
3604 3610 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3605 3611 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3606 3612 things under Windows).
3607 3613
3608 3614 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3609 3615
3610 3616 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3611 3617 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3612 3618 reported by Thorsten.
3613 3619
3614 3620 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3615 3621
3616 3622 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3617 3623 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3618 3624 for all examples and the manual as well.
3619 3625
3620 3626 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3621 3627
3622 3628 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3623 3629 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3624 3630 inherit from BasePrompt.
3625 3631
3626 3632 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3627 3633 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3628 3634
3629 3635 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3630 3636 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3631 3637 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3632 3638 defaults.
3633 3639 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3634 3640 this fix manually!
3635 3641
3636 3642 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3637 3643 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3638 3644 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3639 3645 distutils).
3640 3646
3641 3647 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3642 3648 usage of new '\D' escape.
3643 3649
3644 3650 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3645 3651 lacks os.getuid())
3646 3652 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3647 3653 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3648 3654 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3649 3655 handling mechanism.
3650 3656 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3651 3657 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3652 3658 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3653 3659 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3654 3660 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3655 3661 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3656 3662 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3657 3663
3658 3664 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3659 3665
3660 3666 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3661 3667 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3662 3668 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3663 3669
3664 3670 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3665 3671 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3666 3672 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3667 3673 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3668 3674 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3669 3675 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3670 3676 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3671 3677 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3672 3678
3673 3679 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3674 3680 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3675 3681 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3676 3682 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3677 3683 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3678 3684 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3679 3685 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3680 3686 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3681 3687
3682 3688 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3683 3689 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3684 3690 functions uniform.
3685 3691 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3686 3692
3687 3693 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3688 3694 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3689 3695 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3690 3696 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3691 3697 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3692 3698 use to parse their options.
3693 3699
3694 3700 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3695 3701 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3696 3702 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3697 3703
3698 3704 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3699 3705 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3700 3706 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3701 3707 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3702 3708 via the prompt_specials.
3703 3709
3704 3710 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3705 3711
3706 3712 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3707 3713 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3708 3714 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3709 3715 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3710 3716 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3711 3717 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3712 3718 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3713 3719 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3714 3720
3715 3721 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3716 3722
3717 3723 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3718 3724 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3719 3725 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3720 3726
3721 3727 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3722 3728
3723 3729 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3724 3730 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3725 3731
3726 3732 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3727 3733
3728 3734 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3729 3735 parens would get passed to the shell.
3730 3736
3731 3737 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3732 3738
3733 3739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3734 3740 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3735 3741
3736 3742 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3737 3743 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3738 3744 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3739 3745 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3740 3746 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3741 3747
3742 3748 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3743 3749 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3744 3750 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3745 3751 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3746 3752
3747 3753 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3748 3754
3749 3755 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3750 3756
3751 3757 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3752 3758 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3753 3759 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3754 3760
3755 3761 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3756 3762 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3757 3763 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3758 3764 official documentation.
3759 3765
3760 3766 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3761 3767
3762 3768 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3763 3769 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3764 3770 explicit filename.
3765 3771
3766 3772 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3767 3773
3768 3774 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3769 3775 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3770 3776 case.
3771 3777
3772 3778 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3773 3779 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3774 3780 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3775 3781
3776 3782 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3777 3783
3778 3784 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3779 3785
3780 3786 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3781 3787 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3782 3788 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3783 3789 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3784 3790 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3785 3791 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3786 3792 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3787 3793 any changes to python proper.
3788 3794
3789 3795 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3790 3796 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3791 3797 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3792 3798 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3793 3799 Schmolck.
3794 3800
3795 3801 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3796 3802
3797 3803 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3798 3804 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3799 3805 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3800 3806 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3801 3807
3802 3808 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3803 3809
3804 3810 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3805 3811 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3806 3812 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3807 3813 name).
3808 3814
3809 3815 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3810 3816 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3811 3817 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3812 3818 Francois Pinard.
3813 3819
3814 3820 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3815 3821
3816 3822 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3817 3823 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3818 3824 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3819 3825 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3820 3826 not work.
3821 3827
3822 3828 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3823 3829
3824 3830 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3825 3831 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3826 3832 distinguishes stdout/err.
3827 3833
3828 3834 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3829 3835 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3830 3836 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3831 3837 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3832 3838 the standard library.
3833 3839
3834 3840 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3835 3841 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3836 3842
3837 3843 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3838 3844 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3839 3845
3840 3846 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3841 3847
3842 3848 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3843 3849 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3844 3850 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3845 3851 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3846 3852 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3847 3853 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3848 3854
3849 3855 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3850 3856
3851 3857 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3852 3858 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3853 3859 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3854 3860 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3855 3861
3856 3862 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3857 3863
3858 3864 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3859 3865 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3860 3866 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3861 3867 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3862 3868
3863 3869 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3864 3870
3865 3871 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3866 3872 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3867 3873 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3868 3874 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3869 3875 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3870 3876 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3871 3877 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3872 3878 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3873 3879
3874 3880 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3875 3881
3876 3882 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3877 3883 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3878 3884
3879 3885 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3880 3886
3881 3887 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3882 3888 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3883 3889 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3884 3890 very short.
3885 3891
3886 3892 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3887 3893
3888 3894 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3889 3895 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3890 3896 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3891 3897 this before making it permanent.
3892 3898
3893 3899 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3894 3900 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3895 3901 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3896 3902 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3897 3903
3898 3904 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3899 3905
3900 3906 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3901 3907 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3902 3908
3903 3909 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3904 3910
3905 3911 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3906 3912 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3907 3913 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3908 3914 cases I've missed.
3909 3915
3910 3916 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3911 3917
3912 3918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3913 3919 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3914 3920 system would be triggered for @p.
3915 3921
3916 3922 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3917 3923 cleanups, code unmodified.
3918 3924
3919 3925 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3920 3926 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3921 3927 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3922 3928 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3923 3929 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3924 3930 The actual changes affect many files.
3925 3931
3926 3932 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3927 3933
3928 3934 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3929 3935 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3930 3936 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3931 3937
3932 3938 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3933 3939
3934 3940 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3935 3941 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3936 3942
3937 3943 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3938 3944
3939 3945 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3940 3946 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3941 3947 numpy list.
3942 3948
3943 3949 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3944 3950
3945 3951 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3946 3952 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3947 3953 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3948 3954 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3949 3955
3950 3956 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3957
3952 3958 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3953 3959 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3954 3960 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3955 3961 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3956 3962
3957 3963 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3958 3964 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3959 3965
3960 3966 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3961 3967
3962 3968 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3963 3969 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3964 3970 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3965 3971 Collins.
3966 3972
3967 3973 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3968 3974
3969 3975 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3970 3976
3971 3977 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3972 3978 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3973 3979 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3974 3980
3975 3981 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3976 3982
3977 3983 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3978 3984 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3979 3985 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3980 3986 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3981 3987
3982 3988 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3983 3989 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3984 3990 __getitem__ and __call__.
3985 3991
3986 3992 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3987 3993
3988 3994 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3989 3995
3990 3996 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3991 3997 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3992 3998 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3993 3999 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3994 4000
3995 4001 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3996 4002 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3997 4003 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3998 4004 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3999 4005 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4000 4006 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4001 4007 necessary.
4002 4008
4003 4009 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4004 4010 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4005 4011 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4006 4012
4007 4013 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4008 4014 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4009 4015 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4010 4016 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4011 4017
4012 4018 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4013 4019 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4014 4020 generators.
4015 4021
4016 4022 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4017 4023 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4018 4024 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4019 4025 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4020 4026 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4021 4027 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4022 4028 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4023 4029
4024 4030 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4025 4031 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4026 4032 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4027 4033 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4028 4034 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4029 4035
4030 4036 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4031 4037 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4032 4038 edit under some circumstances.
4033 4039 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4034 4040 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4035 4041 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4036 4042 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4037 4043 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4038 4044 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4039 4045 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4040 4046 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4041 4047 need more testing.
4042 4048
4043 4049 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4044 4050
4045 4051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4046 4052 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4047 4053 and simpler code.
4048 4054
4049 4055 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4050 4056
4051 4057 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4052 4058 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4053 4059 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4054 4060 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4055 4061 even if they were contiguous.
4056 4062 (l1norm): Added this function.
4057 4063 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4058 4064 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4059 4065 and speed.
4060 4066
4061 4067 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4062 4068
4063 4069 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4064 4070 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4065 4071 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4066 4072
4067 4073 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4074
4069 4075 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4070 4076 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4071 4077 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4072 4078
4073 4079 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4074 4080 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4075 4081 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4076 4082

4079 4085 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4080 4086 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4081 4087 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4082 4088 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4083 4089 activity.
4084 4090
4085 4091 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4086 4092
4087 4093 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4088 4094 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4089 4095 Numeric.identity)
4090 4096
4091 4097 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4092 4098
4093 4099 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4094 4100 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4095 4101 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4096 4102
4097 4103 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4104
4099 4105 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4100 4106 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4101 4107 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4102 4108 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4103 4109
4104 4110 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4105 4111 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4106 4112 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4107 4113 is implemented).
4108 4114
4109 4115 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4110 4116
4111 4117 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4112 4118 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4113 4119 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4114 4120
4115 4121 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4116 4122 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4117 4123 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4118 4124 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4119 4125 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4120 4126
4121 4127 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4122 4128
4123 4129 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4124 4130
4125 4131 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4126 4132 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4127 4133 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4128 4134
4129 4135 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4130 4136
4131 4137 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4132 4138 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4133 4139 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4134 4140
4135 4141 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4136 4142 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4137 4143 crash report from Prabhu.
4138 4144
4139 4145 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4140 4146
4141 4147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4142 4148 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4143 4149 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4144 4150 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4145 4151 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4146 4152 also be useful in other cases.
4147 4153
4148 4154 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4149 4155 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4150 4156 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4151 4157
4152 4158 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4153 4159
4154 4160 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4155 4161
4156 4162 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4157 4163 installing for a new user under Windows.
4158 4164
4159 4165 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4160 4166
4161 4167 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4162 4168 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4163 4169 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4164 4170 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4165 4171 there.
4166 4172
4167 4173 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4168 4174 info to crash reports.
4169 4175
4170 4176 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4171 4177 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4172 4178 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4173 4179 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4174 4180
4175 4181 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4176 4182
4177 4183 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4178 4184 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4179 4185 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4180 4186 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4181 4187
4182 4188 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4183 4189
4184 4190 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4185 4191 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4186 4192
4187 4193 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4188 4194
4189 4195 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4190 4196 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4191 4197
4192 4198 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4193 4199
4194 4200 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4195 4201
4196 4202 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4197 4203 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4198 4204 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4199 4205
4200 4206 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4201 4207 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4202 4208 with the new auto-indent option.
4203 4209
4204 4210 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4205 4211
4206 4212 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4207 4213 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4208 4214 this class from the main Shell class.
4209 4215
4210 4216 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4211 4217 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4212 4218 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4213 4219 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4214 4220 option).
4215 4221
4216 4222 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4217 4223 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4218 4224 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4219 4225 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4220 4226 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4221 4227
4222 4228 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4223 4229 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4224 4230 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4225 4231
4226 4232 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4227 4233 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4228 4234 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4229 4235 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4230 4236 tracebacks.
4231 4237
4232 4238 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4233 4239 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4234 4240 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4235 4241
4236 4242 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4237 4243
4238 4244 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4239 4245 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4240 4246 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4241 4247 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4242 4248
4243 4249 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4244 4250
4245 4251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4246 4252 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4247 4253 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4248 4254 for the bug report.
4249 4255
4250 4256 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4251 4257
4252 4258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4253 4259 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4254 4260 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4255 4261 report.
4256 4262
4257 4263 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4264
4259 4265 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4260 4266 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4261 4267 end).
4262 4268
4263 4269 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4264 4270 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4265 4271 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4266 4272
4267 4273 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4268 4274
4269 4275 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4270 4276 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4271 4277 for the patch.
4272 4278
4273 4279 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4274 4280
4275 4281 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4276 4282 functions.
4277 4283
4278 4284 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4279 4285
4280 4286 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4281 4287
4282 4288 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4283 4289 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4284 4290 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4285 4291 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4286 4292 private fix.
4287 4293
4288 4294 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4289 4295 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4290 4296 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4291 4297 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4292 4298 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4293 4299 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4294 4300 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4295 4301 fixed for this setup.
4296 4302
4297 4303 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4298 4304 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4299 4305
4300 4306 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4301 4307
4302 4308 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4303 4309
4304 4310 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4305 4311 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4306 4312 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4307 4313 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4308 4314 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4309 4315 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4310 4316 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4311 4317 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4312 4318 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4313 4319
4314 4320 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4315 4321 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4316 4322 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4317 4323
4318 4324 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4319 4325
4320 4326 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4321 4327
4322 4328 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4323 4329 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4324 4330 pickle-related issue in @run).
4325 4331
4326 4332 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4327 4333
4328 4334 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4329 4335 the autocall option at runtime.
4330 4336 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4331 4337 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4332 4338 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4333 4339 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4334 4340 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4335 4341 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4336 4342 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4337 4343 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4338 4344 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4339 4345 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4340 4346 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4341 4347 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4342 4348 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4343 4349 pickles to save something sensible.
4344 4350
4345 4351 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4346 4352
4347 4353 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4348 4354 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4349 4355 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4350 4356
4351 4357 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4352 4358
4353 4359 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4354 4360 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4355 4361
4356 4362 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4357 4363
4358 4364 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4359 4365 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4360 4366 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4361 4367 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4362 4368
4363 4369 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4364 4370
4365 4371 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4366 4372 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4367 4373 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4368 4374 array is non-contiguous.
4369 4375
4370 4376 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4371 4377
4372 4378 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4373 4379 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4374 4380 executed).
4375 4381 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4376 4382 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4377 4383 output.
4378 4384 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4379 4385 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4380 4386 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4381 4387 changing.
4382 4388
4383 4389 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4384 4390
4385 4391 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4386 4392
4387 4393 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4388 4394 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4389 4395 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4390 4396 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4391 4397 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4392 4398 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4393 4399 like a normal command-line.
4394 4400
4395 4401 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4396 4402 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4397 4403 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4398 4404 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4399 4405
4400 4406 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4401 4407
4402 4408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4403 4409 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4404 4410 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4405 4411 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4406 4412
4407 4413 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4408 4414
4409 4415 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4410 4416 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4411 4417 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4412 4418 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4413 4419 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4414 4420 think it's worth doing.

4418 4424 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4419 4425
4420 4426 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4421 4427 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4422 4428
4423 4429 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4424 4430 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4425 4431 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4426 4432 also work ok.

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

6293 6299 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6294 6300
6295 6301 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6296 6302
6297 6303 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6298 6304 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6299 6305
6300 6306 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6301 6307 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6302 6308 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6303 6309 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6304 6310 in with the next entry:
6305 6311
6306 6312 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6307 6313 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6308 6314 handling.
6309 6315
6310 6316 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6311 6317 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6312 6318 namespace protection and documentation.
6313 6319
6314 6320 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6315 6321
6316 6322 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6317 6323 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6318 6324
6319 6325 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6320 6326
6321 6327 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6322 6328
6323 6329 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6324 6330
6325 6331 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6326 6332 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6327 6333 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6328 6334 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6329 6335 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6330 6336
6331 6337 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6332 6338 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6333 6339 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6334 6340
6335 6341 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6336 6342
6337 6343 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6338 6344 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6339 6345
6340 6346 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6341 6347
6342 6348 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6343 6349
6344 6350 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6345 6351 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6346 6352 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6347 6353 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6348 6354 ScientificPython.
6349 6355
6350 6356 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6351 6357
6352 6358 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6353 6359 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6354 6360 when called with no args.
6355 6361
6356 6362 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6357 6363 closely.
6358 6364
6359 6365 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6360 6366 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6361 6367 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6362 6368 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6363 6369 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6364 6370
6365 6371 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6366 6372
6367 6373 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6368 6374 customizations there and access them via import.
6369 6375
6370 6376 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6371 6377
6372 6378 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6373 6379
6374 6380 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6375 6381 Nathan and Janko.
6376 6382
6377 6383 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6378 6384
6379 6385 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6380 6386 too long.
6381 6387
6382 6388 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6383 6389
6384 6390 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6385 6391 ?sin and sin?
6386 6392 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6387 6393 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6388 6394 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6389 6395 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6390 6396
6391 6397 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6392 6398
6393 6399 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6394 6400
6395 6401 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6396 6402 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6397 6403
6398 6404 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6399 6405 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6400 6406 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6401 6407 me).
6402 6408
6403 6409 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6404 6410 protected (reasonably).
6405 6411
6406 6412 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6407 6413 note through it (it was too long).
6408 6414
6409 6415 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6410 6416 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6411 6417 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6412 6418 parameters.
6413 6419
6414 6420
6415 6421 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6416 6422
6417 6423 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6418 6424 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6419 6425 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6420 6426
6421 6427 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6422 6428 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6423 6429 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6424 6430
6425 6431 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6426 6432
6427 6433 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6428 6434
6429 6435 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6430 6436
6431 6437 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6432 6438 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6433 6439 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6434 6440 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6435 6441 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6436 6442 break.
6437 6443
6438 6444 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6439 6445 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6440 6446 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6441 6447 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6442 6448 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6443 6449 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6444 6450
6445 6451 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6446 6452 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6447 6453 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6448 6454 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6449 6455 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6450 6456 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6451 6457 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6452 6458 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6453 6459 trick.
6454 6460
6455 6461 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6456 6462 session restoring.
6457 6463
6458 6464 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6459 6465 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6460 6466 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6461 6467 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6462 6468 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6463 6469
6464 6470 * Started ChangeLog.
