3 3 This module is a fork of the rlcompleter module in the Python standard
4 4 library. The original enhancements made to rlcompleter have been sent
5 5 upstream and were accepted as of Python 2.3, but we need a lot more
6 6 functionality specific to IPython, so this module will continue to live as an
7 7 IPython-specific utility.
8 8
9 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 10 Original rlcompleter documentation:
11 11
12 12 This requires the latest extension to the readline module (the
13 13 completes keywords, built-ins and globals in __main__; when completing
14 14 NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and
15 15 completes its attributes.
16 16
17 17 It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
18 18 completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
19 19 string module!
20 20
21 21 Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
22 22
23 23 readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
24 24
25 25 Notes:
26 26
27 27 - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and
28 28 generally cause the completion to fail). This is a feature -- since
29 29 readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a
30 30 traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save,
31 31 reset and restore the tty state.
32 32
33 33 - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary
34 34 application defined code to be executed if an object with a
35 35 __getattr__ hook is found. Since it is the responsibility of the
36 36 application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
37 37 acceptable risk. More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
38 38 indexing operations) are *not* evaluated.
39 39
40 40 - GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
41 41 raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the completer
42 42 features. Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
43 43 specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
44 44 its input.
45 45
46 46 - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
47 47 used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.

3 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
4 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
5 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
6 ipy_stock_completers.
7
1 8 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2 9
3 10 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
4 11
5 12 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
6 13 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
7 14 when filtering possible completions.
8 15
9 16 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
10 17
11 18 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
12 19 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
13 20 function

17 24
18 25 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
19 26 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
20 27 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
21 28 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
22 29 SVN completer.
23 30
24 31 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
25 32 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
26 33 name is %led.
27 34
28 35 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
29 36
30 37 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
31 38 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
32 39 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
33 40
34 41 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
35 42 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
36 43 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
37 44 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
38 45 hook name is 'complete_command'.

43 50 Numeric leftovers.
44 51
45 52 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
46 53 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
47 54
48 55 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
49 56 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
50 57
51 58 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
52 59 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
53 60
54 61 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
55 62 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
56 63 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
57 64
58 65 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
59 66
60 67 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
61 68 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
62 69 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
63 70
64 71 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
65 72 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
66 73
67 74 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
68 75
69 76 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
70 77 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
71 78 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
72 79
73 80 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
74 81
75 82 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
76 83 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
77 84 internal crash handler.
78 85
79 86 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
80 87 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
81 88 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
82 89 at the request of SAGE.
83 90
84 91 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
85 92
86 93 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
87 94 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
88 95
89 96 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
90 97 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
91 98 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
92 99 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
93 100
94 101 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
95 102 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
96 103 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
97 104
98 105 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
99 106
100 107 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
101 108 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
102 109 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
103 110
104 111 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
105 112 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
106 113
107 114 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
108 115
109 116 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
110 117 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
111 118 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
112 119 Stefan.
113 120
114 121 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
115 122
116 123 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
117 124 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
118 125 sys.stdout.close().
119 126
120 127 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
121 128
122 129 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
123 130 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
124 131 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
125 132 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
126 133
127 134 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
128 135 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
129 136 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
130 137
131 138 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
132 139 2.5.
133 140
134 141 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
135 142 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
136 143 interactively.
137 144
138 145 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
139 146
140 147 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
141 148 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
142 149
143 150 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
144 151
145 152 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
146 153 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
147 154 or only files.
148 155
149 156 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
150 157
151 158 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
152 159 they broke unittest
153 160
154 161 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

156 163 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
157 164 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
158 165 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
159 166 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
160 167
161 168 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
162 169
163 170 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
164 171 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
165 172 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
166 173 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
167 174 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
168 175
169 176 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
170 177
171 178 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
172 179 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
173 180
174 181 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
175 182
176 183 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
177 184 the mode argument).
178 185
179 186 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
180 187
181 188 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
182 189 not running under IPython.
183 190
184 191 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
185 192 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
186 193 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
187 194 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
188 195 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
189 196 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
190 197 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
191 198 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
192 199 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
193 200 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
194 201 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
195 202 are still supported.
196 203
197 204 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
198 205 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
199 206 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
200 207 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
201 208
202 209 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
203 210 encoding into methods.
204 211
205 212 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
206 213
207 214 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
208 215 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
209 216
210 217 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
211 218
212 219 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
213 220 non existing attributes.
214 221
215 222 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
216 223
217 224 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
218 225 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
219 226
220 227 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
221 228
222 229 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
223 230 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
224 231
225 232 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
226 233
227 234 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
228 235 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
229 236 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
230 237
231 238 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
232 239
233 240 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
234 241 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
235 242 Stefan van der Walt.
236 243
237 244 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
238 245
239 246 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
240 247 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
241 248
242 249 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
243 250
244 251 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
245 252 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
246 253 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
247 254
248 255 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 256
250 257 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
251 258 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
252 259 attributes.
253 260
254 261 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
255 262
256 263 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
257 264 commands into the methods implementing them.
258 265
259 266 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
260 267
261 268 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
262 269 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
263 270 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
264 271
265 272 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
266 273
267 274 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
268 275 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
269 276
270 277 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
271 278
272 279 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
273 280 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
274 281
275 282 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
276 283
277 284 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
278 285 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
279 286 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
280 287 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
281 288 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
282 289 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
283 290 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
284 291 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
285 292 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
286 293 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
287 294 the x key to "delete".
288 295
289 296 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
290 297
291 298 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
292 299 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
293 300 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
294 301 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
295 302
296 303 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
297 304 prompt
298 305
299 306 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
300 307
301 308 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
302 309
303 310 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
304 311 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
305 312 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
306 313 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
307 314
308 315 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
309 316
310 317 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
311 318 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
312 319 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
313 320 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
314 321 doesn't work properly yet.
315 322
316 323 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
317 324
318 325 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
319 326 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
320 327 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
321 328
322 329 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
323 330
324 331 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
325 332 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
326 333 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
327 334 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
328 335 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
329 336 execute commands.
330 337
331 338 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
332 339
333 340 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
334 341 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
335 342
336 343 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
337 344
338 345 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
339 346 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
340 347
341 348 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
342 349
343 350 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
344 351 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
345 352 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
346 353
347 354 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
348 355
349 356 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
350 357
351 358 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
352 359 Repo tagged and release cut.
353 360
354 361 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
355 362
356 363 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
357 364 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
358 365
359 366 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
360 367 (for %upgrade)
361 368
362 369 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
363 370
364 371 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
365 372 instead of looping 20 times.
366 373
367 374 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
368 375 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
369 376 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
370 377
371 378 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
372 379 testing for release on 06/06.
373 380
374 381 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
375 382
376 383 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
377 384 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
378 385 live in people's PATH.
379 386
380 387 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
381 388 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
382 389 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
383 390 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
384 391 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
385 392
386 393 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
387 394 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
388 395
389 396 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
390 397
391 398 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
392 399 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
393 400
394 401 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
395 402
396 403 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
397 404 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
398 405 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
399 406
400 407 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
401 408
402 409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
403 410 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
404 411 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
405 412 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
406 413
407 414 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
408 415 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
409 416 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
410 417 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
411 418
412 419 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
413 420 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
414 421 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
415 422 work.
416 423
417 424 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
418 425
419 426 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
420 427 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
421 428
422 429 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
423 430 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
424 431 author William Stein.
425 432
426 433 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
427 434 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
428 435 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
429 436 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
430 437 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
431 438 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
432 439 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
433 440 objects more easily.
434 441
435 442 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
436 443
437 444 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
438 445 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
439 446 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
440 447 by Jeffrey Collins.
441 448
442 449 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
443 450 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
444 451 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
445 452 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
446 453
447 454 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
448 455 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
449 456 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
450 457 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
451 458
452 459 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
453 460 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
454 461 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
455 462 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
456 463 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
457 464 compatibility)
458 465
459 466 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
460 467 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
461 468 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
462 469
463 470 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
464 471 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
465 472 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
466 473 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
467 474 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
468 475
469 476 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
470 477 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
471 478 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
472 479
473 480 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
474 481 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
475 482 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
476 483 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
477 484 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
478 485 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
479 486 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
480 487
481 488 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
482 489 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
483 490 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
484 491
485 492 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
486 493 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
487 494 it is a real module. Closes #59.
488 495
489 496 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
490 497 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
491 498
492 499 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
493 500
494 501 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
495 502 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
496 503 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
497 504 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
498 505 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
499 506 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
500 507 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
501 508 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
502 509 while running under SAGE.
503 510
504 511 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
505 512
506 513 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
507 514 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
508 515 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
509 516 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
510 517
511 518 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
512 519
513 520 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
514 521 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
515 522 updated.
516 523
517 524 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
518 525 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
519 526 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
520 527 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
521 528 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
522 529
523 530 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
524 531 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
525 532 so more testing is needed...
526 533
527 534 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
528 535
529 536 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
530 537 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
531 538 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
532 539 when doing complex debugging.
533 540 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
534 541 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
535 542 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
536 543 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
537 544
538 545 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
539 546
540 547 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
541 548 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
542 549 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
543 550 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
544 551
545 552 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
546 553
547 554 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
548 555 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
549 556
550 557 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
551 558
552 559 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
553 560 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
554 561 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
555 562 been the one to acquire it.
556 563
557 564 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
558 565
559 566 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
560 567
561 568 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
562 569
563 570 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
564 571 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
565 572 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
566 573
567 574 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
568 575 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
569 576 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
570 577 properly flush the output cache.
571 578
572 579 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
573 580 half-success (and fail explicitly).
574 581
575 582 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
576 583
577 584 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
578 585 are quoted
579 586
580 587 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
581 588
582 589 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
583 590 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
584 591
585 592 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
586 593 separator, since space is legal in path names.
587 594
588 595 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
589 596
590 597 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
591 598 %upgrade magic
592 599
593 600 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
594 601
595 602 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
596 603 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
597 604 reported by Zachary Pincus.
598 605
599 606 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
600 607
601 608 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
602 609 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
603 610
604 611 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
605 612 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
606 613 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
607 614 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
608 615 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
609 616
610 617 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
611 618
612 619 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
613 620 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
614 621
615 622 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
616 623
617 624 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
618 625 Torsten Marek.
619 626
620 627 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
621 628
622 629 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
623 630 line ranges works again.
624 631
625 632 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
626 633
627 634 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
628 635 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
629 636 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
630 637 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
631 638 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
632 639
633 640 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
634 641 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
635 642 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
636 643 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
637 644 more.
638 645
639 646 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
640 647
641 648 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
642 649 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
643 650
644 651 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
645 652
646 653 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
647 654 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
648 655
649 656 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
650 657
651 658 * Magic.py: %save works again.
652 659
653 660 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
654 661
655 662 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
656 663
657 664 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
658 665 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
659 666 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
660 667
661 668 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
662 669
663 670 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
664 671 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
665 672 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
666 673 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
667 674
668 675 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
669 676 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
670 677
671 678 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
672 679 contributed by marienz to close
673 680 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
674 681
675 682 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
676 683
677 684 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
678 685
679 686 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
680 687 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
681 688 nonsense.
682 689
683 690 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
684 691
685 692 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
686 693 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
687 694
688 695 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
689 696
690 697 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
691 698
692 699 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
693 700 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
694 701
695 702 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
696 703
697 704 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
698 705 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
699 706 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
700 707 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
701 708 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
702 709 SAGE team.
703 710 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
704 711 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
705 712
706 713 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
707 714 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
708 715 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
709 716 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
710 717 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
711 718
712 719 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
713 720
714 721 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
715 722 correctly now (on Linux)
716 723
717 724 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
718 725 warnings
719 726
720 727 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
721 728
722 729 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
723 730
724 731
725 732 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
726 733
727 734 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
728 735 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
729 736 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
730 737 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
731 738 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
732 739 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
733 740 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
734 741 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
735 742
736 743 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
737 744
738 745 * aliases can now be %store'd
739 746
740 747 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
741 748 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
742 749 at __init__.
743 750
744 751 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
745 752 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
746 753
747 754 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
748 755
749 756 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
750 757 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
751 758 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
752 759
753 760 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
754 761
755 762 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
756 763
757 764 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
758 765
759 766 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
760 767 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
761 768 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
762 769 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
763 770
764 771 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
765 772 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
766 773
767 774 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
768 775
769 776 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
770 777 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
771 778 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
772 779 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
773 780
774 781 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
775 782 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
776 783 usage.
777 784
778 785 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
779 786 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
780 787 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
781 788
782 789 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
783 790
784 791 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
785 792 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
786 793
787 794 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
788 795 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
789 796 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
790 797
791 798 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
792 799
793 800 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
794 801
795 802 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
796 803
797 804 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
798 805 are now more helpful:
799 806 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
800 807
801 808 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
802 809
803 810 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
804 811 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
805 812
806 813 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
807 814
808 815 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
809 816 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
810 817
811 818 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
812 819 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
813 820 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
814 821
815 822 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
816 823
817 824
818 825 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
819 826
820 827 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
821 828 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
822 829
823 830 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
824 831
825 832 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
826 833 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
827 834 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
828 835 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
829 836 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
830 837 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
831 838
832 839 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
833 840
834 841 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
835 842 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
836 843 \python24\scripts).
837 844
838 845 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
839 846 egg.
840 847
841 848 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
842 849
843 850 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
844 851
845 852 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
846 853
847 854 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
848 855
849 856 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
850 857
851 858 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
852 859 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
853 860 \python24\scripts).
854 861
855 862 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
856 863 egg.
857 864
858 865 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
859 866
860 867 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
861 868 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
862 869 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
863 870
864 871 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
865 872 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
866 873 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
867 874 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
868 875
869 876 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
870 877 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
871 878 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
872 879 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
873 880 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
874 881 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
875 882 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
876 883 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
877 884 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
878 885 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
879 886 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
880 887 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
881 888
882 889 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
883 890
884 891 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
885 892 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
886 893 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
887 894 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
888 895
889 896 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
890 897
891 898 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
892 899 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
893 900 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
894 901 importing extensions easy.
895 902
896 903 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
897 904 classes / instances of those classes.
898 905
899 906 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
900 907 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
901 908 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
902 909 the user.
903 910
904 911 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
905 912 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
906 913 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
907 914
908 915 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
909 916
910 917 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
911 918 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
912 919 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
913 920 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
914 921 others may also catch any problems. Also made
915 922 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
916 923 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
917 924 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
918 925 the method.
919 926
920 927 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
921 928
922 929 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
923 930 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
924 931
925 932 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
926 933
927 934 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
928 935 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
929 936 Vivian.
930 937
931 938 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
932 939 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
933 940 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
934 941 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
935 942 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
936 943
937 944 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
938 945
939 946 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
940 947 that returns file contents on exit.
941 948
942 949 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
943 950 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
944 951 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
945 952 sc files=ls
946 953 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
947 954 print p,p.mtime
948 955
949 956 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
950 957 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
951 958 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
952 959 instead of syntax error.
953 960
954 961
955 962 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
956 963
957 964 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
958 965 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
959 966 data.
960 967
961 968 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
962 969 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
963 970 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
964 971 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
965 972
966 973 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
967 974 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
968 975 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
969 976 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
970 977 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
971 978 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
972 979
973 980 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
974 981
975 982 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
976 983 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
977 984 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
978 985 current dir.
979 986
980 987 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
981 988 had to create new files.
982 989
983 990 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
984 991 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
985 992 future.
986 993
987 994 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
988 995 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
989 996 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
990 997
991 998
992 999 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
993 1000
994 1001 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
995 1002 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
996 1003 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
997 1004 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
998 1005 later.
999 1006
1000 1007 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1001 1008 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1002 1009
1003 1010 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1004 1011
1005 1012 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1006 1013 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1007 1014 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1008 1015 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1009 1016 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1010 1017 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1011 1018
1012 1019 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1013 1020
1014 1021 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1015 1022 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1016 1023 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1017 1024 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1018 1025 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1019 1026 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1020 1027 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1021 1028 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1022 1029 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1023 1030 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1024 1031
1025 1032 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1026 1033 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1027 1034 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1028 1035 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1029 1036
1030 1037 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1031 1038 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1032 1039 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1033 1040 "setup.py install" between changes).
1034 1041
1035 1042 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1036 1043 if 1:
1037 1044 !ls
1038 1045 !!ls
1039 1046
1040 1047 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1041 1048
1042 1049 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1043 1050 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1044 1051 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1045 1052 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1046 1053
1047 1054 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1048 1055 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1049 1056 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1050 1057
1051 1058 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1052 1059
1053 1060 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1054 1061 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1055 1062 win32.
1056 1063
1057 1064 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1058 1065
1059 1066 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1060 1067
1061 1068 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1062 1069 ready for release.
1063 1070
1064 1071 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1065 1072 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1066 1073 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1067 1074 where to copy the info from.
1068 1075
1069 1076 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1070 1077
1071 1078 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1072 1079 support in the release tools as well.
1073 1080
1074 1081 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1075 1082
1076 1083 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1077 1084 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1078 1085 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1079 1086 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1080 1087
1081 1088 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1082 1089 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1083 1090 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1084 1091
1085 1092 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1086 1093 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1087 1094
1088 1095 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1089 1096 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1090 1097 printer not to work.
1091 1098
1092 1099 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1093 1100
1094 1101 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1095 1102 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1096 1103
1097 1104 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1098 1105
1099 1106 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1100 1107 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1101 1108 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1102 1109
1103 1110 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1104 1111 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1105 1112 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1106 1113
1107 1114 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1108 1115 Ville's patch.
1109 1116
1110 1117 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1111 1118
1112 1119 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1113 1120 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1114 1121 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1115 1122 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1116 1123 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1117 1124 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1118 1125 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1119 1126
1120 1127 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1121 1128 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1122 1129 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1123 1130
1124 1131 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1125 1132
1126 1133 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1127 1134 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1128 1135
1129 1136 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1130 1137 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1131 1138 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1132 1139 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1133 1140 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1134 1141 twister).
1135 1142
1136 1143 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1137 1144 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1138 1145 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1139 1146
1140 1147 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1141 1148 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1142 1149 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1143 1150 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1144 1151 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1145 1152 something inside the dis module.
1146 1153
1147 1154 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1148 1155
1149 1156 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1150 1157 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1151 1158 follows the discussion in
1152 1159 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1153 1160
1154 1161 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1155 1162 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1156 1163 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1157 1164
1158 1165 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1159 1166 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1160 1167 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1161 1168
1162 1169 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1163 1170 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1164 1171 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1165 1172 speed up this routine.
1166 1173
1167 1174 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1168 1175 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1169 1176 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1170 1177 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1171 1178 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1172 1179 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1173 1180 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1174 1181 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1175 1182
1176 1183 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1177 1184 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1178 1185 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1179 1186
1180 1187 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1181 1188 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1182 1189 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1183 1190 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1184 1191 setters don't do anything).
1185 1192
1186 1193 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1187 1194
1188 1195 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1189 1196 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1190 1197 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1191 1198 falling out of sync...)
1192 1199
1193 1200 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1194 1201 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1195 1202 as loops).
1196 1203
1197 1204 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1198 1205 win32 system access.
1199 1206
1200 1207 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1201 1208
1202 1209 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1203 1210 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1204 1211 thread-safe.
1205 1212 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1206 1213 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1207 1214 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1208 1215 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1209 1216 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1210 1217 can still happen.
1211 1218 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1212 1219 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1213 1220 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1214 1221 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1215 1222 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1216 1223 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1217 1224 cleanly.
1218 1225
1219 1226 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1220 1227 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1221 1228 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1222 1229 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1223 1230 users' persisted data.
1224 1231
1225 1232 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1226 1233 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1227 1234 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1228 1235 multiline input (such as macros).
1229 1236
1230 1237 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1231 1238 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1232 1239 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1233 1240 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1234 1241 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1235 1242 informative).
1236 1243
1237 1244 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1238 1245 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1239 1246
1240 1247 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1241 1248 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1242 1249 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1243 1250
1244 1251 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1245 1252 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1246 1253 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1247 1254 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1248 1255 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1249 1256 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1250 1257 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1251 1258 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1252 1259 details.
1253 1260
1254 1261 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1255 1262 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1256 1263 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1257 1264 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1258 1265 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1259 1266
1260 1267 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1261 1268 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1262 1269 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1263 1270 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1264 1271 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1265 1272
1266 1273 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1267 1274 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1268 1275 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1269 1276 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1270 1277 options to %logstart. Closes
1271 1278 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1272 1279 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1273 1280
1274 1281 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1275 1282
1276 1283 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1277 1284 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1278 1285 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1279 1286 list:
1280 1287 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1281 1288
1282 1289 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1283 1290
1284 1291 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1285 1292 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1286 1293 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1287 1294 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1288 1295
1289 1296 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1290 1297 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1291 1298 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1292 1299 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1293 1300 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1294 1301
1295 1302 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1296 1303 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1297 1304 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1298 1305 true by default.
1299 1306
1300 1307 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1301 1308 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1302 1309 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1303 1310 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1304 1311
1305 1312 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1306 1313
1307 1314 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1308 1315 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1309 1316 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1310 1317 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1311 1318 version committed).
1312 1319
1313 1320 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1314 1321 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1315 1322 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1316 1323 discussion on the user list.
1317 1324
1318 1325 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1319 1326 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1320 1327 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1321 1328 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1322 1329
1323 1330 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1324 1331
1325 1332 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1326 1333 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1327 1334 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1328 1335
1329 1336 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1330 1337 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1331 1338 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1332 1339
1333 1340 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1334 1341 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1335 1342 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1336 1343 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1337 1344 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1338 1345 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1339 1346 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1340 1347 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1341 1348 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1342 1349 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1343 1350 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1344 1351 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1345 1352 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1346 1353 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1347 1354 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1348 1355 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1349 1356 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1350 1357 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1351 1358 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1352 1359 branch refactoring.
1353 1360
1354 1361 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1355 1362
1356 1363 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1357 1364 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1358 1365
1359 1366 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1360 1367 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1361 1368 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1362 1369 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1363 1370 worked correctly).
1364 1371
1365 1372 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1366 1373 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1367 1374 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1368 1375
1369 1376 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1370 1377
1371 1378 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1372 1379 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1373 1380 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1374 1381 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1375 1382 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1376 1383 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1377 1384 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1378 1385 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1379 1386
1380 1387 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1381 1388
1382 1389 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1383 1390 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1384 1391 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1385 1392 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1386 1393 on this.
1387 1394
1388 1395 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1389 1396
1390 1397 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1391 1398 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1392 1399 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1393 1400 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1394 1401 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1395 1402
1396 1403 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1397 1404
1398 1405 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1399 1406 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1400 1407 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1401 1408 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1402 1409
1403 1410 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1404 1411
1405 1412 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1406 1413 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1407 1414 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1408 1415
1409 1416 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1410 1417
1411 1418 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1412 1419 startup time.
1413 1420
1414 1421 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1415 1422 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1416 1423 it's working in all cases.
1417 1424
1418 1425 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1419 1426 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1420 1427 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1421 1428 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1422 1429 per-search basis.
1423 1430
1424 1431 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1425 1432
1426 1433 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1427 1434 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1428 1435 of a patch by Jorgen.
1429 1436
1430 1437 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1431 1438
1432 1439 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1433 1440 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1434 1441 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1435 1442
1436 1443 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1437 1444
1438 1445 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1439 1446 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1440 1447 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1441 1448 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1442 1449
1443 1450 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1444 1451
1445 1452 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1446 1453 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1447 1454 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1448 1455 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1449 1456 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1450 1457 implementing this functionality.
1451 1458
1452 1459 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1453 1460
1454 1461 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1455 1462 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1456 1463 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1457 1464 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1458 1465 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1459 1466 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1460 1467 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1461 1468
1462 1469 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1463 1470
1464 1471 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1465 1472 reported by Stephen Walton.
1466 1473
1467 1474 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1468 1475
1469 1476 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1470 1477
1471 1478 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1472 1479 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1473 1480
1474 1481 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1475 1482
1476 1483 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1477 1484 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1478 1485
1479 1486 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1480 1487 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1481 1488
1482 1489 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1483 1490
1484 1491 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1485 1492 finishing.
1486 1493
1487 1494 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1488 1495 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1489 1496
1490 1497 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1491 1498 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1492 1499 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1493 1500
1494 1501 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1495 1502 code, handy in general.
1496 1503
1497 1504 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1498 1505 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1499 1506 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1500 1507
1501 1508 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1502 1509
1503 1510 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1504 1511 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1505 1512 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1506 1513 testing, though.
1507 1514 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1508 1515 like this before...
1509 1516
1510 1517 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1511 1518 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1512 1519
1513 1520 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1514 1521 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1515 1522
1516 1523 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1517 1524
1518 1525 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1519 1526 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1520 1527 F. Mantegazza.
1521 1528
1522 1529 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1523 1530
1524 1531 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1525 1532 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1526 1533 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1527 1534
1528 1535 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1529 1536 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1530 1537 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1531 1538 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1532 1539 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1533 1540 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1534 1541
1535 1542 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1536 1543
1537 1544 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1538 1545 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1539 1546 beyond readline-based environments.
1540 1547
1541 1548 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1542 1549
1543 1550 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1544 1551
1545 1552 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1546 1553 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1547 1554 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1548 1555 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1549 1556 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1550 1557
1551 1558 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1552 1559
1553 1560 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1554 1561 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1555 1562 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1556 1563
1557 1564 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1558 1565
1559 1566 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1560 1567
1561 1568 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1562 1569
1563 1570 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1564 1571 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1565 1572 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1566 1573 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1567 1574 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1568 1575 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1569 1576
1570 1577 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1571 1578
1572 1579 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1573 1580
1574 1581 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1575 1582
1576 1583 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1577 1584 invalid $HOME under win32.
1578 1585
1579 1586 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1580 1587
1581 1588 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1582 1589 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1583 1590 simpler and a bit faster.
1584 1591
1585 1592 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1586 1593 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1587 1594 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1588 1595 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1589 1596 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1590 1597
1591 1598 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1592 1599 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1593 1600 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1594 1601
1595 1602 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1596 1603 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1597 1604
1598 1605 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1599 1606 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1600 1607 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1601 1608 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1602 1609 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1603 1610 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1604 1611 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1605 1612
1606 1613 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1607 1614
1608 1615 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1609 1616
1610 1617 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1611 1618
1612 1619 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1613 1620 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
1614 1621
1615 1622 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1616 1623
1617 1624 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1618 1625 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1619 1626 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1620 1627 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1621 1628 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1622 1629 for the contribution.
1623 1630
1624 1631 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1625 1632 slightly modified version of the patch in
1626 1633 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1627 1634 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1628 1635 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
1629 1636
1630 1637 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1631 1638
1632 1639 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1633 1640 I/O a bit more.
1634 1641
1635 1642 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1636 1643 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
1637 1644
1638 1645 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
1639 1646
1640 1647 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1641 1648
1642 1649 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1643 1650 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1644 1651 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1645 1652 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1646 1653
1647 1654 readline_remove_delims -/~

1653 1660
1654 1661 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
1655 1662 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
1656 1663 <eli@gondolin.net>
1657 1664
1658 1665 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1659 1666
1660 1667 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
1661 1668 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.

1663 1670 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1664 1671
1665 1672 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1666 1673 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1667 1674 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.

1670 1677
1671 1678 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1672 1679 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1673 1680
1674 1681 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1675 1682
1676 1683 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1677 1684 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1678 1685
1679 1686 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1680 1687 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1681 1688 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1682 1689 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1683 1690 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1684 1691 for more details.
1685 1692
1686 1693 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1687 1694 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1688 1695 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1689 1696 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.

1691 1698 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1692 1699
1693 1700 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1694 1701 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1695 1702 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1696 1703 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1697 1704 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1698 1705
1699 1706 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1700 1707 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1701 1708 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1702 1709
1703 1710 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1704 1711
1705 1712 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.

1707 1714 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1708 1715
1709 1716 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1710 1717 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1711 1718 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1712 1719 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1713 1720 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1714 1721
1715 1722 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1716 1723
1717 1724 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1718 1725
1719 1726 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1720 1727 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1721 1728 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1722 1729 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1723 1730 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1724 1731
1725 1732 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1726 1733 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1727 1734 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1728 1735 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1729 1736 take the text parameter.
1730 1737
1731 1738 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1732 1739 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1733 1740 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1734 1741 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1735 1742 pysh profile to include the line
1736 1743
1737 1744 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1738 1745
1739 1746 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1740 1747 delete pysh.py and the line
1741 1748
1742 1749 execfile pysh.py
1743 1750
1744 1751 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1745 1752
1746 1753 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1747 1754 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1748 1755 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1749 1756 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1750 1757 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1751 1758
1752 1759 * pysh.py:
1753 1760
1754 1761 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1755 1762
1756 1763 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1757 1764 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1758 1765 want it can still turn it off.
1759 1766
1760 1767 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1761 1768 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1762 1769 off by default.
1763 1770
1764 1771 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1765 1772 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1766 1773 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1767 1774 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1768 1775 calls.
1769 1776
1770 1777 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1771 1778
1772 1779 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1773 1780 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1774 1781 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1775 1782
1776 1783 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1777 1784
1778 1785 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1779 1786 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1780 1787 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1781 1788 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1782 1789
1783 1790 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1784 1791 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1785 1792 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1786 1793 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1787 1794
1788 1795 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1789 1796
1790 1797 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1791 1798 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1792 1799
1793 1800 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1794 1801 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1795 1802 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1796 1803 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1797 1804 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1798 1805 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1799 1806 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1800 1807 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1801 1808
1802 1809 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1803 1810
1804 1811 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1805 1812 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1806 1813 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1807 1814 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1808 1815 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1809 1816 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1810 1817 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1811 1818 add new completers at runtime.
1812 1819
1813 1820 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1814 1821
1815 1822 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1816 1823 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1817 1824 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1818 1825 ? system.
1819 1826
1820 1827 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1821 1828 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1822 1829 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1823 1830 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1824 1831 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1825 1832 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1826 1833 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1827 1834 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1828 1835
1829 1836 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1830 1837
1831 1838 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1832 1839 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1833 1840 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1834 1841 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1835 1842 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1836 1843
1837 1844 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1838 1845 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1839 1846 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1840 1847 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1841 1848 add:
1842 1849
1843 1850 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1844 1851 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
1845 1852
1846 1853 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1847 1854
1848 1855 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1849 1856 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1850 1857 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1851 1858 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1852 1859
1853 1860 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1854 1861 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1855 1862 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1856 1863 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1857 1864 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1858 1865 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1859 1866 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1860 1867 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1861 1868 further, simply bind them to any other name.
1862 1869
1863 1870 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1864 1871
1865 1872 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1866 1873 prompt namespace handling.
1867 1874
1868 1875 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1869 1876
1870 1877 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1871 1878 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1872 1879 trips the emacs python mode).
1873 1880 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1874 1881 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1875 1882 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1876 1883 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1877 1884 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1878 1885 calls will be made at runtime.
1879 1886
1880 1887 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1881 1888
1882 1889 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1883 1890 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1884 1891 the call to %history.
1885 1892

1888 1895 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1889 1896
1890 1897 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1891 1898 ipmagic() function calls.
1892 1899
1893 1900 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1894 1901 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1895 1902
1896 1903 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1897 1904
1898 1905 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1899 1906 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1900 1907 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1901 1908 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1902 1909 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1903 1910 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
1904 1911 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
1905 1912 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
1906 1913
1907 1914 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1908 1915
1909 1916 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
1910 1917 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
1911 1918 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
1912 1919 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
1913 1920 Ville Vainio.

1915 1922 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1916 1923
1917 1924 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
1918 1925 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
1919 1926 define the ones they personally like.
1920 1927
1921 1928 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1922 1929
1923 1930 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
1924 1931 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
1925 1932
1926 1933 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1927 1934
1928 1935 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
1929 1936 into keys (for prompts, for example).
1930 1937
1931 1938 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
1932 1939 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
1933 1940 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
1934 1941 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
1935 1942 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
1936 1943 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
1937 1944 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
1938 1945 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
1939 1946
1940 1947 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
1941 1948 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
1942 1949 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
1943 1950 modified version of the original Debian patch at
1944 1951 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

1949 1956 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
1950 1957 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
1951 1958
1952 1959 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
1953 1960 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
1954 1961 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
1955 1962

1957 1964
1958 1965 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1959 1966
1960 1967 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
1961 1968 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
1962 1969 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
1963 1970 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
1964 1971 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
1965 1972 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
1966 1973 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
1967 1974 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
1968 1975 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
1969 1976 system is a separate implementation).
1970 1977
1971 1978 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
1972 1979 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
1973 1980 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
1974 1981 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
1975 1982 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
1976 1983 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
1977 1984 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
1978 1985 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
1979 1986 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
1980 1987 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
1981 1988 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

1984 1991
1985 1992 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
1986 1993 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
1987 1994 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
1988 1995 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
1989 1996 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
1990 1997 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
1991 1998 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
1992 1999 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

1994 2001 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1995 2002
1996 2003 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
1997 2004 previous call produced a syntax error.
1998 2005
1999 2006 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2000 2007 classes without constructor.
2001 2008
2002 2009 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2003 2010
2004 2011 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2005 2012 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2006 2013 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2007 2014 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2008 2015 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2009 2016 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2010 2017 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2011 2018
2012 2019 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2013 2020
2014 2021 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2015 2022 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2016 2023
2017 2024 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2018 2025
2019 2026 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2020 2027 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2021 2028 optimizations.
2022 2029
2023 2030 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2024 2031 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2025 2032
2026 2033 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2027 2034
2028 2035 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2029 2036 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2030 2037 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2031 2038 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2032 2039 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2033 2040 avoid annoying the lists further.
2034 2041
2035 2042 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2036 2043
2037 2044 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2038 2045
2039 2046 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2040 2047 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2041 2048 norm definitions.
2042 2049 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2043 2050 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2044 2051 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2045 2052
2046 2053 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2047 2054 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2048 2055 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2049 2056 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2050 2057 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2051 2058
2052 2059 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2053 2060 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2054 2061 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2055 2062 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2056 2063
2057 2064 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2058 2065 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2059 2066 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2060 2067 fixes.
2061 2068
2062 2069 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2063 2070 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2064 2071 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2065 2072 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2066 2073 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2067 2074 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2068 2075 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2069 2076
2070 2077 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2071 2078
2072 2079 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2073 2080
2074 2081 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2075 2082 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2076 2083 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2077 2084 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2078 2085 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2079 2086 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2080 2087 Panel.
2081 2088
2082 2089 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2083 2090 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2084 2091 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2085 2092 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2086 2093 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2087 2094
2088 2095 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2089 2096
2090 2097 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2091 2098 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2092 2099
2093 2100 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2094 2101
2095 2102 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2096 2103
2097 2104 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2098 2105 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2099 2106 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2100 2107 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2101 2108 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2102 2109 python shell.
2103 2110
2104 2111 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2105 2112 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2106 2113 on assignments. This closes
2107 2114 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2108 2115 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2109 2116 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2110 2117
2111 2118 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2112 2119
2113 2120 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2114 2121 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2115 2122
2116 2123 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2117 2124
2118 2125 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2119 2126
2120 2127 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2121 2128 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2122 2129
2123 2130 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2124 2131
2125 2132 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2126 2133 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2127 2134 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2128 2135
2129 2136 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2130 2137
2131 2138 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2132 2139 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2133 2140 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2134 2141
2135 2142 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2136 2143
2137 2144 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2138 2145 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2139 2146 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2140 2147
2141 2148 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2142 2149 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2143 2150 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2144 2151
2145 2152 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2146 2153
2147 2154 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2148 2155 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2149 2156
2150 2157 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2151 2158
2152 2159 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2153 2160 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2154 2161 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2155 2162
2156 2163 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2157 2164
2158 2165 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2159 2166 reported by Prabhu.
2160 2167 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2161 2168 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2162 2169 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2163 2170
2164 2171 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2165 2172 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2166 2173
2167 2174 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2168 2175 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2169 2176 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2170 2177 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2171 2178 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2172 2179 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2173 2180
2174 2181 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2175 2182
2176 2183 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2177 2184
2178 2185 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2179 2186 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2180 2187 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2181 2188 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2182 2189
2183 2190 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2184 2191 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2185 2192
2186 2193 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2187 2194 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2188 2195 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2189 2196 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2190 2197 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2191 2198 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2192 2199 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2193 2200
2194 2201 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2195 2202 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2196 2203 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2197 2204
2198 2205 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2199 2206 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2200 2207 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2201 2208 before.
2202 2209
2203 2210 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2204 2211
2205 2212 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2206 2213 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2207 2214 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2208 2215 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2209 2216
2210 2217 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2211 2218 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2212 2219 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2213 2220 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2214 2221 timing very short-running code.
2215 2222
2216 2223 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2217 2224 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2218 2225 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2219 2226 utility.
2220 2227
2221 2228 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2222 2229 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2223 2230 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2224 2231 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2225 2232 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2226 2233 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2227 2234 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2228 2235 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2229 2236
2230 2237 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2231 2238 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2232 2239 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2233 2240
2234 2241 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2235 2242 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2236 2243 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2237 2244 is for).
2238 2245
2239 2246 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2240 2247 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2241 2248 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2242 2249 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2243 2250 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2244 2251
2245 2252 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2246 2253
2247 2254 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2248 2255 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2249 2256 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2250 2257 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2251 2258 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2252 2259
2253 2260 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2254 2261 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2255 2262 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2256 2263 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2257 2264 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2258 2265 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2259 2266
2260 2267 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2261 2268
2262 2269 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2263 2270 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2264 2271
2265 2272 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2266 2273
2267 2274 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2268 2275 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2269 2276 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2270 2277 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2271 2278
2272 2279 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2273 2280
2274 2281 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2275 2282
2276 2283 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2277 2284 setting with -d option.
2278 2285
2279 2286 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2280 2287 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2281 2288 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2282 2289 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2283 2290
2284 2291 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2285 2292
2286 2293 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2287 2294 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2288 2295
2289 2296 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2290 2297 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2291 2298 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2292 2299 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2293 2300 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2294 2301 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2295 2302 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2296 2303 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2297 2304 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2298 2305 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2299 2306 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2300 2307
2301 2308 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2302 2309
2303 2310 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2304 2311 cache when empty lines were present.
2305 2312
2306 2313 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2307 2314
2308 2315 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2309 2316 options for WX and GTK.
2310 2317
2311 2318 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2312 2319
2313 2320 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2314 2321 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2315 2322 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2316 2323 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2317 2324 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2318 2325 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2319 2326 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2320 2327
2321 2328 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2322 2329 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2323 2330
2324 2331 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2325 2332
2326 2333 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2327 2334 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2328 2335 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2329 2336 many thanks.
2330 2337
2331 2338 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2332 2339 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2333 2340 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2334 2341
2335 2342 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2336 2343
2337 2344 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2338 2345 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2339 2346 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2340 2347
2341 2348 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2342 2349
2343 2350 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2344 2351
2345 2352 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2346 2353 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2347 2354 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2348 2355
2349 2356 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2350 2357
2351 2358 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2352 2359 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2353 2360
2354 2361 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2355 2362
2356 2363 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2357 2364 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2358 2365 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2359 2366 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2360 2367 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2361 2368 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2362 2369 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2363 2370
2364 2371 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2365 2372
2366 2373 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2367 2374 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2368 2375 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2369 2376 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2370 2377
2371 2378 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2372 2379 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2373 2380
2374 2381 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2375 2382
2376 2383 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2377 2384 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2378 2385
2379 2386 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2380 2387 use throughout ipython.
2381 2388
2382 2389 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2383 2390 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2384 2391
2385 2392 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2386 2393 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2387 2394 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2388 2395 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2389 2396
2390 2397 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2391 2398
2392 2399 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2393 2400 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2394 2401 report by Francesc Alted.
2395 2402
2396 2403 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2397 2404
2398 2405 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2399 2406 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2400 2407
2401 2408 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2402 2409
2403 2410 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2404 2411 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2405 2412 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2406 2413 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2407 2414 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2408 2415 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2409 2416 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2410 2417 correctly set.
2411 2418
2412 2419 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2413 2420
2414 2421 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2415 2422 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2416 2423 import requirement of PEP-328.
2417 2424
2418 2425 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2419 2426 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2420 2427 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2421 2428 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2422 2429
2423 2430 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2424 2431
2425 2432 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2426 2433
2427 2434 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2428 2435 via a normal python function call.
2429 2436
2430 2437 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2431 2438 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2432 2439 2.4.
2433 2440
2434 2441 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2435 2442
2436 2443 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2437 2444 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2438 2445 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2439 2446 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2440 2447 is given to the user).
2441 2448
2442 2449 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2443 2450
2444 2451 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2445 2452 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2446 2453 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2447 2454 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2448 2455
2449 2456 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2450 2457 python 2.2.
2451 2458
2452 2459 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2453 2460 banner arg for embedded customization.
2454 2461
2455 2462 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2456 2463 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2457 2464 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2458 2465 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2459 2466 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2460 2467 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2461 2468
2462 2469 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2463 2470 minor changes to debian dir.
2464 2471
2465 2472 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2466 2473 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2467 2474 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2468 2475 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2469 2476
2470 2477 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2471 2478
2472 2479 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2473 2480 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2474 2481 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2475 2482 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2476 2483 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2477 2484
2478 2485 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2479 2486
2480 2487 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2481 2488 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2482 2489
2483 2490 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2484 2491
2485 2492 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2486 2493 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2487 2494
2488 2495 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2489 2496
2490 2497 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2491 2498
2492 2499 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2493 2500 updated.
2494 2501
2495 2502 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2496 2503
2497 2504 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2498 2505 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2499 2506 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2500 2507 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2501 2508 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2502 2509
2503 2510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2504 2511 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2505 2512 split regexp. Closes
2506 2513 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2507 2514 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2508 2515 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2509 2516 extensions.
2510 2517
2511 2518 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2512 2519 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2513 2520 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2514 2521 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2515 2522 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2516 2523
2517 2524 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2518 2525 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2519 2526 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2520 2527 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2521 2528
2522 2529 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2523 2530 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2524 2531
2525 2532 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2526 2533 fine-tune banner.
2527 2534
2528 2535 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2529 2536 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2530 2537
2531 2538 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2532 2539
2533 2540 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2534 2541 were missing.
2535 2542
2536 2543 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2537 2544 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2538 2545 valid at the command line.
2539 2546
2540 2547 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2541 2548 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2542 2549
2543 2550 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2544 2551
2545 2552 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2546 2553 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2547 2554 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2548 2555
2549 2556 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2550 2557
2551 2558 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2552 2559 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2553 2560 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2554 2561 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2555 2562 continue to use the standard profiler.
2556 2563
2557 2564 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2558 2565
2559 2566 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2560 2567 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2561 2568 close.
2562 2569
2563 2570 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2564 2571
2565 2572 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2566 2573 in Magic and ultraTB.
2567 2574
2568 2575 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2569 2576
2570 2577 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2571 2578 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2572 2579 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2573 2580 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2574 2581
2575 2582 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2576 2583 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2577 2584 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2578 2585 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2579 2586 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2580 2587 infrastructure in place.
2581 2588
2582 2589 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2583 2590
2584 2591 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2585 2592
2586 2593 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2587 2594 the pylab profile.
2588 2595
2589 2596 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2590 2597
2591 2598 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2592 2599
2593 2600 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2594 2601 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2595 2602 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2596 2603 itself.
2597 2604
2598 2605 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2599 2606 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2600 2607 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2601 2608 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2602 2609 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2603 2610 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2604 2611 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2605 2612 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2606 2613
2607 2614 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2608 2615 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2609 2616
2610 2617 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2611 2618
2612 2619 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2613 2620 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2614 2621 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2615 2622
2616 2623 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2617 2624
2618 2625 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2619 2626 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2620 2627
2621 2628 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2622 2629
2623 2630 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2624 2631
2625 2632 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2626 2633
2627 2634 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2628 2635
2629 2636 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2630 2637 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2631 2638 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2632 2639
2633 2640 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2634 2641
2635 2642 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2636 2643 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2637 2644 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2638 2645 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2639 2646 works.
2640 2647
2641 2648 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2642 2649 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2643 2650 practice.
2644 2651
2645 2652 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2646 2653
2647 2654 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2648 2655 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2649 2656 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2650 2657
2651 2658 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2652 2659
2653 2660 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2654 2661 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2655 2662 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2656 2663 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2657 2664
2658 2665 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2659 2666
2660 2667 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2661 2668 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2662 2669 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2663 2670 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2664 2671
2665 2672 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2666 2673
2667 2674 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2668 2675
2669 2676 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2670 2677 fail for any number.
2671 2678 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2672 2679 empty bookmarks.
2673 2680
2674 2681 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2675 2682
2676 2683 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2677 2684
2678 2685 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2679 2686
2680 2687 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2681 2688 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2682 2689
2683 2690 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2684 2691 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2685 2692
2686 2693 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2687 2694
2688 2695 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2689 2696 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2690 2697 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2691 2698 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2692 2699 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2693 2700
2694 2701 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2695 2702
2696 2703 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2697 2704 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2698 2705
2699 2706 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2700 2707
2701 2708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2702 2709 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2703 2710 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2704 2711 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2705 2712
2706 2713 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2707 2714 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2708 2715 Schmolck.
2709 2716
2710 2717 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2711 2718
2712 2719 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2713 2720
2714 2721 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2715 2722 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2716 2723
2717 2724 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2718 2725 optimizations.
2719 2726
2720 2727 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2721 2728 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2722 2729
2723 2730 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2724 2731 --Started changelog.
2725 2732 --make clear do what it say it does
2726 2733 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2727 2734 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2728 2735 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2729 2736 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2730 2737 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2731 2738 can be done for other cases.
2732 2739 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2733 2740 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2734 2741 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2735 2742
2736 2743 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2737 2744 --added logfile rotation
2738 2745 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2739 2746
2740 2747 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2741 2748 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2742 2749 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2743 2750 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2744 2751 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2745 2752 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2746 2753 --added global logfile option
2747 2754 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2748 2755 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2749 2756
2750 2757 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2751 2758 --added a README
2752 2759 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2753 2760 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2754 2761 bug or feature.
2755 2762 --changed rc file for new behavior
2756 2763
2757 2764 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2758 2765
2759 2766 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2760 2767 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2761 2768 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2762 2769
2763 2770 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2764 2771 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2765 2772
2766 2773 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2767 2774
2768 2775 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2769 2776 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2770 2777 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2771 2778 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2772 2779 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2773 2780 and prepended with a #.
2774 2781
2775 2782 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2776 2783 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2777 2784
2778 2785 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2779 2786
2780 2787 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2781 2788 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2782 2789
2783 2790 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2784 2791
2785 2792 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2786 2793 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2787 2794
2788 2795 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2789 2796
2790 2797 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2791 2798 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2792 2799 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2793 2800
2794 2801 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2795 2802
2796 2803 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2797 2804 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2798 2805
2799 2806 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2800 2807 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2801 2808 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2802 2809 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2803 2810 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2804 2811 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2805 2812 be implemented later).
2806 2813
2807 2814 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2808 2815 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2809 2816 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2810 2817 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2811 2818
2812 2819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2813 2820 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2814 2821 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2815 2822
2816 2823 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2817 2824 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2818 2825
2819 2826 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2820 2827 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2821 2828 readline make it impossible to go further.
2822 2829
2823 2830 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2824 2831
2825 2832 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2826 2833 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2827 2834
2828 2835 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2829 2836
2830 2837 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2831 2838 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2832 2839 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2833 2840 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2834 2841
2835 2842 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2836 2843 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2837 2844 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2838 2845 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2839 2846
2840 2847 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2841 2848 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2842 2849 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2843 2850 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2844 2851 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2845 2852 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2846 2853 problem.
2847 2854
2848 2855 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2849 2856 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2850 2857
2851 2858 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2852 2859 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2853 2860 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2854 2861
2855 2862 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2856 2863
2857 2864 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2858 2865 continue prompts.
2859 2866
2860 2867 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2861 2868 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2862 2869 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2863 2870 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2864 2871 byte-compilation saves time.
2865 2872
2866 2873 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2867 2874
2868 2875 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2869 2876 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2870 2877
2871 2878 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2872 2879 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2873 2880
2874 2881 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2875 2882 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2876 2883 common cases where it's a problem.
2877 2884
2878 2885 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2879 2886
2880 2887 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2881 2888 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2882 2889 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2883 2890 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2884 2891 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2885 2892 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2886 2893
2887 2894 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2888 2895
2889 2896 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2890 2897 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2891 2898
2892 2899 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2893 2900 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2894 2901 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2895 2902 structure as win_exec_ext.
2896 2903
2897 2904 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2898 2905 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2899 2906
2900 2907 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2901 2908 delete aliases.
2902 2909
2903 2910 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
2904 2911 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
2905 2912
2906 2913 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2907 2914
2908 2915 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
2909 2916 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
2910 2917
2911 2918 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2912 2919
2913 2920 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
2914 2921 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
2915 2922
2916 2923 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
2917 2924 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
2918 2925
2919 2926 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
2920 2927 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
2921 2928 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
2922 2929 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
2923 2930 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
2924 2931 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
2925 2932
2926 2933 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
2927 2934 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
2928 2935 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
2929 2936
2930 2937 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
2931 2938 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
2932 2939 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
2933 2940
2934 2941 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
2935 2942 via an extra $. For example:
2936 2943
2937 2944 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
2938 2945
2939 2946 In [8]: !echo $PATH
2940 2947 a python variable
2941 2948
2942 2949 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
2943 2950 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
2944 2951
2945 2952 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
2946 2953 things prematurely.
2947 2954
2948 2955 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
2949 2956 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
2950 2957
2951 2958 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
2952 2959 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
2953 2960 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
2954 2961 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
2955 2962 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
2956 2963 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
2957 2964 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
2958 2965 programs in the user's path is obtained.
2959 2966
2960 2967 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
2961 2968 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
2962 2969 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
2963 2970 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
2964 2971 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
2965 2972 with the old system).
2966 2973
2967 2974 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2968 2975
2969 2976 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
2970 2977 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
2971 2978
2972 2979 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
2973 2980 call to eval.
2974 2981 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
2975 2982 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
2976 2983 in.
2977 2984
2978 2985 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2979 2986
2980 2987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
2981 2988 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
2982 2989 confusion).
2983 2990
2984 2991 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
2985 2992 check for Windows users.
2986 2993
2987 2994 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
2988 2995 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
2989 2996 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
2990 2997 download it.
2991 2998
2992 2999 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2993 3000
2994 3001 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
2995 3002 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
2996 3003 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
2997 3004 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
2998 3005 of IDLE's out).
2999 3006
3000 3007 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3001 3008 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3002 3009 eventually.
3003 3010 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3004 3011
3005 3012 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3006 3013
3007 3014 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3008 3015 list of auto-defined aliases.
3009 3016
3010 3017 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3011 3018
3012 3019 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3013 3020 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3014 3021 things under Windows).
3015 3022
3016 3023 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3017 3024
3018 3025 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3019 3026 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3020 3027 reported by Thorsten.
3021 3028
3022 3029 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3023 3030
3024 3031 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3025 3032 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3026 3033 for all examples and the manual as well.
3027 3034
3028 3035 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3029 3036
3030 3037 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3031 3038 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3032 3039 inherit from BasePrompt.
3033 3040
3034 3041 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3035 3042 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3036 3043
3037 3044 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3038 3045 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3039 3046 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3040 3047 defaults.
3041 3048 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3042 3049 this fix manually!
3043 3050
3044 3051 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3045 3052 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3046 3053 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3047 3054 distutils).
3048 3055
3049 3056 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3050 3057 usage of new '\D' escape.
3051 3058
3052 3059 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3053 3060 lacks os.getuid())
3054 3061 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3055 3062 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3056 3063 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3057 3064 handling mechanism.
3058 3065 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3059 3066 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3060 3067 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3061 3068 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3062 3069 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3063 3070 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3064 3071 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3065 3072
3066 3073 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3067 3074
3068 3075 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3069 3076 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3070 3077 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3071 3078
3072 3079 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3073 3080 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3074 3081 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3075 3082 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3076 3083 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3077 3084 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3078 3085 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3079 3086 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3080 3087
3081 3088 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3082 3089 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3083 3090 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3084 3091 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3085 3092 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3086 3093 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3087 3094 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3088 3095 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3089 3096
3090 3097 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3091 3098 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3092 3099 functions uniform.
3093 3100 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3094 3101
3095 3102 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3096 3103 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3097 3104 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3098 3105 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3099 3106 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3100 3107 use to parse their options.
3101 3108
3102 3109 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3103 3110 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3104 3111 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3105 3112
3106 3113 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3107 3114 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3108 3115 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3109 3116 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3110 3117 via the prompt_specials.
3111 3118
3112 3119 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3113 3120
3114 3121 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3115 3122 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3116 3123 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3117 3124 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3118 3125 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3119 3126 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3120 3127 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3121 3128 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3122 3129
3123 3130 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3124 3131
3125 3132 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3126 3133 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3127 3134 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3128 3135
3129 3136 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3130 3137
3131 3138 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3132 3139 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3133 3140
3134 3141 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3135 3142
3136 3143 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3137 3144 parens would get passed to the shell.
3138 3145
3139 3146 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3140 3147
3141 3148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3142 3149 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3143 3150
3144 3151 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3145 3152 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3146 3153 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3147 3154 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3148 3155 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3149 3156
3150 3157 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3151 3158 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3152 3159 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3153 3160 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3154 3161
3155 3162 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3156 3163
3157 3164 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3158 3165
3159 3166 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3160 3167 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3161 3168 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3162 3169
3163 3170 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3164 3171 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3165 3172 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3166 3173 official documentation.
3167 3174
3168 3175 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3169 3176
3170 3177 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3171 3178 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3172 3179 explicit filename.
3173 3180
3174 3181 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3175 3182
3176 3183 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3177 3184 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3178 3185 case.
3179 3186
3180 3187 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3181 3188 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3182 3189 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3183 3190
3184 3191 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3185 3192
3186 3193 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3187 3194
3188 3195 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3189 3196 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3190 3197 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3191 3198 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3192 3199 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3193 3200 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3194 3201 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3195 3202 any changes to python proper.
3196 3203
3197 3204 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3198 3205 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3199 3206 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3200 3207 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3201 3208 Schmolck.
3202 3209
3203 3210 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3204 3211
3205 3212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3206 3213 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3207 3214 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3208 3215 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3209 3216
3210 3217 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3211 3218
3212 3219 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3213 3220 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3214 3221 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3215 3222 name).
3216 3223
3217 3224 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3218 3225 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3219 3226 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3220 3227 Francois Pinard.
3221 3228
3222 3229 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3223 3230
3224 3231 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3225 3232 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3226 3233 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3227 3234 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3228 3235 not work.
3229 3236
3230 3237 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3231 3238
3232 3239 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3233 3240 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3234 3241 distinguishes stdout/err.
3235 3242
3236 3243 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3237 3244 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3238 3245 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3239 3246 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3240 3247 the standard library.
3241 3248
3242 3249 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3243 3250 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3244 3251
3245 3252 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3246 3253 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3247 3254
3248 3255 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3256
3250 3257 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3251 3258 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3252 3259 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3253 3260 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3254 3261 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3255 3262 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3256 3263
3257 3264 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3265
3259 3266 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3260 3267 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3261 3268 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3262 3269 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3263 3270
3264 3271 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3265 3272
3266 3273 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3267 3274 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3268 3275 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3269 3276 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3270 3277
3271 3278 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3272 3279
3273 3280 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3274 3281 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3275 3282 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3276 3283 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3277 3284 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3278 3285 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3279 3286 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3280 3287 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3281 3288
3282 3289 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3283 3290
3284 3291 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3285 3292 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3286 3293
3287 3294 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3288 3295
3289 3296 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3290 3297 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3291 3298 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3292 3299 very short.
3293 3300
3294 3301 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3302
3296 3303 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3297 3304 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3298 3305 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3299 3306 this before making it permanent.
3300 3307
3301 3308 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3302 3309 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3303 3310 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3304 3311 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3305 3312
3306 3313 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3307 3314
3308 3315 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3309 3316 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3310 3317
3311 3318 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3312 3319
3313 3320 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3314 3321 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3315 3322 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3316 3323 cases I've missed.
3317 3324
3318 3325 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3319 3326
3320 3327 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3321 3328 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3322 3329 system would be triggered for @p.
3323 3330
3324 3331 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3325 3332 cleanups, code unmodified.
3326 3333
3327 3334 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3328 3335 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3329 3336 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3330 3337 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3331 3338 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3332 3339 The actual changes affect many files.
3333 3340
3334 3341 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3335 3342
3336 3343 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3337 3344 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3338 3345 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3339 3346
3340 3347 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3341 3348
3342 3349 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3343 3350 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3344 3351
3345 3352 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3346 3353
3347 3354 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3348 3355 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3349 3356 numpy list.
3350 3357
3351 3358 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3352 3359
3353 3360 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3354 3361 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3355 3362 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3356 3363 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3357 3364
3358 3365 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3359 3366
3360 3367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3361 3368 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3362 3369 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3363 3370 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3364 3371
3365 3372 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3366 3373 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3367 3374
3368 3375 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3369 3376
3370 3377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3371 3378 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3372 3379 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3373 3380 Collins.
3374 3381
3375 3382 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3376 3383
3377 3384 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3378 3385
3379 3386 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3380 3387 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3381 3388 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3382 3389
3383 3390 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3384 3391
3385 3392 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3386 3393 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3387 3394 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3388 3395 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3389 3396
3390 3397 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3391 3398 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3392 3399 __getitem__ and __call__.
3393 3400
3394 3401 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3395 3402
3396 3403 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3397 3404
3398 3405 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3399 3406 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3400 3407 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3401 3408 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3402 3409
3403 3410 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3404 3411 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3405 3412 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3406 3413 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3407 3414 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3408 3415 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3409 3416 necessary.
3410 3417
3411 3418 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3412 3419 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3413 3420 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3414 3421
3415 3422 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3416 3423 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3417 3424 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3418 3425 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3419 3426
3420 3427 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3421 3428 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3422 3429 generators.
3423 3430
3424 3431 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3425 3432 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3426 3433 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3427 3434 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3428 3435 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3429 3436 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3430 3437 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3431 3438
3432 3439 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3433 3440 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3434 3441 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3435 3442 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3436 3443 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3437 3444
3438 3445 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3439 3446 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3440 3447 edit under some circumstances.
3441 3448 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3442 3449 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3443 3450 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3444 3451 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3445 3452 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3446 3453 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3447 3454 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3448 3455 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3449 3456 need more testing.

3451 3458 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3452 3459
3453 3460 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3454 3461 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3455 3462 and simpler code.
3456 3463
3457 3464 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3458 3465
3459 3466 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3460 3467 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3461 3468 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3462 3469 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3463 3470 even if they were contiguous.
3464 3471 (l1norm): Added this function.
3465 3472 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3466 3473 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3467 3474 and speed.
3468 3475
3469 3476 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3470 3477
3471 3478 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3472 3479 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3473 3480 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3474 3481
3475 3482 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3476 3483
3477 3484 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3478 3485 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3479 3486 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3480 3487
3481 3488 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3482 3489 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3483 3490 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3484 3491
3485 3492 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3486 3493
3487 3494 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3488 3495 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3489 3496 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3490 3497 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3491 3498 activity.
3492 3499
3493 3500 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3494 3501
3495 3502 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3496 3503 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3497 3504 Numeric.identity)
3498 3505
3499 3506 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3500 3507
3501 3508 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3502 3509 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3503 3510 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3504 3511
3505 3512 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3506 3513
3507 3514 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3508 3515 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3509 3516 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3510 3517 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3511 3518
3512 3519 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3513 3520 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3514 3521 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3515 3522 is implemented).
3516 3523
3517 3524 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3518 3525
3519 3526 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3520 3527 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3521 3528 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3522 3529
3523 3530 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3524 3531 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3525 3532 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3526 3533 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3527 3534 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3528 3535
3529 3536 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3530 3537
3531 3538 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3539
3533 3540 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3534 3541 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3535 3542 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3536 3543
3537 3544 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3538 3545
3539 3546 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3540 3547 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3541 3548 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3542 3549
3543 3550 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3544 3551 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3545 3552 crash report from Prabhu.
3546 3553
3547 3554 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3548 3555
3549 3556 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3550 3557 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3551 3558 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3552 3559 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3553 3560 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3554 3561 also be useful in other cases.
3555 3562
3556 3563 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3557 3564 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3558 3565 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3559 3566
3560 3567 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3561 3568
3562 3569 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3563 3570
3564 3571 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3565 3572 installing for a new user under Windows.
3566 3573
3567 3574 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3568 3575
3569 3576 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3570 3577 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3571 3578 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3572 3579 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3573 3580 there.
3574 3581
3575 3582 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3576 3583 info to crash reports.
3577 3584
3578 3585 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3579 3586 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3580 3587 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3581 3588 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3582 3589
3583 3590 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3584 3591
3585 3592 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3586 3593 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3587 3594 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3588 3595 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3589 3596
3590 3597 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3591 3598
3592 3599 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3593 3600 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3594 3601
3595 3602 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3596 3603
3597 3604 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3598 3605 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3599 3606
3600 3607 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3601 3608
3602 3609 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3610
3604 3611 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3605 3612 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3606 3613 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3607 3614
3608 3615 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3609 3616 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3610 3617 with the new auto-indent option.
3611 3618
3612 3619 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3613 3620
3614 3621 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3615 3622 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3616 3623 this class from the main Shell class.
3617 3624
3618 3625 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3619 3626 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3620 3627 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3621 3628 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3622 3629 option).
3623 3630
3624 3631 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3625 3632 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3626 3633 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3627 3634 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3628 3635 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3629 3636
3630 3637 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3631 3638 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3632 3639 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3633 3640
3634 3641 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3635 3642 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3636 3643 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3637 3644 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3638 3645 tracebacks.
3639 3646
3640 3647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3641 3648 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3642 3649 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
3643 3650
3644 3651 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3645 3652
3646 3653 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3647 3654 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3648 3655 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3649 3656 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3650 3657
3651 3658 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3652 3659
3653 3660 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3654 3661 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3655 3662 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3656 3663 for the bug report.
3657 3664
3658 3665 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3659 3666
3660 3667 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3661 3668 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3662 3669 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3663 3670 report.
3664 3671
3665 3672 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3673
3667 3674 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3668 3675 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3669 3676 end).
3670 3677
3671 3678 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3672 3679 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3673 3680 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3674 3681
3675 3682 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3676 3683
3677 3684 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3678 3685 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3679 3686 for the patch.
3680 3687
3681 3688 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3682 3689
3683 3690 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3684 3691 functions.
3685 3692
3686 3693 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
3687 3694
3688 3695 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3689 3696
3690 3697 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3691 3698 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3692 3699 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3693 3700 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3694 3701 private fix.
3695 3702
3696 3703 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3697 3704 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3698 3705 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3699 3706 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3700 3707 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3701 3708 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3702 3709 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3703 3710 fixed for this setup.
3704 3711
3705 3712 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3706 3713 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3707 3714
3708 3715 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3709 3716
3710 3717 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3711 3718
3712 3719 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3713 3720 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3714 3721 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3715 3722 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3716 3723 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3717 3724 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3718 3725 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3719 3726 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3720 3727 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3721 3728
3722 3729 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3723 3730 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3724 3731 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
3725 3732
3726 3733 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3727 3734
3728 3735 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3729 3736
3730 3737 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3731 3738 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3732 3739 pickle-related issue in @run).
3733 3740
3734 3741 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3735 3742
3736 3743 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3737 3744 the autocall option at runtime.
3738 3745 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3739 3746 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3740 3747 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3741 3748 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3742 3749 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3743 3750 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3744 3751 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3745 3752 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3746 3753 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3747 3754 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3748 3755 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3749 3756 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3750 3757 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3751 3758 pickles to save something sensible.
3752 3759
3753 3760 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3754 3761
3755 3762 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3756 3763 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3757 3764 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3758 3765
3759 3766 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3760 3767
3761 3768 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3762 3769 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3763 3770
3764 3771 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3765 3772
3766 3773 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3767 3774 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3768 3775 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3769 3776 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3770 3777
3771 3778 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3772 3779
3773 3780 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3774 3781 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3775 3782 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3776 3783 array is non-contiguous.
3777 3784
3778 3785 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3779 3786
3780 3787 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3781 3788 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3782 3789 executed).
3783 3790 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3784 3791 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3785 3792 output.
3786 3793 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3787 3794 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3788 3795 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3789 3796 changing.
3790 3797
3791 3798 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3792 3799
3793 3800 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3794 3801
3795 3802 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3796 3803 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3797 3804 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3798 3805 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3799 3806 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3800 3807 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3801 3808 like a normal command-line.
3802 3809
3803 3810 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3804 3811 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3805 3812 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3806 3813 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3807 3814
3808 3815 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3809 3816
3810 3817 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3811 3818 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3812 3819 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3813 3820 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3814 3821
3815 3822 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3816 3823
3817 3824 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3818 3825 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3819 3826 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3820 3827 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3821 3828 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3822 3829 think it's worth doing.
3823 3830
3824 3831 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
3825 3832
3826 3833 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3827 3834
3828 3835 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3829 3836 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3830 3837
3831 3838 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3832 3839 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3833 3840 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3834 3841 also work ok.
3835 3842
3836 3843 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
3837 3844
3838 3845 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3839 3846
3840 3847 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3841 3848
3842 3849 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3843 3850 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3844 3851 of gnuplot data files.
3845 3852
3846 3853 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3847 3854
3848 3855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3849 3856 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3850 3857
3851 3858 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3859
3853 3860 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3854 3861 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3855 3862 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3856 3863 for pointing this out.
3857 3864
3858 3865 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3859 3866
3860 3867 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3861 3868
3862 3869 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3863 3870 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3864 3871 Interactive.
3865 3872
3866 3873 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3867 3874 being imported from iplib.
3868 3875
3869 3876 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3870 3877 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3871 3878 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3872 3879 common name.
3873 3880
3874 3881 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3875 3882 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3876 3883
3877 3884 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3878 3885 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3879 3886
3880 3887 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3881 3888 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3882 3889 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3883 3890 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3884 3891 docstrings).
3885 3892
3886 3893 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3887 3894
3888 3895 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3889 3896 (inconsistent with options).
3890 3897
3891 3898 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3892 3899 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3893 3900 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3894 3901 eps output.
3895 3902
3896 3903 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3897 3904
3898 3905 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3899 3906 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3900 3907 Pinard.
3901 3908
3902 3909 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3903 3910
3904 3911 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
3905 3912 history file for new users.
3906 3913 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
3907 3914 user running in the .ipython dir.
3908 3915 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
3909 3916 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
3910 3917 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
3911 3918
3912 3919 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
3913 3920 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
3914 3921 consistently.
3915 3922
3916 3923 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
3917 3924 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
3918 3925 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
3919 3926 libraries I don't have access to.
3920 3927
3921 3928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
3922 3929 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
3923 3930 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
3924 3931 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
3925 3932 report.
3926 3933
3927 3934 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3928 3935
3929 3936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
3930 3937 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
3931 3938 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
3932 3939 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
3933 3940
3934 3941 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3935 3942
3936 3943 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
3937 3944 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
3938 3945 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
3939 3946 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
3940 3947 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
3941 3948 instance has been created.
3942 3949
3943 3950 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
3944 3951 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
3945 3952 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
3946 3953 dict by hand.
3947 3954
3948 3955 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3949 3956
3950 3957 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
3951 3958 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
3952 3959 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
3953 3960 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
3954 3961 broken.
3955 3962
3956 3963 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
3957 3964 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
3958 3965 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
3959 3966 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
3960 3967
3961 3968 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
3962 3969 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
3963 3970 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
3964 3971 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
3965 3972 is a valid one.
3966 3973
3967 3974 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
3968 3975 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
3969 3976 confirmation to have yes as the default.
3970 3977
3971 3978 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
3972 3979 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
3973 3980 simply leftover junk.
3974 3981
3975 3982 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3976 3983
3977 3984 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
3978 3985 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
3979 3986 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
3980 3987
3981 3988 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
3982 3989 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
3983 3990 exceptions.
3984 3991
3985 3992 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3993
3987 3994 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
3988 3995 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
3989 3996 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
3990 3997 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
3991 3998 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
3992 3999
3993 4000 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
3994 4001 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
3995 4002
3996 4003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
3997 4004 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
3998 4005 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
3999 4006 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4000 4007 problem mentioned below.
4001 4008
4002 4009 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4003 4010
4004 4011 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4005 4012 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4006 4013
4007 4014 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4008 4015 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4009 4016 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4010 4017 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4011 4018 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4012 4019
4013 4020 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4014 4021 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4015 4022 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4016 4023 actual function names.
4017 4024
4018 4025 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4019 4026 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4020 4027 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4021 4028 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4022 4029 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4023 4030 really be only function/method names.
4024 4031
4025 4032 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4026 4033
4027 4034 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4028 4035 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4029 4036 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4030 4037
4031 4038 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4039
4033 4040 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4034 4041 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4035 4042 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4036 4043
4037 4044 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4038 4045 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4039 4046
4040 4047 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4041 4048 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4042 4049 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4043 4050
4044 4051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4045 4052 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4046 4053 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4047 4054
4048 4055 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4049 4056 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4050 4057 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4051 4058
4052 4059 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4053 4060
4054 4061 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4055 4062 Gnuplot.File objects.
4056 4063
4057 4064 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4058 4065
4059 4066 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4060 4067 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4061 4068 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4062 4069
4063 4070 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4064 4071
4065 4072 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4066 4073 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4067 4074
4068 4075 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4069 4076 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4070 4077
4071 4078 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4072 4079 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4073 4080
4074 4081 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4075 4082
4076 4083 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4077 4084 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4078 4085 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4079 4086 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4080 4087
4081 4088 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4082 4089
4083 4090 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4084 4091 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4085 4092 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4086 4093
4087 4094 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4095
4089 4096 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4090 4097 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4091 4098 workaround).
4092 4099
4093 4100 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4101
4095 4102 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4096 4103 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4097 4104
4098 4105 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4099 4106
4100 4107 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4101 4108 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4102 4109
4103 4110 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4104 4111 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4105 4112 .strip() is called on it.
4106 4113
4107 4114
4108 4115 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4109 4116
4110 4117 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4111 4118 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4112 4119 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4113 4120
4114 4121 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4115 4122 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4116 4123
4117 4124 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4118 4125 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4119 4126 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4120 4127
4121 4128 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4129
4123 4130 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4124 4131 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4125 4132 __main__.
4126 4133
4127 4134 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4128 4135 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4129 4136
4130 4137 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4131 4138 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4132 4139 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4133 4140 Mathematica behaves.
4134 4141
4135 4142 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4136 4143
4137 4144 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4138 4145 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4139 4146
4140 4147 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4141 4148 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4142 4149 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4143 4150
4144 4151 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4145 4152 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4146 4153
4147 4154 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4148 4155
4149 4156 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4150 4157 underflow problems in Numeric.
4151 4158 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4152 4159 for exact integer powers of 2.
4153 4160
4154 4161 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4155 4162 properly.
4156 4163
4157 4164 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4158 4165
4159 4166 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4160 4167 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4161 4168
4162 4169 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4163 4170
4164 4171 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4165 4172 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4166 4173
4167 4174 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4168 4175
4169 4176 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4170 4177 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4171 4178 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4172 4179 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4173 4180 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4174 4181 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4175 4182 times).
4176 4183
4177 4184 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4178 4185 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4179 4186 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4180 4187
4181 4188 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4182 4189
4183 4190 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4184 4191 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4185 4192 embedded code.
4186 4193
4187 4194 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4188 4195 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4189 4196 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4190 4197
4191 4198 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4192 4199 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4193 4200 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4194 4201 less special-casing to remember.
4195 4202
4196 4203 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4204
4198 4205 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4199 4206 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4200 4207 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4201 4208 arg is not a defined object.
4202 4209 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4203 4210 a Mike Heeter idea.
4204 4211
4205 4212 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4206 4213 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4207 4214 interactive use.
4208 4215
4209 4216 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4210 4217 filenames.
4211 4218
4212 4219 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4213 4220
4214 4221 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4215 4222 initialization via another struct.
4216 4223
4217 4224 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4218 4225 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4219 4226
4220 4227 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4221 4228
4222 4229 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4223 4230 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4224 4231 too big).
4225 4232
4226 4233 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4227 4234
4228 4235 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4229 4236 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4230 4237 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4231 4238 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4232 4239
4233 4240 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4234 4241
4235 4242 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4236 4243 macros having broken.
4237 4244
4238 4245 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4246
4240 4247 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4241 4248 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4242 4249 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4243 4250 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4244 4251 not to lists.
4245 4252
4246 4253 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4247 4254
4248 4255 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4249 4256 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4250 4257 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4251 4258
4252 4259 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4253 4260 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4254 4261
4255 4262 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4256 4263 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4257 4264 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4258 4265
4259 4266 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4260 4267 triple-quoted strings.
4261 4268
4262 4269 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4263 4270 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4264 4271 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4265 4272 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4266 4273 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4267 4274 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4268 4275
4269 4276 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4270 4277
4271 4278 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4272 4279 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4273 4280 ultraTB).
4274 4281
4275 4282 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4276 4283
4277 4284 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4278 4285 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4279 4286 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4280 4287 user's 'g' variables).
4281 4288
4282 4289 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4283 4290 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4284 4291 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4285 4292 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4286 4293 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4287 4294 macros.
4288 4295
4289 4296 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4290 4297
4291 4298 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4292 4299 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4293 4300
4294 4301 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4295 4302 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4296 4303 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4297 4304
4298 4305 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4299 4306
4300 4307 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4301 4308 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4302 4309 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4303 4310 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4304 4311 aliases.
4305 4312
4306 4313 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4307 4314
4308 4315 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4309 4316 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4310 4317 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4311 4318 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4312 4319
4313 4320 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4314 4321
4315 4322 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4316 4323 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4317 4324 user-defined functions overrode them.
4318 4325
4319 4326 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4320 4327
4321 4328 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4322 4329 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4323 4330
4324 4331 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4325 4332
4326 4333 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4327 4334 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4328 4335 IPython.
4329 4336
4330 4337 * Released 0.2.13
4331 4338
4332 4339 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4333 4340 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4334 4341 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4335 4342 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4336 4343
4337 4344 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4338 4345
4339 4346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4340 4347 magic properly formatted for screen.
4341 4348
4342 4349 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4343 4350 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4344 4351
4345 4352 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4346 4353 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4347 4354 etc.)
4348 4355
4349 4356 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4350 4357
4351 4358 * Released 0.2.12
4352 4359
4353 4360 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4354 4361
4355 4362 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4356 4363 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4357 4364 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4358 4365 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4359 4366 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4360 4367 an alias to @run -i.
4361 4368
4362 4369 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4363 4370 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4364 4371
4365 4372 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4366 4373
4367 4374 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4368 4375 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4369 4376 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4370 4377
4371 4378 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4372 4379 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4373 4380 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4374 4381 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4375 4382 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4376 4383 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4377 4384 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4378 4385
4379 4386 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4380 4387
4381 4388 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4382 4389 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4383 4390 printed).
4384 4391
4385 4392 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4386 4393 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4387 4394 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4388 4395
4389 4396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4390 4397 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4391 4398
4392 4399 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4393 4400 handle magic commands in them.
4394 4401 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4395 4402 ~/mylog' now works.
4396 4403
4397 4404 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4398 4405 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4399 4406
4400 4407 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4401 4408
4402 4409 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4403 4410 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4404 4411
4405 4412 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4406 4413 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4407 4414 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4408 4415 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4409 4416 variables are in the context of an exception.
4410 4417 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4411 4418 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4412 4419
4413 4420 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4414 4421 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4415 4422
4416 4423 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4417 4424
4418 4425 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4419 4426 magics can parse options easier.
4420 4427 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4421 4428 suggested by Chris Hart.
4422 4429 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4423 4430 directory actually is in history.
4424 4431
4425 4432 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4426 4433 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4427 4434 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4428 4435
4429 4436 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4430 4437 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4431 4438 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4432 4439 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4433 4440
4434 4441 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4435 4442
4436 4443 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4437 4444 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4438 4445
4439 4446 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4440 4447 text (was a bug).
4441 4448
4442 4449 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4443 4450
4444 4451 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4445 4452 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4446 4453 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4447 4454
4448 4455 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4456
4450 4457 * Released 0.2.10
4451 4458
4452 4459 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4453 4460
4454 4461 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4455 4462 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4456 4463
4457 4464 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4458 4465
4459 4466 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4460 4467 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4461 4468
4462 4469 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4463 4470
4464 4471 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4465 4472 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4466 4473 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4467 4474 __init__.py)
4468 4475
4469 4476 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4470 4477
4471 4478 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4472 4479 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4473 4480 test for being inside IPython.
4474 4481
4475 4482 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4476 4483 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4477 4484 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4478 4485 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4479 4486
4480 4487 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4481 4488
4482 4489 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4483 4490 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4484 4491 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4485 4492
4486 4493 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4487 4494 embedding example to standard user directory for
4488 4495 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4489 4496
4490 4497 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4491 4498 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4492 4499 hidden global).
4493 4500
4494 4501 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4495 4502 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4496 4503 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4497 4504 case.
4498 4505
4499 4506 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4500 4507
4501 4508 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4502 4509 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4503 4510 start.
4504 4511
4505 4512 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4506 4513 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4507 4514 Numeric or math.
4508 4515
4509 4516 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4510 4517 provided profiles. Now we have:
4511 4518 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4512 4519 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4513 4520 -physics -> same as before
4514 4521
4515 4522 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4516 4523 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4517 4524 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4518 4525 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4519 4526 string adds).
4520 4527
4521 4528 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4522 4529 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4523 4530 line with the gnuplot code).
4524 4531
4525 4532 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4526 4533
4527 4534 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4528 4535 all included files change.
4529 4536
4530 4537 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4531 4538 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4532 4539
4533 4540 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4534 4541 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4535 4542 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4536 4543
4537 4544 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4538 4545 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4539 4546
4540 4547 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4541 4548 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4542 4549
4543 4550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4544 4551 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4545 4552 now accessible.
4546 4553
4547 4554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4548 4555 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4549 4556 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4550 4557 removed.
4551 4558 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4552 4559 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4553 4560 don't crash.
4554 4561 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4555 4562 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4556 4563 remains available.
4557 4564
4558 4565 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4559 4566
4560 4567 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4561 4568
4562 4569 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4563 4570
4564 4571 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4565 4572 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4566 4573 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4567 4574 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4568 4575
4569 4576 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4570 4577
4571 4578 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4572 4579 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4573 4580 sync with the output counter.
4574 4581
4575 4582 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4576 4583 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4577 4584
4578 4585 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4579 4586
4580 4587 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4581 4588 readline, fix it back after each call.
4582 4589
4583 4590 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4584 4591 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4585 4592 traceback references are properly deleted.
4586 4593
4587 4594 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4588 4595 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4589 4596
4590 4597 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4591 4598
4592 4599 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4593 4600 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4594 4601 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4595 4602 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4596 4603 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4597 4604 to catch SystemExit).
4598 4605
4599 4606 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4600 4607 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4601 4608 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4602 4609 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4603 4610 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4604 4611 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4605 4612
4606 4613 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4607 4614
4608 4615 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4609 4616 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4610 4617 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4611 4618
4612 4619 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4613 4620 configurable (it should have always been so).
4614 4621
4615 4622 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4616 4623
4617 4624 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4618 4625 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4619 4626 done in a more elegant way.
4620 4627
4621 4628 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4622 4629
4623 4630 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4624 4631 win9x also.
4625 4632
4626 4633 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4627 4634
4628 4635 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4629 4636 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4630 4637
4631 4638 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4632 4639
4633 4640 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4634 4641
4635 4642 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4636 4643 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4637 4644
4638 4645 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4639 4646 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4640 4647
4641 4648 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4642 4649 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4643 4650
4644 4651 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4645 4652 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4646 4653
4647 4654 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4648 4655
4649 4656 * Released 0.2.8
4650 4657
4651 4658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4652 4659 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4653 4660 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4654 4661 on' so that the first tab completes.
4655 4662 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4656 4663 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4657 4664
4658 4665 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4659 4666 installation.
4660 4667
4661 4668 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4662 4669 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4663 4670
4664 4671 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4665 4672
4666 4673 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4667 4674 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4668 4675 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4669 4676
4670 4677 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4671 4678 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4672 4679
4673 4680 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4674 4681 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4675 4682 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4676 4683 suggestion.
4677 4684
4678 4685 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4679 4686 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4680 4687 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4681 4688
4682 4689 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4683 4690 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4684 4691
4685 4692 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4686 4693
4687 4694 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4688 4695 which properly handles things for windows users.
4689 4696
4690 4697 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4691 4698
4692 4699 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4693 4700 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4694 4701 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4695 4702 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4696 4703 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4697 4704
4698 4705 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4699 4706
4700 4707 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4701 4708
4702 4709 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4703 4710 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4704 4711
4705 4712 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4706 4713
4707 4714 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4708 4715 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4709 4716 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4710 4717 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4711 4718 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4712 4719 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4713 4720
4714 4721 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4715 4722
4716 4723 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4717 4724 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4718 4725
4719 4726 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4720 4727 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4721 4728 cache at 20 values.
4722 4729
4723 4730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4724 4731 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4725 4732 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4726 4733 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4727 4734
4728 4735 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4729 4736 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4730 4737 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4731 4738 'file show').
4732 4739
4733 4740 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4734 4741 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4735 4742
4736 4743 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4737 4744 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4738 4745 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4739 4746
4740 4747 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4741 4748 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4742 4749 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4743 4750 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4744 4751
4745 4752 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4746 4753 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4747 4754 the prompt strings.
4748 4755
4749 4756 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4750 4757
4751 4758 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4752 4759 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4753 4760
4754 4761 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4755 4762 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4756 4763 either globally or at each call.
4757 4764
4758 4765 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4759 4766 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4760 4767 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4761 4768 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4762 4769
4763 4770 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4764 4771
4765 4772 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4766 4773 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4767 4774
4768 4775 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4769 4776
4770 4777 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4771 4778 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4772 4779 learning some lisp...
4773 4780
4774 4781 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4775 4782
4776 4783 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4777 4784 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4778 4785 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4779 4786 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4780 4787
4781 4788 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4782 4789 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4783 4790 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4784 4791
4785 4792 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4786 4793
4787 4794 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4788 4795 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4789 4796 control to emacs users.
4790 4797
4791 4798 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4792 4799 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4793 4800 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4794 4801 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4795 4802 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4796 4803 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4797 4804
4798 4805 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4799 4806
4800 4807 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4801 4808
4802 4809 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4803 4810 @logstate magic was created.
4804 4811
4805 4812 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4806 4813 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4807 4814
4808 4815 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4809 4816
4810 4817 * Released 0.2.6.
4811 4818
4812 4819 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4813 4820 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4814 4821
4815 4822 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4816 4823 SciPy.
4817 4824
4818 4825 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4819 4826 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4820 4827 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4821 4828 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4822 4829 the section on embedding and the example file.
4823 4830
4824 4831 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4825 4832 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4826 4833 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4827 4834
4828 4835 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4829 4836 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4830 4837 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4831 4838
4832 4839 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4833 4840 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4834 4841 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4835 4842 for this to work.
4836 4843
4837 4844 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4838 4845
4839 4846 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4840 4847 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4841 4848 well inside Emacs buffers.
4842 4849 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4843 4850 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4844 4851 same bug in iplib.
4845 4852
4846 4853 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4847 4854
4848 4855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4849 4856 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4850 4857
4851 4858 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4852 4859 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4853 4860 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4854 4861
4855 4862 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4856 4863 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4857 4864 display is done.
4858 4865
4859 4866 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4860 4867 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4861 4868
4862 4869 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4863 4870 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4864 4871 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4865 4872 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4866 4873 like in Octave.
4867 4874
4868 4875 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4869 4876 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4870 4877
4871 4878 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4872 4879
4873 4880 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4874 4881 whole file a little.
4875 4882
4876 4883 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4877 4884 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4878 4885 end-user distro.
4879 4886
4880 4887 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4881 4888 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4882 4889 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4883 4890
4884 4891 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4885 4892 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4886 4893
4887 4894 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4888 4895 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4889 4896 for @file.
4890 4897
4891 4898 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4892 4899 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4893 4900 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4894 4901 the code a bit easier.
4895 4902
4896 4903 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4897 4904 information to crash reports.
4898 4905
4899 4906 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4900 4907
4901 4908 * Released 0.2.5.
4902 4909
4903 4910 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4904 4911
4905 4912 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
4906 4913 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
4907 4914 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
4908 4915
4909 4916 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4910 4917
4911 4918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
4912 4919 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
4913 4920 have thigs work as expected.
4914 4921
4915 4922 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
4916 4923 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
4917 4924 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
4918 4925 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
4919 4926 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
4920 4927
4921 4928 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
4922 4929 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
4923 4930
4924 4931 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4925 4932
4926 4933 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
4927 4934 user config files with os-native line-endings.
4928 4935
4929 4936 * README and manual updates.
4930 4937
4931 4938 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
4932 4939 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
4933 4940
4934 4941 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
4935 4942 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
4936 4943
4937 4944 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
4938 4945 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
4939 4946 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
4940 4947 extension-less files.
4941 4948
4942 4949 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
4943 4950 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
4944 4951 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
4945 4952
4946 4953 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
4947 4954 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
4948 4955
4949 4956 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
4950 4957 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
4951 4958 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
4952 4959 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
4953 4960 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
4954 4961 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
4955 4962 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
4956 4963 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
4957 4964 least make manually a shortcut.
4958 4965
4959 4966 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
4960 4967 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
4961 4968 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
4962 4969 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
4963 4970 runtime, with @colors.
4964 4971 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
4965 4972 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
4966 4973
4967 4974 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4968 4975
4969 4976 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
4970 4977 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
4971 4978 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
4972 4979 read the startup info.
4973 4980
4974 4981 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4975 4982
4976 4983 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
4977 4984 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
4978 4985 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
4979 4986 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
4980 4987 type the better off we are.
4981 4988 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
4982 4989 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
4983 4990 before.
4984 4991
4985 4992 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4986 4993
4987 4994 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
4988 4995 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
4989 4996 this later.
4990 4997
4991 4998 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4992 4999
4993 5000 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
4994 5001 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
4995 5002 (they can be triggered by imported code).
4996 5003
4997 5004 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4998 5005
4999 5006 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5000 5007 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5001 5008 spitting out only offset information as before.
5002 5009 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5003 5010 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5004 5011
5005 5012 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5006 5013
5007 5014 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5008 5015 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5009 5016 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5010 5017 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5011 5018 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5012 5019 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5013 5020 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5014 5021 macros.
5015 5022
5016 5023 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5017 5024
5018 5025 * Released 0.2.4.
5019 5026
5020 5027 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5021 5028 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5022 5029 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5023 5030 re-execution.
5024 5031
5025 5032 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5026 5033
5027 5034 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5028 5035 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5029 5036 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5030 5037 documented, of course :)
5031 5038 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5032 5039 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5033 5040 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5034 5041
5035 5042 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5036 5043
5037 5044 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5038 5045 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5039 5046 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5040 5047
5041 5048 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5042 5049
5043 5050 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5044 5051 so I wanted an updated release).
5045 5052
5046 5053 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5047 5054
5048 5055 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5049 5056 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5050 5057 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5051 5058 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5052 5059 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5053 5060
5054 5061 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5055 5062
5056 5063 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5057 5064 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5058 5065
5059 5066 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5060 5067
5061 5068 * Released 0.2.2.
5062 5069
5063 5070 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5064 5071 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5065 5072 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5066 5073 versions.
5067 5074
5068 5075 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5069 5076 (MayaVi author).
5070 5077
5071 5078 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5072 5079
5073 5080 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5074 5081 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5075 5082 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5076 5083 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5077 5084 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5078 5085
5079 5086 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5080 5087 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5081 5088
5082 5089 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5083 5090
5084 5091 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5085 5092 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5086 5093 nice, full-blown manual.
5087 5094
5088 5095 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5089 5096 trivially simple for end-users.
5090 5097
5091 5098 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5092 5099
5093 5100 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5094 5101 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5095 5102
5096 5103 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5097 5104 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5098 5105
5099 5106 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5100 5107
5101 5108 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5102 5109 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5103 5110 people to later upgrade versions.
5104 5111
5105 5112 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5106 5113 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5107 5114 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5108 5115 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5109 5116 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5110 5117 SystemExit).
5111 5118
5112 5119 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5113 5120 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5114 5121 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5115 5122 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5116 5123 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5117 5124
5118 5125 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5119 5126 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5120 5127 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5121 5128
5122 5129 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5123 5130
5124 5131 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5125 5132 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5126 5133
5127 5134 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5128 5135 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5129 5136 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5130 5137 html docs out of it will be found).
5131 5138
5132 5139 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5133 5140
5134 5141 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5135 5142 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5136 5143
5137 5144 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5138 5145
5139 5146 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5140 5147 visiting any directory in _dh.
5141 5148
5142 5149 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5143 5150 it out with numbers.
5144 5151
5145 5152 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5146 5153
5147 5154 * Released 0.1.22
5148 5155
5149 5156 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5150 5157 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5151 5158
5152 5159 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5153 5160 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5154 5161 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5155 5162 screen the necessary mail command.
5156 5163
5157 5164 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5158 5165 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5159 5166 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5160 5167
5161 5168 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5162 5169
5163 5170 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5164 5171 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5165 5172 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5166 5173 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5167 5174 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5168 5175 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5169 5176 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5170 5177 its name).
5171 5178
5172 5179 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5173 5180 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5174 5181 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5175 5182 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5176 5183
5177 5184 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5178 5185
5179 5186 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5180 5187 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5181 5188
5182 5189 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5183 5190 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5184 5191
5185 5192 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5186 5193 completion of @-starting lines.
5187 5194
5188 5195 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5189 5196 info that other files can read from.
5190 5197
5191 5198 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5192 5199 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5193 5200 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5194 5201 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5195 5202 restores produce less errors.
5196 5203
5197 5204 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5198 5205 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5199 5206 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5200 5207 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5201 5208 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5202 5209
5203 5210 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5204 5211 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5205 5212 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5206 5213 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5207 5214 with this, finally...
5208 5215
5209 5216 * Small documentation updates.
5210 5217
5211 5218 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5212 5219 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5213 5220 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5214 5221
5215 5222 * File renaming:
5216 5223 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5217 5224 ipplib --> iplib
5218 5225 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5219 5226
5220 5227 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5221 5228 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5222 5229 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5223 5230
5224 5231 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5225 5232 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5226 5233 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5227 5234
5228 5235 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5229 5236
5230 5237 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5231 5238 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5232 5239 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5233 5240 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5234 5241
5235 5242 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5236 5243 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5237 5244 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5238 5245
5239 5246 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5240 5247 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5241 5248 road.
5242 5249
5243 5250 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5244 5251 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5245 5252 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5246 5253 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5247 5254
5248 5255 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5249 5256
5250 5257 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5251 5258 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5252 5259 file accordingly.
5253 5260
5254 5261 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5255 5262 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5256 5263 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5257 5264 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5258 5265 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5259 5266 separators and proper padding and justification.
5260 5267
5261 5268 * Released 0.1.20
5262 5269
5263 5270 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5264 5271 copy operation was missing).
5265 5272
5266 5273 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5267 5274 its output is always quite long.
5268 5275
5269 5276 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5270 5277 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5271 5278 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5272 5279 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5273 5280
5274 5281 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5275 5282 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5276 5283 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5277 5284 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5278 5285
5279 5286 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5280 5287
5281 5288 * Released 0.1.19
5282 5289
5283 5290 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5284 5291 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5285 5292
5286 5293 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5287 5294 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5288 5295 comment on 'macros').
5289 5296
5290 5297 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5291 5298
5292 5299 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5293 5300 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5294 5301 statements and takes parameters.
5295 5302
5296 5303 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5297 5304
5298 5305 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5299 5306
5300 5307 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5301 5308
5302 5309 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5303 5310 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5304 5311
5305 5312 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5306 5313 ipythonrc-* samples.
5307 5314
5308 5315 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5309 5316 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5310 5317
5311 5318 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5312 5319 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5313 5320
5314 5321 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5315 5322
5316 5323 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5317 5324 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5318 5325 convention.
5319 5326
5320 5327 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5321 5328 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5322 5329
5323 5330 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5324 5331
5325 5332 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5326 5333 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5327 5334
5328 5335 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5329 5336 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5330 5337 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5331 5338 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5332 5339 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5333 5340 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5334 5341 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5335 5342 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5336 5343 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5337 5344 works.
5338 5345
5339 5346 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5340 5347
5341 5348 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5342 5349 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5343 5350 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5344 5351 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5345 5352 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5346 5353 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5347 5354 all the editors, less does that.
5348 5355
5349 5356 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5350 5357
5351 5358 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5352 5359 crash IPython.
5353 5360
5354 5361 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5355 5362
5356 5363 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5357 5364
5358 5365 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5359 5366 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5360 5367 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5361 5368 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5362 5369 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5363 5370 work in _ofind.
5364 5371
5365 5372 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5366 5373 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5367 5374 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5368 5375 (famous last words).
5369 5376
5370 5377 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5371 5378 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5372 5379 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5373 5380 windows).
5374 5381
5375 5382 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5376 5383 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5377 5384
5378 5385 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5379 5386 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5380 5387 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5381 5388 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5382 5389
5383 5390 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5384 5391 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5385 5392 licences and announce it.
5386 5393
5387 5394 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5388 5395 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5389 5396 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5390 5397 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5391 5398
5392 5399 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5393 5400
5394 5401 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5395 5402 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5396 5403 lists.
5397 5404
5398 5405 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5399 5406 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5400 5407 are ok.
5401 5408
5402 5409 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5403 5410 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5404 5411
5405 5412 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5406 5413 this to Nathan.
5407 5414
5408 5415 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5409 5416
5410 5417 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5411 5418 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5412 5419 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5413 5420
5414 5421 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5415 5422 accepted). Cleaner.
5416 5423
5417 5424 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5418 5425 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5419 5426 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5420 5427 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5421 5428 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5422 5429
5423 5430 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5424 5431
5425 5432 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5426 5433 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5427 5434 history after a log replay.
5428 5435
5429 5436 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5430 5437 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5431 5438 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5432 5439 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5433 5440 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5434 5441 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5435 5442
5436 5443 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5437 5444 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5438 5445 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5439 5446 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5440 5447 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5441 5448
5442 5449 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5443 5450
5444 5451 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5445 5452 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5446 5453 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5447 5454 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5448 5455 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5449 5456 one: cache_size.
5450 5457
5451 5458 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5452 5459 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5453 5460 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5454 5461 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5455 5462
5456 5463 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5457 5464 @ or not).
5458 5465
5459 5466 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5460 5467 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5461 5468 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5462 5469 about licensing).
5463 5470
5464 5471 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5465 5472
5466 5473 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5467 5474 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5468 5475
5469 5476 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5470 5477 screen size for page() operations.
5471 5478
5472 5479 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5473 5480 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5474 5481 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5475 5482 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5476 5483
5477 5484 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5478 5485 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5479 5486 option name tables are clearer.
5480 5487
5481 5488 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5482 5489 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5483 5490 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5484 5491 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5485 5492 was also changed a little to align better.
5486 5493
5487 5494 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5488 5495 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5489 5496
5490 5497 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5491 5498 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5492 5499 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5493 5500
5494 5501 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5495 5502 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5496 5503 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5497 5504 he needs it.
5498 5505
5499 5506 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5500 5507
5501 5508 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5502 5509 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5503 5510 warning on it.
5504 5511
5505 5512 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5506 5513 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5507 5514 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5508 5515 was too long).
5509 5516
5510 5517 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5511 5518 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5512 5519 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5513 5520
5514 5521 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5515 5522 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5516 5523 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5517 5524 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5518 5525 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5519 5526 function for the same task.
5520 5527
5521 5528 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5522 5529
5523 5530 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5524 5531
5525 5532 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5526 5533 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5527 5534 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5528 5535
5529 5536 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5530 5537 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5531 5538 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5532 5539
5533 5540 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5534 5541 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5535 5542 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5536 5543
5537 5544 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5538 5545
5539 5546 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5540 5547
5541 5548 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5542 5549 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5543 5550 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5544 5551
5545 5552 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5546 5553
5547 5554 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5548 5555
5549 5556 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5550 5557
5551 5558 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5552 5559 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5553 5560 maintain.
5554 5561
5555 5562 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5556 5563 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5557 5564 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5558 5565 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5559 5566 compiled and startup is much faster.
5560 5567
5561 5568 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5562 5569 while without messing too much more with the code.
5563 5570
5564 5571 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5565 5572
5566 5573 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5567 5574
5568 5575 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5569 5576 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5570 5577 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5571 5578
5572 5579 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5573 5580 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5574 5581
5575 5582 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5576 5583 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5577 5584 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5578 5585 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5579 5586 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5580 5587 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5581 5588
5582 5589 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5583 5590 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5584 5591
5585 5592 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5586 5593 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5587 5594
5588 5595 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5589 5596 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5590 5597 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5591 5598 excessive.
5592 5599
5593 5600 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5594 5601 types (only first word was displayed).
5595 5602
5596 5603 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5597 5604
5598 5605 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5599 5606
5600 5607 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5601 5608 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5602 5609 travel along many directories.
5603 5610
5604 5611 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5605 5612 arguments with default values.

5607 5614 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5608 5615
5609 5616 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5610 5617 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5611 5618
5612 5619 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5613 5620
5614 5621 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5615 5622 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5616 5623 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5617 5624
5618 5625 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5619 5626
5620 5627 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5621 5628 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5622 5629 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5623 5630 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5624 5631 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5625 5632 purposes.
5626 5633
5627 5634 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5628 5635 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5629 5636 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5630 5637 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5631 5638 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5632 5639 one can simply say
5633 5640 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5634 5641 or even
5635 5642 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5636 5643
5637 5644 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5638 5645 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5639 5646 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5640 5647
5641 5648 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5642 5649 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5643 5650 they were defined in
5644 5651
5645 5652 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5646 5653
5647 5654 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5648 5655 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5649 5656 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5650 5657 these to show the same information.
5651 5658
5652 5659 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5653 5660
5654 5661 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5655 5662 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5656 5663 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5657 5664 backtracked on the whole class!)
5658 5665
5659 5666 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5660 5667 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5661 5668 everything works as before).
5662 5669
5663 5670 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5664 5671 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5665 5672 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5666 5673 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5667 5674
5668 5675 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5669 5676
5670 5677 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5671 5678
5672 5679 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5673 5680 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5674 5681
5675 5682 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5676 5683 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5677 5684 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5678 5685 this later.
5679 5686
5680 5687 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5681 5688
5682 5689 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5683 5690 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5684 5691 line option.
5685 5692
5686 5693 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5687 5694 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5688 5695 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5689 5696 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5690 5697 didn't return a result).
5691 5698
5692 5699 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5693 5700
5694 5701 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5695 5702
5696 5703 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5697 5704 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5698 5705 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5699 5706 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5700 5707
5701 5708 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5702 5709
5703 5710 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5704 5711
5705 5712 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5706 5713 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5707 5714
5708 5715 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5709 5716 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5710 5717 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5711 5718 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5712 5719 in with the next entry:
5713 5720
5714 5721 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5715 5722 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5716 5723 handling.
5717 5724
5718 5725 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5719 5726 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5720 5727 namespace protection and documentation.
5721 5728
5722 5729 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5723 5730
5724 5731 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5725 5732 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5726 5733
5727 5734 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5728 5735
5729 5736 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5730 5737
5731 5738 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5732 5739
5733 5740 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5734 5741 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5735 5742 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5736 5743 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5737 5744 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5738 5745
5739 5746 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5740 5747 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5741 5748 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5742 5749
5743 5750 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5744 5751
5745 5752 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5746 5753 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5747 5754
5748 5755 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5749 5756
5750 5757 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5751 5758
5752 5759 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5753 5760 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5754 5761 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5755 5762 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5756 5763 ScientificPython.
5757 5764
5758 5765 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5759 5766
5760 5767 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5761 5768 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5762 5769 when called with no args.
5763 5770
5764 5771 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5765 5772 closely.
5766 5773
5767 5774 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5768 5775 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5769 5776 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5770 5777 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5771 5778 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5772 5779
5773 5780 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5774 5781
5775 5782 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5776 5783 customizations there and access them via import.
5777 5784
5778 5785 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5779 5786
5780 5787 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5781 5788
5782 5789 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5783 5790 Nathan and Janko.
5784 5791
5785 5792 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5786 5793
5787 5794 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5788 5795 too long.
5789 5796
5790 5797 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5791 5798
5792 5799 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5793 5800 ?sin and sin?
5794 5801 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5795 5802 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5796 5803 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5797 5804 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5798 5805
5799 5806 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5800 5807
5801 5808 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5802 5809
5803 5810 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5804 5811 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5805 5812
5806 5813 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5807 5814 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5808 5815 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5809 5816 me).
5810 5817
5811 5818 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5812 5819 protected (reasonably).
5813 5820
5814 5821 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5815 5822 note through it (it was too long).
5816 5823
5817 5824 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5818 5825 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5819 5826 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5820 5827 parameters.
5821 5828
5822 5829
5823 5830 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5824 5831
5825 5832 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5826 5833 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5827 5834 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
5828 5835
5829 5836 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5830 5837 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5831 5838 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
5832 5839
5833 5840 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5834 5841
5835 5842 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5836 5843
5837 5844 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5838 5845
5839 5846 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5840 5847 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
5841 5848 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5842 5849 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5843 5850 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5844 5851 break.
5845 5852
5846 5853 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5847 5854 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5848 5855 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5849 5856 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5850 5857 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5851 5858 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5852 5859
5853 5860 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5854 5861 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5855 5862 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5856 5863 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5857 5864 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5858 5865 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5859 5866 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5860 5867 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5861 5868 trick.
5862 5869
5863 5870 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5864 5871 session restoring.
5865 5872
5866 5873 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5867 5874 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5868 5875 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5869 5876 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5870 5877 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5871 5878
5872 5879 * Started ChangeLog.
