 """Module for interactive demos using IPython.
 
 This module implements a few classes for running Python scripts interactively
 in IPython for demonstrations.  With very simple markup (a few tags in
 comments), you can control points where the script stops executing and returns
 control to IPython.
 
 
 Provided classes
 ================
 
 The classes are (see their docstrings for further details):
 
  - Demo: pure python demos
 
  - IPythonDemo: demos with input to be processed by IPython as if it had been
  typed interactively (so magics work, as well as any other special syntax you
  may have added via input prefilters).
 
  - LineDemo: single-line version of the Demo class.  These demos are executed
  one line at a time, and require no markup.
 
  - IPythonLineDemo: IPython version of the LineDemo class (the demo is
  executed a line at a time, but processed via IPython).
 
  - ClearMixin: mixin to make Demo classes with less visual clutter.  It
    declares an empty marquee and a pre_cmd that clears the screen before each
    block (see Subclassing below).
 
  - ClearDemo, ClearIPDemo: mixin-enabled versions of the Demo and IPythonDemo
    classes.
 
 
 Subclassing
 ===========
 
 The classes here all include a few methods meant to make customization by
 subclassing more convenient.  Their docstrings below have some more details:
 
   - marquee(): generates a marquee to provide visible on-screen markers at each
     block start and end.
 
   - pre_cmd(): run right before the execution of each block.
 
   - post_cmd(): run right after the execution of each block.  If the block
     raises an exception, this is NOT called.
     
 
 Operation
 =========
 
 The file is run in its own empty namespace (though you can pass it a string of
 arguments as if in a command line environment, and it will see those as
 sys.argv).  But at each stop, the global IPython namespace is updated with the
 current internal demo namespace, so you can work interactively with the data
 accumulated so far.
 
 By default, each block of code is printed (with syntax highlighting) before
 executing it and you have to confirm execution.  This is intended to show the
 code to an audience first so you can discuss it, and only proceed with
 execution once you agree.  There are a few tags which allow you to modify this
 behavior.
 
 The supported tags are:
 
 # <demo> stop
 
   Defines block boundaries, the points where IPython stops execution of the
   file and returns to the interactive prompt.
 
   You can optionally mark the stop tag with extra dashes before and after the
   word 'stop', to help visually distinguish the blocks in a text editor:
 
   # <demo> --- stop ---
   
 
 # <demo> silent
 
   Make a block execute silently (and hence automatically).  Typically used in
   cases where you have some boilerplate or initialization code which you need
   executed but do not want to be seen in the demo.
   
 # <demo> auto
 
   Make a block execute automatically, but still being printed.  Useful for
   simple code which does not warrant discussion, since it avoids the extra
   manual confirmation.
 
 # <demo> auto_all
 
   This tag can _only_ be in the first block, and if given it overrides the
   individual auto tags to make the whole demo fully automatic (no block asks
   for confirmation).  It can also be given at creation time (or the attribute
   set later) to override what's in the file.
 
 While _any_ python file can be run as a Demo instance, if there are no stop
 tags the whole file will run in a single block (no different that calling
 first %pycat and then %run).  The minimal markup to make this useful is to
 place a set of stop tags; the other tags are only there to let you fine-tune
 the execution.
 
 This is probably best explained with the simple example file below.  You can
 copy this into a file named ex_demo.py, and try running it via:
 
 from IPython.demo import Demo
 d = Demo('ex_demo.py')
 d()  <--- Call the d object (omit the parens if you have autocall set to 2).
 
 Each time you call the demo object, it runs the next block.  The demo object
 has a few useful methods for navigation, like again(), edit(), jump(), seek()
 and back().  It can be reset for a new run via reset() or reloaded from disk
 (in case you've edited the source) via reload().  See their docstrings below.
 
 
 Example
 =======
 
 The following is a very simple example of a valid demo file.
 
 #################### EXAMPLE DEMO <ex_demo.py> ###############################
 '''A simple interactive demo to illustrate the use of IPython's Demo class.'''
 
 print 'Hello, welcome to an interactive IPython demo.'
 
 # The mark below defines a block boundary, which is a point where IPython will
 # stop execution and return to the interactive prompt. The dashes are actually
 # optional and used only as a visual aid to clearly separate blocks while
 editing the demo code.
 # <demo> stop
 
 x = 1
 y = 2
 
 # <demo> stop
 
 # the mark below makes this block as silent
 # <demo> silent
 
 print 'This is a silent block, which gets executed but not printed.'
 
 # <demo> stop
 # <demo> auto
 print 'This is an automatic block.'
 print 'It is executed without asking for confirmation, but printed.'
 z = x+y
 
 print 'z=',x
 
 # <demo> stop
 # This is just another normal block.
 print 'z is now:', z
 
 print 'bye!'
