1 1 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 2
3 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
4 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
5
3 6 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
4 7 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
5 8 details in comments left in the code.
6 9
7 10 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
8 11 similar to what we had for Numeric.
9 12
10 13 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
11 14 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
12 15 than readline. Closes #109.
13 16
14 17 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
15 18 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
16 19
17 20 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
18 21
19 22 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
20 23 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
21 24 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
22 25 ongoing Unicode support work.
23 26
24 27 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
25 28 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
26 29 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
27 30 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
28 31
29 32 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
30 33
31 34 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
32 35 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
33 36
34 37 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
35 38
36 39 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
37 40 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
38 41 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
39 42
40 43 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
41 44
42 45 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
43 46 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
44 47 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
45 48 long definition lines for functions.
46 49
47 50 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
48 51
49 52 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
50 53 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
51 54 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
52 55 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
53 56
54 57 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
55 58
56 59 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
57 60
58 61 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
59 62
60 63 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
61 64 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
62 65 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
63 66
64 67 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
65 68 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
66 69
67 70 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
68 71 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
69 72
70 73 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
71 74
72 75 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
73 76 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
74 77 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
75 78
76 79 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
77 80
78 81 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
79 82 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
80 83
81 84 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
82 85 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
83 86 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
84 87 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
85 88 sometimes return "" as last element.
86 89
87 90 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
88 91
89 92 * IPython/completer.py
90 93 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
91 94 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
92 95 would be completed too early.
93 96
94 97 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
95 98 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
96 99 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
97 100 backwards compatibility.
98 101
99 102 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
100 103 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
101 104 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
102 105 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
103 106 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
104 107 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
105 108 also works when debugging.
106 109
107 110 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
108 111 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
109 112
110 113 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
111 114 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
112 115 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
113 116
114 117 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
115 118 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
116 119 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
117 120
118 121 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
119 122 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
120 123
121 124 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
122 125
123 126 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
124 127 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
125 128 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
126 129
127 130 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
128 131
129 132 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
130 133 to be installed alongside igrid.
131 134 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
132 135 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
133 136 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
134 137
135 138 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
136 139
137 140 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
138 141 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
139 142 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
140 143
141 144 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
142 145
143 146 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
144 147 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
145 148
146 149 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
147 150 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
148 151
149 152 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
150 153
151 154 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
152 155 as the default browser.
153 156 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
154 157 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
155 158 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
156 159 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
157 160
158 161 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
159 162
160 163 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
161 164 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
162 165 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
163 166
164 167 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
165 168
166 169 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
167 170 Close help window if exiting igrid.
168 171
169 172 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
170 173
171 174 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
172 175 before calling functions from readline.
173 176
174 177 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
175 178
176 179 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
177 180 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
178 181 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
179 182 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
180 183 falls back to idump.
181 184
182 185 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
183 186
184 187 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
185 188 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
186 189 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
187 190 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
188 191
189 192 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
190 193
191 194 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
192 195 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
193 196 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
194 197 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
195 198 %magic with explicit % prefix.
196 199
197 200 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
198 201
199 202 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
200 203 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
201 204
202 205 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
203 206
204 207 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
205 208 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
206 209 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
207 210 one wants those instead.
208 211
209 212 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
210 213 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
211 214 instead.
212 215
213 216 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
214 217
215 218 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
216 219 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
217 220 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
218 221 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
219 222
220 223 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
221 224
222 225 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
223 226 stop marks.
224 227 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
225 228 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
226 229 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
227 230
228 231 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
229 232
230 233 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
231 234 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
232 235 sumbmitted to upstream.
233 236
234 237 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
235 238
236 239 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
237 240 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
238 241 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
239 242 running into an empty levels list later.
240 243
241 244 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
242 245
243 246 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
244 247 for the noitem object.
245 248
246 249 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
247 250
248 251 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
249 252 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
250 253 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
251 254 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
252 255
253 256 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
254 257
255 258 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
256 259 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
257 260 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
258 261 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
259 262 filenames.
260 263
261 264 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
262 265 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
263 266 out-of-process ipython code.
264 267
265 268 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
266 269 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
267 270 doctesting.
268 271
269 272 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
270 273
271 274 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
272 275
273 276 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
274 277 not being correctly recognized.
275 278
276 279 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
277 280
278 281 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
279 282 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
280 283 only item.
281 284
282 285 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
283 286 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
284 287 infinite recursion for one line strings).
285 288
286 289 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
287 290
288 291 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
289 292 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
290 293 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
291 294
292 295 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
293 296
294 297 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
295 298 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
296 299 "%env VISUAL=jed".
297 300
298 301 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
299 302
300 303 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
301 304 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
302 305 but I'm not exactly sure why).
303 306
304 307 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
305 308 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
306 309
307 310 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
308 311
309 312 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
310 313 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
311 314
312 315 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
313 316 the time during IPython startup is spent.
314 317
315 318 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
316 319
317 320 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
318 321
319 322 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
320 323
321 324 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
322 325
323 326 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
324 327
325 328 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
326 329 to work properly on posix too
327 330
328 331 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
329 332
330 333 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
331 334
332 335 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
333 336 prefix + "/scripts".
334 337
335 338 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
336 339
337 340 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
338 341
339 342 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
340 343 if they already exist
341 344
342 345 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
343 346
344 347 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
345 348
346 349 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
347 350
348 351 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
349 352
350 353 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
351 354 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
352 355 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
353 356
354 357 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
355 358
356 359 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
357 360 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
358 361 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
359 362
360 363 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
361 364 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
362 365 in ipy_user_conf.py
363 366
364 367
365 368 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
366 369 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
367 370 as IPython script.
368 371
369 372 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
370 373
371 374 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
372 375
373 376 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
374 377 is called before any exception has occurred.
375 378
376 379 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
377 380
378 381 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
379 382 to translate /'s to \'s again.
380 383
381 384 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
382 385 backslash.
383 386
384 387 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
385 388
386 389 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
387 390
388 391 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
389 392 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
390 393 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
391 394
392 395 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
393 396 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
394 397
395 398 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
396 399 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
397 400
398 401 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
399 402
400 403 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
401 404
402 405 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
403 406 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
404 407
405 408 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
406 409 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
407 410 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
408 411 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
409 412 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
410 413 mapped to "%" now.
411 414 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
412 415
413 416 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
414 417
415 418 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
416 419 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
417 420 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
418 421 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
419 422
420 423 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
421 424
422 425 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
423 426 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
424 427 for shell escapes.
425 428
426 429 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
427 430
428 431 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
429 432 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
430 433 vcs_completer.
431 434
432 435 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
433 436
434 437 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
435 438 directly instead!
436 439
437 440 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
438 441
439 442 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
440 443 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
441 444
442 445 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
443 446 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
444 447 explicit.
445 448
446 449 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
447 450 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
448 451
449 452 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
450 453
451 454 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
452 455
453 456 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
454 457 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
455 458 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
456 459 implementation for Text is useless.
457 460
458 461 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
459 462
460 463 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
461 464
462 465 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
463 466
464 467 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
465 468 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
466 469 "profile"
467 470
468 471 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
469 472
470 473 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
471 474 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
472 475
473 476 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
474 477 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
475 478
476 479
477 480 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
478 481 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
479 482 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
480 483
481 484 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
482 485
483 486 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
484 487 with one from UserConfig.
485 488
486 489 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
487 490 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
488 491
489 492 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
490 493 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
491 494 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
492 495
493 496 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
494 497
495 498 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
496 499
497 500 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
498 501
499 502 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
500 503
501 504 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
502 505
503 506 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
504 507
505 508 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
506 509
507 510 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 511
509 512 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
510 513 by eval of expr with dots.
511 514
512 515 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
513 516
514 517 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
515 518 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
516 519 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
517 520 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
518 521 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
519 522 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
520 523
521 524 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
522 525
523 526 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
524 527 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
525 528 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
526 529
527 530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
528 531 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
529 532 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
530 533 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
531 534 funtionality in ipconfig.
532 535
533 536 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
534 537 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
535 538 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
536 539 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
537 540
538 541 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
539 542
540 543 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
541 544 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
542 545 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
543 546 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
544 547 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
545 548 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
546 549 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
547 550 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
548 551 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
549 552 descriptors.
550 553
551 554 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
552 555 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
553 556
554 557 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
555 558 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
556 559
557 560 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
558 561
559 562 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
560 563
561 564 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
562 565
563 566 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
564 567 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
565 568 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
566 569
567 570 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
568 571 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
569 572 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
570 573
571 574 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
572 575 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
573 576 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
574 577 ipy_stock_completers.
575 578
576 579 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
577 580
578 581 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
579 582
580 583 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
581 584 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
582 585 when filtering possible completions.
583 586
584 587 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
585 588
586 589 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
587 590 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
588 591 function
589 592
590 593
591 594 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
592 595
593 596 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
594 597 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
595 598 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
596 599 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
597 600 SVN completer.
598 601
599 602 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
600 603 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
601 604 name is %led.
602 605
603 606 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
604 607
605 608 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
606 609 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
607 610 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
608 611
609 612 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
610 613 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
611 614 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
612 615 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
613 616 hook name is 'complete_command'.
614 617
615 618 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
616 619
617 620 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
618 621 Numeric leftovers.
619 622
620 623 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
621 624 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
622 625
623 626 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
624 627 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
625 628
626 629 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
627 630 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
628 631
629 632 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
630 633 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
631 634 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
632 635
633 636 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 637
635 638 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
636 639 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
637 640 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
638 641
639 642 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
640 643 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
641 644
642 645 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
643 646
644 647 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
645 648 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
646 649 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
647 650
648 651 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 652
650 653 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
651 654 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
652 655 internal crash handler.
653 656
654 657 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
655 658 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
656 659 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
657 660 at the request of SAGE.
658 661
659 662 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
660 663
661 664 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
662 665 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
663 666
664 667 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
665 668 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
666 669 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
667 670 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
668 671
669 672 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
670 673 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
671 674 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
672 675
673 676 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
674 677
675 678 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
676 679 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
677 680 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
678 681
679 682 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
680 683 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
681 684
682 685 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
683 686
684 687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
685 688 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
686 689 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
687 690 Stefan.
688 691
689 692 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
690 693
691 694 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
692 695 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
693 696 sys.stdout.close().
694 697
695 698 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
696 699
697 700 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
698 701 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
699 702 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
700 703 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
701 704
702 705 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
703 706 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
704 707 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
705 708
706 709 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
707 710 2.5.
708 711
709 712 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
710 713 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
711 714 interactively.
712 715
713 716 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
714 717
715 718 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
716 719 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
717 720
718 721 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
719 722
720 723 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
721 724 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
722 725 or only files.
723 726
724 727 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
725 728
726 729 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
727 730 they broke unittest
728 731
729 732 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
730 733
731 734 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
732 735 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
733 736 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
734 737 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
735 738
736 739 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
737 740
738 741 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
739 742 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
740 743 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
741 744 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
742 745 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
743 746
744 747 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
745 748
746 749 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
747 750 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
748 751
749 752 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
750 753
751 754 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
752 755 the mode argument).
753 756
754 757 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
755 758
756 759 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
757 760 not running under IPython.
758 761
759 762 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
760 763 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
761 764 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
762 765 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
763 766 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
764 767 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
765 768 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
766 769 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
767 770 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
768 771 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
769 772 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
770 773 are still supported.
771 774
772 775 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
773 776 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
774 777 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
775 778 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
776 779
777 780 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
778 781 encoding into methods.
779 782
780 783 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
781 784
782 785 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
783 786 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
784 787
785 788 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
786 789
787 790 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
788 791 non existing attributes.
789 792
790 793 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
791 794
792 795 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
793 796 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
794 797
795 798 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
796 799
797 800 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
798 801 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
799 802
800 803 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
801 804
802 805 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
803 806 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
804 807 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
805 808
806 809 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
807 810
808 811 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
809 812 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
810 813 Stefan van der Walt.
811 814
812 815 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
813 816
814 817 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
815 818 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
816 819
817 820 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
818 821
819 822 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
820 823 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
821 824 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
822 825
823 826 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
824 827
825 828 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
826 829 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
827 830 attributes.
828 831
829 832 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
830 833
831 834 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
832 835 commands into the methods implementing them.
833 836
834 837 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
835 838
836 839 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
837 840 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
838 841 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
839 842
840 843 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
841 844
842 845 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
843 846 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
844 847
845 848 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
846 849
847 850 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
848 851 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
849 852
850 853 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
851 854
852 855 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
853 856 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
854 857 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
855 858 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
856 859 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
857 860 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
858 861 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
859 862 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
860 863 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
861 864 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
862 865 the x key to "delete".
863 866
864 867 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
865 868
866 869 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
867 870 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
868 871 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
869 872 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
870 873
871 874 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
872 875 prompt
873 876
874 877 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
875 878
876 879 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
877 880
878 881 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
879 882 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
880 883 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
881 884 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
882 885
883 886 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
884 887
885 888 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
886 889 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
887 890 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
888 891 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
889 892 doesn't work properly yet.
890 893
891 894 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
892 895
893 896 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
894 897 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
895 898 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
896 899
897 900 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
898 901
899 902 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
900 903 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
901 904 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
902 905 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
903 906 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
904 907 execute commands.
905 908
906 909 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
907 910
908 911 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
909 912 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
910 913
911 914 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
912 915
913 916 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
914 917 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
915 918
916 919 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
917 920
918 921 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
919 922 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
920 923 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
921 924
922 925 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
923 926
924 927 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
925 928
926 929 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
927 930 Repo tagged and release cut.
928 931
929 932 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
930 933
931 934 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
932 935 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
933 936
934 937 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
935 938 (for %upgrade)
936 939
937 940 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
938 941
939 942 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
940 943 instead of looping 20 times.
941 944
942 945 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
943 946 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
944 947 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
945 948
946 949 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
947 950 testing for release on 06/06.
948 951
949 952 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
950 953
951 954 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
952 955 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
953 956 live in people's PATH.
954 957
955 958 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
956 959 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
957 960 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
958 961 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
959 962 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
960 963
961 964 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
962 965 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
963 966
964 967 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
965 968
966 969 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
967 970 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
968 971
969 972 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
970 973
971 974 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
972 975 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
973 976 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
974 977
975 978 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
976 979
977 980 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
978 981 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
979 982 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
980 983 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
981 984
982 985 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
983 986 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
984 987 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
985 988 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
986 989
987 990 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
988 991 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
989 992 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
990 993 work.
991 994
992 995 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
993 996
994 997 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
995 998 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
996 999
997 1000 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
998 1001 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
999 1002 author William Stein.
1000 1003
1001 1004 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1002 1005 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1003 1006 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1004 1007 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1005 1008 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1006 1009 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1007 1010 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1008 1011 objects more easily.
1009 1012
1010 1013 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1011 1014
1012 1015 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1013 1016 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1014 1017 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1015 1018 by Jeffrey Collins.
1016 1019
1017 1020 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1018 1021 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1019 1022 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1020 1023 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1021 1024
1022 1025 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1023 1026 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1024 1027 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1025 1028 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1026 1029
1027 1030 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1028 1031 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1029 1032 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1030 1033 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1031 1034 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1032 1035 compatibility)
1033 1036
1034 1037 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1035 1038 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1036 1039 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1037 1040
1038 1041 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1039 1042 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1040 1043 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1041 1044 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1042 1045 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1043 1046
1044 1047 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1045 1048 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1046 1049 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1047 1050
1048 1051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1049 1052 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1050 1053 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1051 1054 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1052 1055 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1053 1056 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1054 1057 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1055 1058
1056 1059 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1057 1060 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1058 1061 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1059 1062
1060 1063 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1061 1064 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1062 1065 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1063 1066
1064 1067 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1065 1068 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1066 1069
1067 1070 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1068 1071
1069 1072 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1070 1073 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1071 1074 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1072 1075 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1073 1076 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1074 1077 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1075 1078 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1076 1079 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1077 1080 while running under SAGE.
1078 1081
1079 1082 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1080 1083
1081 1084 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1082 1085 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1083 1086 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1084 1087 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1085 1088
1086 1089 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1087 1090
1088 1091 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1089 1092 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1090 1093 updated.
1091 1094
1092 1095 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1093 1096 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1094 1097 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1095 1098 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1096 1099 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1097 1100
1098 1101 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1099 1102 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1100 1103 so more testing is needed...
1101 1104
1102 1105 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1103 1106
1104 1107 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1105 1108 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1106 1109 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1107 1110 when doing complex debugging.
1108 1111 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1109 1112 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1110 1113 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1111 1114 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1112 1115
1113 1116 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1114 1117
1115 1118 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1116 1119 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1117 1120 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1118 1121 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1119 1122
1120 1123 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1121 1124
1122 1125 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1123 1126 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1124 1127
1125 1128 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1126 1129
1127 1130 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1128 1131 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1129 1132 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1130 1133 been the one to acquire it.
1131 1134
1132 1135 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1133 1136
1134 1137 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1135 1138
1136 1139 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1137 1140
1138 1141 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1139 1142 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1140 1143 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1141 1144
1142 1145 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1143 1146 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1144 1147 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1145 1148 properly flush the output cache.
1146 1149
1147 1150 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1148 1151 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1149 1152
1150 1153 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1151 1154
1152 1155 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1153 1156 are quoted
1154 1157
1155 1158 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1156 1159
1157 1160 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1158 1161 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1159 1162
1160 1163 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1161 1164 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1162 1165
1163 1166 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1164 1167
1165 1168 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1166 1169 %upgrade magic
1167 1170
1168 1171 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1169 1172
1170 1173 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1171 1174 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1172 1175 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1173 1176
1174 1177 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1175 1178
1176 1179 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1177 1180 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1178 1181
1179 1182 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1180 1183 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1181 1184 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1182 1185 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1183 1186 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1184 1187
1185 1188 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1186 1189
1187 1190 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1188 1191 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1189 1192
1190 1193 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1191 1194
1192 1195 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1193 1196 Torsten Marek.
1194 1197
1195 1198 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1196 1199
1197 1200 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1198 1201 line ranges works again.
1199 1202
1200 1203 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1201 1204
1202 1205 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1203 1206 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1204 1207 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1205 1208 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1206 1209 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1207 1210
1208 1211 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1209 1212 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1210 1213 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1211 1214 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1212 1215 more.
1213 1216
1214 1217 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1215 1218
1216 1219 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1217 1220 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1218 1221
1219 1222 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1220 1223
1221 1224 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1222 1225 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1223 1226
1224 1227 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1225 1228
1226 1229 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1227 1230
1228 1231 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1229 1232
1230 1233 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1231 1234
1232 1235 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1233 1236 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1234 1237 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1235 1238
1236 1239 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1237 1240
1238 1241 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1239 1242 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1240 1243 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1241 1244 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1242 1245
1243 1246 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1244 1247 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1245 1248
1246 1249 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1247 1250 contributed by marienz to close
1248 1251 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1249 1252
1250 1253 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1251 1254
1252 1255 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1253 1256
1254 1257 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1255 1258 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1256 1259 nonsense.
1257 1260
1258 1261 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1259 1262
1260 1263 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1261 1264 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1262 1265
1263 1266 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1264 1267
1265 1268 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1266 1269
1267 1270 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1268 1271 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1269 1272
1270 1273 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1271 1274
1272 1275 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1273 1276 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1274 1277 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1275 1278 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1276 1279 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1277 1280 SAGE team.
1278 1281 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1279 1282 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1280 1283
1281 1284 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1282 1285 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1283 1286 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1284 1287 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1285 1288 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1286 1289
1287 1290 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1288 1291
1289 1292 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1290 1293 correctly now (on Linux)
1291 1294
1292 1295 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1293 1296 warnings
1294 1297
1295 1298 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1296 1299
1297 1300 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1298 1301
1299 1302
1300 1303 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1301 1304
1302 1305 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1303 1306 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1304 1307 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1305 1308 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1306 1309 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1307 1310 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1308 1311 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1309 1312 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1310 1313
1311 1314 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1312 1315
1313 1316 * aliases can now be %store'd
1314 1317
1315 1318 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1316 1319 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1317 1320 at __init__.
1318 1321
1319 1322 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1320 1323 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1321 1324
1322 1325 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1323 1326
1324 1327 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1325 1328 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1326 1329 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1327 1330
1328 1331 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1329 1332
1330 1333 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1331 1334
1332 1335 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1333 1336
1334 1337 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1335 1338 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1336 1339 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1337 1340 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1338 1341
1339 1342 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1340 1343 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1341 1344
1342 1345 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1343 1346
1344 1347 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1345 1348 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1346 1349 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1347 1350 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1348 1351
1349 1352 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1350 1353 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1351 1354 usage.
1352 1355
1353 1356 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1354 1357 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1355 1358 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1356 1359
1357 1360 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1358 1361
1359 1362 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1360 1363 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1361 1364
1362 1365 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1363 1366 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1364 1367 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1365 1368
1366 1369 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1367 1370
1368 1371 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1369 1372
1370 1373 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1371 1374
1372 1375 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1373 1376 are now more helpful:
1374 1377 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1375 1378
1376 1379 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1377 1380
1378 1381 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1379 1382 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1380 1383
1381 1384 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1382 1385
1383 1386 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1384 1387 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1385 1388
1386 1389 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1387 1390 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1388 1391 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1389 1392
1390 1393 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1391 1394
1392 1395
1393 1396 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1394 1397
1395 1398 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1396 1399 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1397 1400
1398 1401 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1399 1402
1400 1403 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1401 1404 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1402 1405 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1403 1406 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1404 1407 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1405 1408 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1406 1409
1407 1410 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1408 1411
1409 1412 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1410 1413 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1411 1414 \python24\scripts).
1412 1415
1413 1416 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1414 1417 egg.
1415 1418
1416 1419 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1417 1420
1418 1421 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1419 1422
1420 1423 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1421 1424
1422 1425 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1423 1426
1424 1427 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1425 1428
1426 1429 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1427 1430 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1428 1431 \python24\scripts).
1429 1432
1430 1433 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1431 1434 egg.
1432 1435
1433 1436 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1434 1437
1435 1438 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1436 1439 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1437 1440 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1438 1441
1439 1442 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1440 1443 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1441 1444 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1442 1445 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1443 1446
1444 1447 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1445 1448 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1446 1449 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1447 1450 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1448 1451 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1449 1452 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1450 1453 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1451 1454 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1452 1455 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1453 1456 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1454 1457 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1455 1458 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1456 1459
1457 1460 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1458 1461
1459 1462 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1460 1463 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1461 1464 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1462 1465 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1463 1466
1464 1467 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1465 1468
1466 1469 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1467 1470 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1468 1471 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1469 1472 importing extensions easy.
1470 1473
1471 1474 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1472 1475 classes / instances of those classes.
1473 1476
1474 1477 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1475 1478 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1476 1479 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1477 1480 the user.
1478 1481
1479 1482 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1480 1483 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1481 1484 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1482 1485
1483 1486 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1484 1487
1485 1488 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1486 1489 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1487 1490 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1488 1491 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1489 1492 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1490 1493 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1491 1494 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1492 1495 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1493 1496 the method.
1494 1497
1495 1498 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1496 1499
1497 1500 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1498 1501 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1499 1502
1500 1503 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1501 1504
1502 1505 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1503 1506 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1504 1507 Vivian.
1505 1508
1506 1509 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1507 1510 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1508 1511 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1509 1512 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1510 1513 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1511 1514
1512 1515 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1513 1516
1514 1517 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1515 1518 that returns file contents on exit.
1516 1519
1517 1520 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1518 1521 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1519 1522 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1520 1523 sc files=ls
1521 1524 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1522 1525 print p,p.mtime
1523 1526
1524 1527 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1525 1528 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1526 1529 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1527 1530 instead of syntax error.
1528 1531
1529 1532
1530 1533 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1531 1534
1532 1535 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1533 1536 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1534 1537 data.
1535 1538
1536 1539 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1537 1540 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1538 1541 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1539 1542 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1540 1543
1541 1544 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1542 1545 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1543 1546 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1544 1547 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1545 1548 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1546 1549 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1547 1550
1548 1551 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1549 1552
1550 1553 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1551 1554 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1552 1555 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1553 1556 current dir.
1554 1557
1555 1558 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1556 1559 had to create new files.
1557 1560
1558 1561 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1559 1562 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1560 1563 future.
1561 1564
1562 1565 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1563 1566 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1564 1567 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1565 1568
1566 1569
1567 1570 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1568 1571
1569 1572 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1570 1573 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1571 1574 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1572 1575 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1573 1576 later.
1574 1577
1575 1578 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1576 1579 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1577 1580
1578 1581 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1579 1582
1580 1583 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1581 1584 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1582 1585 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1583 1586 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1584 1587 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1585 1588 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1586 1589
1587 1590 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1588 1591
1589 1592 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1590 1593 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1591 1594 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1592 1595 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1593 1596 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1594 1597 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1595 1598 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1596 1599 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1597 1600 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1598 1601 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1599 1602
1600 1603 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1601 1604 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1602 1605 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1603 1606 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1604 1607
1605 1608 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1606 1609 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1607 1610 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1608 1611 "setup.py install" between changes).
1609 1612
1610 1613 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1611 1614 if 1:
1612 1615 !ls
1613 1616 !!ls
1614 1617
1615 1618 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1616 1619
1617 1620 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1618 1621 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1619 1622 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1620 1623 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1621 1624
1622 1625 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1623 1626 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1624 1627 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1625 1628
1626 1629 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1627 1630
1628 1631 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1629 1632 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1630 1633 win32.
1631 1634
1632 1635 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1633 1636
1634 1637 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1635 1638
1636 1639 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1637 1640 ready for release.
1638 1641
1639 1642 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1640 1643 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1641 1644 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1642 1645 where to copy the info from.
1643 1646
1644 1647 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1645 1648
1646 1649 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1647 1650 support in the release tools as well.
1648 1651
1649 1652 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1650 1653
1651 1654 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1652 1655 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1653 1656 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1654 1657 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1655 1658
1656 1659 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1657 1660 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1658 1661 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1659 1662
1660 1663 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1661 1664 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1662 1665
1663 1666 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1664 1667 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1665 1668 printer not to work.
1666 1669
1667 1670 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1668 1671
1669 1672 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1670 1673 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1671 1674
1672 1675 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1673 1676
1674 1677 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1675 1678 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1676 1679 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1677 1680
1678 1681 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1679 1682 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1680 1683 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1681 1684
1682 1685 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1683 1686 Ville's patch.
1684 1687
1685 1688 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1686 1689
1687 1690 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1688 1691 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1689 1692 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1690 1693 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1691 1694 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1692 1695 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1693 1696 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1694 1697
1695 1698 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1696 1699 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1697 1700 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1698 1701
1699 1702 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1700 1703
1701 1704 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1702 1705 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1703 1706
1704 1707 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1705 1708 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1706 1709 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1707 1710 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1708 1711 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1709 1712 twister).
1710 1713
1711 1714 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1712 1715 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1713 1716 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1714 1717
1715 1718 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1716 1719 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1717 1720 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1718 1721 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1719 1722 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1720 1723 something inside the dis module.
1721 1724
1722 1725 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1723 1726
1724 1727 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1725 1728 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1726 1729 follows the discussion in
1727 1730 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1728 1731
1729 1732 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1730 1733 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1731 1734 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1732 1735
1733 1736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1734 1737 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1735 1738 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1736 1739
1737 1740 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1738 1741 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1739 1742 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1740 1743 speed up this routine.
1741 1744
1742 1745 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1743 1746 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1744 1747 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1745 1748 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1746 1749 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1747 1750 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1748 1751 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1749 1752 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1750 1753
1751 1754 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1752 1755 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1753 1756 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1754 1757
1755 1758 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1756 1759 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1757 1760 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1758 1761 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1759 1762 setters don't do anything).
1760 1763
1761 1764 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1762 1765
1763 1766 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1764 1767 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1765 1768 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1766 1769 falling out of sync...)
1767 1770
1768 1771 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1769 1772 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1770 1773 as loops).
1771 1774
1772 1775 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1773 1776 win32 system access.
1774 1777
1775 1778 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1776 1779
1777 1780 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1778 1781 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1779 1782 thread-safe.
1780 1783 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1781 1784 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1782 1785 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1783 1786 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1784 1787 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1785 1788 can still happen.
1786 1789 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1787 1790 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1788 1791 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1789 1792 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1790 1793 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1791 1794 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1792 1795 cleanly.
1793 1796
1794 1797 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1795 1798 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1796 1799 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1797 1800 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1798 1801 users' persisted data.
1799 1802
1800 1803 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1801 1804 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1802 1805 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1803 1806 multiline input (such as macros).
1804 1807
1805 1808 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1806 1809 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1807 1810 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1808 1811 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1809 1812 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1810 1813 informative).
1811 1814
1812 1815 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1813 1816 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1814 1817
1815 1818 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1816 1819 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1817 1820 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1818 1821
1819 1822 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1820 1823 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1821 1824 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1822 1825 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1823 1826 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1824 1827 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1825 1828 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1826 1829 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1827 1830 details.
1828 1831
1829 1832 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1830 1833 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1831 1834 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1832 1835 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1833 1836 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1834 1837
1835 1838 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1836 1839 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1837 1840 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1838 1841 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1839 1842 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1840 1843
1841 1844 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1842 1845 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1843 1846 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1844 1847 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1845 1848 options to %logstart. Closes
1846 1849 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1847 1850 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1848 1851
1849 1852 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1850 1853
1851 1854 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1852 1855 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1853 1856 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1854 1857 list:
1855 1858 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1856 1859
1857 1860 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1858 1861
1859 1862 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1860 1863 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1861 1864 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1862 1865 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1863 1866
1864 1867 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1865 1868 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1866 1869 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1867 1870 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1868 1871 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1869 1872
1870 1873 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1871 1874 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1872 1875 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1873 1876 true by default.
1874 1877
1875 1878 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1876 1879 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1877 1880 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1878 1881 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1879 1882
1880 1883 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1881 1884
1882 1885 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1883 1886 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1884 1887 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1885 1888 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1886 1889 version committed).
1887 1890
1888 1891 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1889 1892 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1890 1893 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1891 1894 discussion on the user list.
1892 1895
1893 1896 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1894 1897 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1895 1898 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1896 1899 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1897 1900
1898 1901 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1899 1902
1900 1903 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1901 1904 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1902 1905 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1903 1906
1904 1907 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1905 1908 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1906 1909 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1907 1910
1908 1911 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1909 1912 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1910 1913 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1911 1914 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1912 1915 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1913 1916 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1914 1917 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1915 1918 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1916 1919 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1917 1920 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1918 1921 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1919 1922 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1920 1923 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1921 1924 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1922 1925 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1923 1926 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1924 1927 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1925 1928 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1926 1929 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1927 1930 branch refactoring.
1928 1931
1929 1932 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1930 1933
1931 1934 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1932 1935 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1933 1936
1934 1937 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1935 1938 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1936 1939 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1937 1940 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1938 1941 worked correctly).
1939 1942
1940 1943 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1941 1944 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1942 1945 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1943 1946
1944 1947 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1945 1948
1946 1949 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1947 1950 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1948 1951 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1949 1952 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1950 1953 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1951 1954 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1952 1955 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1953 1956 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1954 1957
1955 1958 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1956 1959
1957 1960 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1958 1961 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1959 1962 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1960 1963 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1961 1964 on this.
1962 1965
1963 1966 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1964 1967
1965 1968 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1966 1969 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1967 1970 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1968 1971 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1969 1972 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1970 1973
1971 1974 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1972 1975
1973 1976 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1974 1977 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1975 1978 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1976 1979 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1977 1980
1978 1981 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1979 1982
1980 1983 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1981 1984 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1982 1985 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1983 1986
1984 1987 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1985 1988
1986 1989 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1987 1990 startup time.
1988 1991
1989 1992 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1990 1993 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1991 1994 it's working in all cases.
1992 1995
1993 1996 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1994 1997 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1995 1998 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1996 1999 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1997 2000 per-search basis.
1998 2001
1999 2002 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2000 2003
2001 2004 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2002 2005 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2003 2006 of a patch by Jorgen.
2004 2007
2005 2008 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2006 2009
2007 2010 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2008 2011 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2009 2012 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2010 2013
2011 2014 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2012 2015
2013 2016 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2014 2017 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2015 2018 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2016 2019 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2017 2020
2018 2021 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2019 2022
2020 2023 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2021 2024 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2022 2025 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2023 2026 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2024 2027 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2025 2028 implementing this functionality.
2026 2029
2027 2030 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2028 2031
2029 2032 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2030 2033 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2031 2034 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2032 2035 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2033 2036 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2034 2037 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2035 2038 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2036 2039
2037 2040 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2038 2041
2039 2042 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2040 2043 reported by Stephen Walton.
2041 2044
2042 2045 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2043 2046
2044 2047 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2045 2048
2046 2049 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2047 2050 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2048 2051
2049 2052 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2050 2053
2051 2054 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2052 2055 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2053 2056
2054 2057 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2055 2058 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2056 2059
2057 2060 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2058 2061
2059 2062 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2060 2063 finishing.
2061 2064
2062 2065 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2063 2066 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2064 2067
2065 2068 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2066 2069 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2067 2070 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2068 2071
2069 2072 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2070 2073 code, handy in general.
2071 2074
2072 2075 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2073 2076 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2074 2077 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2075 2078
2076 2079 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2077 2080
2078 2081 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2079 2082 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2080 2083 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2081 2084 testing, though.
2082 2085 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2083 2086 like this before...
2084 2087
2085 2088 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2086 2089 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2087 2090
2088 2091 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2089 2092 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2090 2093
2091 2094 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2092 2095
2093 2096 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2094 2097 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2095 2098 F. Mantegazza.
2096 2099
2097 2100 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2098 2101
2099 2102 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2100 2103 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2101 2104 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2102 2105
2103 2106 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2104 2107 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2105 2108 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2106 2109 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2107 2110 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2108 2111 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2109 2112
2110 2113 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2111 2114
2112 2115 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2113 2116 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2114 2117 beyond readline-based environments.
2115 2118
2116 2119 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2117 2120
2118 2121 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2119 2122
2120 2123 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2121 2124 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2122 2125 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2123 2126 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2124 2127 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2125 2128
2126 2129 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2127 2130
2128 2131 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2129 2132 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2130 2133 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2131 2134
2132 2135 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2133 2136
2134 2137 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2135 2138
2136 2139 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2137 2140
2138 2141 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2139 2142 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2140 2143 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2141 2144 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2142 2145 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2143 2146 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2144 2147
2145 2148 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2146 2149
2147 2150 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2148 2151
2149 2152 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2150 2153
2151 2154 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2152 2155 invalid $HOME under win32.
2153 2156
2154 2157 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2155 2158
2156 2159 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2157 2160 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2158 2161 simpler and a bit faster.
2159 2162
2160 2163 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2161 2164 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2162 2165 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2163 2166 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2164 2167 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2165 2168
2166 2169 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2167 2170 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2168 2171 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2169 2172
2170 2173 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2171 2174 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2172 2175
2173 2176 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2174 2177 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2175 2178 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2176 2179 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2177 2180 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2178 2181 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2179 2182 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2180 2183
2181 2184 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2182 2185
2183 2186 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2184 2187
2185 2188 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2186 2189
2187 2190 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2188 2191 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2189 2192
2190 2193 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2191 2194
2192 2195 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2193 2196 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2194 2197 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2195 2198 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2196 2199 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2197 2200 for the contribution.
2198 2201
2199 2202 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2200 2203 slightly modified version of the patch in
2201 2204 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2202 2205 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2203 2206 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2205 2208 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2206 2209
2207 2210 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2208 2211 I/O a bit more.
2209 2212
2210 2213 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2211 2214 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2212 2215
2213 2216 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2215 2218 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2216 2219
2217 2220 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2218 2221 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2219 2222 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2220 2223 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2221 2224
2222 2225 readline_remove_delims -/~

2228 2231
2229 2232 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2230 2233 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2231 2234 <eli@gondolin.net>
2232 2235
2233 2236 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2234 2237
2235 2238 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2236 2239 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2237 2240
2238 2241 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2239 2242
2240 2243 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2241 2244 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2242 2245 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2243 2246
2244 2247 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2245 2248
2246 2249 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2247 2250 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2248 2251
2249 2252 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2250 2253
2251 2254 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2252 2255 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2253 2256
2254 2257 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2255 2258 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2256 2259 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2257 2260 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2258 2261 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2259 2262 for more details.
2260 2263
2261 2264 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2262 2265 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2263 2266 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2264 2267 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2265 2268
2266 2269 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2267 2270
2268 2271 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2269 2272 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2270 2273 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2271 2274 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2272 2275 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2273 2276
2274 2277 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2275 2278 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2276 2279 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2277 2280
2278 2281 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2279 2282
2280 2283 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2281 2284
2282 2285 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2283 2286
2284 2287 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2285 2288 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2286 2289 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2287 2290 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2288 2291 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2289 2292
2290 2293 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2291 2294
2292 2295 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2293 2296
2294 2297 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2295 2298 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2296 2299 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2297 2300 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2298 2301 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2299 2302
2300 2303 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2301 2304 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2302 2305 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2303 2306 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2304 2307 take the text parameter.
2305 2308
2306 2309 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2307 2310 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2308 2311 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2309 2312 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2310 2313 pysh profile to include the line
2311 2314
2312 2315 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2313 2316
2314 2317 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2315 2318 delete pysh.py and the line
2316 2319
2317 2320 execfile pysh.py
2318 2321
2319 2322 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2320 2323
2321 2324 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2322 2325 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2323 2326 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2324 2327 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2325 2328 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2326 2329
2327 2330 * pysh.py:
2328 2331
2329 2332 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2330 2333
2331 2334 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2332 2335 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2333 2336 want it can still turn it off.
2334 2337
2335 2338 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2336 2339 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2337 2340 off by default.
2338 2341
2339 2342 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2340 2343 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2341 2344 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2342 2345 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2343 2346 calls.
2344 2347
2345 2348 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2346 2349
2347 2350 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2348 2351 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2349 2352 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2350 2353
2351 2354 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2352 2355
2353 2356 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2354 2357 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2355 2358 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2356 2359 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2357 2360
2358 2361 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2359 2362 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2360 2363 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2361 2364 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2362 2365
2363 2366 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2364 2367
2365 2368 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2366 2369 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2367 2370
2368 2371 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2369 2372 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2370 2373 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2371 2374 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2372 2375 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2373 2376 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2374 2377 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2375 2378 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2376 2379
2377 2380 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2378 2381
2379 2382 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2380 2383 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2381 2384 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2382 2385 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2383 2386 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2384 2387 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2385 2388 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2386 2389 add new completers at runtime.
2387 2390
2388 2391 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2389 2392
2390 2393 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2391 2394 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2392 2395 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2393 2396 ? system.
2394 2397
2395 2398 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2396 2399 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2397 2400 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2398 2401 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2399 2402 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2400 2403 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2401 2404 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2402 2405 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2403 2406
2404 2407 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2405 2408
2406 2409 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2407 2410 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2408 2411 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2409 2412 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2410 2413 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2411 2414
2412 2415 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2413 2416 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2414 2417 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2415 2418 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2416 2419 add:
2417 2420
2418 2421 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2419 2422 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2420 2423
2421 2424 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2422 2425
2423 2426 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2424 2427 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2425 2428 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2426 2429 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2427 2430
2428 2431 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2429 2432 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2430 2433 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2431 2434 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2432 2435 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2433 2436 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2434 2437 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2435 2438 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2436 2439 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2437 2440
2438 2441 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2439 2442
2440 2443 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2441 2444 prompt namespace handling.
2442 2445
2443 2446 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2444 2447
2445 2448 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2446 2449 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2447 2450 trips the emacs python mode).
2448 2451 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2449 2452 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2450 2453 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2451 2454 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2452 2455 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2453 2456 calls will be made at runtime.
2454 2457
2455 2458 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2456 2459
2457 2460 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2458 2461 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2459 2462 the call to %history.
2460 2463
2461 2464 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2462 2465
2463 2466 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2464 2467
2465 2468 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2466 2469 ipmagic() function calls.
2467 2470
2468 2471 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2469 2472 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2470 2473
2471 2474 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2472 2475
2473 2476 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2474 2477 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2475 2478 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2476 2479 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2477 2480 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2478 2481 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2479 2482 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2480 2483 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2481 2484
2482 2485 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2483 2486
2484 2487 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2485 2488 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2486 2489 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2487 2490 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2488 2491 Ville Vainio.
2489 2492
2490 2493 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2491 2494
2492 2495 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2493 2496 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2494 2497 define the ones they personally like.
2495 2498
2496 2499 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2497 2500
2498 2501 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2499 2502 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2500 2503
2501 2504 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2502 2505
2503 2506 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2504 2507 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2505 2508
2506 2509 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2507 2510 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2508 2511 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2509 2512 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2510 2513 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2511 2514 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2512 2515 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2513 2516 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2514 2517
2515 2518 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2516 2519 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2517 2520 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2518 2521 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2519 2522 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2521 2524 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2522 2525
2523 2526 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2524 2527 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2525 2528 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2526 2529
2527 2530 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2528 2531 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2529 2532 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).

2531 2534 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2532 2535
2533 2536 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2534 2537
2535 2538 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2536 2539 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2537 2540 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2538 2541 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2539 2542 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2540 2543 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2541 2544 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2542 2545 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2543 2546 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2544 2547 system is a separate implementation).
2545 2548
2546 2549 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2547 2550 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2548 2551 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2549 2552 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2550 2553 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2551 2554 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2552 2555 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2553 2556 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2554 2557 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2555 2558 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2556 2559 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2557 2560
2558 2561 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2559 2562
2560 2563 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2561 2564 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2562 2565 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2563 2566 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2564 2567 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2565 2568 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2566 2569 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2567 2570 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2568 2571
2569 2572 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2570 2573
2571 2574 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2572 2575 previous call produced a syntax error.
2573 2576
2574 2577 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2575 2578 classes without constructor.
2576 2579
2577 2580 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2578 2581
2579 2582 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2580 2583 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2581 2584 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2582 2585 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2583 2586 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2584 2587 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2585 2588 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2586 2589
2587 2590 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2588 2591
2589 2592 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2590 2593 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2591 2594
2592 2595 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2593 2596
2594 2597 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2595 2598 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2596 2599 optimizations.
2597 2600
2598 2601 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2599 2602 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2600 2603
2601 2604 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2602 2605
2603 2606 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2604 2607 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2605 2608 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2606 2609 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2607 2610 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2608 2611 avoid annoying the lists further.
2609 2612
2610 2613 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2611 2614
2612 2615 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2613 2616
2614 2617 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2615 2618 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2616 2619 norm definitions.
2617 2620 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2618 2621 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2619 2622 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2620 2623
2621 2624 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2622 2625 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2623 2626 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2624 2627 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2625 2628 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2626 2629
2627 2630 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2628 2631 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2629 2632 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2630 2633 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2631 2634
2632 2635 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2633 2636 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2634 2637 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2635 2638 fixes.
2636 2639
2637 2640 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2638 2641 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2639 2642 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2640 2643 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2641 2644 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2642 2645 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2643 2646 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2644 2647
2645 2648 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2646 2649
2647 2650 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2648 2651
2649 2652 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2650 2653 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2651 2654 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2652 2655 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2653 2656 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2654 2657 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2655 2658 Panel.
2656 2659
2657 2660 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2658 2661 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2659 2662 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2660 2663 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2661 2664 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2662 2665
2663 2666 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2664 2667
2665 2668 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2666 2669 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2667 2670
2668 2671 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2669 2672
2670 2673 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2671 2674
2672 2675 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2673 2676 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2674 2677 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2675 2678 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2676 2679 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2677 2680 python shell.
2678 2681
2679 2682 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2680 2683 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2681 2684 on assignments. This closes
2682 2685 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2683 2686 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2684 2687 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2685 2688
2686 2689 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2687 2690
2688 2691 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2689 2692 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2690 2693
2691 2694 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2692 2695
2693 2696 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2694 2697
2695 2698 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2696 2699 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2697 2700
2698 2701 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2699 2702
2700 2703 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2701 2704 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2702 2705 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2703 2706
2704 2707 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2705 2708
2706 2709 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2707 2710 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2708 2711 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2709 2712
2710 2713 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2711 2714
2712 2715 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2713 2716 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2714 2717 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2715 2718
2716 2719 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2717 2720 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2718 2721 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2719 2722
2720 2723 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2721 2724
2722 2725 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2723 2726 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2724 2727
2725 2728 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2726 2729
2727 2730 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2728 2731 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2729 2732 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2730 2733
2731 2734 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2732 2735
2733 2736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2734 2737 reported by Prabhu.
2735 2738 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2736 2739 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2737 2740 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2738 2741
2739 2742 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2740 2743 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2741 2744
2742 2745 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2743 2746 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2744 2747 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2745 2748 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2746 2749 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2747 2750 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2748 2751
2749 2752 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2750 2753
2751 2754 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2752 2755
2753 2756 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2754 2757 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2755 2758 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2756 2759 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2757 2760
2758 2761 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2759 2762 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2760 2763
2761 2764 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2762 2765 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2763 2766 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2764 2767 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2765 2768 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2766 2769 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2767 2770 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2768 2771
2769 2772 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2770 2773 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2771 2774 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2772 2775
2773 2776 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2774 2777 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2775 2778 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2776 2779 before.
2777 2780
2778 2781 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2779 2782
2780 2783 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2781 2784 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2782 2785 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2783 2786 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2784 2787
2785 2788 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2786 2789 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2787 2790 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2788 2791 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2789 2792 timing very short-running code.
2790 2793
2791 2794 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2792 2795 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2793 2796 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2794 2797 utility.
2795 2798
2796 2799 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2797 2800 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2798 2801 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2799 2802 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2800 2803 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2801 2804 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2802 2805 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2803 2806 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2804 2807
2805 2808 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2806 2809 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2807 2810 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2808 2811
2809 2812 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2810 2813 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2811 2814 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2812 2815 is for).
2813 2816
2814 2817 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2815 2818 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2816 2819 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2817 2820 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2818 2821 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2819 2822
2820 2823 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2821 2824
2822 2825 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2823 2826 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2824 2827 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2825 2828 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2826 2829 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2827 2830
2828 2831 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2829 2832 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2830 2833 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2831 2834 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2832 2835 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2833 2836 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2834 2837
2835 2838 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2836 2839
2837 2840 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2838 2841 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2839 2842
2840 2843 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2841 2844
2842 2845 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2843 2846 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2844 2847 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2845 2848 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2846 2849
2847 2850 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2848 2851
2849 2852 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2850 2853
2851 2854 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2852 2855 setting with -d option.
2853 2856
2854 2857 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2855 2858 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2856 2859 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2857 2860 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2858 2861
2859 2862 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2860 2863
2861 2864 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2862 2865 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2863 2866
2864 2867 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2865 2868 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2866 2869 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2867 2870 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2868 2871 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2869 2872 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2870 2873 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2871 2874 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2872 2875 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2873 2876 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2874 2877 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).

2878 2881 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2879 2882 cache when empty lines were present.
2880 2883
2881 2884 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2882 2885
2883 2886 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2884 2887 options for WX and GTK.
2885 2888
2886 2889 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2887 2890
2888 2891 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2889 2892 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2890 2893 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2891 2894 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2892 2895 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2893 2896 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2894 2897 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2895 2898
2896 2899 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2897 2900 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2898 2901
2899 2902 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2900 2903
2901 2904 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2902 2905 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2903 2906 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2904 2907 many thanks.
2905 2908
2906 2909 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2907 2910 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2908 2911 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2909 2912
2910 2913 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2911 2914
2912 2915 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2913 2916 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2914 2917 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2915 2918
2916 2919 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2917 2920
2918 2921 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2922
2920 2923 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2921 2924 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2922 2925 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2923 2926
2924 2927 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2925 2928
2926 2929 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2927 2930 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2928 2931
2929 2932 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2930 2933
2931 2934 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2932 2935 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2933 2936 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2934 2937 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2935 2938 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2936 2939 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2937 2940 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2938 2941
2939 2942 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2940 2943
2941 2944 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2942 2945 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2943 2946 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2944 2947 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2945 2948
2946 2949 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2947 2950 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2948 2951
2949 2952 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2950 2953
2951 2954 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2952 2955 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2953 2956
2954 2957 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2955 2958 use throughout ipython.
2956 2959
2957 2960 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2958 2961 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2959 2962
2960 2963 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2961 2964 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2962 2965 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2963 2966 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2964 2967
2965 2968 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2969
2967 2970 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2968 2971 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2969 2972 report by Francesc Alted.
2970 2973
2971 2974 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2972 2975
2973 2976 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2974 2977 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2975 2978
2976 2979 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2977 2980
2978 2981 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2979 2982 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2980 2983 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2981 2984 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2982 2985 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2983 2986 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2984 2987 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2985 2988 correctly set.
2986 2989
2987 2990 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2988 2991
2989 2992 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2990 2993 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2991 2994 import requirement of PEP-328.
2992 2995
2993 2996 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2994 2997 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2995 2998 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2996 2999 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2997 3000
2998 3001 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2999 3002
3000 3003 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3001 3004
3002 3005 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3003 3006 via a normal python function call.
3004 3007
3005 3008 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3006 3009 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3007 3010 2.4.
3008 3011
3009 3012 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3010 3013
3011 3014 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3012 3015 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3013 3016 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3014 3017 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3015 3018 is given to the user).
3016 3019
3017 3020 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3018 3021
3019 3022 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3020 3023 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3021 3024 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3022 3025 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3023 3026
3024 3027 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3025 3028 python 2.2.
3026 3029
3027 3030 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3028 3031 banner arg for embedded customization.
3029 3032
3030 3033 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3031 3034 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3032 3035 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3033 3036 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3034 3037 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3035 3038 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3036 3039
3037 3040 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3038 3041 minor changes to debian dir.
3039 3042
3040 3043 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3041 3044 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3042 3045 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3043 3046 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3044 3047
3045 3048 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3046 3049
3047 3050 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3048 3051 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3049 3052 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3050 3053 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3051 3054 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3052 3055
3053 3056 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3054 3057
3055 3058 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3056 3059 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3057 3060
3058 3061 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3059 3062
3060 3063 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3061 3064 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3062 3065
3063 3066 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3064 3067
3065 3068 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3066 3069
3067 3070 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3068 3071 updated.
3069 3072
3070 3073 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3071 3074
3072 3075 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3073 3076 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3074 3077 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3075 3078 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3076 3079 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3077 3080
3078 3081 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3079 3082 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3080 3083 split regexp. Closes
3081 3084 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3082 3085 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3083 3086 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3084 3087 extensions.
3085 3088
3086 3089 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3087 3090 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3088 3091 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3089 3092 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3090 3093 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3091 3094
3092 3095 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3093 3096 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3094 3097 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3095 3098 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3096 3099
3097 3100 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3098 3101 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3099 3102
3100 3103 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3101 3104 fine-tune banner.
3102 3105
3103 3106 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3104 3107 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3105 3108
3106 3109 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3107 3110
3108 3111 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3109 3112 were missing.
3110 3113
3111 3114 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3112 3115 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3113 3116 valid at the command line.
3114 3117
3115 3118 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3116 3119 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3117 3120
3118 3121 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3119 3122
3120 3123 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3121 3124 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3122 3125 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3123 3126
3124 3127 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3125 3128
3126 3129 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3127 3130 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3128 3131 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3129 3132 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3130 3133 continue to use the standard profiler.
3131 3134
3132 3135 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3133 3136
3134 3137 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3135 3138 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3136 3139 close.
3137 3140
3138 3141 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3139 3142
3140 3143 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3141 3144 in Magic and ultraTB.
3142 3145
3143 3146 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3144 3147
3145 3148 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3146 3149 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3147 3150 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3148 3151 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3149 3152
3150 3153 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3151 3154 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3152 3155 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3153 3156 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3154 3157 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3155 3158 infrastructure in place.
3156 3159
3157 3160 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3158 3161
3159 3162 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3160 3163
3161 3164 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3162 3165 the pylab profile.
3163 3166
3164 3167 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3165 3168
3166 3169 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3167 3170
3168 3171 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3169 3172 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3170 3173 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3171 3174 itself.
3172 3175
3173 3176 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3174 3177 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3175 3178 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3176 3179 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3177 3180 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3178 3181 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3179 3182 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3180 3183 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3181 3184
3182 3185 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3183 3186 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3184 3187
3185 3188 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3186 3189
3187 3190 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3188 3191 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3189 3192 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3190 3193
3191 3194 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3192 3195
3193 3196 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3194 3197 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3195 3198
3196 3199 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3197 3200
3198 3201 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3199 3202
3200 3203 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3201 3204
3202 3205 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3203 3206
3204 3207 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3205 3208 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3206 3209 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3207 3210
3208 3211 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3209 3212
3210 3213 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3211 3214 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3212 3215 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3213 3216 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3214 3217 works.
3215 3218
3216 3219 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3217 3220 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3218 3221 practice.
3219 3222
3220 3223 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3221 3224
3222 3225 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3223 3226 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3224 3227 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3225 3228
3226 3229 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3227 3230
3228 3231 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3229 3232 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3230 3233 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3231 3234 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3232 3235
3233 3236 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3234 3237
3235 3238 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3236 3239 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3237 3240 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3238 3241 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3239 3242
3240 3243 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3241 3244
3242 3245 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3243 3246
3244 3247 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3245 3248 fail for any number.
3246 3249 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3247 3250 empty bookmarks.
3248 3251
3249 3252 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3250 3253
3251 3254 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3252 3255
3253 3256 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3254 3257
3255 3258 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3256 3259 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3257 3260
3258 3261 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3259 3262 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3260 3263
3261 3264 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3262 3265
3263 3266 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3264 3267 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3265 3268 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3266 3269 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3267 3270 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3268 3271
3269 3272 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3270 3273
3271 3274 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3272 3275 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3273 3276
3274 3277 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3275 3278
3276 3279 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3277 3280 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3278 3281 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3279 3282 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3280 3283
3281 3284 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3282 3285 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3283 3286 Schmolck.
3284 3287
3285 3288 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3286 3289
3287 3290 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3288 3291
3289 3292 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3290 3293 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3291 3294
3292 3295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3293 3296 optimizations.
3294 3297
3295 3298 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3296 3299 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3297 3300
3298 3301 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3299 3302 --Started changelog.
3300 3303 --make clear do what it say it does
3301 3304 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3302 3305 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3303 3306 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3304 3307 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3305 3308 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3306 3309 can be done for other cases.
3307 3310 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3308 3311 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3309 3312 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3310 3313
3311 3314 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3312 3315 --added logfile rotation
3313 3316 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3314 3317
3315 3318 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3316 3319 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3317 3320 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3318 3321 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3319 3322 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3320 3323 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3321 3324 --added global logfile option
3322 3325 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3323 3326 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3324 3327
3325 3328 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3326 3329 --added a README
3327 3330 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3328 3331 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3329 3332 bug or feature.
3330 3333 --changed rc file for new behavior
3331 3334
3332 3335 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3333 3336
3334 3337 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3335 3338 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3336 3339 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3337 3340
3338 3341 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3339 3342 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3340 3343
3341 3344 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3342 3345
3343 3346 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3344 3347 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3345 3348 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3346 3349 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3347 3350 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3348 3351 and prepended with a #.
3349 3352
3350 3353 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3351 3354 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3352 3355
3353 3356 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3354 3357
3355 3358 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3356 3359 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3357 3360
3358 3361 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3359 3362
3360 3363 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3361 3364 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3362 3365
3363 3366 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3364 3367
3365 3368 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3366 3369 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3367 3370 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3368 3371
3369 3372 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3373
3371 3374 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3372 3375 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3373 3376
3374 3377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3375 3378 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3376 3379 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3377 3380 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3378 3381 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3379 3382 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3380 3383 be implemented later).
3381 3384
3382 3385 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3383 3386 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3384 3387 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3385 3388 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3386 3389
3387 3390 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3388 3391 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3389 3392 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3390 3393
3391 3394 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3392 3395 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3393 3396
3394 3397 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3395 3398 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3396 3399 readline make it impossible to go further.
3397 3400
3398 3401 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3399 3402
3400 3403 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3401 3404 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3402 3405
3403 3406 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3404 3407
3405 3408 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3406 3409 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3407 3410 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3408 3411 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3409 3412
3410 3413 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3411 3414 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3412 3415 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3413 3416 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3414 3417
3415 3418 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3416 3419 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3417 3420 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3418 3421 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3419 3422 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3420 3423 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3421 3424 problem.
3422 3425
3423 3426 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3424 3427 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3425 3428
3426 3429 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3427 3430 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3428 3431 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3429 3432
3430 3433 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3434
3432 3435 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3433 3436 continue prompts.
3434 3437
3435 3438 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3436 3439 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3437 3440 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3438 3441 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3439 3442 byte-compilation saves time.
3440 3443
3441 3444 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3442 3445
3443 3446 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3444 3447 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3445 3448
3446 3449 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3447 3450 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3448 3451
3449 3452 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3450 3453 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3451 3454 common cases where it's a problem.
3452 3455
3453 3456 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3454 3457
3455 3458 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3456 3459 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3457 3460 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3458 3461 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3459 3462 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3460 3463 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3461 3464
3462 3465 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3463 3466
3464 3467 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3465 3468 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3466 3469
3467 3470 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3468 3471 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3469 3472 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3470 3473 structure as win_exec_ext.
3471 3474
3472 3475 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3473 3476 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3474 3477
3475 3478 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3476 3479 delete aliases.
3477 3480
3478 3481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3479 3482 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3480 3483
3481 3484 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3482 3485
3483 3486 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3484 3487 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3485 3488
3486 3489 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3487 3490
3488 3491 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3489 3492 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3490 3493
3491 3494 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3492 3495 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3493 3496
3494 3497 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3495 3498 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3496 3499 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3497 3500 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3498 3501 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3499 3502 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3500 3503
3501 3504 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3502 3505 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3503 3506 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3504 3507
3505 3508 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3506 3509 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3507 3510 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3508 3511
3509 3512 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3510 3513 via an extra $. For example:
3511 3514
3512 3515 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3513 3516
3514 3517 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3515 3518 a python variable
3516 3519
3517 3520 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3518 3521 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3519 3522
3520 3523 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3521 3524 things prematurely.
3522 3525
3523 3526 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3524 3527 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3525 3528
3526 3529 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3527 3530 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3528 3531 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3529 3532 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3530 3533 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3531 3534 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3532 3535 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3533 3536 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3534 3537
3535 3538 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3536 3539 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3537 3540 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3538 3541 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3539 3542 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3540 3543 with the old system).
3541 3544
3542 3545 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3543 3546
3544 3547 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3545 3548 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3546 3549
3547 3550 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3548 3551 call to eval.
3549 3552 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3550 3553 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3551 3554 in.
3552 3555
3553 3556 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3554 3557
3555 3558 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3556 3559 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3557 3560 confusion).
3558 3561
3559 3562 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3560 3563 check for Windows users.
3561 3564
3562 3565 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3563 3566 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3564 3567 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3565 3568 download it.
3566 3569
3567 3570 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3568 3571
3569 3572 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3570 3573 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3571 3574 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3572 3575 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3573 3576 of IDLE's out).
3574 3577
3575 3578 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3576 3579 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3577 3580 eventually.
3578 3581 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3579 3582
3580 3583 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3584
3582 3585 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3583 3586 list of auto-defined aliases.
3584 3587
3585 3588 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3586 3589
3587 3590 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3588 3591 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3589 3592 things under Windows).
3590 3593
3591 3594 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3595
3593 3596 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3594 3597 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug

3597 3600 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3598 3601
3599 3602 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3600 3603 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3601 3604 for all examples and the manual as well.
3602 3605
3603 3606 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3604 3607
3605 3608 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3606 3609 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3607 3610 inherit from BasePrompt.
3608 3611
3609 3612 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3610 3613 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3611 3614
3612 3615 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3613 3616 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3614 3617 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3615 3618 defaults.
3616 3619 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3617 3620 this fix manually!
3618 3621
3619 3622 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3620 3623 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3621 3624 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3622 3625 distutils).
3623 3626
3624 3627 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3625 3628 usage of new '\D' escape.
3626 3629
3627 3630 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3628 3631 lacks os.getuid())
3629 3632 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3630 3633 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3631 3634 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3632 3635 handling mechanism.
3633 3636 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3634 3637 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3635 3638 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3636 3639 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3637 3640 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3638 3641 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3639 3642 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3640 3643
3641 3644 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3642 3645
3643 3646 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3644 3647 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3645 3648 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3646 3649
3647 3650 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3648 3651 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3649 3652 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3650 3653 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3651 3654 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3652 3655 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3653 3656 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3654 3657 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3655 3658
3656 3659 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3657 3660 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3658 3661 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3659 3662 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3660 3663 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3661 3664 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3662 3665 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3663 3666 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3664 3667
3665 3668 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3666 3669 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3667 3670 functions uniform.
3668 3671 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3669 3672
3670 3673 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3671 3674 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3672 3675 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3673 3676 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3674 3677 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3675 3678 use to parse their options.
3676 3679
3677 3680 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3678 3681 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3679 3682 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3680 3683
3681 3684 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3682 3685 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3683 3686 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3684 3687 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3685 3688 via the prompt_specials.
3686 3689
3687 3690 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3688 3691
3689 3692 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3690 3693 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3691 3694 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3692 3695 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3693 3696 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3694 3697 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3695 3698 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3696 3699 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3697 3700
3698 3701 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3699 3702
3700 3703 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3701 3704 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3702 3705 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3703 3706
3704 3707 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3705 3708
3706 3709 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3707 3710 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3708 3711
3709 3712 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3710 3713
3711 3714 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3712 3715 parens would get passed to the shell.
3713 3716
3714 3717 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3715 3718
3716 3719 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3717 3720 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3718 3721
3719 3722 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3720 3723 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3721 3724 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3722 3725 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3723 3726 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3724 3727
3725 3728 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3726 3729 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3727 3730 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3728 3731 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3729 3732
3730 3733 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3731 3734
3732 3735 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3733 3736
3734 3737 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3735 3738 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3736 3739 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3737 3740
3738 3741 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3739 3742 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3740 3743 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3741 3744 official documentation.
3742 3745
3743 3746 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3744 3747
3745 3748 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3746 3749 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3747 3750 explicit filename.
3748 3751
3749 3752 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3750 3753
3751 3754 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3752 3755 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3753 3756 case.
3754 3757
3755 3758 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3756 3759 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3757 3760 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3758 3761
3759 3762 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3760 3763
3761 3764 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3762 3765
3763 3766 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3764 3767 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3765 3768 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3766 3769 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3767 3770 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3768 3771 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3769 3772 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3770 3773 any changes to python proper.
3771 3774
3772 3775 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3773 3776 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3774 3777 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3775 3778 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3776 3779 Schmolck.
3777 3780
3778 3781 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3779 3782
3780 3783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3781 3784 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3782 3785 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3783 3786 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3784 3787
3785 3788 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3786 3789
3787 3790 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3788 3791 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3789 3792 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3790 3793 name).
3791 3794
3792 3795 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3793 3796 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3794 3797 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3795 3798 Francois Pinard.
3796 3799
3797 3800 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3798 3801
3799 3802 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3800 3803 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3801 3804 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3802 3805 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3803 3806 not work.
3804 3807
3805 3808 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3806 3809
3807 3810 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3808 3811 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3809 3812 distinguishes stdout/err.
3810 3813
3811 3814 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3812 3815 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3813 3816 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3814 3817 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3815 3818 the standard library.
3816 3819
3817 3820 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3818 3821 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3819 3822
3820 3823 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3821 3824 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3822 3825
3823 3826 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3827
3825 3828 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3826 3829 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3827 3830 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3828 3831 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3829 3832 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3830 3833 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3831 3834
3832 3835 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3833 3836
3834 3837 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3835 3838 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3836 3839 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3837 3840 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3838 3841
3839 3842 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3840 3843
3841 3844 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3842 3845 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3843 3846 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3844 3847 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3845 3848
3846 3849 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3847 3850
3848 3851 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3849 3852 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3850 3853 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3851 3854 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3852 3855 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3853 3856 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3854 3857 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3855 3858 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3856 3859
3857 3860 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3858 3861
3859 3862 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3860 3863 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3861 3864
3862 3865 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3863 3866
3864 3867 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3865 3868 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3866 3869 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3867 3870 very short.
3868 3871
3869 3872 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3870 3873
3871 3874 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3872 3875 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3873 3876 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3874 3877 this before making it permanent.
3875 3878
3876 3879 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3877 3880 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3878 3881 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3879 3882 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3880 3883
3881 3884 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3882 3885
3883 3886 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3884 3887 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3885 3888
3886 3889 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3887 3890
3888 3891 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3889 3892 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3890 3893 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3891 3894 cases I've missed.
3892 3895
3893 3896 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3894 3897
3895 3898 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3896 3899 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3897 3900 system would be triggered for @p.
3898 3901
3899 3902 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3900 3903 cleanups, code unmodified.
3901 3904
3902 3905 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3903 3906 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3904 3907 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3905 3908 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3906 3909 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3907 3910 The actual changes affect many files.
3908 3911
3909 3912 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3910 3913
3911 3914 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3912 3915 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3913 3916 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3914 3917
3915 3918 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3916 3919
3917 3920 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3918 3921 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3919 3922
3920 3923 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3921 3924
3922 3925 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3923 3926 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3924 3927 numpy list.
3925 3928
3926 3929 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3927 3930
3928 3931 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3929 3932 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3930 3933 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3931 3934 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3932 3935
3933 3936 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3934 3937
3935 3938 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3936 3939 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3937 3940 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3938 3941 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3939 3942
3940 3943 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3941 3944 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3942 3945
3943 3946 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3944 3947
3945 3948 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3946 3949 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3947 3950 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3948 3951 Collins.
3949 3952

3952 3955 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3953 3956
3954 3957 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3955 3958 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3956 3959 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3957 3960
3958 3961 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3959 3962
3960 3963 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3961 3964 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3962 3965 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3963 3966 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3964 3967
3965 3968 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3966 3969 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3967 3970 __getitem__ and __call__.
3968 3971
3969 3972 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1

3971 3974 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3972 3975
3973 3976 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3974 3977 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3975 3978 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3976 3979 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3977 3980
3978 3981 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3979 3982 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3980 3983 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3981 3984 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3982 3985 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3983 3986 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3984 3987 necessary.
3985 3988
3986 3989 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3987 3990 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3988 3991 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3989 3992
3990 3993 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3991 3994 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3992 3995 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3993 3996 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3994 3997
3995 3998 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3996 3999 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3997 4000 generators.
3998 4001
3999 4002 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4000 4003 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4001 4004 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4002 4005 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4003 4006 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4004 4007 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4005 4008 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4006 4009
4007 4010 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4008 4011 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4009 4012 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4010 4013 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4011 4014 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4012 4015
4013 4016 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4014 4017 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4015 4018 edit under some circumstances.
4016 4019 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4017 4020 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4018 4021 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4019 4022 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4020 4023 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4021 4024 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4022 4025 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4023 4026 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4024 4027 need more testing.
4025 4028
4026 4029 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4027 4030
4028 4031 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4029 4032 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4030 4033 and simpler code.
4031 4034
4032 4035 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4033 4036
4034 4037 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4035 4038 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4036 4039 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4037 4040 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4038 4041 even if they were contiguous.
4039 4042 (l1norm): Added this function.
4040 4043 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4041 4044 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4042 4045 and speed.
4043 4046
4044 4047 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4045 4048
4046 4049 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4047 4050 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4048 4051 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4049 4052
4050 4053 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4051 4054
4052 4055 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4053 4056 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4054 4057 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4055 4058
4056 4059 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4057 4060 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4058 4061 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4059 4062
4060 4063 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4061 4064
4062 4065 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4063 4066 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4064 4067 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4065 4068 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4066 4069 activity.
4067 4070
4068 4071 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4069 4072
4070 4073 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4071 4074 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4072 4075 Numeric.identity)
4073 4076
4074 4077 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4075 4078
4076 4079 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4077 4080 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4078 4081 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4079 4082
4080 4083 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4084
4082 4085 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4083 4086 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4084 4087 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4085 4088 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4086 4089
4087 4090 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4088 4091 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4089 4092 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4090 4093 is implemented).
4091 4094
4092 4095 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4093 4096
4094 4097 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4095 4098 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4096 4099 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4097 4100
4098 4101 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4099 4102 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4100 4103 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4101 4104 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4102 4105 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4103 4106
4104 4107 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4105 4108
4106 4109 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4107 4110
4108 4111 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4109 4112 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4110 4113 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4111 4114
4112 4115 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4113 4116
4114 4117 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4115 4118 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4116 4119 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4117 4120
4118 4121 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4119 4122 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4120 4123 crash report from Prabhu.
4121 4124
4122 4125 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4123 4126
4124 4127 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4125 4128 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4126 4129 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4127 4130 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4128 4131 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4129 4132 also be useful in other cases.
4130 4133
4131 4134 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4132 4135 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4133 4136 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4134 4137
4135 4138 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4136 4139
4137 4140 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4138 4141
4139 4142 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4140 4143 installing for a new user under Windows.
4141 4144
4142 4145 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4143 4146
4144 4147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4145 4148 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4146 4149 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4147 4150 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4148 4151 there.
4149 4152
4150 4153 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4151 4154 info to crash reports.
4152 4155
4153 4156 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4154 4157 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4155 4158 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4156 4159 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4157 4160
4158 4161 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4159 4162
4160 4163 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4161 4164 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4162 4165 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4163 4166 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4164 4167
4165 4168 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4169
4167 4170 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4168 4171 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4169 4172
4170 4173 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4171 4174
4172 4175 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4173 4176 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4174 4177
4175 4178 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4176 4179
4177 4180 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4178 4181
4179 4182 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4180 4183 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4181 4184 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4182 4185
4183 4186 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4184 4187 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4185 4188 with the new auto-indent option.
4186 4189
4187 4190 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4188 4191
4189 4192 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4190 4193 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4191 4194 this class from the main Shell class.
4192 4195
4193 4196 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4194 4197 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4195 4198 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4196 4199 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4197 4200 option).
4198 4201
4199 4202 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4200 4203 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4201 4204 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4202 4205 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4203 4206 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4204 4207
4205 4208 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4206 4209 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4207 4210 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4208 4211
4209 4212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4210 4213 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4211 4214 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4212 4215 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4213 4216 tracebacks.
4214 4217
4215 4218 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4216 4219 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4217 4220 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4218 4221
4219 4222 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4220 4223
4221 4224 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4222 4225 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4223 4226 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4224 4227 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4225 4228
4226 4229 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4227 4230
4228 4231 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4229 4232 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4230 4233 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4231 4234 for the bug report.
4232 4235
4233 4236 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4234 4237
4235 4238 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4236 4239 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4237 4240 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4238 4241 report.
4239 4242
4240 4243 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4241 4244
4242 4245 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4243 4246 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4244 4247 end).
4245 4248
4246 4249 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4247 4250 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4248 4251 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4249 4252
4250 4253 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4251 4254
4252 4255 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4253 4256 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4254 4257 for the patch.
4255 4258
4256 4259 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4257 4260
4258 4261 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4259 4262 functions.
4260 4263

4264 4267
4265 4268 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4266 4269 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4267 4270 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4268 4271 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4269 4272 private fix.
4270 4273
4271 4274 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4272 4275 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4273 4276 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4274 4277 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4275 4278 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4276 4279 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4277 4280 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4278 4281 fixed for this setup.
4279 4282
4280 4283 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4281 4284 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.

4285 4288 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4286 4289
4287 4290 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4288 4291 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4289 4292 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4290 4293 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4291 4294 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4292 4295 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4293 4296 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4294 4297 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4295 4298 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4296 4299
4297 4300 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4298 4301 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4299 4302 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.

4305 4308 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4306 4309 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4307 4310 pickle-related issue in @run).
4308 4311
4309 4312 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4310 4313
4311 4314 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4312 4315 the autocall option at runtime.
4313 4316 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4314 4317 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4315 4318 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4316 4319 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4317 4320 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4318 4321 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4319 4322 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4320 4323 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4321 4324 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4322 4325 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4323 4326 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4324 4327 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4325 4328 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4326 4329 pickles to save something sensible.
4327 4330
4328 4331 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4329 4332
4330 4333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4331 4334 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4332 4335 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4333 4336
4334 4337 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4335 4338
4336 4339 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4337 4340 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4338 4341
4339 4342 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4340 4343
4341 4344 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4342 4345 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4343 4346 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4344 4347 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4345 4348
4346 4349 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4350
4348 4351 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4349 4352 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4350 4353 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4351 4354 array is non-contiguous.
4352 4355
4353 4356 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4354 4357
4355 4358 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4356 4359 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4357 4360 executed).
4358 4361 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4359 4362 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4360 4363 output.
4361 4364 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4362 4365 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4363 4366 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4364 4367 changing.
4365 4368
4366 4369 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4367 4370
4368 4371 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4369 4372
4370 4373 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4371 4374 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4372 4375 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4373 4376 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4374 4377 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4375 4378 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4376 4379 like a normal command-line.
4377 4380
4378 4381 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4379 4382 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4380 4383 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4381 4384 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4382 4385
4383 4386 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4384 4387
4385 4388 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4386 4389 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4387 4390 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4388 4391 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4389 4392
4390 4393 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4391 4394
4392 4395 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4393 4396 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4394 4397 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4395 4398 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4396 4399 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4397 4400 think it's worth doing.
4398 4401
4399 4402 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4400 4403
4401 4404 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4402 4405
4403 4406 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4404 4407 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4405 4408
4406 4409 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4407 4410 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4408 4411 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4409 4412 also work ok.
4410 4413
4411 4414 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4412 4415
4413 4416 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4414 4417
4415 4418 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4416 4419
4417 4420 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4418 4421 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4419 4422 of gnuplot data files.
4420 4423
4421 4424 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4422 4425
4423 4426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4424 4427 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4425 4428
4426 4429 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4427 4430
4428 4431 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4429 4432 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4430 4433 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4431 4434 for pointing this out.
4432 4435
4433 4436 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4434 4437
4435 4438 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4436 4439
4437 4440 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4438 4441 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4439 4442 Interactive.
4440 4443
4441 4444 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4442 4445 being imported from iplib.
4443 4446
4444 4447 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4445 4448 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4446 4449 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4447 4450 common name.
4448 4451
4449 4452 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4450 4453 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4451 4454
4452 4455 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4453 4456 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4454 4457
4455 4458 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4456 4459 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4457 4460 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4458 4461 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4459 4462 docstrings).
4460 4463
4461 4464 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4462 4465
4463 4466 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4464 4467 (inconsistent with options).
4465 4468
4466 4469 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4467 4470 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4468 4471 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4469 4472 eps output.
4470 4473
4471 4474 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4472 4475
4473 4476 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4474 4477 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4475 4478 Pinard.
4476 4479
4477 4480 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4478 4481
4479 4482 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4480 4483 history file for new users.
4481 4484 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4482 4485 user running in the .ipython dir.
4483 4486 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4484 4487 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4485 4488 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4486 4489
4487 4490 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4488 4491 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4489 4492 consistently.
4490 4493
4491 4494 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4492 4495 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4493 4496 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4494 4497 libraries I don't have access to.
4495 4498
4496 4499 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4497 4500 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4498 4501 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4499 4502 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4500 4503 report.
4501 4504
4502 4505 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4503 4506
4504 4507 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4505 4508 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4506 4509 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4507 4510 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4508 4511
4509 4512 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4510 4513
4511 4514 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4512 4515 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4513 4516 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4514 4517 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4515 4518 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4516 4519 instance has been created.
4517 4520
4518 4521 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4519 4522 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4520 4523 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4521 4524 dict by hand.
4522 4525
4523 4526 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4524 4527
4525 4528 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4526 4529 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4527 4530 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4528 4531 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4529 4532 broken.
4530 4533
4531 4534 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4532 4535 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4533 4536 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4534 4537 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4535 4538
4536 4539 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4537 4540 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4538 4541 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4539 4542 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4540 4543 is a valid one.
4541 4544
4542 4545 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4543 4546 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4544 4547 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4545 4548
4546 4549 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4547 4550 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4548 4551 simply leftover junk.
4549 4552
4550 4553 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4551 4554
4552 4555 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4553 4556 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4554 4557 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4555 4558
4556 4559 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4557 4560 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4558 4561 exceptions.
4559 4562
4560 4563 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4561 4564
4562 4565 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4563 4566 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4564 4567 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4565 4568 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4566 4569 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4567 4570
4568 4571 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4569 4572 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4570 4573
4571 4574 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4572 4575 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4573 4576 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4574 4577 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4575 4578 problem mentioned below.
4576 4579
4577 4580 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4578 4581
4579 4582 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4580 4583 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4581 4584
4582 4585 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4583 4586 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4584 4587 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4585 4588 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4586 4589 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4587 4590
4588 4591 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4589 4592 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4590 4593 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4591 4594 actual function names.
4592 4595
4593 4596 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4594 4597 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4595 4598 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4596 4599 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4597 4600 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4598 4601 really be only function/method names.
4599 4602
4600 4603 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4601 4604
4602 4605 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4603 4606 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4604 4607 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4605 4608
4606 4609 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4607 4610
4608 4611 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4609 4612 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4610 4613 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4611 4614
4612 4615 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4613 4616 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4614 4617
4615 4618 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4616 4619 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4617 4620 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4618 4621
4619 4622 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4620 4623 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4621 4624 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4622 4625
4623 4626 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4624 4627 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4625 4628 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4626 4629
4627 4630 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4628 4631
4629 4632 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4630 4633 Gnuplot.File objects.
4631 4634
4632 4635 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4633 4636
4634 4637 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4635 4638 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4636 4639 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4637 4640
4638 4641 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4639 4642
4640 4643 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4641 4644 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4642 4645
4643 4646 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4644 4647 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4645 4648
4646 4649 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4647 4650 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4648 4651
4649 4652 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4650 4653
4651 4654 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4652 4655 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4653 4656 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4654 4657 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4655 4658
4656 4659 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4657 4660
4658 4661 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4659 4662 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4660 4663 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4661 4664
4662 4665 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4663 4666
4664 4667 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4665 4668 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4666 4669 workaround).
4667 4670
4668 4671 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4669 4672
4670 4673 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4671 4674 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4672 4675
4673 4676 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4674 4677
4675 4678 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4676 4679 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4677 4680
4678 4681 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4679 4682 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4680 4683 .strip() is called on it.
4681 4684
4682 4685
4683 4686 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4684 4687
4685 4688 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4686 4689 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4687 4690 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4688 4691
4689 4692 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4690 4693 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4691 4694
4692 4695 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4693 4696 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4694 4697 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4695 4698
4696 4699 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4697 4700
4698 4701 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4699 4702 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4700 4703 __main__.
4701 4704
4702 4705 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4703 4706 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4704 4707
4705 4708 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4706 4709 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4707 4710 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4708 4711 Mathematica behaves.
4709 4712
4710 4713 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4711 4714
4712 4715 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4713 4716 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4714 4717
4715 4718 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4716 4719 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4717 4720 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4718 4721
4719 4722 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4720 4723 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4721 4724
4722 4725 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4726
4724 4727 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4725 4728 underflow problems in Numeric.
4726 4729 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4727 4730 for exact integer powers of 2.
4728 4731
4729 4732 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4730 4733 properly.
4731 4734
4732 4735 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4733 4736
4734 4737 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4735 4738 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4736 4739
4737 4740 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4738 4741
4739 4742 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4740 4743 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4741 4744
4742 4745 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4746
4744 4747 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4745 4748 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4746 4749 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4747 4750 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4748 4751 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4749 4752 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4750 4753 times).
4751 4754
4752 4755 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4753 4756 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4754 4757 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4755 4758
4756 4759 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4757 4760
4758 4761 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4759 4762 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4760 4763 embedded code.
4761 4764
4762 4765 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4763 4766 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4764 4767 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4765 4768
4766 4769 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4767 4770 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4768 4771 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4769 4772 less special-casing to remember.
4770 4773
4771 4774 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4772 4775
4773 4776 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4774 4777 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4775 4778 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4776 4779 arg is not a defined object.
4777 4780 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4778 4781 a Mike Heeter idea.
4779 4782
4780 4783 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4781 4784 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4782 4785 interactive use.
4783 4786
4784 4787 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4785 4788 filenames.
4786 4789
4787 4790 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4788 4791
4789 4792 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4790 4793 initialization via another struct.
4791 4794
4792 4795 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4793 4796 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4794 4797
4795 4798 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4796 4799
4797 4800 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4798 4801 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4799 4802 too big).
4800 4803
4801 4804 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4802 4805
4803 4806 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4804 4807 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4805 4808 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4806 4809 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4807 4810
4808 4811 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4809 4812
4810 4813 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4811 4814 macros having broken.
4812 4815
4813 4816 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4814 4817
4815 4818 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4816 4819 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4817 4820 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4818 4821 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4819 4822 not to lists.
4820 4823
4821 4824 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4822 4825
4823 4826 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4824 4827 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4825 4828 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4826 4829
4827 4830 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4828 4831 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4829 4832
4830 4833 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4831 4834 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4832 4835 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4833 4836
4834 4837 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4835 4838 triple-quoted strings.
4836 4839
4837 4840 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4838 4841 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4839 4842 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4840 4843 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4841 4844 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4842 4845 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4843 4846
4844 4847 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4845 4848
4846 4849 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4847 4850 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4848 4851 ultraTB).
4849 4852
4850 4853 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4851 4854
4852 4855 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4853 4856 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4854 4857 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4855 4858 user's 'g' variables).
4856 4859
4857 4860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4858 4861 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4859 4862 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4860 4863 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4861 4864 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4862 4865 macros.
4863 4866
4864 4867 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4868
4866 4869 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4867 4870 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4868 4871
4869 4872 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4870 4873 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4871 4874 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4872 4875
4873 4876 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4874 4877
4875 4878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4876 4879 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4877 4880 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4878 4881 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4879 4882 aliases.
4880 4883
4881 4884 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4882 4885
4883 4886 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4884 4887 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4885 4888 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4886 4889 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4887 4890
4888 4891 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4889 4892
4890 4893 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4891 4894 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4892 4895 user-defined functions overrode them.
4893 4896
4894 4897 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4895 4898
4896 4899 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4897 4900 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4898 4901
4899 4902 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4900 4903
4901 4904 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4902 4905 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4903 4906 IPython.
4904 4907
4905 4908 * Released 0.2.13
4906 4909
4907 4910 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4908 4911 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4909 4912 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4910 4913 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4911 4914
4912 4915 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4913 4916
4914 4917 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4915 4918 magic properly formatted for screen.
4916 4919
4917 4920 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4918 4921 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4919 4922
4920 4923 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4921 4924 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4922 4925 etc.)
4923 4926
4924 4927 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4925 4928
4926 4929 * Released 0.2.12
4927 4930
4928 4931 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4929 4932
4930 4933 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4931 4934 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4932 4935 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4933 4936 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4934 4937 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4935 4938 an alias to @run -i.
4936 4939
4937 4940 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4938 4941 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4939 4942
4940 4943 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4941 4944
4942 4945 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4943 4946 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4944 4947 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4945 4948
4946 4949 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4947 4950 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4948 4951 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4949 4952 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4950 4953 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4951 4954 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4952 4955 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4953 4956
4954 4957 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4955 4958
4956 4959 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4957 4960 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4958 4961 printed).
4959 4962
4960 4963 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4961 4964 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4962 4965 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4963 4966
4964 4967 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4965 4968 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4966 4969
4967 4970 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4968 4971 handle magic commands in them.
4969 4972 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4970 4973 ~/mylog' now works.
4971 4974
4972 4975 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4973 4976 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4974 4977
4975 4978 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4976 4979
4977 4980 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4978 4981 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4979 4982
4980 4983 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4981 4984 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4982 4985 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4983 4986 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4984 4987 variables are in the context of an exception.
4985 4988 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4986 4989 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4987 4990
4988 4991 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4989 4992 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4990 4993
4991 4994 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4992 4995
4993 4996 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4994 4997 magics can parse options easier.
4995 4998 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4996 4999 suggested by Chris Hart.
4997 5000 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4998 5001 directory actually is in history.
4999 5002
5000 5003 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5001 5004 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5002 5005 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5003 5006
5004 5007 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5005 5008 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5006 5009 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5007 5010 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5008 5011
5009 5012 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5013
5011 5014 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5012 5015 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5013 5016
5014 5017 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5015 5018 text (was a bug).
5016 5019
5017 5020 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5018 5021
5019 5022 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5020 5023 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5021 5024 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5022 5025
5023 5026 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5024 5027
5025 5028 * Released 0.2.10
5026 5029
5027 5030 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5028 5031
5029 5032 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5030 5033 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5031 5034
5032 5035 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5033 5036
5034 5037 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5035 5038 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5036 5039
5037 5040 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5038 5041
5039 5042 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5040 5043 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5041 5044 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5042 5045 __init__.py)
5043 5046
5044 5047 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5045 5048
5046 5049 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5047 5050 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5048 5051 test for being inside IPython.
5049 5052
5050 5053 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5051 5054 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5052 5055 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5053 5056 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5054 5057
5055 5058 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5056 5059
5057 5060 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5058 5061 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5059 5062 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5060 5063
5061 5064 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5062 5065 embedding example to standard user directory for
5063 5066 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5064 5067
5065 5068 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5066 5069 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5067 5070 hidden global).
5068 5071
5069 5072 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5070 5073 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5071 5074 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5072 5075 case.
5073 5076
5074 5077 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5075 5078
5076 5079 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5077 5080 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5078 5081 start.
5079 5082
5080 5083 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5081 5084 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5082 5085 Numeric or math.
5083 5086
5084 5087 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5085 5088 provided profiles. Now we have:
5086 5089 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5087 5090 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5088 5091 -physics -> same as before
5089 5092
5090 5093 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5091 5094 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5092 5095 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5093 5096 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5094 5097 string adds).
5095 5098
5096 5099 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5097 5100 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5098 5101 line with the gnuplot code).
5099 5102
5100 5103 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5101 5104
5102 5105 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5103 5106 all included files change.
5104 5107
5105 5108 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5106 5109 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5107 5110
5108 5111 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5109 5112 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5110 5113 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5111 5114
5112 5115 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5113 5116 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5114 5117
5115 5118 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5116 5119 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5117 5120
5118 5121 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5119 5122 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5120 5123 now accessible.
5121 5124
5122 5125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5123 5126 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5124 5127 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5125 5128 removed.
5126 5129 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5127 5130 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5128 5131 don't crash.
5129 5132 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5130 5133 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5131 5134 remains available.
5132 5135
5133 5136 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5134 5137
5135 5138 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5136 5139
5137 5140 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5138 5141
5139 5142 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5140 5143 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5141 5144 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5142 5145 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5143 5146
5144 5147 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5145 5148
5146 5149 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5147 5150 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5148 5151 sync with the output counter.
5149 5152
5150 5153 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5151 5154 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5152 5155
5153 5156 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5154 5157
5155 5158 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5156 5159 readline, fix it back after each call.
5157 5160
5158 5161 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5159 5162 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5160 5163 traceback references are properly deleted.
5161 5164
5162 5165 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5163 5166 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5164 5167
5165 5168 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5166 5169
5167 5170 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5168 5171 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5169 5172 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5170 5173 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5171 5174 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5172 5175 to catch SystemExit).
5173 5176
5174 5177 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5175 5178 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5176 5179 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5177 5180 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5178 5181 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5179 5182 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5180 5183
5181 5184 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5182 5185
5183 5186 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5184 5187 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5185 5188 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5186 5189
5187 5190 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5188 5191 configurable (it should have always been so).
5189 5192
5190 5193 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5191 5194
5192 5195 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5193 5196 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5194 5197 done in a more elegant way.
5195 5198
5196 5199 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5197 5200
5198 5201 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5199 5202 win9x also.
5200 5203
5201 5204 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5202 5205
5203 5206 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5204 5207 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5205 5208
5206 5209 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5207 5210
5208 5211 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5209 5212
5210 5213 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5211 5214 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5212 5215
5213 5216 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5214 5217 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5215 5218
5216 5219 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5217 5220 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5218 5221
5219 5222 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5220 5223 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5221 5224
5222 5225 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5223 5226
5224 5227 * Released 0.2.8
5225 5228
5226 5229 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5227 5230 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5228 5231 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5229 5232 on' so that the first tab completes.
5230 5233 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5231 5234 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5232 5235
5233 5236 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5234 5237 installation.
5235 5238
5236 5239 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5237 5240 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5238 5241
5239 5242 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5243
5241 5244 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5242 5245 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5243 5246 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5244 5247
5245 5248 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5246 5249 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5247 5250
5248 5251 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5249 5252 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5250 5253 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5251 5254 suggestion.
5252 5255
5253 5256 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5254 5257 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5255 5258 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5256 5259
5257 5260 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5258 5261 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5259 5262
5260 5263 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5261 5264
5262 5265 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5263 5266 which properly handles things for windows users.
5264 5267
5265 5268 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5266 5269
5267 5270 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5268 5271 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5269 5272 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5270 5273 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5271 5274 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5272 5275
5273 5276 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5274 5277
5275 5278 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5276 5279
5277 5280 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5278 5281 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5279 5282
5280 5283 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5281 5284
5282 5285 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5283 5286 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5284 5287 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5285 5288 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5286 5289 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5287 5290 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5288 5291
5289 5292 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5293
5291 5294 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5292 5295 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5293 5296
5294 5297 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5295 5298 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5296 5299 cache at 20 values.
5297 5300
5298 5301 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5299 5302 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5300 5303 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5301 5304 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5302 5305
5303 5306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5304 5307 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5305 5308 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5306 5309 'file show').
5307 5310
5308 5311 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5309 5312 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5310 5313
5311 5314 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5312 5315 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5313 5316 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5314 5317
5315 5318 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5316 5319 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5317 5320 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5318 5321 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5319 5322
5320 5323 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5321 5324 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5322 5325 the prompt strings.
5323 5326
5324 5327 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5325 5328
5326 5329 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5327 5330 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5328 5331
5329 5332 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5330 5333 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5331 5334 either globally or at each call.
5332 5335
5333 5336 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5334 5337 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5335 5338 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5336 5339 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5337 5340
5338 5341 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5339 5342
5340 5343 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5341 5344 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5342 5345
5343 5346 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5344 5347
5345 5348 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5346 5349 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5347 5350 learning some lisp...
5348 5351
5349 5352 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5350 5353
5351 5354 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5352 5355 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5353 5356 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5354 5357 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5355 5358
5356 5359 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5357 5360 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5358 5361 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5359 5362
5360 5363 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5361 5364
5362 5365 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5363 5366 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5364 5367 control to emacs users.
5365 5368
5366 5369 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5367 5370 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5368 5371 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5369 5372 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5370 5373 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5371 5374 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5372 5375
5373 5376 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5374 5377
5375 5378 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5376 5379
5377 5380 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5378 5381 @logstate magic was created.
5379 5382
5380 5383 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5381 5384 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5382 5385
5383 5386 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5384 5387
5385 5388 * Released 0.2.6.
5386 5389
5387 5390 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5388 5391 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5389 5392
5390 5393 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5391 5394 SciPy.
5392 5395
5393 5396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5394 5397 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5395 5398 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5396 5399 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5397 5400 the section on embedding and the example file.
5398 5401
5399 5402 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5400 5403 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5401 5404 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5402 5405
5403 5406 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5404 5407 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5405 5408 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5406 5409
5407 5410 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5408 5411 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5409 5412 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5410 5413 for this to work.
5411 5414
5412 5415 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5413 5416
5414 5417 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5415 5418 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5416 5419 well inside Emacs buffers.
5417 5420 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5418 5421 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5419 5422 same bug in iplib.
5420 5423
5421 5424 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5422 5425
5423 5426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5424 5427 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5425 5428
5426 5429 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5427 5430 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5428 5431 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5429 5432
5430 5433 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5431 5434 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5432 5435 display is done.
5433 5436
5434 5437 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5435 5438 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5436 5439
5437 5440 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5438 5441 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5439 5442 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5440 5443 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5441 5444 like in Octave.
5442 5445
5443 5446 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5444 5447 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5445 5448
5446 5449 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5447 5450
5448 5451 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5449 5452 whole file a little.
5450 5453
5451 5454 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5452 5455 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5453 5456 end-user distro.
5454 5457
5455 5458 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5456 5459 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5457 5460 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5458 5461
5459 5462 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5460 5463 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5461 5464
5462 5465 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5463 5466 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5464 5467 for @file.
5465 5468
5466 5469 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5467 5470 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5468 5471 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5469 5472 the code a bit easier.
5470 5473
5471 5474 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5472 5475 information to crash reports.
5473 5476
5474 5477 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5475 5478
5476 5479 * Released 0.2.5.
5477 5480
5478 5481 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5479 5482
5480 5483 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5481 5484 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5482 5485 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5483 5486
5484 5487 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5485 5488
5486 5489 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5487 5490 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5488 5491 have thigs work as expected.
5489 5492
5490 5493 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5491 5494 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5492 5495 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5493 5496 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5494 5497 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5495 5498
5496 5499 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5497 5500 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5498 5501
5499 5502 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5500 5503
5501 5504 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5502 5505 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5503 5506
5504 5507 * README and manual updates.
5505 5508
5506 5509 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5507 5510 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5508 5511
5509 5512 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5510 5513 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5511 5514
5512 5515 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5513 5516 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5514 5517 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5515 5518 extension-less files.
5516 5519
5517 5520 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5518 5521 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5519 5522 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5520 5523
5521 5524 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5522 5525 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5523 5526
5524 5527 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5525 5528 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5526 5529 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5527 5530 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5528 5531 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5529 5532 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5530 5533 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5531 5534 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5532 5535 least make manually a shortcut.
5533 5536
5534 5537 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5535 5538 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5536 5539 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5537 5540 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5538 5541 runtime, with @colors.
5539 5542 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5540 5543 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5541 5544
5542 5545 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5543 5546
5544 5547 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5545 5548 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5546 5549 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5547 5550 read the startup info.
5548 5551
5549 5552 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5550 5553
5551 5554 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5552 5555 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5553 5556 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5554 5557 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5555 5558 type the better off we are.
5556 5559 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5557 5560 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5558 5561 before.
5559 5562
5560 5563 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5561 5564
5562 5565 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5563 5566 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5564 5567 this later.
5565 5568
5566 5569 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5567 5570
5568 5571 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5569 5572 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5570 5573 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5571 5574
5572 5575 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5576
5574 5577 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5575 5578 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5576 5579 spitting out only offset information as before.
5577 5580 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5578 5581 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5579 5582
5580 5583 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5581 5584
5582 5585 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5583 5586 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5584 5587 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5585 5588 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5586 5589 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5587 5590 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5588 5591 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5589 5592 macros.
5590 5593
5591 5594 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5592 5595
5593 5596 * Released 0.2.4.
5594 5597
5595 5598 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5596 5599 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5597 5600 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5598 5601 re-execution.
5599 5602
5600 5603 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5601 5604
5602 5605 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5603 5606 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5604 5607 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5605 5608 documented, of course :)
5606 5609 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5607 5610 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5608 5611 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5609 5612
5610 5613 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5611 5614
5612 5615 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5613 5616 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5614 5617 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5615 5618
5616 5619 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5617 5620
5618 5621 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5619 5622 so I wanted an updated release).
5620 5623
5621 5624 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5622 5625
5623 5626 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5624 5627 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5625 5628 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5626 5629 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5627 5630 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5628 5631
5629 5632 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5630 5633
5631 5634 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5632 5635 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5633 5636
5634 5637 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5635 5638
5636 5639 * Released 0.2.2.
5637 5640
5638 5641 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5639 5642 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5640 5643 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5641 5644 versions.
5642 5645
5643 5646 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5644 5647 (MayaVi author).
5645 5648
5646 5649 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5647 5650
5648 5651 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5649 5652 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5650 5653 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5651 5654 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5652 5655 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5653 5656
5654 5657 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5655 5658 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5656 5659
5657 5660 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5658 5661
5659 5662 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5660 5663 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5661 5664 nice, full-blown manual.
5662 5665
5663 5666 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5664 5667 trivially simple for end-users.
5665 5668
5666 5669 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5667 5670
5668 5671 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5669 5672 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5670 5673
5671 5674 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5672 5675 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5673 5676
5674 5677 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5675 5678
5676 5679 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5677 5680 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5678 5681 people to later upgrade versions.
5679 5682
5680 5683 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5681 5684 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5682 5685 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5683 5686 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5684 5687 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5685 5688 SystemExit).
5686 5689
5687 5690 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5688 5691 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5689 5692 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5690 5693 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5691 5694 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5692 5695
5693 5696 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5694 5697 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5695 5698 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5696 5699
5697 5700 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5698 5701
5699 5702 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5700 5703 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5701 5704
5702 5705 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5703 5706 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5704 5707 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5705 5708 html docs out of it will be found).
5706 5709
5707 5710 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5708 5711
5709 5712 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5710 5713 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5711 5714
5712 5715 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5713 5716
5714 5717 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5715 5718 visiting any directory in _dh.
5716 5719
5717 5720 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5718 5721 it out with numbers.
5719 5722
5720 5723 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5721 5724
5722 5725 * Released 0.1.22
5723 5726
5724 5727 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5725 5728 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5726 5729
5727 5730 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5728 5731 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5729 5732 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5730 5733 screen the necessary mail command.
5731 5734
5732 5735 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5733 5736 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5734 5737 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5735 5738
5736 5739 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5737 5740
5738 5741 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5739 5742 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5740 5743 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5741 5744 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5742 5745 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5743 5746 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5744 5747 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5745 5748 its name).
5746 5749
5747 5750 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5748 5751 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5749 5752 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5750 5753 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5751 5754
5752 5755 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5753 5756
5754 5757 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5755 5758 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5756 5759
5757 5760 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5758 5761 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5759 5762
5760 5763 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5761 5764 completion of @-starting lines.
5762 5765
5763 5766 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5764 5767 info that other files can read from.
5765 5768
5766 5769 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5767 5770 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5768 5771 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5769 5772 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5770 5773 restores produce less errors.
5771 5774
5772 5775 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5773 5776 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5774 5777 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5775 5778 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5776 5779 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5777 5780
5778 5781 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5779 5782 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5780 5783 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5781 5784 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5782 5785 with this, finally...
5783 5786
5784 5787 * Small documentation updates.
5785 5788
5786 5789 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5787 5790 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5788 5791 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5789 5792
5790 5793 * File renaming:
5791 5794 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5792 5795 ipplib --> iplib
5793 5796 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5794 5797
5795 5798 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5796 5799 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5797 5800 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5798 5801
5799 5802 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5800 5803 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5801 5804 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5802 5805
5803 5806 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5804 5807
5805 5808 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5806 5809 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5807 5810 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5808 5811 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5809 5812
5810 5813 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5811 5814 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5812 5815 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5813 5816
5814 5817 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5815 5818 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5816 5819 road.
5817 5820
5818 5821 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5819 5822 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5820 5823 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5821 5824 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5822 5825
5823 5826 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5824 5827
5825 5828 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5826 5829 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5827 5830 file accordingly.
5828 5831
5829 5832 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5830 5833 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5831 5834 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5832 5835 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5833 5836 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5834 5837 separators and proper padding and justification.
5835 5838
5836 5839 * Released 0.1.20
5837 5840
5838 5841 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5839 5842 copy operation was missing).
5840 5843
5841 5844 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5842 5845 its output is always quite long.
5843 5846
5844 5847 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5845 5848 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5846 5849 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5847 5850 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5848 5851
5849 5852 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5850 5853 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5851 5854 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5852 5855 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5853 5856
5854 5857 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5855 5858
5856 5859 * Released 0.1.19
5857 5860
5858 5861 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5859 5862 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5860 5863
5861 5864 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5862 5865 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5863 5866 comment on 'macros').
5864 5867
5865 5868 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5866 5869
5867 5870 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5868 5871 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5869 5872 statements and takes parameters.
5870 5873
5871 5874 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5872 5875
5873 5876 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5874 5877
5875 5878 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5876 5879
5877 5880 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5878 5881 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5879 5882
5880 5883 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5881 5884 ipythonrc-* samples.
5882 5885
5883 5886 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5884 5887 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5885 5888
5886 5889 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5887 5890 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5888 5891
5889 5892 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5890 5893
5891 5894 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5892 5895 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5893 5896 convention.
5894 5897
5895 5898 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5896 5899 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5897 5900
5898 5901 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5899 5902
5900 5903 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5901 5904 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5902 5905
5903 5906 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5904 5907 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5905 5908 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5906 5909 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5907 5910 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5908 5911 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5909 5912 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5910 5913 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5911 5914 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5912 5915 works.
5913 5916
5914 5917 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5915 5918
5916 5919 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5917 5920 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5918 5921 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5919 5922 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5920 5923 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5921 5924 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5922 5925 all the editors, less does that.
5923 5926
5924 5927 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5925 5928
5926 5929 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5927 5930 crash IPython.
5928 5931
5929 5932 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5930 5933
5931 5934 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5932 5935
5933 5936 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5934 5937 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5935 5938 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5936 5939 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5937 5940 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5938 5941 work in _ofind.
5939 5942
5940 5943 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5941 5944 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5942 5945 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5943 5946 (famous last words).
5944 5947
5945 5948 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5946 5949 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5947 5950 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5948 5951 windows).
5949 5952
5950 5953 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5951 5954 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5952 5955
5953 5956 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5954 5957 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5955 5958 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5956 5959 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5957 5960
5958 5961 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5959 5962 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5960 5963 licences and announce it.
5961 5964
5962 5965 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5963 5966 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5964 5967 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5965 5968 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5966 5969
5967 5970 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5968 5971
5969 5972 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5970 5973 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5971 5974 lists.
5972 5975
5973 5976 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5974 5977 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5975 5978 are ok.
5976 5979
5977 5980 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5978 5981 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5979 5982
5980 5983 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5981 5984 this to Nathan.
5982 5985
5983 5986 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5984 5987
5985 5988 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5986 5989 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5987 5990 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5988 5991
5989 5992 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5990 5993 accepted). Cleaner.
5991 5994
5992 5995 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5993 5996 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5994 5997 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5995 5998 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5996 5999 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5997 6000
5998 6001 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5999 6002
6000 6003 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6001 6004 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6002 6005 history after a log replay.
6003 6006
6004 6007 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6005 6008 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6006 6009 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6007 6010 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6008 6011 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6009 6012 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6010 6013
6011 6014 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6012 6015 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6013 6016 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6014 6017 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6015 6018 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6016 6019
6017 6020 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6018 6021
6019 6022 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6020 6023 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6021 6024 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6022 6025 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6023 6026 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6024 6027 one: cache_size.
6025 6028
6026 6029 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6027 6030 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6028 6031 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6029 6032 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6030 6033
6031 6034 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6032 6035 @ or not).
6033 6036
6034 6037 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6035 6038 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6036 6039 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6037 6040 about licensing).
6038 6041
6039 6042 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6040 6043
6041 6044 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6042 6045 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6043 6046
6044 6047 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6045 6048 screen size for page() operations.
6046 6049
6047 6050 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6048 6051 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6049 6052 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6050 6053 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6051 6054
6052 6055 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6053 6056 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6054 6057 option name tables are clearer.
6055 6058
6056 6059 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6057 6060 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6058 6061 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6059 6062 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6060 6063 was also changed a little to align better.
6061 6064
6062 6065 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6063 6066 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6064 6067
6065 6068 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6066 6069 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6067 6070 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6068 6071
6069 6072 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6070 6073 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6071 6074 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6072 6075 he needs it.
6073 6076
6074 6077 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6075 6078
6076 6079 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6077 6080 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6078 6081 warning on it.
6079 6082
6080 6083 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6081 6084 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6082 6085 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6083 6086 was too long).
6084 6087
6085 6088 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6086 6089 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6087 6090 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6088 6091
6089 6092 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6090 6093 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6091 6094 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6092 6095 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6093 6096 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6094 6097 function for the same task.
6095 6098
6096 6099 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6097 6100
6098 6101 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6099 6102
6100 6103 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6101 6104 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6102 6105 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6103 6106
6104 6107 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6105 6108 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6106 6109 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6107 6110
6108 6111 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6109 6112 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6110 6113 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6111 6114
6112 6115 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6113 6116
6114 6117 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6115 6118
6116 6119 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6117 6120 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6118 6121 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6119 6122
6120 6123 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6121 6124
6122 6125 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6123 6126
6124 6127 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6125 6128
6126 6129 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6127 6130 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6128 6131 maintain.
6129 6132
6130 6133 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6131 6134 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6132 6135 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6133 6136 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6134 6137 compiled and startup is much faster.
6135 6138
6136 6139 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6137 6140 while without messing too much more with the code.
6138 6141
6139 6142 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6140 6143
6141 6144 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6142 6145
6143 6146 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6144 6147 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6145 6148 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6146 6149
6147 6150 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6148 6151 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6149 6152
6150 6153 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6151 6154 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6152 6155 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6153 6156 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6154 6157 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6155 6158 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6156 6159
6157 6160 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6158 6161 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6159 6162
6160 6163 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6161 6164 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6162 6165
6163 6166 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6164 6167 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6165 6168 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6166 6169 excessive.
6167 6170
6168 6171 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6169 6172 types (only first word was displayed).
6170 6173
6171 6174 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6172 6175
6173 6176 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6174 6177
6175 6178 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6176 6179 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6177 6180 travel along many directories.
6178 6181
6179 6182 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6180 6183 arguments with default values.
6181 6184
6182 6185 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6183 6186
6184 6187 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6185 6188 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6186 6189
6187 6190 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6188 6191
6189 6192 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6190 6193 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6191 6194 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6192 6195
6193 6196 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6194 6197
6195 6198 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6196 6199 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6197 6200 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6198 6201 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6199 6202 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6200 6203 purposes.
6201 6204
6202 6205 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6203 6206 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6204 6207 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6205 6208 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6206 6209 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6207 6210 one can simply say
6208 6211 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6209 6212 or even
6210 6213 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6211 6214
6212 6215 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6213 6216 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6214 6217 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6215 6218
6216 6219 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6217 6220 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6218 6221 they were defined in
6219 6222
6220 6223 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6221 6224
6222 6225 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6223 6226 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6224 6227 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6225 6228 these to show the same information.
6226 6229
6227 6230 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6228 6231
6229 6232 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6230 6233 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6231 6234 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6232 6235 backtracked on the whole class!)
6233 6236
6234 6237 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6235 6238 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6236 6239 everything works as before).
6237 6240
6238 6241 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6239 6242 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6240 6243 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6241 6244 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6242 6245
6243 6246 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6244 6247
6245 6248 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6246 6249
6247 6250 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6248 6251 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6249 6252
6250 6253 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6251 6254 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6252 6255 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6253 6256 this later.
6254 6257
6255 6258 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6256 6259
6257 6260 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6258 6261 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6259 6262 line option.
6260 6263
6261 6264 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6262 6265 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6263 6266 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6264 6267 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6265 6268 didn't return a result).
6266 6269
6267 6270 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6268 6271
6269 6272 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6270 6273
6271 6274 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6272 6275 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6273 6276 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6274 6277 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6275 6278
6276 6279 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6277 6280
6278 6281 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6279 6282
6280 6283 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6281 6284 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6282 6285
6283 6286 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6284 6287 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6285 6288 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6286 6289 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6287 6290 in with the next entry:
6288 6291
6289 6292 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6290 6293 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6291 6294 handling.
6292 6295
6293 6296 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6294 6297 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6295 6298 namespace protection and documentation.
6296 6299
6297 6300 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6298 6301
6299 6302 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6300 6303 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6301 6304
6302 6305 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6303 6306
6304 6307 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6305 6308
6306 6309 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6307 6310
6308 6311 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6309 6312 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6310 6313 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6311 6314 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6312 6315 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6313 6316
6314 6317 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6315 6318 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6316 6319 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6317 6320
6318 6321 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6319 6322
6320 6323 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6321 6324 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6322 6325
6323 6326 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6324 6327
6325 6328 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6326 6329
6327 6330 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6328 6331 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6329 6332 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6330 6333 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6331 6334 ScientificPython.
6332 6335
6333 6336 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6334 6337
6335 6338 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6336 6339 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6337 6340 when called with no args.
6338 6341
6339 6342 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6340 6343 closely.
6341 6344
6342 6345 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6343 6346 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6344 6347 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6345 6348 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6346 6349 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6347 6350
6348 6351 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6349 6352
6350 6353 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6351 6354 customizations there and access them via import.
6352 6355
6353 6356 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6354 6357
6355 6358 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6356 6359
6357 6360 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6358 6361 Nathan and Janko.
6359 6362
6360 6363 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6361 6364
6362 6365 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6363 6366 too long.
6364 6367
6365 6368 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6366 6369
6367 6370 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6368 6371 ?sin and sin?
6369 6372 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6370 6373 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6371 6374 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6372 6375 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6373 6376
6374 6377 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6375 6378
6376 6379 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6377 6380
6378 6381 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6379 6382 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6380 6383
6381 6384 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6382 6385 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6383 6386 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6384 6387 me).
6385 6388
6386 6389 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6387 6390 protected (reasonably).
6388 6391
6389 6392 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6390 6393 note through it (it was too long).
6391 6394
6392 6395 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6393 6396 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6394 6397 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6395 6398 parameters.
6396 6399
6397 6400
6398 6401 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6399 6402
6400 6403 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6401 6404 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6402 6405 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6403 6406
6404 6407 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6405 6408 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6406 6409 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6407 6410
6408 6411 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6409 6412
6410 6413 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6411 6414
6412 6415 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6413 6416
6414 6417 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6415 6418 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6416 6419 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6417 6420 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6418 6421 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6419 6422 break.
6420 6423
6421 6424 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6422 6425 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6423 6426 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6424 6427 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6425 6428 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6426 6429 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6427 6430
6428 6431 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6429 6432 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6430 6433 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6431 6434 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6432 6435 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6433 6436 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6434 6437 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6435 6438 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6436 6439 trick.
6437 6440
6438 6441 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6439 6442 session restoring.
6440 6443
6441 6444 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6442 6445 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6443 6446 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6444 6447 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6445 6448 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6446 6449
6447 6450 * Started ChangeLog.
