69 72
70 73 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
71 74
72 75 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
73 76 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
74 77 every %run call.
75 78
76 79 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
77 80 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
78 81 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
79 82
80 83 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
81 84
82 85 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
83 86 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
84 87 Stefan for the fix.
85 88
86 89 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
87 90 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
88 91 him.
89 92
90 93 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
91 94 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
92 95 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
93 96 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
94 97
95 98 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
96 99 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
97 100 each runcode access.
98 101
99 102 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
100 103 message.

102 105 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
103 106
104 107 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
105 108 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
106 109 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
107 110
108 111 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
109 112 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
110 113 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
111 114 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
112 115 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
113 116 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
114 117 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
115 118 anything up until we know if it actually works.
116 119
117 120 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
118 121 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
119 122 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
120 123 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
121 124 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
122 125
123 126 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
124 127
125 128 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
126 129 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
127 130 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
128 131
129 132 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
130 133
131 134 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
132 135 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
133 136 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
134 137
135 138 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
136 139
137 140 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
138 141 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
139 142 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
140 143 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
141 144 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
142 145
143 146 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
144 147
145 148 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
146 149 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
147 150
148 151 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
149 152 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
150 153 details in comments left in the code.
151 154
152 155 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
153 156 similar to what we had for Numeric.
154 157
155 158 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
156 159 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
157 160 than readline. Closes #109.
158 161
159 162 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
160 163 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
161 164
162 165 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
163 166
164 167 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
165 168 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
166 169 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
167 170 ongoing Unicode support work.
168 171
169 172 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
170 173 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
171 174 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
172 175 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
173 176
174 177 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
175 178
176 179 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
177 180 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
178 181
179 182 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
180 183
181 184 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
182 185 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
183 186 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
184 187
185 188 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
186 189
187 190 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
188 191 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
189 192 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
190 193 long definition lines for functions.
191 194
192 195 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
193 196
194 197 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
195 198 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
196 199 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
197 200 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
198 201
199 202 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
200 203
201 204 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
202 205
203 206 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
204 207
205 208 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
206 209 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
207 210 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
208 211
209 212 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
210 213 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
211 214
212 215 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
213 216 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.

216 219
217 220 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
218 221 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
219 222 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
220 223
221 224 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
222 225
223 226 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
224 227 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
225 228
226 229 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
227 230 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
228 231 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
229 232 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
230 233 sometimes return "" as last element.
231 234
232 235 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
233 236
234 237 * IPython/completer.py
235 238 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
236 239 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
237 240 would be completed too early.
238 241
239 242 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
240 243 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
241 244 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
242 245 backwards compatibility.
243 246
244 247 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
245 248 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
246 249 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
247 250 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
248 251 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
249 252 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
250 253 also works when debugging.
251 254
252 255 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
253 256 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
254 257
255 258 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
256 259 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
257 260 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
258 261
259 262 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
260 263 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
261 264 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
262 265
263 266 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
264 267 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
265 268
266 269 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
267 270
268 271 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
269 272 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
270 273 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
271 274
272 275 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
273 276
274 277 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
275 278 to be installed alongside igrid.
276 279 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
277 280 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
278 281 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
279 282
280 283 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
281 284
282 285 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
283 286 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
284 287 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
285 288
286 289 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
287 290
288 291 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
289 292 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
290 293
291 294 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
292 295 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
293 296
294 297 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
295 298
296 299 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
297 300 as the default browser.
298 301 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
299 302 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
300 303 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
301 304 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
302 305
303 306 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
304 307
305 308 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
306 309 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
307 310 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
308 311
309 312 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
310 313
311 314 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
312 315 Close help window if exiting igrid.
313 316
314 317 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
315 318
316 319 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
317 320 before calling functions from readline.
318 321
319 322 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
320 323
321 324 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
322 325 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
323 326 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
324 327 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
325 328 falls back to idump.
326 329
327 330 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
328 331
329 332 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
330 333 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
331 334 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
332 335 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
333 336
334 337 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
335 338
336 339 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
337 340 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
338 341 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
339 342 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
340 343 %magic with explicit % prefix.
341 344
342 345 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
343 346
344 347 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
345 348 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
346 349
347 350 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
348 351
349 352 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
350 353 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
351 354 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
352 355 one wants those instead.
353 356
354 357 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
355 358 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
356 359 instead.
357 360
358 361 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
359 362
360 363 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
361 364 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
362 365 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
363 366 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
364 367
365 368 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
366 369
367 370 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
368 371 stop marks.
369 372 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
370 373 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
371 374 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
372 375
373 376 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
374 377
375 378 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
376 379 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
377 380 sumbmitted to upstream.
378 381
379 382 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
380 383
381 384 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
382 385 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
383 386 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
384 387 running into an empty levels list later.
385 388
386 389 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
387 390
388 391 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
389 392 for the noitem object.
390 393
391 394 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
392 395
393 396 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
394 397 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
395 398 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
396 399 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
397 400
398 401 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
399 402
400 403 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
401 404 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
402 405 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
403 406 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
404 407 filenames.
405 408
406 409 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
407 410 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
408 411 out-of-process ipython code.
409 412
410 413 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
411 414 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
412 415 doctesting.
413 416
414 417 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
415 418
416 419 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
417 420
418 421 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
419 422 not being correctly recognized.
420 423
421 424 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
422 425
423 426 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
424 427 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
425 428 only item.
426 429
427 430 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
428 431 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
429 432 infinite recursion for one line strings).
430 433
431 434 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
432 435
433 436 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
434 437 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
435 438 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
436 439
437 440 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
438 441
439 442 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
440 443 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
441 444 "%env VISUAL=jed".
442 445
443 446 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
444 447
445 448 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
446 449 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
447 450 but I'm not exactly sure why).
448 451
449 452 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
450 453 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
451 454
452 455 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
453 456
454 457 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
455 458 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
456 459
457 460 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
458 461 the time during IPython startup is spent.
459 462
460 463 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
461 464
462 465 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
463 466
464 467 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
465 468
466 469 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
467 470
468 471 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
469 472
470 473 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
471 474 to work properly on posix too
472 475
473 476 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
474 477
475 478 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
476 479
477 480 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
478 481 prefix + "/scripts".
479 482
480 483 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
481 484
482 485 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
483 486
484 487 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
485 488 if they already exist
486 489
487 490 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
488 491
489 492 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
490 493
491 494 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
492 495
493 496 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
494 497
495 498 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
496 499 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
497 500 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
498 501
499 502 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
500 503
501 504 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
502 505 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
503 506 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
504 507
505 508 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
506 509 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
507 510 in ipy_user_conf.py
508 511
509 512
510 513 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
511 514 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
512 515 as IPython script.
513 516
514 517 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
515 518
516 519 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
517 520
518 521 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
519 522 is called before any exception has occurred.
520 523
521 524 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
522 525
523 526 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
524 527 to translate /'s to \'s again.
525 528
526 529 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
527 530 backslash.
528 531
529 532 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
530 533
531 534 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
532 535
533 536 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
534 537 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
535 538 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
536 539
537 540 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
538 541 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
539 542
540 543 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
541 544 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
542 545
543 546 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
544 547
545 548 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
546 549
547 550 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
548 551 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
549 552
550 553 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
551 554 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
552 555 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
553 556 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
554 557 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
555 558 mapped to "%" now.
556 559 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
557 560
558 561 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
559 562
560 563 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
561 564 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
562 565 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
563 566 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
564 567
565 568 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
566 569
567 570 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
568 571 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
569 572 for shell escapes.
570 573
571 574 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
572 575
573 576 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
574 577 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
575 578 vcs_completer.
576 579
577 580 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
578 581
579 582 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
580 583 directly instead!
581 584
582 585 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
583 586
584 587 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
585 588 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
586 589
587 590 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
588 591 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
589 592 explicit.
590 593
591 594 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
592 595 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
593 596
594 597 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
595 598
596 599 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
597 600
598 601 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
599 602 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
600 603 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
601 604 implementation for Text is useless.
602 605
603 606 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
604 607
605 608 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
606 609
607 610 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
608 611
609 612 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
610 613 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
611 614 "profile"

613 616 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
614 617
615 618 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
616 619 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
617 620
618 621 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
619 622 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
620 623
621 624
622 625 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
623 626 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
624 627 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
625 628
626 629 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
627 630
628 631 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
629 632 with one from UserConfig.
630 633
631 634 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
632 635 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
633 636
634 637 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
635 638 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
636 639 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
637 640
638 641 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
639 642
640 643 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
641 644
642 645 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
643 646
644 647 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
645 648
646 649 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
647 650
648 651 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
649 652
650 653 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
651 654
652 655 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
653 656
654 657 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
655 658 by eval of expr with dots.
656 659
657 660 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
658 661
659 662 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
660 663 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
661 664 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
662 665 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
663 666 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
664 667 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
665 668
666 669 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
667 670
668 671 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
669 672 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
670 673 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
671 674
672 675 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
673 676 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
674 677 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
675 678 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
676 679 funtionality in ipconfig.
677 680
678 681 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
679 682 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
680 683 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
681 684 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
682 685
683 686 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
684 687
685 688 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
686 689 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
687 690 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
688 691 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
689 692 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
690 693 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
691 694 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
692 695 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
693 696 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
694 697 descriptors.
695 698
696 699 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
697 700 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
698 701
699 702 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
700 703 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
701 704
702 705 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
703 706
704 707 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
705 708
706 709 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
707 710
708 711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
709 712 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
710 713 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
711 714
712 715 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
713 716 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
714 717 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
715 718
716 719 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
717 720 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
718 721 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
719 722 ipy_stock_completers.
720 723
721 724 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
722 725
723 726 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
724 727
725 728 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
726 729 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
727 730 when filtering possible completions.
728 731
729 732 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
730 733
731 734 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
732 735 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
733 736 function
734 737
735 738
736 739 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
737 740
738 741 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
739 742 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
740 743 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
741 744 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
742 745 SVN completer.
743 746
744 747 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
745 748 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
746 749 name is %led.
747 750
748 751 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
749 752
750 753 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
751 754 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
752 755 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
753 756
754 757 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
755 758 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
756 759 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
757 760 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
758 761 hook name is 'complete_command'.
759 762
760 763 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
761 764
762 765 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
763 766 Numeric leftovers.
764 767
765 768 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
766 769 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
767 770
768 771 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
769 772 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
770 773
771 774 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
772 775 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
773 776
774 777 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
775 778 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
776 779 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
777 780
778 781 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
779 782
780 783 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
781 784 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
782 785 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
783 786
784 787 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
785 788 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
786 789
787 790 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
788 791
789 792 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
790 793 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
791 794 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
792 795
793 796 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
794 797
795 798 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
796 799 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
797 800 internal crash handler.
798 801
799 802 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
800 803 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
801 804 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
802 805 at the request of SAGE.
803 806
804 807 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
805 808
806 809 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
807 810 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
808 811
809 812 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
810 813 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
811 814 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
812 815 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
813 816
814 817 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
815 818 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
816 819 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
817 820
818 821 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
819 822
820 823 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
821 824 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
822 825 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
823 826
824 827 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
825 828 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
826 829
827 830 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
828 831
829 832 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
830 833 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
831 834 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
832 835 Stefan.
833 836
834 837 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
835 838
836 839 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
837 840 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
838 841 sys.stdout.close().
839 842
840 843 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
841 844
842 845 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
843 846 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
844 847 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
845 848 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
846 849
847 850 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
848 851 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
849 852 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
850 853
851 854 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
852 855 2.5.
853 856
854 857 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
855 858 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
856 859 interactively.
857 860
858 861 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
859 862
860 863 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
861 864 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
862 865
863 866 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
864 867
865 868 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
866 869 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
867 870 or only files.
868 871
869 872 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
870 873
871 874 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
872 875 they broke unittest
873 876
874 877 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
875 878
876 879 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
877 880 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
878 881 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
879 882 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
880 883
881 884 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
882 885
883 886 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
884 887 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
885 888 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
886 889 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
887 890 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
888 891
889 892 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
890 893
891 894 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
892 895 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
893 896
894 897 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
895 898
896 899 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
897 900 the mode argument).
898 901
899 902 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
900 903
901 904 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
902 905 not running under IPython.
903 906
904 907 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
905 908 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
906 909 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
907 910 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
908 911 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
909 912 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
910 913 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
911 914 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
912 915 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
913 916 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
914 917 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
915 918 are still supported.
916 919
917 920 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
918 921 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
919 922 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
920 923 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
921 924
922 925 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
923 926 encoding into methods.
924 927
925 928 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
926 929
927 930 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
928 931 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
929 932
930 933 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
931 934
932 935 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
933 936 non existing attributes.
934 937
935 938 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
936 939
937 940 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
938 941 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
939 942
940 943 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
941 944
942 945 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
943 946 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
944 947
945 948 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
946 949
947 950 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
948 951 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
949 952 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
950 953
951 954 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
952 955
953 956 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
954 957 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
955 958 Stefan van der Walt.
956 959
957 960 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
958 961
959 962 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
960 963 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
961 964
962 965 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
963 966
964 967 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
965 968 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
966 969 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
967 970
968 971 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
969 972
970 973 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
971 974 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
972 975 attributes.
973 976
974 977 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
975 978
976 979 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
977 980 commands into the methods implementing them.
978 981
979 982 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
980 983
981 984 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
982 985 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
983 986 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
984 987
985 988 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
986 989
987 990 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
988 991 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
989 992
990 993 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
991 994
992 995 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
993 996 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
994 997
995 998 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
996 999
997 1000 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
998 1001 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
999 1002 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1000 1003 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1001 1004 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1002 1005 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1003 1006 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1004 1007 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1005 1008 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1006 1009 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1007 1010 the x key to "delete".
1008 1011
1009 1012 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1010 1013
1011 1014 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1012 1015 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1013 1016 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1014 1017 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1015 1018
1016 1019 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1017 1020 prompt
1018 1021
1019 1022 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1020 1023
1021 1024 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1022 1025
1023 1026 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1024 1027 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1025 1028 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1026 1029 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1027 1030
1028 1031 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1029 1032
1030 1033 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1031 1034 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1032 1035 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1033 1036 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1034 1037 doesn't work properly yet.
1035 1038
1036 1039 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1037 1040
1038 1041 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1039 1042 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1040 1043 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1041 1044
1042 1045 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1043 1046
1044 1047 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1045 1048 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1046 1049 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1047 1050 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1048 1051 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1049 1052 execute commands.
1050 1053
1051 1054 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1052 1055
1053 1056 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1054 1057 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1055 1058
1056 1059 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1057 1060
1058 1061 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1059 1062 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1060 1063
1061 1064 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1062 1065
1063 1066 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1064 1067 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1065 1068 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1066 1069
1067 1070 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1068 1071
1069 1072 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1070 1073
1071 1074 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1072 1075 Repo tagged and release cut.
1073 1076
1074 1077 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1075 1078
1076 1079 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1077 1080 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1078 1081
1079 1082 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1080 1083 (for %upgrade)
1081 1084
1082 1085 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1083 1086
1084 1087 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1085 1088 instead of looping 20 times.
1086 1089
1087 1090 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1088 1091 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1089 1092 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1090 1093
1091 1094 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1092 1095 testing for release on 06/06.
1093 1096
1094 1097 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1095 1098
1096 1099 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1097 1100 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1098 1101 live in people's PATH.
1099 1102
1100 1103 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1101 1104 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1102 1105 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1103 1106 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1104 1107 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1105 1108
1106 1109 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1107 1110 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1108 1111
1109 1112 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1110 1113
1111 1114 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1112 1115 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1113 1116
1114 1117 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1115 1118
1116 1119 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1117 1120 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1118 1121 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1119 1122
1120 1123 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1121 1124
1122 1125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1123 1126 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1124 1127 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1125 1128 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1126 1129
1127 1130 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1128 1131 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1129 1132 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1130 1133 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1131 1134
1132 1135 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1133 1136 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1134 1137 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1135 1138 work.
1136 1139
1137 1140 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1138 1141
1139 1142 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1140 1143 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1141 1144
1142 1145 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1143 1146 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1144 1147 author William Stein.
1145 1148
1146 1149 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1147 1150 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1148 1151 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1149 1152 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1150 1153 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1151 1154 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1152 1155 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1153 1156 objects more easily.
1154 1157
1155 1158 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1156 1159
1157 1160 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1158 1161 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1159 1162 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1160 1163 by Jeffrey Collins.
1161 1164
1162 1165 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1163 1166 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1164 1167 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1165 1168 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1166 1169
1167 1170 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1168 1171 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1169 1172 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1170 1173 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1171 1174
1172 1175 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1173 1176 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1174 1177 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1175 1178 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1176 1179 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1177 1180 compatibility)
1178 1181
1179 1182 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1180 1183 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1181 1184 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1182 1185
1183 1186 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1184 1187 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1185 1188 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1186 1189 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1187 1190 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1188 1191
1189 1192 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1190 1193 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1191 1194 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1192 1195
1193 1196 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1194 1197 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1195 1198 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1196 1199 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1197 1200 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1198 1201 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1199 1202 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1200 1203
1201 1204 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1202 1205 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1203 1206 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1204 1207
1205 1208 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1206 1209 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1207 1210 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1208 1211
1209 1212 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1210 1213 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1211 1214
1212 1215 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1213 1216
1214 1217 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1215 1218 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1216 1219 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1217 1220 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1218 1221 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1219 1222 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1220 1223 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1221 1224 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1222 1225 while running under SAGE.
1223 1226
1224 1227 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1225 1228
1226 1229 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1227 1230 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1228 1231 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1229 1232 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1230 1233
1231 1234 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1232 1235
1233 1236 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1234 1237 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1235 1238 updated.
1236 1239
1237 1240 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1238 1241 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1239 1242 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1240 1243 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1241 1244 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1242 1245
1243 1246 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1244 1247 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1245 1248 so more testing is needed...
1246 1249
1247 1250 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1248 1251
1249 1252 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1250 1253 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1251 1254 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1252 1255 when doing complex debugging.
1253 1256 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1254 1257 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1255 1258 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1256 1259 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1257 1260
1258 1261 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1259 1262
1260 1263 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1261 1264 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1262 1265 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1263 1266 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1264 1267
1265 1268 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1266 1269
1267 1270 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1268 1271 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1269 1272
1270 1273 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1271 1274
1272 1275 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1273 1276 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1274 1277 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1275 1278 been the one to acquire it.
1276 1279
1277 1280 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1278 1281
1279 1282 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1280 1283
1281 1284 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1282 1285
1283 1286 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1284 1287 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1285 1288 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1286 1289
1287 1290 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1288 1291 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1289 1292 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1290 1293 properly flush the output cache.
1291 1294
1292 1295 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1293 1296 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1294 1297
1295 1298 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1296 1299
1297 1300 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1298 1301 are quoted
1299 1302
1300 1303 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1301 1304
1302 1305 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1303 1306 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1304 1307
1305 1308 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1306 1309 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1307 1310
1308 1311 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1309 1312
1310 1313 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1311 1314 %upgrade magic
1312 1315
1313 1316 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1314 1317
1315 1318 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1316 1319 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1317 1320 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1318 1321
1319 1322 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1320 1323
1321 1324 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1322 1325 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1323 1326
1324 1327 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1325 1328 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1326 1329 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1327 1330 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1328 1331 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1329 1332
1330 1333 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1331 1334
1332 1335 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1333 1336 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1334 1337
1335 1338 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1336 1339
1337 1340 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1338 1341 Torsten Marek.
1339 1342
1340 1343 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1341 1344
1342 1345 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1343 1346 line ranges works again.
1344 1347
1345 1348 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1346 1349
1347 1350 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1348 1351 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1349 1352 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1350 1353 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1351 1354 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1352 1355
1353 1356 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1354 1357 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1355 1358 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1356 1359 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1357 1360 more.
1358 1361
1359 1362 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1360 1363
1361 1364 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1362 1365 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1363 1366
1364 1367 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1365 1368
1366 1369 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1367 1370 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1368 1371
1369 1372 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1370 1373
1371 1374 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1372 1375
1373 1376 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1374 1377
1375 1378 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1376 1379
1377 1380 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1378 1381 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1379 1382 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1380 1383
1381 1384 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1382 1385
1383 1386 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1384 1387 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1385 1388 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1386 1389 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1387 1390
1388 1391 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1389 1392 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1390 1393
1391 1394 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1392 1395 contributed by marienz to close
1393 1396 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1394 1397
1395 1398 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1396 1399
1397 1400 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1398 1401
1399 1402 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1400 1403 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1401 1404 nonsense.
1402 1405
1403 1406 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1407
1405 1408 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1406 1409 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1407 1410
1408 1411 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1409 1412
1410 1413 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1411 1414
1412 1415 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1413 1416 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1414 1417
1415 1418 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1416 1419
1417 1420 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1418 1421 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1419 1422 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1420 1423 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1421 1424 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1422 1425 SAGE team.
1423 1426 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1424 1427 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1425 1428
1426 1429 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1427 1430 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1428 1431 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1429 1432 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1430 1433 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1431 1434
1432 1435 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1433 1436
1434 1437 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1435 1438 correctly now (on Linux)
1436 1439
1437 1440 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1438 1441 warnings
1439 1442
1440 1443 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1441 1444
1442 1445 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1443 1446
1444 1447
1445 1448 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1446 1449
1447 1450 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1448 1451 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1449 1452 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1450 1453 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1451 1454 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1452 1455 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1453 1456 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1454 1457 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1455 1458
1456 1459 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1457 1460
1458 1461 * aliases can now be %store'd
1459 1462
1460 1463 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1461 1464 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1462 1465 at __init__.
1463 1466
1464 1467 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1465 1468 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1466 1469
1467 1470 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1468 1471
1469 1472 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1470 1473 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1471 1474 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1472 1475
1473 1476 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1474 1477
1475 1478 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1476 1479
1477 1480 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1478 1481
1479 1482 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1480 1483 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1481 1484 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1482 1485 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1483 1486
1484 1487 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1485 1488 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1486 1489
1487 1490 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1488 1491
1489 1492 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1490 1493 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1491 1494 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1492 1495 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1493 1496
1494 1497 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1495 1498 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1496 1499 usage.
1497 1500
1498 1501 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1499 1502 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1500 1503 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1501 1504
1502 1505 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1503 1506
1504 1507 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1505 1508 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1506 1509
1507 1510 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1508 1511 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1509 1512 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1510 1513
1511 1514 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1512 1515
1513 1516 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1514 1517
1515 1518 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1516 1519
1517 1520 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1518 1521 are now more helpful:
1519 1522 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1520 1523
1521 1524 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1522 1525
1523 1526 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1524 1527 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1525 1528
1526 1529 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1527 1530
1528 1531 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1529 1532 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1530 1533
1531 1534 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1532 1535 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1533 1536 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1534 1537
1535 1538 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1536 1539
1537 1540
1538 1541 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1539 1542
1540 1543 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1541 1544 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1542 1545
1543 1546 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1544 1547
1545 1548 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1546 1549 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1547 1550 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1548 1551 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1549 1552 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1550 1553 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1551 1554
1552 1555 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1553 1556
1554 1557 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1555 1558 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1556 1559 \python24\scripts).
1557 1560
1558 1561 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1559 1562 egg.
1560 1563
1561 1564 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1562 1565
1563 1566 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1564 1567
1565 1568 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1566 1569
1567 1570 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1568 1571
1569 1572 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1570 1573
1571 1574 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1572 1575 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1573 1576 \python24\scripts).
1574 1577
1575 1578 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1576 1579 egg.
1577 1580
1578 1581 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1579 1582
1580 1583 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1581 1584 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1582 1585 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1583 1586
1584 1587 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1585 1588 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1586 1589 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1587 1590 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1588 1591
1589 1592 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1590 1593 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1591 1594 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1592 1595 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1593 1596 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1594 1597 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1595 1598 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1596 1599 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1597 1600 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1598 1601 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1599 1602 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1600 1603 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1601 1604
1602 1605 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1603 1606
1604 1607 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1605 1608 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1606 1609 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1607 1610 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1608 1611
1609 1612 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1610 1613
1611 1614 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1612 1615 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1613 1616 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1614 1617 importing extensions easy.
1615 1618
1616 1619 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1617 1620 classes / instances of those classes.
1618 1621
1619 1622 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1620 1623 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1621 1624 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1622 1625 the user.
1623 1626
1624 1627 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1625 1628 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1626 1629 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1627 1630
1628 1631 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1629 1632
1630 1633 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1631 1634 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1632 1635 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1633 1636 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1634 1637 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1635 1638 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1636 1639 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1637 1640 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1638 1641 the method.
1639 1642
1640 1643 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1641 1644
1642 1645 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1643 1646 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1644 1647
1645 1648 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1646 1649
1647 1650 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1648 1651 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1649 1652 Vivian.
1650 1653
1651 1654 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1652 1655 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1653 1656 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1654 1657 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1655 1658 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1656 1659
1657 1660 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1658 1661
1659 1662 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1660 1663 that returns file contents on exit.
1661 1664
1662 1665 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1663 1666 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1664 1667 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1665 1668 sc files=ls
1666 1669 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1667 1670 print p,p.mtime
1668 1671
1669 1672 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1670 1673 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1671 1674 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1672 1675 instead of syntax error.
1673 1676
1674 1677
1675 1678 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1676 1679
1677 1680 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1678 1681 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1679 1682 data.
1680 1683
1681 1684 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1682 1685 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1683 1686 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1684 1687 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1685 1688
1686 1689 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1687 1690 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1688 1691 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1689 1692 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1690 1693 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1691 1694 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1692 1695
1693 1696 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1694 1697
1695 1698 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1696 1699 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1697 1700 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1698 1701 current dir.
1699 1702
1700 1703 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1701 1704 had to create new files.
1702 1705
1703 1706 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1704 1707 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1705 1708 future.
1706 1709
1707 1710 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1708 1711 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1709 1712 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1710 1713
1711 1714
1712 1715 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1713 1716
1714 1717 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1715 1718 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1716 1719 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1717 1720 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1718 1721 later.
1719 1722
1720 1723 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1721 1724 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1722 1725
1723 1726 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1724 1727
1725 1728 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1726 1729 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1727 1730 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1728 1731 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1729 1732 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1730 1733 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1731 1734
1732 1735 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1733 1736
1734 1737 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1735 1738 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1736 1739 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1737 1740 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1738 1741 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1739 1742 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1740 1743 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1741 1744 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1742 1745 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1743 1746 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1744 1747
1745 1748 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1746 1749 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1747 1750 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1748 1751 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1749 1752
1750 1753 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1751 1754 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1752 1755 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1753 1756 "setup.py install" between changes).
1754 1757
1755 1758 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1756 1759 if 1:
1757 1760 !ls
1758 1761 !!ls
1759 1762
1760 1763 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1761 1764
1762 1765 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1763 1766 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1764 1767 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1765 1768 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1766 1769
1767 1770 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1768 1771 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1769 1772 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1770 1773
1771 1774 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1772 1775
1773 1776 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1774 1777 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1775 1778 win32.
1776 1779
1777 1780 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1778 1781
1779 1782 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1780 1783
1781 1784 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1782 1785 ready for release.
1783 1786
1784 1787 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1785 1788 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1786 1789 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1787 1790 where to copy the info from.
1788 1791
1789 1792 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1790 1793
1791 1794 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1792 1795 support in the release tools as well.
1793 1796
1794 1797 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1795 1798
1796 1799 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1797 1800 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1798 1801 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1799 1802 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1800 1803
1801 1804 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1802 1805 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1803 1806 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1804 1807
1805 1808 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1806 1809 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1807 1810
1808 1811 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1809 1812 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1810 1813 printer not to work.
1811 1814
1812 1815 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1813 1816
1814 1817 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1815 1818 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1816 1819
1817 1820 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1818 1821
1819 1822 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1820 1823 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1821 1824 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1822 1825
1823 1826 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1824 1827 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1825 1828 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1826 1829
1827 1830 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1828 1831 Ville's patch.
1829 1832
1830 1833 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1831 1834
1832 1835 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1833 1836 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1834 1837 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1835 1838 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1836 1839 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1837 1840 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1838 1841 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1839 1842
1840 1843 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1841 1844 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1842 1845 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1843 1846
1844 1847 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1845 1848
1846 1849 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1847 1850 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1848 1851
1849 1852 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1850 1853 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1851 1854 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1852 1855 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1853 1856 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1854 1857 twister).
1855 1858
1856 1859 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1857 1860 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1858 1861 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1859 1862
1860 1863 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1861 1864 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1862 1865 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1863 1866 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1864 1867 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1865 1868 something inside the dis module.
1866 1869
1867 1870 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1868 1871
1869 1872 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1870 1873 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1871 1874 follows the discussion in
1872 1875 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1873 1876
1874 1877 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1875 1878 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1876 1879 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1877 1880
1878 1881 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1879 1882 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1880 1883 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1881 1884
1882 1885 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1883 1886 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1884 1887 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1885 1888 speed up this routine.
1886 1889
1887 1890 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1888 1891 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1889 1892 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1890 1893 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1891 1894 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1892 1895 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1893 1896 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1894 1897 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1895 1898
1896 1899 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1897 1900 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1898 1901 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1899 1902
1900 1903 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1901 1904 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1902 1905 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1903 1906 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1904 1907 setters don't do anything).
1905 1908
1906 1909 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1907 1910
1908 1911 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1909 1912 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1910 1913 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1911 1914 falling out of sync...)
1912 1915
1913 1916 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1914 1917 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1915 1918 as loops).
1916 1919
1917 1920 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1918 1921 win32 system access.
1919 1922
1920 1923 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1921 1924
1922 1925 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1923 1926 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1924 1927 thread-safe.
1925 1928 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1926 1929 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1927 1930 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1928 1931 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1929 1932 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1930 1933 can still happen.
1931 1934 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1932 1935 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1933 1936 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1934 1937 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1935 1938 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1936 1939 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1937 1940 cleanly.
1938 1941
1939 1942 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1940 1943 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1941 1944 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1942 1945 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1943 1946 users' persisted data.
1944 1947
1945 1948 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1946 1949 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1947 1950 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1948 1951 multiline input (such as macros).
1949 1952
1950 1953 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1951 1954 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1952 1955 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1953 1956 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1954 1957 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1955 1958 informative).
1956 1959
1957 1960 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1958 1961 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1959 1962
1960 1963 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1961 1964 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1962 1965 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1963 1966
1964 1967 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1965 1968 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1966 1969 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1967 1970 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1968 1971 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1969 1972 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1970 1973 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1971 1974 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1972 1975 details.
1973 1976
1974 1977 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1975 1978 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1976 1979 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1977 1980 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1978 1981 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1979 1982
1980 1983 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1981 1984 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1982 1985 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1983 1986 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1984 1987 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1985 1988
1986 1989 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1987 1990 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1988 1991 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1989 1992 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1990 1993 options to %logstart. Closes
1991 1994 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1992 1995 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1993 1996
1994 1997 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1995 1998
1996 1999 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1997 2000 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1998 2001 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1999 2002 list:
2000 2003 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2001 2004
2002 2005 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2003 2006
2004 2007 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2005 2008 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2006 2009 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2007 2010 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2008 2011
2009 2012 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2010 2013 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2011 2014 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2012 2015 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2013 2016 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2014 2017
2015 2018 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2016 2019 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2017 2020 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2018 2021 true by default.
2019 2022
2020 2023 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2021 2024 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2022 2025 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2023 2026 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2024 2027
2025 2028 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2026 2029
2027 2030 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2028 2031 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2029 2032 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2030 2033 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2031 2034 version committed).
2032 2035
2033 2036 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2034 2037 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2035 2038 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2036 2039 discussion on the user list.
2037 2040
2038 2041 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2039 2042 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2040 2043 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2041 2044 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2042 2045
2043 2046 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2044 2047
2045 2048 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2046 2049 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2047 2050 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2048 2051
2049 2052 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2050 2053 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2051 2054 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2052 2055
2053 2056 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2054 2057 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2055 2058 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2056 2059 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2057 2060 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2058 2061 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2059 2062 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2060 2063 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2061 2064 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2062 2065 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2063 2066 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2064 2067 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2065 2068 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2066 2069 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2067 2070 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2068 2071 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2069 2072 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2070 2073 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2071 2074 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2072 2075 branch refactoring.
2073 2076
2074 2077 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2075 2078
2076 2079 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2077 2080 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2078 2081
2079 2082 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2080 2083 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2081 2084 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2082 2085 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2083 2086 worked correctly).
2084 2087
2085 2088 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2086 2089 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2087 2090 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2088 2091
2089 2092 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2090 2093
2091 2094 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2092 2095 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2093 2096 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2094 2097 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2095 2098 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2096 2099 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2097 2100 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2098 2101 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2099 2102
2100 2103 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2101 2104
2102 2105 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2103 2106 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2104 2107 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2105 2108 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2106 2109 on this.
2107 2110
2108 2111 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2109 2112
2110 2113 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2111 2114 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2112 2115 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2113 2116 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2114 2117 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2115 2118
2116 2119 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2117 2120
2118 2121 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2119 2122 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2120 2123 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2121 2124 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2122 2125
2123 2126 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2124 2127
2125 2128 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2126 2129 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2127 2130 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2128 2131
2129 2132 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2130 2133
2131 2134 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2132 2135 startup time.
2133 2136
2134 2137 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2135 2138 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2136 2139 it's working in all cases.
2137 2140
2138 2141 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2139 2142 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2140 2143 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2141 2144 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2142 2145 per-search basis.
2143 2146
2144 2147 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2145 2148
2146 2149 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2147 2150 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2148 2151 of a patch by Jorgen.
2149 2152
2150 2153 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2151 2154
2152 2155 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2153 2156 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2154 2157 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2155 2158
2156 2159 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2157 2160
2158 2161 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2159 2162 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2160 2163 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2161 2164 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2162 2165
2163 2166 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2164 2167
2165 2168 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2166 2169 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2167 2170 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2168 2171 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2169 2172 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2170 2173 implementing this functionality.
2171 2174
2172 2175 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2173 2176
2174 2177 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2175 2178 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2176 2179 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2177 2180 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2178 2181 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2179 2182 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2180 2183 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2181 2184
2182 2185 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2183 2186
2184 2187 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2185 2188 reported by Stephen Walton.
2186 2189
2187 2190 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2188 2191
2189 2192 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2190 2193
2191 2194 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2192 2195 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2193 2196
2194 2197 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2195 2198
2196 2199 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2197 2200 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2198 2201
2199 2202 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2200 2203 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2201 2204
2202 2205 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2203 2206
2204 2207 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2205 2208 finishing.
2206 2209
2207 2210 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2208 2211 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2209 2212
2210 2213 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2211 2214 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2212 2215 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2213 2216
2214 2217 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2215 2218 code, handy in general.
2216 2219
2217 2220 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2218 2221 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2219 2222 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2220 2223
2221 2224 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2222 2225
2223 2226 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2224 2227 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2225 2228 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2226 2229 testing, though.
2227 2230 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2228 2231 like this before...
2229 2232
2230 2233 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2231 2234 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2232 2235
2233 2236 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2234 2237 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2235 2238
2236 2239 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2237 2240
2238 2241 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2239 2242 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2240 2243 F. Mantegazza.
2241 2244
2242 2245 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2243 2246
2244 2247 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2245 2248 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2246 2249 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2247 2250
2248 2251 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2249 2252 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2250 2253 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2251 2254 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2252 2255 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2253 2256 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2254 2257
2255 2258 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2256 2259
2257 2260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2258 2261 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2259 2262 beyond readline-based environments.
2260 2263
2261 2264 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2262 2265
2263 2266 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2264 2267
2265 2268 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2266 2269 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2267 2270 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2268 2271 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2269 2272 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2270 2273
2271 2274 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2272 2275
2273 2276 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2274 2277 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2275 2278 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2276 2279
2277 2280 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2278 2281
2279 2282 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2280 2283
2281 2284 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2282 2285
2283 2286 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2284 2287 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2285 2288 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2286 2289 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2287 2290 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2288 2291 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2289 2292
2290 2293 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2291 2294
2292 2295 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2293 2296
2294 2297 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2295 2298
2296 2299 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2297 2300 invalid $HOME under win32.
2298 2301
2299 2302 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2300 2303
2301 2304 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2302 2305 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2303 2306 simpler and a bit faster.
2304 2307
2305 2308 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2306 2309 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2307 2310 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2308 2311 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2309 2312 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2310 2313
2311 2314 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2312 2315 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2313 2316 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2314 2317
2315 2318 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2316 2319 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2317 2320
2318 2321 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2319 2322 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2320 2323 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2321 2324 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2322 2325 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2323 2326 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2324 2327 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2325 2328
2326 2329 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2327 2330
2328 2331 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2329 2332
2330 2333 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2331 2334
2332 2335 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2333 2336 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2334 2337
2335 2338 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2336 2339
2337 2340 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2338 2341 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2339 2342 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2340 2343 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2341 2344 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2342 2345 for the contribution.
2343 2346
2344 2347 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2345 2348 slightly modified version of the patch in
2346 2349 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2347 2350 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2348 2351 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2349 2352
2350 2353 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2351 2354
2352 2355 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2353 2356 I/O a bit more.
2354 2357
2355 2358 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2356 2359 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2357 2360
2358 2361 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2359 2362
2360 2363 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2361 2364
2362 2365 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2363 2366 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2364 2367 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2365 2368 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2366 2369
2367 2370 readline_remove_delims -/~

2372 2375 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2373 2376
2374 2377 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2375 2378 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2376 2379 <eli@gondolin.net>
2377 2380
2378 2381 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2379 2382
2380 2383 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2381 2384 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2382 2385
2383 2386 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2384 2387
2385 2388 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2386 2389 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2387 2390 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2388 2391
2389 2392 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2390 2393
2391 2394 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2392 2395 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2393 2396
2394 2397 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2398
2396 2399 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2397 2400 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2398 2401
2399 2402 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2400 2403 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2401 2404 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2402 2405 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2403 2406 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2404 2407 for more details.
2405 2408
2406 2409 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2407 2410 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2408 2411 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2409 2412 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2410 2413
2411 2414 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2412 2415
2413 2416 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2414 2417 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2415 2418 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2416 2419 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2417 2420 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2418 2421
2419 2422 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2420 2423 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2421 2424 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.

2425 2428 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2426 2429
2427 2430 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2428 2431
2429 2432 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2430 2433 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2431 2434 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2432 2435 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2433 2436 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2434 2437
2435 2438 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2436 2439
2437 2440 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2438 2441
2439 2442 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2440 2443 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2441 2444 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2442 2445 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2443 2446 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2444 2447
2445 2448 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2446 2449 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2447 2450 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2448 2451 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2449 2452 take the text parameter.
2450 2453
2451 2454 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2452 2455 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2453 2456 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2454 2457 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2455 2458 pysh profile to include the line
2456 2459
2457 2460 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2458 2461
2459 2462 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2460 2463 delete pysh.py and the line
2461 2464
2462 2465 execfile pysh.py
2463 2466
2464 2467 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2465 2468
2466 2469 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2467 2470 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2468 2471 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2469 2472 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2470 2473 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2471 2474
2472 2475 * pysh.py:
2473 2476
2474 2477 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2475 2478
2476 2479 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2477 2480 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2478 2481 want it can still turn it off.
2479 2482
2480 2483 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2481 2484 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2482 2485 off by default.
2483 2486
2484 2487 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2485 2488 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2486 2489 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2487 2490 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2488 2491 calls.
2489 2492
2490 2493 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2491 2494
2492 2495 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2493 2496 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2494 2497 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2495 2498
2496 2499 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2497 2500
2498 2501 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2499 2502 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2500 2503 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2501 2504 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2502 2505
2503 2506 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2504 2507 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2505 2508 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2506 2509 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2507 2510
2508 2511 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2509 2512
2510 2513 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2511 2514 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2512 2515
2513 2516 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2514 2517 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2515 2518 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2516 2519 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2517 2520 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2518 2521 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2519 2522 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2520 2523 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2521 2524
2522 2525 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2523 2526
2524 2527 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2525 2528 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2526 2529 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2527 2530 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2528 2531 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2529 2532 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2530 2533 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2531 2534 add new completers at runtime.
2532 2535
2533 2536 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2534 2537
2535 2538 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2536 2539 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2537 2540 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2538 2541 ? system.
2539 2542
2540 2543 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2541 2544 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2542 2545 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2543 2546 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2544 2547 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2545 2548 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2546 2549 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2547 2550 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2548 2551
2549 2552 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2550 2553
2551 2554 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2552 2555 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2553 2556 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2554 2557 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2555 2558 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2556 2559
2557 2560 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2558 2561 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2559 2562 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2560 2563 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2561 2564 add:
2562 2565
2563 2566 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2564 2567 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2565 2568
2566 2569 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2567 2570
2568 2571 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2569 2572 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2570 2573 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2571 2574 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2572 2575
2573 2576 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2574 2577 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2575 2578 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2576 2579 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2577 2580 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2578 2581 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2579 2582 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2580 2583 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2581 2584 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2582 2585
2583 2586 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2584 2587
2585 2588 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2586 2589 prompt namespace handling.
2587 2590
2588 2591 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2589 2592
2590 2593 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2591 2594 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2592 2595 trips the emacs python mode).
2593 2596 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2594 2597 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2595 2598 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2596 2599 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2597 2600 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2598 2601 calls will be made at runtime.
2599 2602
2600 2603 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2601 2604
2602 2605 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2603 2606 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2604 2607 the call to %history.
2605 2608
2606 2609 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2607 2610
2608 2611 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2609 2612
2610 2613 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2611 2614 ipmagic() function calls.
2612 2615
2613 2616 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2614 2617 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2615 2618
2616 2619 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2617 2620
2618 2621 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2619 2622 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2620 2623 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2621 2624 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2622 2625 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2623 2626 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2624 2627 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2625 2628 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2626 2629
2627 2630 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2628 2631
2629 2632 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2630 2633 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2631 2634 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2632 2635 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2633 2636 Ville Vainio.
2634 2637
2635 2638 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2636 2639
2637 2640 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2638 2641 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2639 2642 define the ones they personally like.
2640 2643
2641 2644 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2642 2645
2643 2646 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2644 2647 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2645 2648
2646 2649 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2647 2650
2648 2651 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2649 2652 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2650 2653
2651 2654 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2652 2655 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2653 2656 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2654 2657 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2655 2658 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2656 2659 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2657 2660 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2658 2661 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2659 2662
2660 2663 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2661 2664 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2662 2665 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2663 2666 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2664 2667 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2665 2668
2666 2669 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2667 2670
2668 2671 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2669 2672 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2670 2673 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2671 2674
2672 2675 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2673 2676 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2674 2677 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2675 2678
2676 2679 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2677 2680
2678 2681 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2679 2682
2680 2683 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2681 2684 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2682 2685 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2683 2686 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2684 2687 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2685 2688 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2686 2689 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2687 2690 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2688 2691 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2689 2692 system is a separate implementation).
2690 2693
2691 2694 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2692 2695 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2693 2696 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2694 2697 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2695 2698 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2696 2699 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2697 2700 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2698 2701 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2699 2702 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2700 2703 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2701 2704 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2702 2705
2703 2706 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2707
2705 2708 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2706 2709 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2707 2710 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2708 2711 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2709 2712 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2710 2713 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2711 2714 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2712 2715 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2713 2716
2714 2717 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2715 2718
2716 2719 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2717 2720 previous call produced a syntax error.
2718 2721
2719 2722 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2720 2723 classes without constructor.
2721 2724
2722 2725 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2723 2726
2724 2727 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2725 2728 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2726 2729 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2727 2730 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2728 2731 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2729 2732 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2730 2733 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2731 2734
2732 2735 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2733 2736
2734 2737 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2735 2738 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2736 2739
2737 2740 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2738 2741
2739 2742 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2740 2743 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2741 2744 optimizations.
2742 2745
2743 2746 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2744 2747 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2745 2748
2746 2749 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2747 2750
2748 2751 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2749 2752 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2750 2753 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2751 2754 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2752 2755 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2753 2756 avoid annoying the lists further.
2754 2757
2755 2758 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2756 2759
2757 2760 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2758 2761
2759 2762 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2760 2763 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2761 2764 norm definitions.
2762 2765 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2763 2766 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2764 2767 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2765 2768
2766 2769 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2767 2770 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2768 2771 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2769 2772 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2770 2773 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2771 2774
2772 2775 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2773 2776 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2774 2777 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2775 2778 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2776 2779
2777 2780 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2778 2781 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2779 2782 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2780 2783 fixes.
2781 2784
2782 2785 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2783 2786 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2784 2787 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2785 2788 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2786 2789 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2787 2790 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2788 2791 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2792 2795 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2793 2796
2794 2797 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2795 2798 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2796 2799 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2797 2800 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2798 2801 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2799 2802 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2800 2803 Panel.
2801 2804
2802 2805 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2803 2806 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2804 2807 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2805 2808 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2806 2809 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2807 2810
2808 2811 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2809 2812
2810 2813 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2811 2814 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2812 2815
2813 2816 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2814 2817
2815 2818 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2816 2819
2817 2820 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2818 2821 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2819 2822 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2820 2823 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2821 2824 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2822 2825 python shell.
2823 2826
2824 2827 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2825 2828 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2826 2829 on assignments. This closes
2827 2830 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2828 2831 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2829 2832 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2830 2833
2831 2834 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2832 2835
2833 2836 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2834 2837 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2835 2838
2836 2839 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2837 2840
2838 2841 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2839 2842
2840 2843 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2841 2844 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2842 2845
2843 2846 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2844 2847
2845 2848 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2846 2849 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2847 2850 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2848 2851
2849 2852 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2850 2853
2851 2854 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2852 2855 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2853 2856 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2854 2857
2855 2858 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2856 2859
2857 2860 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2858 2861 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2859 2862 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2860 2863
2861 2864 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2862 2865 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2863 2866 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2864 2867
2865 2868 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2866 2869
2867 2870 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2868 2871 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2869 2872
2870 2873 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2871 2874
2872 2875 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2873 2876 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2874 2877 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2875 2878
2876 2879 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2877 2880
2878 2881 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2879 2882 reported by Prabhu.
2880 2883 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2881 2884 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2882 2885 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2883 2886
2884 2887 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2885 2888 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2886 2889
2887 2890 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2888 2891 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2889 2892 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2890 2893 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2891 2894 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2892 2895 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2893 2896
2894 2897 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2895 2898
2896 2899 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2897 2900
2898 2901 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2899 2902 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2900 2903 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2901 2904 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2902 2905
2903 2906 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2904 2907 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2905 2908
2906 2909 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2907 2910 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2908 2911 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2909 2912 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2910 2913 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2911 2914 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2912 2915 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2913 2916
2914 2917 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2915 2918 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2916 2919 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2917 2920
2918 2921 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2919 2922 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2920 2923 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2921 2924 before.
2922 2925
2923 2926 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2924 2927
2925 2928 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2926 2929 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2927 2930 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2928 2931 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2929 2932
2930 2933 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2931 2934 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2932 2935 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2933 2936 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2934 2937 timing very short-running code.
2935 2938
2936 2939 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2937 2940 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2938 2941 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2939 2942 utility.
2940 2943
2941 2944 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2942 2945 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2943 2946 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2944 2947 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2945 2948 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2946 2949 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2947 2950 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2948 2951 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2949 2952
2950 2953 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2951 2954 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2952 2955 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2953 2956
2954 2957 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2955 2958 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2956 2959 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2957 2960 is for).
2958 2961
2959 2962 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2960 2963 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2961 2964 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2962 2965 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2963 2966 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2964 2967
2965 2968 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2969
2967 2970 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2968 2971 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2969 2972 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2970 2973 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2971 2974 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2972 2975
2973 2976 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2974 2977 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2975 2978 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2976 2979 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2977 2980 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2978 2981 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2979 2982
2980 2983 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2981 2984
2982 2985 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2983 2986 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2984 2987
2985 2988 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2986 2989
2987 2990 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2988 2991 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2989 2992 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2990 2993 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2991 2994
2992 2995 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2993 2996
2994 2997 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2995 2998
2996 2999 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2997 3000 setting with -d option.
2998 3001
2999 3002 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3000 3003 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3001 3004 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3002 3005 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3003 3006
3004 3007 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3005 3008
3006 3009 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3007 3010 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3008 3011
3009 3012 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3010 3013 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3011 3014 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3012 3015 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3013 3016 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3014 3017 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3015 3018 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3016 3019 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3017 3020 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3018 3021 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3019 3022 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3020 3023
3021 3024 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3022 3025
3023 3026 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3024 3027 cache when empty lines were present.
3025 3028
3026 3029 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3027 3030
3028 3031 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3029 3032 options for WX and GTK.
3030 3033
3031 3034 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3032 3035
3033 3036 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3034 3037 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3035 3038 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3036 3039 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3037 3040 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3038 3041 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3039 3042 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3040 3043
3041 3044 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3042 3045 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3043 3046
3044 3047 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3045 3048
3046 3049 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3047 3050 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3048 3051 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3049 3052 many thanks.
3050 3053
3051 3054 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3052 3055 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3053 3056 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3054 3057
3055 3058 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3056 3059
3057 3060 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3058 3061 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3059 3062 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3060 3063

3063 3066 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3064 3067
3065 3068 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3066 3069 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3067 3070 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3068 3071
3069 3072 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3073
3071 3074 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3072 3075 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3073 3076
3074 3077 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3075 3078
3076 3079 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3077 3080 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3078 3081 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3079 3082 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3080 3083 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3081 3084 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3082 3085 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3083 3086
3084 3087 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3085 3088
3086 3089 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3087 3090 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3088 3091 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3089 3092 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3090 3093
3091 3094 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3092 3095 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3093 3096
3094 3097 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3095 3098
3096 3099 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3097 3100 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3098 3101
3099 3102 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3100 3103 use throughout ipython.
3101 3104
3102 3105 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3103 3106 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3104 3107
3105 3108 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3106 3109 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3107 3110 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3108 3111 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3109 3112
3110 3113 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3111 3114
3112 3115 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3113 3116 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3114 3117 report by Francesc Alted.
3115 3118
3116 3119 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3117 3120
3118 3121 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3119 3122 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3120 3123
3121 3124 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3122 3125
3123 3126 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3124 3127 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3125 3128 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3126 3129 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3127 3130 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3128 3131 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3129 3132 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3130 3133 correctly set.
3131 3134
3132 3135 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3133 3136
3134 3137 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3135 3138 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3136 3139 import requirement of PEP-328.
3137 3140
3138 3141 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3139 3142 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3140 3143 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3141 3144 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3142 3145
3143 3146 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3144 3147
3145 3148 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3146 3149
3147 3150 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3148 3151 via a normal python function call.
3149 3152
3150 3153 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3151 3154 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3152 3155 2.4.
3153 3156
3154 3157 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3155 3158
3156 3159 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3157 3160 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3158 3161 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3159 3162 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3160 3163 is given to the user).
3161 3164
3162 3165 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3163 3166
3164 3167 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3165 3168 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3166 3169 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3167 3170 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3168 3171
3169 3172 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3170 3173 python 2.2.
3171 3174
3172 3175 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3173 3176 banner arg for embedded customization.
3174 3177
3175 3178 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3176 3179 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3177 3180 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3178 3181 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3179 3182 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3180 3183 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3181 3184
3182 3185 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3183 3186 minor changes to debian dir.
3184 3187
3185 3188 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3186 3189 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3187 3190 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3188 3191 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3189 3192
3190 3193 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3191 3194
3192 3195 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3193 3196 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3194 3197 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3195 3198 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3196 3199 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3197 3200
3198 3201 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3199 3202
3200 3203 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3201 3204 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3202 3205
3203 3206 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3204 3207
3205 3208 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3206 3209 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3207 3210
3208 3211 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3209 3212
3210 3213 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3211 3214
3212 3215 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3213 3216 updated.
3214 3217
3215 3218 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3216 3219
3217 3220 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3218 3221 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3219 3222 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3220 3223 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3221 3224 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3222 3225
3223 3226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3224 3227 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3225 3228 split regexp. Closes
3226 3229 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3227 3230 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3228 3231 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3229 3232 extensions.
3230 3233
3231 3234 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3232 3235 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3233 3236 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3234 3237 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3235 3238 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3236 3239
3237 3240 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3238 3241 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3239 3242 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3240 3243 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3241 3244
3242 3245 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3243 3246 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3244 3247
3245 3248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3246 3249 fine-tune banner.
3247 3250
3248 3251 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3249 3252 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3250 3253
3251 3254 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3252 3255
3253 3256 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3254 3257 were missing.
3255 3258
3256 3259 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3257 3260 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3258 3261 valid at the command line.
3259 3262
3260 3263 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3261 3264 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3262 3265
3263 3266 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3264 3267
3265 3268 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3266 3269 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3267 3270 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3268 3271
3269 3272 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3270 3273
3271 3274 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3272 3275 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3273 3276 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3274 3277 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3275 3278 continue to use the standard profiler.
3276 3279
3277 3280 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3278 3281
3279 3282 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3280 3283 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3281 3284 close.
3282 3285
3283 3286 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3287
3285 3288 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3286 3289 in Magic and ultraTB.
3287 3290
3288 3291 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3289 3292
3290 3293 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3291 3294 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3292 3295 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3293 3296 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3294 3297
3295 3298 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3296 3299 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3297 3300 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3298 3301 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3299 3302 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3300 3303 infrastructure in place.
3301 3304
3302 3305 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3306
3304 3307 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3305 3308
3306 3309 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3307 3310 the pylab profile.
3308 3311
3309 3312 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3310 3313
3311 3314 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3312 3315
3313 3316 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3314 3317 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3315 3318 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3316 3319 itself.
3317 3320
3318 3321 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3319 3322 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3320 3323 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3321 3324 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3322 3325 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3323 3326 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3324 3327 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3325 3328 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3326 3329
3327 3330 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3328 3331 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3329 3332
3330 3333 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3331 3334
3332 3335 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3333 3336 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3334 3337 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3335 3338
3336 3339 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3337 3340
3338 3341 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3339 3342 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3340 3343
3341 3344 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3342 3345
3343 3346 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3344 3347
3345 3348 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3346 3349
3347 3350 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3348 3351
3349 3352 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3350 3353 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3351 3354 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3352 3355
3353 3356 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3354 3357
3355 3358 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3356 3359 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3357 3360 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3358 3361 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3359 3362 works.
3360 3363
3361 3364 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3362 3365 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3363 3366 practice.
3364 3367
3365 3368 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3366 3369
3367 3370 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3368 3371 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3369 3372 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3370 3373
3371 3374 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3372 3375
3373 3376 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3374 3377 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3375 3378 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3376 3379 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3377 3380
3378 3381 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3382
3380 3383 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3381 3384 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3382 3385 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3383 3386 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3384 3387
3385 3388 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3386 3389
3387 3390 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3388 3391
3389 3392 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3390 3393 fail for any number.
3391 3394 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3392 3395 empty bookmarks.
3393 3396
3394 3397 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3395 3398
3396 3399 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3397 3400
3398 3401 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3399 3402
3400 3403 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3401 3404 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3402 3405
3403 3406 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3404 3407 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3405 3408
3406 3409 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3407 3410
3408 3411 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3409 3412 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3410 3413 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3411 3414 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3412 3415 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3413 3416
3414 3417 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3415 3418
3416 3419 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3417 3420 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3418 3421
3419 3422 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3420 3423
3421 3424 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3422 3425 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3423 3426 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3424 3427 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3425 3428
3426 3429 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3427 3430 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3428 3431 Schmolck.
3429 3432
3430 3433 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3434
3432 3435 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3433 3436
3434 3437 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3435 3438 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3436 3439
3437 3440 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3438 3441 optimizations.
3439 3442
3440 3443 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3441 3444 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3442 3445
3443 3446 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3444 3447 --Started changelog.
3445 3448 --make clear do what it say it does
3446 3449 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3447 3450 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3448 3451 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3449 3452 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3450 3453 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3451 3454 can be done for other cases.
3452 3455 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3453 3456 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3454 3457 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3455 3458
3456 3459 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3457 3460 --added logfile rotation
3458 3461 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3459 3462
3460 3463 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3461 3464 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3462 3465 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3463 3466 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3464 3467 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3465 3468 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3466 3469 --added global logfile option
3467 3470 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3468 3471 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3469 3472
3470 3473 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3471 3474 --added a README
3472 3475 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3473 3476 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3474 3477 bug or feature.
3475 3478 --changed rc file for new behavior
3476 3479
3477 3480 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3478 3481
3479 3482 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3480 3483 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3481 3484 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3482 3485
3483 3486 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3484 3487 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3485 3488
3486 3489 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3487 3490
3488 3491 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3489 3492 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3490 3493 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3491 3494 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3492 3495 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3493 3496 and prepended with a #.
3494 3497
3495 3498 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3496 3499 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3497 3500
3498 3501 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3499 3502
3500 3503 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3501 3504 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3502 3505
3503 3506 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3504 3507
3505 3508 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3506 3509 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3507 3510
3508 3511 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3509 3512
3510 3513 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3511 3514 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3512 3515 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3513 3516
3514 3517 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3518
3516 3519 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3517 3520 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3518 3521
3519 3522 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3520 3523 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3521 3524 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3522 3525 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3523 3526 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3524 3527 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3525 3528 be implemented later).
3526 3529
3527 3530 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3528 3531 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3529 3532 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3530 3533 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3531 3534
3532 3535 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3533 3536 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3534 3537 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3535 3538
3536 3539 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3537 3540 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3538 3541
3539 3542 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3540 3543 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3541 3544 readline make it impossible to go further.
3542 3545
3543 3546 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3544 3547
3545 3548 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3546 3549 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3547 3550
3548 3551 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3549 3552
3550 3553 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3551 3554 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3552 3555 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3553 3556 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3554 3557
3555 3558 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3556 3559 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3557 3560 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3558 3561 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3559 3562
3560 3563 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3561 3564 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3562 3565 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3563 3566 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3564 3567 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3565 3568 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3566 3569 problem.
3567 3570
3568 3571 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3569 3572 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3570 3573
3571 3574 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3572 3575 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3573 3576 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3574 3577
3575 3578 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3576 3579
3577 3580 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3578 3581 continue prompts.
3579 3582
3580 3583 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3581 3584 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3582 3585 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3583 3586 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3584 3587 byte-compilation saves time.
3585 3588
3586 3589 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3587 3590
3588 3591 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3589 3592 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3590 3593
3591 3594 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3592 3595 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3593 3596
3594 3597 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3595 3598 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3596 3599 common cases where it's a problem.
3597 3600
3598 3601 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3599 3602
3600 3603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3601 3604 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3602 3605 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3603 3606 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3604 3607 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3605 3608 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3606 3609
3607 3610 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3608 3611
3609 3612 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3610 3613 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3611 3614
3612 3615 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3613 3616 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3614 3617 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3615 3618 structure as win_exec_ext.
3616 3619
3617 3620 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3618 3621 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3619 3622
3620 3623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3621 3624 delete aliases.
3622 3625
3623 3626 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3624 3627 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3625 3628
3626 3629 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3627 3630
3628 3631 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3629 3632 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3630 3633
3631 3634 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3632 3635
3633 3636 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3634 3637 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3635 3638
3636 3639 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3637 3640 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3638 3641
3639 3642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3640 3643 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3641 3644 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3642 3645 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3643 3646 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3644 3647 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3645 3648
3646 3649 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3647 3650 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3648 3651 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3649 3652
3650 3653 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3651 3654 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3652 3655 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3653 3656
3654 3657 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3655 3658 via an extra $. For example:
3656 3659
3657 3660 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3658 3661
3659 3662 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3660 3663 a python variable
3661 3664
3662 3665 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3663 3666 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3664 3667
3665 3668 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3666 3669 things prematurely.
3667 3670
3668 3671 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3669 3672 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3670 3673
3671 3674 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3672 3675 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3673 3676 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3674 3677 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3675 3678 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3676 3679 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3677 3680 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3678 3681 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3679 3682
3680 3683 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3681 3684 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3682 3685 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3683 3686 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3684 3687 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3685 3688 with the old system).
3686 3689
3687 3690 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3688 3691
3689 3692 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3690 3693 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3691 3694
3692 3695 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3693 3696 call to eval.
3694 3697 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3695 3698 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3696 3699 in.
3697 3700
3698 3701 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3699 3702
3700 3703 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3701 3704 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3702 3705 confusion).
3703 3706
3704 3707 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3705 3708 check for Windows users.
3706 3709
3707 3710 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3708 3711 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3709 3712 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3710 3713 download it.
3711 3714
3712 3715 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3713 3716
3714 3717 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3715 3718 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3716 3719 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3717 3720 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3718 3721 of IDLE's out).
3719 3722
3720 3723 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3721 3724 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3722 3725 eventually.
3723 3726 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3724 3727
3725 3728 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3726 3729
3727 3730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3728 3731 list of auto-defined aliases.
3729 3732
3730 3733 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3731 3734
3732 3735 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3733 3736 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3734 3737 things under Windows).
3735 3738
3736 3739 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3737 3740
3738 3741 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3739 3742 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3740 3743 reported by Thorsten.
3741 3744
3742 3745 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3743 3746
3744 3747 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3745 3748 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3746 3749 for all examples and the manual as well.
3747 3750
3748 3751 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3749 3752
3750 3753 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3751 3754 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3752 3755 inherit from BasePrompt.
3753 3756
3754 3757 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3755 3758 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3756 3759
3757 3760 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3758 3761 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3759 3762 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3760 3763 defaults.
3761 3764 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3762 3765 this fix manually!
3763 3766
3764 3767 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3765 3768 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3766 3769 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3767 3770 distutils).
3768 3771
3769 3772 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3770 3773 usage of new '\D' escape.
3771 3774
3772 3775 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3773 3776 lacks os.getuid())
3774 3777 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3775 3778 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3776 3779 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3777 3780 handling mechanism.
3778 3781 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3779 3782 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3780 3783 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3781 3784 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3782 3785 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3783 3786 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3784 3787 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3785 3788
3786 3789 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3787 3790
3788 3791 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3789 3792 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3790 3793 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3791 3794
3792 3795 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3793 3796 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3794 3797 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3795 3798 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3796 3799 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3797 3800 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3798 3801 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3799 3802 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3800 3803
3801 3804 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3802 3805 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3803 3806 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3804 3807 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3805 3808 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3806 3809 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3807 3810 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3808 3811 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3809 3812
3810 3813 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3811 3814 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3812 3815 functions uniform.
3813 3816 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3814 3817
3815 3818 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3816 3819 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3817 3820 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3818 3821 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3819 3822 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3820 3823 use to parse their options.
3821 3824
3822 3825 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3823 3826 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3824 3827 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3825 3828
3826 3829 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3827 3830 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3828 3831 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3829 3832 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3830 3833 via the prompt_specials.
3831 3834
3832 3835 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3833 3836
3834 3837 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3835 3838 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3836 3839 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3837 3840 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3838 3841 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3839 3842 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3840 3843 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3841 3844 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3842 3845
3843 3846 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3844 3847
3845 3848 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3846 3849 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3847 3850 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3848 3851
3849 3852 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3850 3853
3851 3854 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3852 3855 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3853 3856
3854 3857 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3855 3858
3856 3859 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3857 3860 parens would get passed to the shell.
3858 3861
3859 3862 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3860 3863
3861 3864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3862 3865 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3863 3866
3864 3867 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3865 3868 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3866 3869 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3867 3870 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3868 3871 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3869 3872
3870 3873 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3871 3874 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3872 3875 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3873 3876 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3874 3877
3875 3878 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3876 3879
3877 3880 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3881
3879 3882 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3880 3883 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3881 3884 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3882 3885
3883 3886 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3884 3887 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3885 3888 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3886 3889 official documentation.
3887 3890
3888 3891 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3889 3892
3890 3893 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3891 3894 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3892 3895 explicit filename.
3893 3896
3894 3897 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3895 3898
3896 3899 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3897 3900 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3898 3901 case.
3899 3902
3900 3903 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3901 3904 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3902 3905 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3903 3906
3904 3907 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3905 3908
3906 3909 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3907 3910
3908 3911 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3909 3912 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3910 3913 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3911 3914 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3912 3915 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3913 3916 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3914 3917 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3915 3918 any changes to python proper.
3916 3919
3917 3920 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3918 3921 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3919 3922 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3920 3923 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3921 3924 Schmolck.
3922 3925
3923 3926 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3924 3927
3925 3928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3926 3929 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3927 3930 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3928 3931 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3929 3932
3930 3933 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3931 3934
3932 3935 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3933 3936 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3934 3937 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3935 3938 name).
3936 3939
3937 3940 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3938 3941 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3939 3942 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3940 3943 Francois Pinard.
3941 3944
3942 3945 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3943 3946
3944 3947 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3945 3948 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3946 3949 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3947 3950 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3948 3951 not work.
3949 3952
3950 3953 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3954
3952 3955 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3953 3956 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3954 3957 distinguishes stdout/err.
3955 3958
3956 3959 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3957 3960 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3958 3961 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3959 3962 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3960 3963 the standard library.
3961 3964
3962 3965 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3963 3966 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3964 3967
3965 3968 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3966 3969 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3967 3970
3968 3971 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3969 3972
3970 3973 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3971 3974 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3972 3975 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3973 3976 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3974 3977 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3975 3978 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3976 3979
3977 3980 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3978 3981
3979 3982 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3980 3983 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3981 3984 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3982 3985 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3983 3986
3984 3987 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3985 3988
3986 3989 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3987 3990 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3988 3991 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3989 3992 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3990 3993
3991 3994 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3992 3995
3993 3996 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3994 3997 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3995 3998 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3996 3999 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3997 4000 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3998 4001 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3999 4002 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4000 4003 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4001 4004
4002 4005 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4003 4006
4004 4007 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4005 4008 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4006 4009
4007 4010 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4008 4011
4009 4012 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4010 4013 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4011 4014 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4012 4015 very short.
4013 4016
4014 4017 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4018
4016 4019 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4017 4020 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4018 4021 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4019 4022 this before making it permanent.
4020 4023
4021 4024 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4022 4025 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4023 4026 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4024 4027 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4025 4028
4026 4029 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4027 4030
4028 4031 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4029 4032 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4030 4033
4031 4034 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4035
4033 4036 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4034 4037 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4035 4038 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4036 4039 cases I've missed.
4037 4040
4038 4041 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4039 4042
4040 4043 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4041 4044 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4042 4045 system would be triggered for @p.
4043 4046
4044 4047 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4045 4048 cleanups, code unmodified.
4046 4049
4047 4050 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4048 4051 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4049 4052 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4050 4053 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4051 4054 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4052 4055 The actual changes affect many files.
4053 4056
4054 4057 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4055 4058
4056 4059 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4057 4060 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4058 4061 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4059 4062
4060 4063 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4061 4064
4062 4065 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4063 4066 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4064 4067
4065 4068 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4066 4069
4067 4070 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4068 4071 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4069 4072 numpy list.
4070 4073
4071 4074 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4072 4075
4073 4076 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4074 4077 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4075 4078 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4076 4079 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4077 4080
4078 4081 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4079 4082
4080 4083 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4081 4084 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4082 4085 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4083 4086 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4084 4087
4085 4088 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4086 4089 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4087 4090
4088 4091 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4089 4092
4090 4093 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4091 4094 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4092 4095 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4093 4096 Collins.
4094 4097
4095 4098 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4096 4099
4097 4100 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4101
4099 4102 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4100 4103 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4101 4104 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4102 4105
4103 4106 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4104 4107
4105 4108 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4106 4109 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4107 4110 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4108 4111 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4109 4112
4110 4113 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4111 4114 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4112 4115 __getitem__ and __call__.
4113 4116
4114 4117 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4115 4118
4116 4119 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4117 4120
4118 4121 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4119 4122 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4120 4123 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4121 4124 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4122 4125
4123 4126 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4124 4127 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4125 4128 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4126 4129 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4127 4130 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4128 4131 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4129 4132 necessary.
4130 4133
4131 4134 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4132 4135 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4133 4136 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4134 4137
4135 4138 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4136 4139 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4137 4140 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4138 4141 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4139 4142
4140 4143 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4141 4144 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4142 4145 generators.
4143 4146
4144 4147 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4145 4148 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4146 4149 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4147 4150 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4148 4151 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4149 4152 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4150 4153 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4151 4154
4152 4155 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4153 4156 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4154 4157 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4155 4158 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4156 4159 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4157 4160
4158 4161 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4159 4162 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4160 4163 edit under some circumstances.
4161 4164 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4162 4165 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4163 4166 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4164 4167 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4165 4168 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4166 4169 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4167 4170 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4168 4171 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4169 4172 need more testing.
4170 4173
4171 4174 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4172 4175
4173 4176 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4174 4177 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4175 4178 and simpler code.
4176 4179
4177 4180 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4178 4181
4179 4182 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4180 4183 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4181 4184 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4182 4185 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4183 4186 even if they were contiguous.
4184 4187 (l1norm): Added this function.
4185 4188 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4186 4189 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4187 4190 and speed.
4188 4191
4189 4192 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4190 4193
4191 4194 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4192 4195 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4193 4196 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4194 4197

4197 4200 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4198 4201 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4199 4202 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4200 4203
4201 4204 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4202 4205 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4203 4206 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4204 4207
4205 4208 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4206 4209
4207 4210 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4208 4211 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4209 4212 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4210 4213 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4211 4214 activity.
4212 4215
4213 4216 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4214 4217
4215 4218 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4216 4219 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4217 4220 Numeric.identity)
4218 4221
4219 4222 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4220 4223
4221 4224 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4222 4225 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4223 4226 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4224 4227
4225 4228 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4226 4229
4227 4230 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4228 4231 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4229 4232 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4230 4233 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4231 4234
4232 4235 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4233 4236 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4234 4237 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4235 4238 is implemented).
4236 4239
4237 4240 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4238 4241
4239 4242 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4240 4243 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4241 4244 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4242 4245
4243 4246 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4244 4247 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4245 4248 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4246 4249 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4247 4250 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4248 4251
4249 4252 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4250 4253
4251 4254 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4252 4255
4253 4256 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4254 4257 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4255 4258 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4256 4259
4257 4260 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4261
4259 4262 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4260 4263 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4261 4264 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4262 4265
4263 4266 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4264 4267 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4265 4268 crash report from Prabhu.
4266 4269
4267 4270 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4268 4271
4269 4272 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4270 4273 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4271 4274 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4272 4275 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4273 4276 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4274 4277 also be useful in other cases.
4275 4278
4276 4279 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4277 4280 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4278 4281 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4279 4282
4280 4283 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4281 4284
4282 4285 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4283 4286
4284 4287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4285 4288 installing for a new user under Windows.
4286 4289
4287 4290 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4291
4289 4292 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4290 4293 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4291 4294 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4292 4295 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4293 4296 there.
4294 4297
4295 4298 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4296 4299 info to crash reports.
4297 4300
4298 4301 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4299 4302 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4300 4303 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4301 4304 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4302 4305
4303 4306 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4304 4307
4305 4308 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4306 4309 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4307 4310 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4308 4311 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4309 4312
4310 4313 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4311 4314
4312 4315 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4313 4316 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4314 4317
4315 4318 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4316 4319
4317 4320 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4318 4321 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4319 4322
4320 4323 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4321 4324
4322 4325 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4323 4326
4324 4327 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4325 4328 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4326 4329 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4327 4330
4328 4331 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4329 4332 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4330 4333 with the new auto-indent option.
4331 4334
4332 4335 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4333 4336
4334 4337 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4335 4338 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4336 4339 this class from the main Shell class.
4337 4340
4338 4341 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4339 4342 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4340 4343 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4341 4344 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4342 4345 option).
4343 4346
4344 4347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4345 4348 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4346 4349 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4347 4350 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4348 4351 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4349 4352
4350 4353 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4351 4354 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4352 4355 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4353 4356
4354 4357 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4355 4358 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4356 4359 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4357 4360 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4358 4361 tracebacks.
4359 4362
4360 4363 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4361 4364 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4362 4365 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4363 4366
4364 4367 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4365 4368
4366 4369 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4367 4370 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4368 4371 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4369 4372 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4370 4373
4371 4374 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4375
4373 4376 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4374 4377 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4375 4378 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4376 4379 for the bug report.
4377 4380
4378 4381 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4379 4382
4380 4383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4381 4384 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4382 4385 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4383 4386 report.
4384 4387
4385 4388 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4386 4389
4387 4390 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4388 4391 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4389 4392 end).
4390 4393
4391 4394 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4392 4395 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4393 4396 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4394 4397
4395 4398 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4396 4399
4397 4400 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4398 4401 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4399 4402 for the patch.
4400 4403
4401 4404 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4402 4405
4403 4406 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4404 4407 functions.
4405 4408
4406 4409 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4407 4410
4408 4411 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4409 4412
4410 4413 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4411 4414 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4412 4415 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4413 4416 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4414 4417 private fix.
4415 4418
4416 4419 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4417 4420 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4418 4421 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4419 4422 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4420 4423 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4421 4424 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4422 4425 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4423 4426 fixed for this setup.
4424 4427
4425 4428 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4426 4429 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4427 4430
4428 4431 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4429 4432
4430 4433 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4431 4434
4432 4435 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4433 4436 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4434 4437 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4435 4438 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4436 4439 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4437 4440 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4438 4441 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4439 4442 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4440 4443 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4441 4444
4442 4445 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4443 4446 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4444 4447 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4445 4448
4446 4449 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4447 4450
4448 4451 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4452
4450 4453 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4451 4454 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4452 4455 pickle-related issue in @run).
4453 4456
4454 4457 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4455 4458
4456 4459 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4457 4460 the autocall option at runtime.
4458 4461 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4459 4462 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4460 4463 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4461 4464 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4462 4465 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4463 4466 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4464 4467 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4465 4468 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4466 4469 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4467 4470 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4468 4471 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4469 4472 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4470 4473 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4471 4474 pickles to save something sensible.
4472 4475
4473 4476 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4474 4477
4475 4478 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4476 4479 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4477 4480 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4478 4481
4479 4482 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4480 4483
4481 4484 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4482 4485 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4483 4486
4484 4487 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4485 4488
4486 4489 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4487 4490 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4488 4491 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4489 4492 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4490 4493
4491 4494 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4492 4495
4493 4496 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4494 4497 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4495 4498 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4496 4499 array is non-contiguous.
4497 4500
4498 4501 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4499 4502
4500 4503 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4501 4504 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4502 4505 executed).
4503 4506 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4504 4507 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4505 4508 output.
4506 4509 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4507 4510 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4508 4511 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4509 4512 changing.
4510 4513
4511 4514 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4512 4515
4513 4516 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4514 4517
4515 4518 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4516 4519 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4517 4520 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4518 4521 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4519 4522 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4520 4523 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4521 4524 like a normal command-line.
4522 4525
4523 4526 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4524 4527 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4525 4528 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4526 4529 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4527 4530
4528 4531 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4529 4532
4530 4533 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4531 4534 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4532 4535 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4533 4536 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4534 4537
4535 4538 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4536 4539
4537 4540 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4538 4541 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4539 4542 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4540 4543 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4541 4544 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4542 4545 think it's worth doing.

4551 4554 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4552 4555 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4553 4556 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4554 4557 also work ok.
4555 4558
4556 4559 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4557 4560
4558 4561 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4559 4562
4560 4563 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4561 4564
4562 4565 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4563 4566 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4564 4567 of gnuplot data files.
4565 4568
4566 4569 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4567 4570
4568 4571 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4569 4572 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4570 4573
4571 4574 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4572 4575
4573 4576 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4574 4577 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4575 4578 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4576 4579 for pointing this out.
4577 4580
4578 4581 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4579 4582
4580 4583 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4581 4584
4582 4585 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4583 4586 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4584 4587 Interactive.
4585 4588
4586 4589 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4587 4590 being imported from iplib.
4588 4591
4589 4592 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4590 4593 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4591 4594 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4592 4595 common name.
4593 4596
4594 4597 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4595 4598 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4596 4599
4597 4600 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4598 4601 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4599 4602
4600 4603 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4601 4604 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4602 4605 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4603 4606 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4604 4607 docstrings).
4605 4608
4606 4609 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4607 4610
4608 4611 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4609 4612 (inconsistent with options).
4610 4613
4611 4614 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4612 4615 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4613 4616 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4614 4617 eps output.
4615 4618
4616 4619 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4617 4620
4618 4621 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4619 4622 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4620 4623 Pinard.
4621 4624
4622 4625 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4623 4626
4624 4627 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4625 4628 history file for new users.
4626 4629 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4627 4630 user running in the .ipython dir.
4628 4631 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4629 4632 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4630 4633 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4631 4634
4632 4635 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4633 4636 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4634 4637 consistently.
4635 4638
4636 4639 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4637 4640 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4638 4641 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4639 4642 libraries I don't have access to.
4640 4643
4641 4644 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4642 4645 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4643 4646 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4644 4647 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4645 4648 report.
4646 4649
4647 4650 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4648 4651
4649 4652 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4650 4653 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4651 4654 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4652 4655 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4653 4656
4654 4657 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4655 4658
4656 4659 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4657 4660 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4658 4661 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4659 4662 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4660 4663 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4661 4664 instance has been created.
4662 4665
4663 4666 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4664 4667 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4665 4668 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4666 4669 dict by hand.
4667 4670
4668 4671 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4669 4672
4670 4673 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4671 4674 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4672 4675 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4673 4676 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4674 4677 broken.
4675 4678
4676 4679 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4677 4680 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4678 4681 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4679 4682 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4680 4683
4681 4684 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4682 4685 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4683 4686 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4684 4687 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4685 4688 is a valid one.
4686 4689
4687 4690 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4688 4691 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4689 4692 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4690 4693
4691 4694 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4692 4695 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4693 4696 simply leftover junk.
4694 4697
4695 4698 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4696 4699
4697 4700 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4698 4701 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4699 4702 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4700 4703
4701 4704 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4702 4705 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4703 4706 exceptions.
4704 4707
4705 4708 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4706 4709
4707 4710 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4708 4711 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4709 4712 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4710 4713 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4711 4714 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4712 4715
4713 4716 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4714 4717 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4715 4718
4716 4719 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4717 4720 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4718 4721 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4719 4722 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4720 4723 problem mentioned below.
4721 4724
4722 4725 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4726
4724 4727 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4725 4728 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4726 4729
4727 4730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4728 4731 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4729 4732 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4730 4733 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4731 4734 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4732 4735
4733 4736 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4734 4737 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4735 4738 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4736 4739 actual function names.
4737 4740
4738 4741 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4739 4742 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4740 4743 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4741 4744 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4742 4745 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4743 4746 really be only function/method names.
4744 4747
4745 4748 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4746 4749
4747 4750 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4748 4751 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4749 4752 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4750 4753
4751 4754 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4752 4755
4753 4756 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4754 4757 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4755 4758 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4756 4759
4757 4760 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4758 4761 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4759 4762
4760 4763 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4761 4764 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4762 4765 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4763 4766
4764 4767 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4765 4768 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4766 4769 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4767 4770
4768 4771 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4769 4772 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4770 4773 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4771 4774
4772 4775 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4776
4774 4777 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4775 4778 Gnuplot.File objects.
4776 4779
4777 4780 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4778 4781
4779 4782 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4780 4783 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4781 4784 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4782 4785
4783 4786 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4784 4787
4785 4788 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4786 4789 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4787 4790
4788 4791 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4789 4792 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4790 4793
4791 4794 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4792 4795 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4793 4796
4794 4797 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4795 4798
4796 4799 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4797 4800 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4798 4801 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4799 4802 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4800 4803
4801 4804 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4802 4805
4803 4806 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4804 4807 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4805 4808 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4806 4809
4807 4810 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4808 4811
4809 4812 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4810 4813 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4811 4814 workaround).
4812 4815
4813 4816 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4814 4817
4815 4818 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4816 4819 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4817 4820
4818 4821 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4819 4822
4820 4823 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4821 4824 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4822 4825
4823 4826 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4824 4827 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4825 4828 .strip() is called on it.
4826 4829
4827 4830
4828 4831 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4829 4832
4830 4833 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4831 4834 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4832 4835 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4833 4836
4834 4837 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4835 4838 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4836 4839
4837 4840 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4838 4841 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4839 4842 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4840 4843
4841 4844 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4842 4845
4843 4846 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4844 4847 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4845 4848 __main__.
4846 4849
4847 4850 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4848 4851 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4849 4852
4850 4853 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4851 4854 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4852 4855 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4853 4856 Mathematica behaves.
4854 4857
4855 4858 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4856 4859
4857 4860 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4858 4861 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4859 4862
4860 4863 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4861 4864 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4862 4865 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4863 4866
4864 4867 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4865 4868 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4866 4869
4867 4870 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4868 4871
4869 4872 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4870 4873 underflow problems in Numeric.
4871 4874 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4872 4875 for exact integer powers of 2.
4873 4876
4874 4877 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4875 4878 properly.
4876 4879
4877 4880 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4878 4881
4879 4882 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4880 4883 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4881 4884
4882 4885 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4883 4886
4884 4887 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4885 4888 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4886 4889
4887 4890 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4888 4891
4889 4892 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4890 4893 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4891 4894 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4892 4895 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4893 4896 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4894 4897 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4895 4898 times).
4896 4899
4897 4900 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4898 4901 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4899 4902 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4900 4903
4901 4904 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4902 4905
4903 4906 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4904 4907 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4905 4908 embedded code.
4906 4909
4907 4910 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4908 4911 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4909 4912 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4910 4913
4911 4914 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4912 4915 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4913 4916 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4914 4917 less special-casing to remember.
4915 4918
4916 4919 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4920
4918 4921 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4919 4922 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4920 4923 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4921 4924 arg is not a defined object.
4922 4925 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4923 4926 a Mike Heeter idea.
4924 4927
4925 4928 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4926 4929 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4927 4930 interactive use.
4928 4931
4929 4932 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4930 4933 filenames.
4931 4934
4932 4935 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4933 4936
4934 4937 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4935 4938 initialization via another struct.
4936 4939
4937 4940 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4938 4941 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4939 4942
4940 4943 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4941 4944
4942 4945 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4943 4946 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4944 4947 too big).
4945 4948
4946 4949 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4947 4950
4948 4951 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4949 4952 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4950 4953 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4951 4954 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4952 4955
4953 4956 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4954 4957
4955 4958 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4956 4959 macros having broken.
4957 4960
4958 4961 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4959 4962
4960 4963 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4961 4964 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4962 4965 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4963 4966 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4964 4967 not to lists.
4965 4968
4966 4969 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4967 4970
4968 4971 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4969 4972 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4970 4973 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4971 4974
4972 4975 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4973 4976 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4974 4977
4975 4978 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4976 4979 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4977 4980 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4978 4981
4979 4982 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4980 4983 triple-quoted strings.
4981 4984
4982 4985 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4983 4986 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4984 4987 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4985 4988 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4986 4989 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4987 4990 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4988 4991
4989 4992 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4990 4993
4991 4994 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4992 4995 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4993 4996 ultraTB).
4994 4997
4995 4998 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4996 4999
4997 5000 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4998 5001 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4999 5002 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5000 5003 user's 'g' variables).
5001 5004
5002 5005 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5003 5006 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5004 5007 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5005 5008 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5006 5009 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5007 5010 macros.
5008 5011
5009 5012 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5013
5011 5014 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5012 5015 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5013 5016
5014 5017 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5015 5018 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5016 5019 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5017 5020
5018 5021 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5019 5022
5020 5023 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5021 5024 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5022 5025 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5023 5026 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5024 5027 aliases.
5025 5028
5026 5029 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5027 5030
5028 5031 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5029 5032 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5030 5033 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5031 5034 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5032 5035
5033 5036 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5034 5037
5035 5038 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5036 5039 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5037 5040 user-defined functions overrode them.
5038 5041
5039 5042 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5040 5043
5041 5044 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5042 5045 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5043 5046
5044 5047 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5045 5048
5046 5049 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5047 5050 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5048 5051 IPython.
5049 5052
5050 5053 * Released 0.2.13
5051 5054
5052 5055 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5053 5056 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5054 5057 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5055 5058 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5056 5059
5057 5060 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5058 5061
5059 5062 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5060 5063 magic properly formatted for screen.
5061 5064
5062 5065 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5063 5066 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5064 5067
5065 5068 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5066 5069 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5067 5070 etc.)
5068 5071
5069 5072 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5070 5073
5071 5074 * Released 0.2.12
5072 5075
5073 5076 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5074 5077
5075 5078 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5076 5079 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5077 5080 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5078 5081 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5079 5082 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5080 5083 an alias to @run -i.
5081 5084
5082 5085 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5083 5086 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5084 5087
5085 5088 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5086 5089
5087 5090 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5088 5091 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5089 5092 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5090 5093
5091 5094 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5092 5095 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5093 5096 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5094 5097 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5095 5098 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5096 5099 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5097 5100 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5098 5101
5099 5102 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5100 5103
5101 5104 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5102 5105 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5103 5106 printed).
5104 5107
5105 5108 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5106 5109 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5107 5110 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5108 5111
5109 5112 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5110 5113 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5111 5114
5112 5115 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5113 5116 handle magic commands in them.
5114 5117 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5115 5118 ~/mylog' now works.
5116 5119
5117 5120 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5118 5121 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5119 5122
5120 5123 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5121 5124
5122 5125 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5123 5126 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5124 5127
5125 5128 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5126 5129 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5127 5130 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5128 5131 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5129 5132 variables are in the context of an exception.
5130 5133 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5131 5134 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5132 5135
5133 5136 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5134 5137 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5135 5138
5136 5139 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5137 5140
5138 5141 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5139 5142 magics can parse options easier.
5140 5143 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5141 5144 suggested by Chris Hart.
5142 5145 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5143 5146 directory actually is in history.
5144 5147
5145 5148 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5146 5149 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5147 5150 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5148 5151
5149 5152 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5150 5153 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5151 5154 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5152 5155 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5153 5156
5154 5157 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5155 5158
5156 5159 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5157 5160 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5158 5161
5159 5162 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5160 5163 text (was a bug).
5161 5164
5162 5165 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5163 5166
5164 5167 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5165 5168 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5166 5169 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5167 5170
5168 5171 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5169 5172
5170 5173 * Released 0.2.10
5171 5174
5172 5175 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5173 5176
5174 5177 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5175 5178 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5176 5179
5177 5180 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5178 5181
5179 5182 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5180 5183 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5181 5184
5182 5185 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5183 5186
5184 5187 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5185 5188 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5186 5189 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5187 5190 __init__.py)
5188 5191
5189 5192 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5190 5193
5191 5194 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5192 5195 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5193 5196 test for being inside IPython.
5194 5197
5195 5198 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5196 5199 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5197 5200 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5198 5201 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5199 5202
5200 5203 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5201 5204
5202 5205 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5203 5206 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5204 5207 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5205 5208
5206 5209 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5207 5210 embedding example to standard user directory for
5208 5211 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5209 5212
5210 5213 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5211 5214 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5212 5215 hidden global).
5213 5216
5214 5217 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5215 5218 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5216 5219 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5217 5220 case.
5218 5221
5219 5222 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5220 5223
5221 5224 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5222 5225 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5223 5226 start.
5224 5227
5225 5228 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5226 5229 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5227 5230 Numeric or math.
5228 5231
5229 5232 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5230 5233 provided profiles. Now we have:
5231 5234 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5232 5235 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5233 5236 -physics -> same as before
5234 5237
5235 5238 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5236 5239 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5237 5240 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5238 5241 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5239 5242 string adds).
5240 5243
5241 5244 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5242 5245 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5243 5246 line with the gnuplot code).
5244 5247
5245 5248 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5246 5249
5247 5250 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5248 5251 all included files change.
5249 5252
5250 5253 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5251 5254 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5252 5255
5253 5256 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5254 5257 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5255 5258 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5256 5259
5257 5260 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5258 5261 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5259 5262
5260 5263 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5261 5264 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5262 5265
5263 5266 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5264 5267 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5265 5268 now accessible.
5266 5269
5267 5270 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5268 5271 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5269 5272 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5270 5273 removed.
5271 5274 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5272 5275 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5273 5276 don't crash.
5274 5277 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5275 5278 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5276 5279 remains available.
5277 5280
5278 5281 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5279 5282
5280 5283 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5281 5284
5282 5285 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5283 5286
5284 5287 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5285 5288 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5286 5289 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5287 5290 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5288 5291
5289 5292 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5293
5291 5294 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5292 5295 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5293 5296 sync with the output counter.
5294 5297
5295 5298 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5296 5299 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5297 5300
5298 5301 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5299 5302
5300 5303 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5301 5304 readline, fix it back after each call.
5302 5305
5303 5306 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5304 5307 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5305 5308 traceback references are properly deleted.
5306 5309
5307 5310 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5308 5311 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5309 5312
5310 5313 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5311 5314
5312 5315 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5313 5316 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5314 5317 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5315 5318 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5316 5319 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5317 5320 to catch SystemExit).
5318 5321
5319 5322 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5320 5323 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5321 5324 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5322 5325 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5323 5326 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5324 5327 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5325 5328
5326 5329 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5330
5328 5331 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5329 5332 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5330 5333 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5331 5334
5332 5335 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5333 5336 configurable (it should have always been so).
5334 5337
5335 5338 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5336 5339
5337 5340 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5338 5341 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5339 5342 done in a more elegant way.
5340 5343
5341 5344 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5342 5345
5343 5346 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5344 5347 win9x also.
5345 5348
5346 5349 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5347 5350
5348 5351 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5349 5352 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5350 5353
5351 5354 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5352 5355
5353 5356 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5354 5357
5355 5358 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5356 5359 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5357 5360
5358 5361 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5359 5362 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5360 5363
5361 5364 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5362 5365 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5363 5366
5364 5367 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5365 5368 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5366 5369
5367 5370 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5368 5371
5369 5372 * Released 0.2.8
5370 5373
5371 5374 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5372 5375 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5373 5376 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5374 5377 on' so that the first tab completes.
5375 5378 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5376 5379 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5377 5380
5378 5381 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5379 5382 installation.
5380 5383
5381 5384 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5382 5385 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5383 5386
5384 5387 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5385 5388
5386 5389 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5387 5390 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5388 5391 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5389 5392
5390 5393 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5391 5394 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5392 5395
5393 5396 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5394 5397 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5395 5398 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5396 5399 suggestion.
5397 5400
5398 5401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5399 5402 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5400 5403 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5401 5404
5402 5405 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5403 5406 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5404 5407
5405 5408 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5406 5409
5407 5410 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5408 5411 which properly handles things for windows users.
5409 5412
5410 5413 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5411 5414
5412 5415 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5413 5416 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5414 5417 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5415 5418 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5416 5419 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5417 5420
5418 5421 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5419 5422
5420 5423 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5421 5424
5422 5425 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5423 5426 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5424 5427
5425 5428 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5426 5429
5427 5430 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5428 5431 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5429 5432 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5430 5433 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5431 5434 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5432 5435 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5433 5436
5434 5437 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5435 5438
5436 5439 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5437 5440 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5438 5441
5439 5442 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5440 5443 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5441 5444 cache at 20 values.
5442 5445
5443 5446 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5444 5447 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5445 5448 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5446 5449 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5447 5450
5448 5451 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5449 5452 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5450 5453 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5451 5454 'file show').
5452 5455
5453 5456 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5454 5457 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5455 5458
5456 5459 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5457 5460 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5458 5461 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5459 5462
5460 5463 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5461 5464 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5462 5465 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5463 5466 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5464 5467
5465 5468 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5466 5469 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5467 5470 the prompt strings.
5468 5471
5469 5472 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5470 5473
5471 5474 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5472 5475 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5473 5476
5474 5477 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5475 5478 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5476 5479 either globally or at each call.
5477 5480
5478 5481 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5479 5482 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5480 5483 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5481 5484 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5482 5485
5483 5486 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5484 5487
5485 5488 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5486 5489 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5487 5490
5488 5491 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5489 5492
5490 5493 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5491 5494 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5492 5495 learning some lisp...
5493 5496
5494 5497 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5495 5498
5496 5499 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5497 5500 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5498 5501 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5499 5502 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5500 5503
5501 5504 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5502 5505 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5503 5506 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5504 5507
5505 5508 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5506 5509
5507 5510 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5508 5511 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5509 5512 control to emacs users.
5510 5513
5511 5514 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5512 5515 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5513 5516 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5514 5517 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5515 5518 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5516 5519 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5517 5520
5518 5521 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5519 5522
5520 5523 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5521 5524
5522 5525 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5523 5526 @logstate magic was created.
5524 5527
5525 5528 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5526 5529 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5527 5530
5528 5531 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5529 5532
5530 5533 * Released 0.2.6.
5531 5534
5532 5535 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5533 5536 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5534 5537
5535 5538 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5536 5539 SciPy.
5537 5540
5538 5541 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5539 5542 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5540 5543 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5541 5544 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5542 5545 the section on embedding and the example file.
5543 5546
5544 5547 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5545 5548 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5546 5549 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5547 5550
5548 5551 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5549 5552 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5550 5553 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5551 5554
5552 5555 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5553 5556 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5554 5557 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5555 5558 for this to work.
5556 5559
5557 5560 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5558 5561
5559 5562 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5560 5563 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5561 5564 well inside Emacs buffers.
5562 5565 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5563 5566 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5564 5567 same bug in iplib.
5565 5568
5566 5569 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5567 5570
5568 5571 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5569 5572 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5570 5573
5571 5574 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5572 5575 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5573 5576 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5574 5577
5575 5578 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5576 5579 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5577 5580 display is done.
5578 5581
5579 5582 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5580 5583 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5581 5584
5582 5585 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5583 5586 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5584 5587 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5585 5588 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5586 5589 like in Octave.
5587 5590
5588 5591 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5589 5592 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5590 5593
5591 5594 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5592 5595
5593 5596 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5594 5597 whole file a little.
5595 5598
5596 5599 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5597 5600 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5598 5601 end-user distro.
5599 5602
5600 5603 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5601 5604 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5602 5605 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5603 5606
5604 5607 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5605 5608 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5606 5609
5607 5610 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5608 5611 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5609 5612 for @file.
5610 5613
5611 5614 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5612 5615 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5613 5616 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5614 5617 the code a bit easier.
5615 5618
5616 5619 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5617 5620 information to crash reports.
5618 5621
5619 5622 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5620 5623
5621 5624 * Released 0.2.5.
5622 5625
5623 5626 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5624 5627
5625 5628 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5626 5629 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5627 5630 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5628 5631
5629 5632 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5630 5633
5631 5634 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5632 5635 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5633 5636 have thigs work as expected.
5634 5637
5635 5638 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5636 5639 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5637 5640 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5638 5641 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5639 5642 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5640 5643
5641 5644 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5642 5645 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5643 5646
5644 5647 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5645 5648
5646 5649 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5647 5650 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5648 5651
5649 5652 * README and manual updates.
5650 5653
5651 5654 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5652 5655 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5653 5656
5654 5657 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5655 5658 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5656 5659
5657 5660 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5658 5661 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5659 5662 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5660 5663 extension-less files.
5661 5664
5662 5665 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5663 5666 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5664 5667 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5665 5668
5666 5669 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5667 5670 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5668 5671
5669 5672 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5670 5673 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5671 5674 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5672 5675 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5673 5676 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5674 5677 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5675 5678 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5676 5679 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5677 5680 least make manually a shortcut.
5678 5681
5679 5682 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5680 5683 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5681 5684 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5682 5685 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5683 5686 runtime, with @colors.
5684 5687 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5685 5688 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5686 5689
5687 5690 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5688 5691
5689 5692 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5690 5693 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5691 5694 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5692 5695 read the startup info.
5693 5696
5694 5697 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5695 5698
5696 5699 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5697 5700 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5698 5701 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5699 5702 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5700 5703 type the better off we are.
5701 5704 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5702 5705 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5703 5706 before.
5704 5707
5705 5708 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5706 5709
5707 5710 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5708 5711 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5709 5712 this later.
5710 5713
5711 5714 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5712 5715
5713 5716 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5714 5717 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5715 5718 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5716 5719
5717 5720 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5718 5721
5719 5722 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5720 5723 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5721 5724 spitting out only offset information as before.
5722 5725 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5723 5726 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5724 5727
5725 5728 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5726 5729
5727 5730 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5728 5731 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5729 5732 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5730 5733 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5731 5734 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5732 5735 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5733 5736 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5734 5737 macros.
5735 5738
5736 5739 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5737 5740
5738 5741 * Released 0.2.4.
5739 5742
5740 5743 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5741 5744 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5742 5745 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5743 5746 re-execution.
5744 5747
5745 5748 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5746 5749
5747 5750 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5748 5751 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5749 5752 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5750 5753 documented, of course :)
5751 5754 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5752 5755 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5753 5756 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5754 5757
5755 5758 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5756 5759
5757 5760 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5758 5761 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5759 5762 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5760 5763
5761 5764 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5762 5765
5763 5766 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5764 5767 so I wanted an updated release).
5765 5768
5766 5769 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5767 5770
5768 5771 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5769 5772 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5770 5773 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5771 5774 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5772 5775 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5773 5776
5774 5777 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5775 5778
5776 5779 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5777 5780 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5778 5781
5779 5782 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5780 5783
5781 5784 * Released 0.2.2.
5782 5785
5783 5786 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5784 5787 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5785 5788 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5786 5789 versions.
5787 5790
5788 5791 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5789 5792 (MayaVi author).
5790 5793
5791 5794 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5792 5795
5793 5796 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5794 5797 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5795 5798 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5796 5799 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5797 5800 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5798 5801
5799 5802 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5800 5803 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5801 5804
5802 5805 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5803 5806
5804 5807 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5805 5808 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5806 5809 nice, full-blown manual.
5807 5810
5808 5811 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5809 5812 trivially simple for end-users.
5810 5813
5811 5814 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5812 5815
5813 5816 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5814 5817 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5815 5818
5816 5819 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5817 5820 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5818 5821
5819 5822 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5820 5823
5821 5824 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5822 5825 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5823 5826 people to later upgrade versions.
5824 5827
5825 5828 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5826 5829 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5827 5830 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5828 5831 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5829 5832 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5830 5833 SystemExit).
5831 5834
5832 5835 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5833 5836 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5834 5837 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5835 5838 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5836 5839 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5837 5840
5838 5841 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5839 5842 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5840 5843 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5841 5844
5842 5845 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5843 5846
5844 5847 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5845 5848 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5846 5849
5847 5850 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5848 5851 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5849 5852 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5850 5853 html docs out of it will be found).
5851 5854
5852 5855 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5853 5856
5854 5857 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5855 5858 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5856 5859
5857 5860 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5858 5861
5859 5862 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5860 5863 visiting any directory in _dh.
5861 5864
5862 5865 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5863 5866 it out with numbers.
5864 5867
5865 5868 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5866 5869
5867 5870 * Released 0.1.22
5868 5871
5869 5872 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5870 5873 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5871 5874
5872 5875 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5873 5876 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5874 5877 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5875 5878 screen the necessary mail command.
5876 5879
5877 5880 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5878 5881 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5879 5882 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5880 5883
5881 5884 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5882 5885
5883 5886 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5884 5887 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5885 5888 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5886 5889 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5887 5890 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5888 5891 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5889 5892 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5890 5893 its name).
5891 5894
5892 5895 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5893 5896 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5894 5897 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5895 5898 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5896 5899
5897 5900 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5898 5901
5899 5902 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5900 5903 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5901 5904
5902 5905 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5903 5906 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5904 5907
5905 5908 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5906 5909 completion of @-starting lines.
5907 5910
5908 5911 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5909 5912 info that other files can read from.
5910 5913
5911 5914 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5912 5915 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5913 5916 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5914 5917 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5915 5918 restores produce less errors.
5916 5919
5917 5920 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5918 5921 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5919 5922 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5920 5923 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5921 5924 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5922 5925
5923 5926 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5924 5927 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5925 5928 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5926 5929 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5927 5930 with this, finally...
5928 5931
5929 5932 * Small documentation updates.
5930 5933
5931 5934 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5932 5935 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5933 5936 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5934 5937
5935 5938 * File renaming:
5936 5939 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5937 5940 ipplib --> iplib
5938 5941 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5939 5942
5940 5943 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5941 5944 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5942 5945 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5943 5946
5944 5947 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5945 5948 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5946 5949 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5947 5950
5948 5951 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5949 5952
5950 5953 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5951 5954 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5952 5955 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5953 5956 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5954 5957
5955 5958 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5956 5959 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5957 5960 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5958 5961
5959 5962 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5960 5963 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5961 5964 road.
5962 5965
5963 5966 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5964 5967 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5965 5968 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5966 5969 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5967 5970
5968 5971 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5969 5972
5970 5973 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5971 5974 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5972 5975 file accordingly.
5973 5976
5974 5977 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5975 5978 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5976 5979 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5977 5980 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5978 5981 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5979 5982 separators and proper padding and justification.
5980 5983
5981 5984 * Released 0.1.20
5982 5985
5983 5986 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5984 5987 copy operation was missing).
5985 5988
5986 5989 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5987 5990 its output is always quite long.
5988 5991
5989 5992 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5990 5993 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5991 5994 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5992 5995 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5993 5996
5994 5997 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5995 5998 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5996 5999 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5997 6000 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5998 6001
5999 6002 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6000 6003
6001 6004 * Released 0.1.19
6002 6005
6003 6006 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6004 6007 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6005 6008
6006 6009 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6007 6010 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6008 6011 comment on 'macros').
6009 6012
6010 6013 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6011 6014
6012 6015 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6013 6016 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6014 6017 statements and takes parameters.
6015 6018
6016 6019 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6017 6020
6018 6021 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6019 6022
6020 6023 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6021 6024
6022 6025 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6023 6026 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6024 6027
6025 6028 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6026 6029 ipythonrc-* samples.
6027 6030
6028 6031 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6029 6032 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6030 6033
6031 6034 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6032 6035 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6033 6036
6034 6037 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6035 6038
6036 6039 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6037 6040 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6038 6041 convention.
6039 6042
6040 6043 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6041 6044 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6042 6045
6043 6046 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6044 6047
6045 6048 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6046 6049 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6047 6050
6048 6051 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6049 6052 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6050 6053 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6051 6054 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6052 6055 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6053 6056 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6054 6057 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6055 6058 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6056 6059 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6057 6060 works.
6058 6061
6059 6062 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6060 6063
6061 6064 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6062 6065 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6063 6066 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6064 6067 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6065 6068 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6066 6069 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6067 6070 all the editors, less does that.
6068 6071
6069 6072 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6070 6073
6071 6074 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6072 6075 crash IPython.
6073 6076
6074 6077 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6075 6078
6076 6079 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6077 6080
6078 6081 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6079 6082 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6080 6083 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6081 6084 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6082 6085 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6083 6086 work in _ofind.
6084 6087
6085 6088 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6086 6089 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6087 6090 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6088 6091 (famous last words).
6089 6092
6090 6093 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6091 6094 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6092 6095 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6093 6096 windows).
6094 6097
6095 6098 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6096 6099 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6097 6100
6098 6101 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6099 6102 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6100 6103 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6101 6104 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6102 6105
6103 6106 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6104 6107 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6105 6108 licences and announce it.
6106 6109
6107 6110 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6108 6111 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6109 6112 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6110 6113 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6111 6114
6112 6115 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6113 6116
6114 6117 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6115 6118 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6116 6119 lists.
6117 6120
6118 6121 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6119 6122 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6120 6123 are ok.
6121 6124
6122 6125 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6123 6126 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6124 6127
6125 6128 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6126 6129 this to Nathan.
6127 6130
6128 6131 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6129 6132
6130 6133 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6131 6134 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6132 6135 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6133 6136
6134 6137 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6135 6138 accepted). Cleaner.
6136 6139
6137 6140 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6138 6141 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6139 6142 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6140 6143 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6141 6144 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6142 6145
6143 6146 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6144 6147
6145 6148 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6146 6149 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6147 6150 history after a log replay.
6148 6151
6149 6152 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6150 6153 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6151 6154 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6152 6155 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6153 6156 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6154 6157 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6155 6158
6156 6159 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6157 6160 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6158 6161 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6159 6162 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6160 6163 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6161 6164
6162 6165 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6163 6166
6164 6167 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6165 6168 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6166 6169 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6167 6170 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6168 6171 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6169 6172 one: cache_size.
6170 6173
6171 6174 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6172 6175 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6173 6176 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6174 6177 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6175 6178
6176 6179 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6177 6180 @ or not).
6178 6181
6179 6182 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6180 6183 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6181 6184 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6182 6185 about licensing).
6183 6186
6184 6187 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6185 6188
6186 6189 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6187 6190 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6188 6191
6189 6192 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6190 6193 screen size for page() operations.
6191 6194
6192 6195 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6193 6196 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6194 6197 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6195 6198 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6196 6199
6197 6200 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6198 6201 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6199 6202 option name tables are clearer.
6200 6203
6201 6204 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6202 6205 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6203 6206 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6204 6207 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6205 6208 was also changed a little to align better.
6206 6209
6207 6210 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6208 6211 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6209 6212
6210 6213 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6211 6214 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6212 6215 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6213 6216
6214 6217 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6215 6218 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6216 6219 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6217 6220 he needs it.
6218 6221
6219 6222 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6220 6223
6221 6224 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6222 6225 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6223 6226 warning on it.
6224 6227
6225 6228 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6226 6229 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6227 6230 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6228 6231 was too long).
6229 6232
6230 6233 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6231 6234 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6232 6235 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6233 6236
6234 6237 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6235 6238 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6236 6239 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6237 6240 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6238 6241 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6239 6242 function for the same task.
6240 6243
6241 6244 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6242 6245
6243 6246 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6244 6247
6245 6248 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6246 6249 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6247 6250 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6248 6251
6249 6252 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6250 6253 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6251 6254 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6252 6255
6253 6256 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6254 6257 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6255 6258 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6256 6259
6257 6260 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6258 6261
6259 6262 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6260 6263
6261 6264 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6262 6265 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6263 6266 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6264 6267
6265 6268 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6266 6269
6267 6270 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6268 6271
6269 6272 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6270 6273
6271 6274 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6272 6275 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6273 6276 maintain.
6274 6277
6275 6278 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6276 6279 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6277 6280 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6278 6281 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6279 6282 compiled and startup is much faster.
6280 6283
6281 6284 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6282 6285 while without messing too much more with the code.
6283 6286
6284 6287 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6285 6288
6286 6289 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6287 6290
6288 6291 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6289 6292 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6290 6293 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6291 6294
6292 6295 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6293 6296 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6294 6297
6295 6298 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6296 6299 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6297 6300 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6298 6301 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6299 6302 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6300 6303 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6301 6304
6302 6305 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6303 6306 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6304 6307
6305 6308 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6306 6309 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6307 6310
6308 6311 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6309 6312 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6310 6313 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6311 6314 excessive.
6312 6315
6313 6316 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6314 6317 types (only first word was displayed).
6315 6318
6316 6319 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6317 6320
6318 6321 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6319 6322
6320 6323 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6321 6324 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6322 6325 travel along many directories.
6323 6326
6324 6327 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6325 6328 arguments with default values.
6326 6329
6327 6330 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6328 6331
6329 6332 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6330 6333 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6331 6334
6332 6335 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6333 6336
6334 6337 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6335 6338 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6336 6339 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6337 6340
6338 6341 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6339 6342
6340 6343 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6341 6344 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6342 6345 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6343 6346 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6344 6347 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6345 6348 purposes.
6346 6349
6347 6350 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6348 6351 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6349 6352 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6350 6353 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6351 6354 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6352 6355 one can simply say
6353 6356 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6354 6357 or even
6355 6358 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6356 6359
6357 6360 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6358 6361 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6359 6362 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6360 6363
6361 6364 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6362 6365 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6363 6366 they were defined in
6364 6367
6365 6368 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6366 6369
6367 6370 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6368 6371 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6369 6372 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6370 6373 these to show the same information.
6371 6374
6372 6375 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6373 6376
6374 6377 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6375 6378 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6376 6379 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6377 6380 backtracked on the whole class!)
6378 6381
6379 6382 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6380 6383 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6381 6384 everything works as before).
6382 6385
6383 6386 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6384 6387 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6385 6388 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6386 6389 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6387 6390
6388 6391 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6389 6392
6390 6393 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6391 6394
6392 6395 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6393 6396 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6394 6397
6395 6398 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6396 6399 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6397 6400 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6398 6401 this later.
6399 6402
6400 6403 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6401 6404
6402 6405 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6403 6406 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6404 6407 line option.
6405 6408
6406 6409 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6407 6410 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6408 6411 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6409 6412 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6410 6413 didn't return a result).
6411 6414
6412 6415 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6413 6416
6414 6417 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6415 6418
6416 6419 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6417 6420 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6418 6421 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6419 6422 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6420 6423
6421 6424 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6422 6425
6423 6426 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6424 6427
6425 6428 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6426 6429 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6427 6430
6428 6431 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6429 6432 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6430 6433 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6431 6434 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6432 6435 in with the next entry:
6433 6436
6434 6437 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6435 6438 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6436 6439 handling.
6437 6440
6438 6441 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6439 6442 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6440 6443 namespace protection and documentation.
6441 6444
6442 6445 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6443 6446
6444 6447 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6445 6448 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6446 6449
6447 6450 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6448 6451
6449 6452 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6450 6453
6451 6454 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6452 6455
6453 6456 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6454 6457 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6455 6458 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6456 6459 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6457 6460 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6458 6461
6459 6462 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6460 6463 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6461 6464 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6462 6465
6463 6466 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6464 6467
6465 6468 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6466 6469 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6467 6470
6468 6471 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6469 6472
6470 6473 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6471 6474
6472 6475 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6473 6476 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6474 6477 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6475 6478 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6476 6479 ScientificPython.
6477 6480
6478 6481 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6479 6482
6480 6483 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6481 6484 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6482 6485 when called with no args.
6483 6486
6484 6487 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6485 6488 closely.
6486 6489
6487 6490 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6488 6491 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6489 6492 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6490 6493 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6491 6494 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6492 6495
6493 6496 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6494 6497
6495 6498 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6496 6499 customizations there and access them via import.
6497 6500
6498 6501 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6499 6502
6500 6503 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6501 6504
6502 6505 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6503 6506 Nathan and Janko.
6504 6507
6505 6508 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6506 6509
6507 6510 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6508 6511 too long.
6509 6512
6510 6513 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6511 6514
6512 6515 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6513 6516 ?sin and sin?
6514 6517 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6515 6518 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6516 6519 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6517 6520 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6518 6521
6519 6522 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6520 6523
6521 6524 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6522 6525
6523 6526 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6524 6527 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6525 6528
6526 6529 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6527 6530 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6528 6531 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6529 6532 me).
6530 6533
6531 6534 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6532 6535 protected (reasonably).
6533 6536
6534 6537 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6535 6538 note through it (it was too long).
6536 6539
6537 6540 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6538 6541 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6539 6542 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6540 6543 parameters.
6541 6544
6542 6545
6543 6546 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6544 6547
6545 6548 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6546 6549 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6547 6550 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6548 6551
6549 6552 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6550 6553 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6551 6554 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6552 6555
6553 6556 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6554 6557
6555 6558 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6556 6559
6557 6560 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6558 6561
6559 6562 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6560 6563 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6561 6564 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6562 6565 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6563 6566 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6564 6567 break.
6565 6568
6566 6569 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6567 6570 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6568 6571 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6569 6572 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6570 6573 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6571 6574 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6572 6575
6573 6576 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6574 6577 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6575 6578 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6576 6579 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6577 6580 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6578 6581 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6579 6582 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6580 6583 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6581 6584 trick.
6582 6585
6583 6586 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6584 6587 session restoring.
6585 6588
6586 6589 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6587 6590 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6588 6591 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6589 6592 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6590 6593 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6591 6594
6592 6595 * Started ChangeLog.
