16 20 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
17 21 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
18 22 bug discovered by Ville).

20 24 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
21 25
22 26 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
23 27 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
24 28
25 29 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache

30 34 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
31 35 Closes #149.
32 36
33 37 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
34 38 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
35 39 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
36 40
37 41 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
38 42
39 43 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
40 44 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
41 45 allows wildcards.
42 46
43 47 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
44 48 as opposed to returning nothing.
45 49
46 50 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
47 51 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.

52 56 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
53 57
54 58 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
55 59
56 60 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
57 61 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.

59 63 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
60 64
61 65 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that

66 70
67 71 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
68 72 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
69 73 'Iptl' template notation,
70 74
71 75 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
72 76 safer & faster 'import' completer.
73 77

75 79 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
76 80
77 81 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
78 82 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
79 83 defmacro() etc.)

90 94 and later on win32.
91 95
92 96 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

102 106
103 107 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
104 108
105 109 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
106 110
107 111 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
108 112
109 113 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
110 114
111 115 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
112 116 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
113 117 every %run call.
114 118
115 119 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
116 120 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
117 121 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
118 122
119 123 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
120 124
121 125 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
122 126 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
123 127 Stefan for the fix.
124 128
125 129 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
126 130 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
127 131 him.
128 132
129 133 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
130 134 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
131 135 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
132 136 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
133 137
134 138 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
135 139 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
136 140 each runcode access.
137 141
138 142 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
139 143 message.
140 144
141 145 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
142 146
143 147 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
144 148 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
145 149 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
146 150
147 151 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
148 152 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
149 153 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
150 154 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
151 155 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
152 156 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
153 157 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
154 158 anything up until we know if it actually works.
155 159
156 160 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
157 161 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
158 162 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
159 163 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
160 164 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
161 165
162 166 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
163 167
164 168 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
165 169 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
166 170 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
167 171
168 172 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
169 173
170 174 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
171 175 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
172 176 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
173 177
174 178 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
175 179
176 180 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
177 181 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
178 182 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
179 183 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
180 184 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
181 185
182 186 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
183 187
184 188 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
185 189 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
186 190
187 191 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
188 192 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
189 193 details in comments left in the code.
190 194
191 195 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
192 196 similar to what we had for Numeric.
193 197
194 198 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
195 199 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
196 200 than readline. Closes #109.
197 201
198 202 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
199 203 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
200 204
201 205 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
202 206
203 207 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
204 208 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
205 209 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
206 210 ongoing Unicode support work.
207 211
208 212 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
209 213 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
210 214 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
211 215 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
212 216
213 217 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
214 218
215 219 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
216 220 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
217 221
218 222 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
219 223
220 224 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
221 225 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
222 226 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
223 227
224 228 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
225 229
226 230 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
227 231 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
228 232 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
229 233 long definition lines for functions.
230 234
231 235 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
232 236
233 237 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
234 238 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
235 239 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
236 240 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
237 241
238 242 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
239 243
240 244 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
241 245
242 246 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
243 247
244 248 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
245 249 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
246 250 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
247 251
248 252 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
249 253 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
250 254
251 255 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
252 256 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
253 257
254 258 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
255 259
256 260 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
257 261 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
258 262 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
259 263
260 264 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
261 265
262 266 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
263 267 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
264 268
265 269 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
266 270 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
267 271 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
268 272 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
269 273 sometimes return "" as last element.
270 274
271 275 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
272 276
273 277 * IPython/completer.py
274 278 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
275 279 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
276 280 would be completed too early.
277 281
278 282 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
279 283 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
280 284 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
281 285 backwards compatibility.
282 286
283 287 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
284 288 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
285 289 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
286 290 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
287 291 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
288 292 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
289 293 also works when debugging.
290 294
291 295 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
292 296 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
293 297
294 298 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
295 299 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
296 300 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
297 301
298 302 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
299 303 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
300 304 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
301 305
302 306 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
303 307 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
304 308
305 309 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
306 310
307 311 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
308 312 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
309 313 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
310 314
311 315 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
312 316
313 317 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
314 318 to be installed alongside igrid.
315 319 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
316 320 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
317 321 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
318 322
319 323 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
320 324
321 325 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
322 326 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
323 327 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
324 328
325 329 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
326 330
327 331 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
328 332 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
329 333
330 334 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
331 335 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
332 336
333 337 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
334 338
335 339 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
336 340 as the default browser.
337 341 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
338 342 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
339 343 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
340 344 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
341 345
342 346 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
343 347
344 348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
345 349 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
346 350 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
347 351
348 352 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
349 353
350 354 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
351 355 Close help window if exiting igrid.
352 356
353 357 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
354 358
355 359 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
356 360 before calling functions from readline.
357 361
358 362 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
359 363
360 364 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
361 365 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
362 366 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
363 367 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
364 368 falls back to idump.
365 369
366 370 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
367 371
368 372 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
369 373 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
370 374 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
371 375 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
372 376
373 377 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
374 378
375 379 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
376 380 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
377 381 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
378 382 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
379 383 %magic with explicit % prefix.
380 384
381 385 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
382 386
383 387 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
384 388 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
385 389
386 390 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
387 391
388 392 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
389 393 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
390 394 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
391 395 one wants those instead.
392 396
393 397 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
394 398 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
395 399 instead.

399 403 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
400 404 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
401 405 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
402 406 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
403 407
404 408 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
405 409
406 410 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
407 411 stop marks.
408 412 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
409 413 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
410 414 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
411 415
412 416 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
413 417
414 418 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
415 419 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
416 420 sumbmitted to upstream.
417 421
418 422 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
419 423
420 424 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
421 425 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
422 426 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
423 427 running into an empty levels list later.
424 428
425 429 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
426 430
427 431 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
428 432 for the noitem object.
429 433
430 434 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
431 435
432 436 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
433 437 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
434 438 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
435 439 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
436 440
437 441 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
438 442
439 443 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
440 444 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
441 445 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
442 446 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
443 447 filenames.
444 448
445 449 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
446 450 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
447 451 out-of-process ipython code.
448 452
449 453 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
450 454 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
451 455 doctesting.
452 456
453 457 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
454 458
455 459 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
456 460
457 461 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
458 462 not being correctly recognized.
459 463
460 464 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
461 465
462 466 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
463 467 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
464 468 only item.
465 469
466 470 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
467 471 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
468 472 infinite recursion for one line strings).
469 473
470 474 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
471 475
472 476 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
473 477 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
474 478 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
475 479
476 480 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
477 481
478 482 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
479 483 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
480 484 "%env VISUAL=jed".
481 485
482 486 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
483 487
484 488 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
485 489 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
486 490 but I'm not exactly sure why).
487 491
488 492 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
489 493 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
490 494
491 495 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
492 496
493 497 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
494 498 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
495 499
496 500 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
497 501 the time during IPython startup is spent.
498 502
499 503 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
500 504
501 505 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
502 506
503 507 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
504 508
505 509 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
506 510
507 511 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 512
509 513 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
510 514 to work properly on posix too
511 515
512 516 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
513 517
514 518 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
515 519
516 520 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
517 521 prefix + "/scripts".
518 522
519 523 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
520 524
521 525 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
522 526
523 527 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
524 528 if they already exist
525 529
526 530 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
527 531
528 532 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
529 533
530 534 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
531 535
532 536 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
533 537
534 538 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
535 539 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
536 540 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
537 541
538 542 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
539 543
540 544 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
541 545 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
542 546 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
543 547
544 548 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
545 549 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
546 550 in ipy_user_conf.py
547 551
548 552
549 553 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
550 554 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
551 555 as IPython script.
552 556
553 557 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
554 558
555 559 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
556 560
557 561 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
558 562 is called before any exception has occurred.
559 563
560 564 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
561 565
562 566 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
563 567 to translate /'s to \'s again.
564 568
565 569 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
566 570 backslash.
567 571
568 572 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
569 573
570 574 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
571 575
572 576 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
573 577 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
574 578 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
575 579
576 580 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
577 581 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
578 582
579 583 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
580 584 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
581 585
582 586 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
583 587
584 588 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 589
586 590 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
587 591 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
588 592
589 593 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
590 594 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
591 595 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
592 596 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
593 597 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
594 598 mapped to "%" now.
595 599 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
596 600
597 601 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
598 602
599 603 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
600 604 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
601 605 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
602 606 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
603 607
604 608 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
605 609
606 610 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
607 611 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
608 612 for shell escapes.
609 613
610 614 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
611 615
612 616 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
613 617 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
614 618 vcs_completer.
615 619
616 620 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
617 621
618 622 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
619 623 directly instead!
620 624
621 625 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
622 626
623 627 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
624 628 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
625 629
626 630 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
627 631 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
628 632 explicit.
629 633
630 634 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
631 635 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
632 636
633 637 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
634 638
635 639 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
636 640
637 641 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
638 642 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
639 643 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
640 644 implementation for Text is useless.
641 645
642 646 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
643 647
644 648 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
645 649
646 650 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
647 651
648 652 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
649 653 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
650 654 "profile"
651 655
652 656 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
653 657
654 658 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
655 659 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
656 660
657 661 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
658 662 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
659 663
660 664
661 665 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
662 666 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
663 667 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
664 668
665 669 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
666 670
667 671 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
668 672 with one from UserConfig.
669 673
670 674 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
671 675 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
672 676
673 677 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
674 678 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
675 679 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
676 680
677 681 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
678 682
679 683 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
680 684
681 685 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
682 686
683 687 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
684 688
685 689 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
686 690
687 691 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
688 692
689 693 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
690 694
691 695 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
692 696
693 697 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
694 698 by eval of expr with dots.
695 699
696 700 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
697 701
698 702 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
699 703 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
700 704 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
701 705 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
702 706 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
703 707 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
704 708
705 709 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
706 710
707 711 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
708 712 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
709 713 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
710 714
711 715 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
712 716 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
713 717 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
714 718 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
715 719 funtionality in ipconfig.
716 720
717 721 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
718 722 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
719 723 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
720 724 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
721 725
722 726 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
723 727
724 728 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
725 729 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
726 730 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
727 731 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
728 732 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
729 733 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
730 734 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
731 735 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
732 736 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
733 737 descriptors.
734 738
735 739 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
736 740 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
737 741
738 742 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
739 743 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
740 744
741 745 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
742 746
743 747 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
744 748
745 749 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
746 750
747 751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
748 752 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
749 753 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
750 754
751 755 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
752 756 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
753 757 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
754 758
755 759 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
756 760 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
757 761 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
758 762 ipy_stock_completers.
759 763
760 764 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
761 765
762 766 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
763 767
764 768 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
765 769 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
766 770 when filtering possible completions.
767 771
768 772 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
769 773
770 774 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
771 775 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
772 776 function
773 777
774 778
775 779 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
776 780
777 781 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
778 782 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
779 783 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
780 784 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
781 785 SVN completer.
782 786
783 787 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
784 788 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
785 789 name is %led.
786 790
787 791 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
788 792
789 793 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
790 794 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
791 795 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
792 796
793 797 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
794 798 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
795 799 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
796 800 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
797 801 hook name is 'complete_command'.
798 802
799 803 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
800 804
801 805 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
802 806 Numeric leftovers.
803 807
804 808 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
805 809 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
806 810
807 811 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
808 812 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
809 813
810 814 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
811 815 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
812 816
813 817 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
814 818 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
815 819 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
816 820
817 821 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
818 822
819 823 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
820 824 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
821 825 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
822 826
823 827 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
824 828 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
825 829
826 830 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
827 831
828 832 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
829 833 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
830 834 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
831 835
832 836 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
833 837
834 838 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
835 839 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
836 840 internal crash handler.
837 841
838 842 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
839 843 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
840 844 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
841 845 at the request of SAGE.
842 846
843 847 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
844 848
845 849 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
846 850 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
847 851
848 852 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
849 853 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
850 854 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
851 855 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
852 856
853 857 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
854 858 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
855 859 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
856 860
857 861 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
858 862
859 863 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
860 864 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
861 865 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
862 866
863 867 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
864 868 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
865 869
866 870 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
867 871
868 872 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
869 873 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
870 874 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
871 875 Stefan.
872 876
873 877 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
874 878
875 879 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
876 880 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
877 881 sys.stdout.close().
878 882
879 883 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
880 884
881 885 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
882 886 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
883 887 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
884 888 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
885 889
886 890 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
887 891 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
888 892 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
889 893
890 894 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
891 895 2.5.
892 896
893 897 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
894 898 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
895 899 interactively.
896 900
897 901 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
898 902
899 903 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
900 904 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
901 905
902 906 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
903 907
904 908 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
905 909 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
906 910 or only files.
907 911
908 912 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
909 913
910 914 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
911 915 they broke unittest
912 916
913 917 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
914 918
915 919 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
916 920 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
917 921 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
918 922 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
919 923
920 924 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
921 925
922 926 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
923 927 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
924 928 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
925 929 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
926 930 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
927 931
928 932 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
929 933
930 934 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
931 935 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
932 936
933 937 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
934 938
935 939 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
936 940 the mode argument).
937 941
938 942 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
939 943
940 944 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
941 945 not running under IPython.
942 946
943 947 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
944 948 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
945 949 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
946 950 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
947 951 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
948 952 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
949 953 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
950 954 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
951 955 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
952 956 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
953 957 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
954 958 are still supported.
955 959
956 960 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
957 961 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
958 962 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
959 963 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
960 964
961 965 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
962 966 encoding into methods.
963 967
964 968 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
965 969
966 970 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
967 971 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
968 972
969 973 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
970 974
971 975 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
972 976 non existing attributes.
973 977
974 978 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
975 979
976 980 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
977 981 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
978 982
979 983 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
980 984
981 985 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
982 986 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
983 987
984 988 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
985 989
986 990 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
987 991 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
988 992 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
989 993
990 994 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
991 995
992 996 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
993 997 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
994 998 Stefan van der Walt.
995 999
996 1000 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
997 1001
998 1002 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
999 1003 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1000 1004
1001 1005 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1002 1006
1003 1007 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1004 1008 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1005 1009 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1006 1010
1007 1011 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1008 1012
1009 1013 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1010 1014 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1011 1015 attributes.
1012 1016
1013 1017 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1014 1018
1015 1019 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1016 1020 commands into the methods implementing them.
1017 1021
1018 1022 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1019 1023
1020 1024 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1021 1025 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1022 1026 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1023 1027
1024 1028 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1025 1029
1026 1030 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1027 1031 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1028 1032
1029 1033 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1030 1034
1031 1035 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1032 1036 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1033 1037
1034 1038 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1035 1039
1036 1040 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1037 1041 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1038 1042 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1039 1043 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1040 1044 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1041 1045 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1042 1046 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1043 1047 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1044 1048 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1045 1049 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1046 1050 the x key to "delete".
1047 1051
1048 1052 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1049 1053
1050 1054 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1051 1055 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1052 1056 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1053 1057 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1054 1058
1055 1059 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1056 1060 prompt
1057 1061
1058 1062 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1059 1063
1060 1064 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1061 1065
1062 1066 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1063 1067 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1064 1068 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1065 1069 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1066 1070
1067 1071 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1068 1072
1069 1073 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1070 1074 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1071 1075 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1072 1076 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1073 1077 doesn't work properly yet.
1074 1078
1075 1079 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1076 1080
1077 1081 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1078 1082 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1079 1083 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1080 1084
1081 1085 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1082 1086
1083 1087 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1084 1088 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1085 1089 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1086 1090 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1087 1091 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1088 1092 execute commands.
1089 1093
1090 1094 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1091 1095
1092 1096 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1093 1097 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1094 1098
1095 1099 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1096 1100
1097 1101 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1098 1102 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1099 1103
1100 1104 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1101 1105
1102 1106 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1103 1107 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1104 1108 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1105 1109
1106 1110 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1107 1111
1108 1112 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1109 1113
1110 1114 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1111 1115 Repo tagged and release cut.
1112 1116
1113 1117 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1114 1118
1115 1119 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1116 1120 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1117 1121
1118 1122 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1119 1123 (for %upgrade)
1120 1124
1121 1125 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1122 1126
1123 1127 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1124 1128 instead of looping 20 times.
1125 1129
1126 1130 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1127 1131 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1128 1132 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1129 1133
1130 1134 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1131 1135 testing for release on 06/06.
1132 1136
1133 1137 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1134 1138
1135 1139 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1136 1140 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1137 1141 live in people's PATH.
1138 1142
1139 1143 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1140 1144 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1141 1145 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1142 1146 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1143 1147 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1144 1148
1145 1149 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1146 1150 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1147 1151
1148 1152 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1149 1153
1150 1154 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1151 1155 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1152 1156
1153 1157 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1154 1158
1155 1159 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1156 1160 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1157 1161 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1158 1162
1159 1163 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1160 1164
1161 1165 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1162 1166 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1163 1167 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1164 1168 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1165 1169
1166 1170 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1167 1171 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1168 1172 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1169 1173 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1170 1174
1171 1175 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1172 1176 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1173 1177 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1174 1178 work.

1176 1180 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1177 1181
1178 1182 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1179 1183 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1180 1184
1181 1185 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1182 1186 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1183 1187 author William Stein.
1184 1188
1185 1189 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1186 1190 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1187 1191 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1188 1192 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1189 1193 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1190 1194 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1191 1195 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1192 1196 objects more easily.
1193 1197
1194 1198 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1195 1199
1196 1200 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1197 1201 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1198 1202 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1199 1203 by Jeffrey Collins.
1200 1204
1201 1205 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1202 1206 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1203 1207 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1204 1208 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1205 1209
1206 1210 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1207 1211 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1208 1212 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1209 1213 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1210 1214
1211 1215 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1212 1216 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1213 1217 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1214 1218 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1215 1219 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1216 1220 compatibility)
1217 1221
1218 1222 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1219 1223 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1220 1224 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1221 1225
1222 1226 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1223 1227 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1224 1228 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1225 1229 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1226 1230 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1227 1231
1228 1232 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1229 1233 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1230 1234 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1231 1235
1232 1236 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1233 1237 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1234 1238 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1235 1239 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1236 1240 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1237 1241 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1238 1242 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1239 1243
1240 1244 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1241 1245 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1242 1246 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1243 1247
1244 1248 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1245 1249 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1246 1250 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1247 1251
1248 1252 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1249 1253 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1250 1254
1251 1255 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1252 1256
1253 1257 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1254 1258 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1255 1259 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1256 1260 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1257 1261 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1258 1262 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1259 1263 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1260 1264 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1261 1265 while running under SAGE.
1262 1266
1263 1267 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1264 1268
1265 1269 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1266 1270 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1267 1271 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1268 1272 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1269 1273
1270 1274 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1271 1275
1272 1276 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1273 1277 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1274 1278 updated.
1275 1279
1276 1280 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1277 1281 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1278 1282 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1279 1283 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1280 1284 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1281 1285
1282 1286 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1283 1287 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1284 1288 so more testing is needed...
1285 1289
1286 1290 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1287 1291
1288 1292 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1289 1293 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1290 1294 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1291 1295 when doing complex debugging.
1292 1296 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1293 1297 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1294 1298 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1295 1299 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1296 1300
1297 1301 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1298 1302
1299 1303 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1300 1304 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1301 1305 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1302 1306 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1303 1307
1304 1308 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1305 1309
1306 1310 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1307 1311 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1308 1312
1309 1313 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1310 1314
1311 1315 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1312 1316 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1313 1317 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1314 1318 been the one to acquire it.
1315 1319
1316 1320 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1317 1321
1318 1322 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1319 1323
1320 1324 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1321 1325
1322 1326 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1323 1327 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1324 1328 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1325 1329
1326 1330 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1327 1331 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1328 1332 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1329 1333 properly flush the output cache.
1330 1334
1331 1335 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1332 1336 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1333 1337
1334 1338 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1335 1339
1336 1340 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1337 1341 are quoted
1338 1342
1339 1343 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1340 1344
1341 1345 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1342 1346 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1343 1347
1344 1348 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1345 1349 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1346 1350
1347 1351 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1348 1352
1349 1353 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1350 1354 %upgrade magic
1351 1355
1352 1356 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1353 1357
1354 1358 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1355 1359 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1356 1360 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1357 1361
1358 1362 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1359 1363
1360 1364 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1361 1365 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1362 1366
1363 1367 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1364 1368 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1365 1369 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1366 1370 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1367 1371 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1368 1372
1369 1373 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1370 1374
1371 1375 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1372 1376 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1373 1377
1374 1378 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1375 1379
1376 1380 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1377 1381 Torsten Marek.
1378 1382
1379 1383 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1380 1384
1381 1385 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1382 1386 line ranges works again.
1383 1387
1384 1388 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1385 1389
1386 1390 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1387 1391 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1388 1392 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1389 1393 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1390 1394 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1391 1395
1392 1396 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1393 1397 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1394 1398 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1395 1399 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1396 1400 more.
1397 1401
1398 1402 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1399 1403
1400 1404 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1401 1405 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1402 1406
1403 1407 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1408
1405 1409 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1406 1410 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1407 1411
1408 1412 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1409 1413
1410 1414 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1411 1415
1412 1416 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1413 1417
1414 1418 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1415 1419
1416 1420 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1417 1421 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1418 1422 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1419 1423
1420 1424 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1421 1425
1422 1426 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1423 1427 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1424 1428 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1425 1429 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1426 1430
1427 1431 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1428 1432 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1429 1433
1430 1434 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1431 1435 contributed by marienz to close
1432 1436 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1433 1437
1434 1438 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1435 1439
1436 1440 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1437 1441
1438 1442 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1439 1443 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1440 1444 nonsense.
1441 1445
1442 1446 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1443 1447
1444 1448 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1445 1449 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1446 1450
1447 1451 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1448 1452
1449 1453 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1450 1454
1451 1455 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1452 1456 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1453 1457
1454 1458 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1455 1459
1456 1460 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1457 1461 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1458 1462 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1459 1463 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1460 1464 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1461 1465 SAGE team.
1462 1466 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1463 1467 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1464 1468
1465 1469 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1466 1470 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1467 1471 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1468 1472 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1469 1473 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1470 1474
1471 1475 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1472 1476
1473 1477 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1474 1478 correctly now (on Linux)
1475 1479
1476 1480 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1477 1481 warnings
1478 1482
1479 1483 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1480 1484
1481 1485 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1482 1486
1483 1487
1484 1488 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1485 1489
1486 1490 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1487 1491 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1488 1492 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1489 1493 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1490 1494 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1491 1495 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1492 1496 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1493 1497 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1494 1498
1495 1499 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1496 1500
1497 1501 * aliases can now be %store'd
1498 1502
1499 1503 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1500 1504 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1501 1505 at __init__.
1502 1506
1503 1507 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1504 1508 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1505 1509
1506 1510 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1507 1511
1508 1512 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1509 1513 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1510 1514 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1511 1515
1512 1516 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1513 1517
1514 1518 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1515 1519
1516 1520 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1517 1521
1518 1522 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1519 1523 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1520 1524 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1521 1525 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1522 1526
1523 1527 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1524 1528 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1525 1529
1526 1530 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1527 1531
1528 1532 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1529 1533 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1530 1534 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1531 1535 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1532 1536
1533 1537 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1534 1538 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1535 1539 usage.
1536 1540
1537 1541 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1538 1542 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1539 1543 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1540 1544
1541 1545 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1542 1546
1543 1547 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1544 1548 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1545 1549
1546 1550 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1547 1551 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1548 1552 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1549 1553
1550 1554 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1551 1555
1552 1556 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1553 1557
1554 1558 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1555 1559
1556 1560 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1557 1561 are now more helpful:
1558 1562 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1559 1563
1560 1564 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1561 1565
1562 1566 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1563 1567 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1564 1568
1565 1569 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1566 1570
1567 1571 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1568 1572 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1569 1573
1570 1574 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1571 1575 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1572 1576 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1573 1577
1574 1578 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1575 1579
1576 1580
1577 1581 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1578 1582
1579 1583 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1580 1584 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1581 1585
1582 1586 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1583 1587
1584 1588 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1585 1589 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1586 1590 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1587 1591 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1588 1592 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1589 1593 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1590 1594
1591 1595 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1592 1596
1593 1597 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1594 1598 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1595 1599 \python24\scripts).
1596 1600
1597 1601 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1598 1602 egg.
1599 1603
1600 1604 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1601 1605
1602 1606 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1603 1607
1604 1608 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1605 1609
1606 1610 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1607 1611
1608 1612 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1609 1613
1610 1614 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1611 1615 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1612 1616 \python24\scripts).
1613 1617
1614 1618 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1615 1619 egg.
1616 1620
1617 1621 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1618 1622
1619 1623 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1620 1624 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1621 1625 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1622 1626
1623 1627 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1624 1628 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1625 1629 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1626 1630 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1627 1631
1628 1632 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1629 1633 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1630 1634 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1631 1635 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1632 1636 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1633 1637 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1634 1638 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1635 1639 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1636 1640 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1637 1641 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1638 1642 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1639 1643 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1640 1644
1641 1645 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1642 1646
1643 1647 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1644 1648 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1645 1649 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1646 1650 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1647 1651
1648 1652 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1649 1653
1650 1654 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1651 1655 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1652 1656 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1653 1657 importing extensions easy.
1654 1658
1655 1659 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1656 1660 classes / instances of those classes.
1657 1661
1658 1662 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1659 1663 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1660 1664 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1661 1665 the user.
1662 1666
1663 1667 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1664 1668 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1665 1669 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1666 1670
1667 1671 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1668 1672
1669 1673 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1670 1674 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1671 1675 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1672 1676 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1673 1677 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1674 1678 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1675 1679 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1676 1680 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1677 1681 the method.
1678 1682
1679 1683 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1680 1684
1681 1685 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1682 1686 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1683 1687
1684 1688 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1685 1689
1686 1690 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1687 1691 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1688 1692 Vivian.
1689 1693
1690 1694 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1691 1695 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1692 1696 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1693 1697 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1694 1698 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1695 1699
1696 1700 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1697 1701
1698 1702 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1699 1703 that returns file contents on exit.
1700 1704
1701 1705 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1702 1706 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1703 1707 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1704 1708 sc files=ls
1705 1709 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1706 1710 print p,p.mtime
1707 1711
1708 1712 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1709 1713 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1710 1714 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1711 1715 instead of syntax error.
1712 1716
1713 1717
1714 1718 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1715 1719
1716 1720 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1717 1721 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1718 1722 data.
1719 1723
1720 1724 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1721 1725 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1722 1726 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1723 1727 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1724 1728
1725 1729 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1726 1730 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1727 1731 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1728 1732 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1729 1733 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1730 1734 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1731 1735
1732 1736 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1733 1737
1734 1738 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1735 1739 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1736 1740 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1737 1741 current dir.
1738 1742
1739 1743 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1740 1744 had to create new files.
1741 1745
1742 1746 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1743 1747 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1744 1748 future.
1745 1749
1746 1750 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1747 1751 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1748 1752 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1749 1753
1750 1754
1751 1755 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1752 1756
1753 1757 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1754 1758 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1755 1759 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1756 1760 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1757 1761 later.
1758 1762
1759 1763 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1760 1764 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1761 1765
1762 1766 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1763 1767
1764 1768 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1765 1769 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1766 1770 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1767 1771 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1768 1772 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1769 1773 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1770 1774
1771 1775 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1772 1776
1773 1777 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1774 1778 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1775 1779 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1776 1780 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1777 1781 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1778 1782 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1779 1783 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1780 1784 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1781 1785 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1782 1786 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1783 1787
1784 1788 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1785 1789 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1786 1790 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1787 1791 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1788 1792
1789 1793 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1790 1794 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1791 1795 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1792 1796 "setup.py install" between changes).
1793 1797
1794 1798 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1795 1799 if 1:
1796 1800 !ls
1797 1801 !!ls
1798 1802
1799 1803 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1800 1804
1801 1805 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1802 1806 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1803 1807 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1804 1808 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1805 1809
1806 1810 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1807 1811 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1808 1812 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1809 1813
1810 1814 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1811 1815
1812 1816 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1813 1817 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1814 1818 win32.
1815 1819
1816 1820 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1817 1821
1818 1822 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1819 1823
1820 1824 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1821 1825 ready for release.
1822 1826
1823 1827 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1824 1828 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1825 1829 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1826 1830 where to copy the info from.
1827 1831
1828 1832 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1829 1833
1830 1834 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1831 1835 support in the release tools as well.
1832 1836
1833 1837 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1834 1838
1835 1839 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1836 1840 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1837 1841 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1838 1842 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1839 1843
1840 1844 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1841 1845 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1842 1846 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1843 1847
1844 1848 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1845 1849 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1846 1850
1847 1851 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1848 1852 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1849 1853 printer not to work.
1850 1854
1851 1855 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1852 1856
1853 1857 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1854 1858 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1855 1859
1856 1860 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1857 1861
1858 1862 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1859 1863 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1860 1864 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1861 1865
1862 1866 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1863 1867 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1864 1868 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1865 1869
1866 1870 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1867 1871 Ville's patch.
1868 1872
1869 1873 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1870 1874
1871 1875 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1872 1876 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1873 1877 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1874 1878 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1875 1879 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1876 1880 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1877 1881 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1878 1882
1879 1883 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1880 1884 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1881 1885 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1882 1886
1883 1887 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1884 1888
1885 1889 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1886 1890 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1887 1891
1888 1892 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1889 1893 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1890 1894 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1891 1895 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1892 1896 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1893 1897 twister).
1894 1898
1895 1899 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1896 1900 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1897 1901 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1898 1902
1899 1903 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1900 1904 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1901 1905 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1902 1906 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1903 1907 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1904 1908 something inside the dis module.
1905 1909
1906 1910 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1907 1911
1908 1912 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1909 1913 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1910 1914 follows the discussion in
1911 1915 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1912 1916
1913 1917 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1914 1918 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1915 1919 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1916 1920
1917 1921 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1918 1922 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1919 1923 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1920 1924
1921 1925 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1922 1926 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1923 1927 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1924 1928 speed up this routine.
1925 1929
1926 1930 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1927 1931 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1928 1932 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1929 1933 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1930 1934 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1931 1935 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1932 1936 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1933 1937 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1934 1938
1935 1939 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1936 1940 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1937 1941 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1938 1942
1939 1943 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1940 1944 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1941 1945 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1942 1946 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1943 1947 setters don't do anything).
1944 1948
1945 1949 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1946 1950
1947 1951 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1948 1952 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1949 1953 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1950 1954 falling out of sync...)
1951 1955
1952 1956 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1953 1957 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1954 1958 as loops).
1955 1959
1956 1960 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1957 1961 win32 system access.
1958 1962
1959 1963 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1960 1964
1961 1965 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1962 1966 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1963 1967 thread-safe.
1964 1968 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1965 1969 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1966 1970 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1967 1971 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1968 1972 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1969 1973 can still happen.
1970 1974 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1971 1975 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1972 1976 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1973 1977 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1974 1978 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1975 1979 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1976 1980 cleanly.
1977 1981
1978 1982 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1979 1983 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1980 1984 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1981 1985 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1982 1986 users' persisted data.
1983 1987
1984 1988 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1985 1989 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1986 1990 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1987 1991 multiline input (such as macros).
1988 1992
1989 1993 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1990 1994 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1991 1995 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1992 1996 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1993 1997 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1994 1998 informative).
1995 1999
1996 2000 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1997 2001 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1998 2002
1999 2003 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2000 2004 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2001 2005 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2002 2006
2003 2007 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2004 2008 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2005 2009 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2006 2010 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2007 2011 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2008 2012 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2009 2013 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2010 2014 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2011 2015 details.
2012 2016
2013 2017 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2014 2018 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2015 2019 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2016 2020 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2017 2021 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2018 2022
2019 2023 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2020 2024 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2021 2025 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2022 2026 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2023 2027 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2024 2028
2025 2029 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2026 2030 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2027 2031 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2028 2032 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2029 2033 options to %logstart. Closes
2030 2034 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2031 2035 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2032 2036
2033 2037 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2034 2038
2035 2039 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2036 2040 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2037 2041 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2038 2042 list:
2039 2043 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2040 2044
2041 2045 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2042 2046
2043 2047 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2044 2048 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2045 2049 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2046 2050 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2047 2051
2048 2052 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2049 2053 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2050 2054 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2051 2055 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2052 2056 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2053 2057
2054 2058 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2055 2059 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2056 2060 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2057 2061 true by default.
2058 2062
2059 2063 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2060 2064 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2061 2065 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2062 2066 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2063 2067
2064 2068 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2065 2069
2066 2070 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2067 2071 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2068 2072 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2069 2073 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2070 2074 version committed).
2071 2075
2072 2076 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2073 2077 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2074 2078 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2075 2079 discussion on the user list.
2076 2080
2077 2081 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2078 2082 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2079 2083 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2080 2084 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2081 2085
2082 2086 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2083 2087
2084 2088 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2085 2089 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2086 2090 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2087 2091
2088 2092 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2089 2093 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2090 2094 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2091 2095
2092 2096 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2093 2097 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2094 2098 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2095 2099 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2096 2100 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2097 2101 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2098 2102 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2099 2103 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2100 2104 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2101 2105 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2102 2106 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2103 2107 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2104 2108 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2105 2109 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2106 2110 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2107 2111 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2108 2112 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2109 2113 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2110 2114 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2111 2115 branch refactoring.
2112 2116
2113 2117 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2114 2118
2115 2119 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2116 2120 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2117 2121
2118 2122 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2119 2123 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2120 2124 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2121 2125 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2122 2126 worked correctly).
2123 2127
2124 2128 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2125 2129 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2126 2130 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2127 2131
2128 2132 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2129 2133
2130 2134 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2131 2135 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2132 2136 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2133 2137 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2134 2138 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2135 2139 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2136 2140 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2137 2141 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2138 2142
2139 2143 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2140 2144
2141 2145 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2142 2146 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2143 2147 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2144 2148 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2145 2149 on this.
2146 2150
2147 2151 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2148 2152
2149 2153 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2150 2154 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2151 2155 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2152 2156 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2153 2157 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2154 2158
2155 2159 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2156 2160
2157 2161 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2158 2162 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2159 2163 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2160 2164 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2161 2165
2162 2166 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2163 2167
2164 2168 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2165 2169 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2166 2170 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2167 2171
2168 2172 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2169 2173
2170 2174 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2171 2175 startup time.
2172 2176
2173 2177 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2174 2178 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2175 2179 it's working in all cases.
2176 2180
2177 2181 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2178 2182 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2179 2183 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2180 2184 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2181 2185 per-search basis.
2182 2186
2183 2187 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2184 2188
2185 2189 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2186 2190 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2187 2191 of a patch by Jorgen.
2188 2192
2189 2193 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2190 2194
2191 2195 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2192 2196 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2193 2197 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2194 2198
2195 2199 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2196 2200
2197 2201 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2198 2202 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2199 2203 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2200 2204 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2201 2205
2202 2206 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2203 2207
2204 2208 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2205 2209 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2206 2210 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2207 2211 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2208 2212 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2209 2213 implementing this functionality.
2210 2214
2211 2215 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2212 2216
2213 2217 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2214 2218 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2215 2219 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2216 2220 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2217 2221 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2218 2222 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2219 2223 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2220 2224
2221 2225 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2222 2226
2223 2227 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2224 2228 reported by Stephen Walton.
2225 2229
2226 2230 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2227 2231
2228 2232 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2229 2233
2230 2234 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2231 2235 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2232 2236

2235 2239 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2236 2240 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2237 2241
2238 2242 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2239 2243 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2240 2244
2241 2245 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2242 2246
2243 2247 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2244 2248 finishing.
2245 2249
2246 2250 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2247 2251 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2248 2252
2249 2253 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2250 2254 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2251 2255 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2252 2256
2253 2257 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2254 2258 code, handy in general.
2255 2259
2256 2260 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2257 2261 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2258 2262 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2259 2263
2260 2264 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2261 2265
2262 2266 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2263 2267 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2264 2268 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2265 2269 testing, though.
2266 2270 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2267 2271 like this before...
2268 2272
2269 2273 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2270 2274 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2271 2275
2272 2276 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2273 2277 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2274 2278
2275 2279 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2276 2280
2277 2281 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2278 2282 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2279 2283 F. Mantegazza.
2280 2284
2281 2285 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2282 2286
2283 2287 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2284 2288 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2285 2289 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2286 2290
2287 2291 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2288 2292 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2289 2293 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2290 2294 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2291 2295 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2292 2296 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2293 2297
2294 2298 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2295 2299
2296 2300 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2297 2301 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2298 2302 beyond readline-based environments.
2299 2303
2300 2304 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2301 2305
2302 2306 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2303 2307
2304 2308 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2305 2309 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2306 2310 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2307 2311 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2308 2312 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2309 2313
2310 2314 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2311 2315
2312 2316 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2313 2317 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2314 2318 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2315 2319
2316 2320 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2317 2321
2318 2322 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2319 2323
2320 2324 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2321 2325
2322 2326 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2323 2327 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2324 2328 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2325 2329 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2326 2330 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2327 2331 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2328 2332
2329 2333 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2330 2334
2331 2335 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2332 2336
2333 2337 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2334 2338
2335 2339 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2336 2340 invalid $HOME under win32.
2337 2341
2338 2342 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2339 2343
2340 2344 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2341 2345 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2342 2346 simpler and a bit faster.
2343 2347
2344 2348 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2345 2349 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2346 2350 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2347 2351 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2348 2352 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2349 2353
2350 2354 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2351 2355 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2352 2356 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2353 2357
2354 2358 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2355 2359 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2356 2360
2357 2361 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2358 2362 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2359 2363 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2360 2364 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2361 2365 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2362 2366 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2363 2367 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2364 2368
2365 2369 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2366 2370
2367 2371 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2368 2372
2369 2373 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2370 2374
2371 2375 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2372 2376 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2373 2377
2374 2378 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2375 2379
2376 2380 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2377 2381 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2378 2382 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2379 2383 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2380 2384 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2381 2385 for the contribution.
2382 2386
2383 2387 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2384 2388 slightly modified version of the patch in
2385 2389 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2386 2390 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2387 2391 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2388 2392
2389 2393 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2390 2394
2391 2395 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2392 2396 I/O a bit more.
2393 2397
2394 2398 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2395 2399 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2396 2400
2397 2401 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2398 2402
2399 2403 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2400 2404
2401 2405 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2402 2406 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2403 2407 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2404 2408 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2405 2409
2406 2410 readline_remove_delims -/~
2407 2411
2408 2412
2409 2413 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2410 2414
2411 2415 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2412 2416
2413 2417 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2414 2418 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2415 2419 <eli@gondolin.net>
2416 2420
2417 2421 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2418 2422
2419 2423 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2420 2424 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2421 2425
2422 2426 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2423 2427
2424 2428 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2425 2429 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2426 2430 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2427 2431
2428 2432 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2429 2433
2430 2434 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2431 2435 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2432 2436
2433 2437 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2434 2438
2435 2439 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2436 2440 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2437 2441
2438 2442 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2439 2443 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2440 2444 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2441 2445 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2442 2446 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2443 2447 for more details.
2444 2448
2445 2449 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2446 2450 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2447 2451 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2448 2452 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2449 2453
2450 2454 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2451 2455
2452 2456 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2453 2457 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2454 2458 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2455 2459 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2456 2460 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2457 2461
2458 2462 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2459 2463 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2460 2464 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2461 2465
2462 2466 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2463 2467
2464 2468 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2465 2469
2466 2470 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2467 2471
2468 2472 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2469 2473 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2470 2474 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2471 2475 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2472 2476 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2473 2477
2474 2478 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2475 2479
2476 2480 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2477 2481
2478 2482 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2479 2483 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2480 2484 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2481 2485 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2482 2486 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2483 2487
2484 2488 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2485 2489 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2486 2490 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2487 2491 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2488 2492 take the text parameter.
2489 2493
2490 2494 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2491 2495 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2492 2496 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2493 2497 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2494 2498 pysh profile to include the line
2495 2499
2496 2500 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2497 2501
2498 2502 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2499 2503 delete pysh.py and the line
2500 2504
2501 2505 execfile pysh.py
2502 2506
2503 2507 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2504 2508
2505 2509 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2506 2510 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2507 2511 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2508 2512 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2509 2513 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2510 2514
2511 2515 * pysh.py:
2512 2516
2513 2517 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2514 2518
2515 2519 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2516 2520 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2517 2521 want it can still turn it off.
2518 2522
2519 2523 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2520 2524 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2521 2525 off by default.
2522 2526
2523 2527 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2524 2528 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2525 2529 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2526 2530 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2527 2531 calls.
2528 2532
2529 2533 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2530 2534
2531 2535 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2532 2536 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2533 2537 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2534 2538
2535 2539 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2536 2540
2537 2541 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2538 2542 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2539 2543 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2540 2544 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2541 2545
2542 2546 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2543 2547 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2544 2548 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2545 2549 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2546 2550
2547 2551 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2548 2552
2549 2553 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2550 2554 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2551 2555
2552 2556 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2553 2557 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2554 2558 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2555 2559 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2556 2560 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2557 2561 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2558 2562 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2559 2563 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2560 2564
2561 2565 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2562 2566
2563 2567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2564 2568 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2565 2569 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2566 2570 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2567 2571 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2568 2572 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2569 2573 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2570 2574 add new completers at runtime.
2571 2575
2572 2576 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2573 2577
2574 2578 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2575 2579 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2576 2580 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2577 2581 ? system.
2578 2582
2579 2583 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2580 2584 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2581 2585 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2582 2586 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2583 2587 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2584 2588 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2585 2589 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2586 2590 conveninent, so not all is lost.

2590 2594 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2591 2595 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2592 2596 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2593 2597 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2594 2598 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2595 2599
2596 2600 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2597 2601 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2598 2602 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2599 2603 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2600 2604 add:
2601 2605
2602 2606 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2603 2607 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

2605 2609 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2606 2610
2607 2611 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2608 2612 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2609 2613 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2610 2614 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2611 2615
2612 2616 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2613 2617 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2614 2618 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2615 2619 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2616 2620 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2617 2621 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2618 2622 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2619 2623 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2620 2624 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2621 2625
2622 2626 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2623 2627
2624 2628 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2625 2629 prompt namespace handling.
2626 2630
2627 2631 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2628 2632
2629 2633 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2630 2634 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2631 2635 trips the emacs python mode).
2632 2636 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2633 2637 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2634 2638 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2635 2639 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2636 2640 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2637 2641 calls will be made at runtime.
2638 2642
2639 2643 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2640 2644
2641 2645 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2642 2646 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2643 2647 the call to %history.
2644 2648

2647 2651 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2648 2652
2649 2653 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2650 2654 ipmagic() function calls.
2651 2655
2652 2656 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2653 2657 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2654 2658
2655 2659 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2656 2660
2657 2661 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2658 2662 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2659 2663 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2660 2664 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2661 2665 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2662 2666 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2663 2667 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2664 2668 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2665 2669
2666 2670 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2667 2671
2668 2672 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2669 2673 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2670 2674 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2671 2675 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2672 2676 Ville Vainio.
2673 2677
2674 2678 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2675 2679
2676 2680 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2677 2681 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2678 2682 define the ones they personally like.
2679 2683
2680 2684 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2681 2685
2682 2686 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2683 2687 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2684 2688
2685 2689 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2686 2690
2687 2691 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2688 2692 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2689 2693
2690 2694 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2691 2695 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2692 2696 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2693 2697 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2694 2698 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2695 2699 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2696 2700 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2697 2701 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2698 2702
2699 2703 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2700 2704 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2701 2705 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2702 2706 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2703 2707 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2705 2709 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2706 2710
2707 2711 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2708 2712 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2709 2713 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2710 2714
2711 2715 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2712 2716 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2713 2717 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2714 2718
2715 2719 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2716 2720
2717 2721 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2718 2722
2719 2723 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2720 2724 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2721 2725 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2722 2726 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2723 2727 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2724 2728 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2725 2729 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2726 2730 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2727 2731 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2728 2732 system is a separate implementation).
2729 2733
2730 2734 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2731 2735 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2732 2736 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2733 2737 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2734 2738 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2735 2739 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2736 2740 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2737 2741 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2738 2742 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2739 2743 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2740 2744 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2741 2745
2742 2746 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2743 2747
2744 2748 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2745 2749 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2746 2750 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2747 2751 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2748 2752 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2749 2753 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2750 2754 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2751 2755 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2752 2756
2753 2757 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2754 2758
2755 2759 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2756 2760 previous call produced a syntax error.
2757 2761
2758 2762 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2759 2763 classes without constructor.
2760 2764
2761 2765 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2762 2766
2763 2767 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2764 2768 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2765 2769 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2766 2770 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2767 2771 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2768 2772 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2769 2773 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2770 2774
2771 2775 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2772 2776
2773 2777 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2774 2778 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2775 2779
2776 2780 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2777 2781
2778 2782 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2779 2783 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2780 2784 optimizations.
2781 2785
2782 2786 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2783 2787 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2784 2788
2785 2789 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2786 2790
2787 2791 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2788 2792 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2789 2793 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2790 2794 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2791 2795 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2792 2796 avoid annoying the lists further.
2793 2797
2794 2798 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2795 2799
2796 2800 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2797 2801
2798 2802 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2799 2803 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2800 2804 norm definitions.
2801 2805 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2802 2806 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2803 2807 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2804 2808
2805 2809 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2806 2810 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2807 2811 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2808 2812 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2809 2813 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2810 2814
2811 2815 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2812 2816 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2813 2817 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2814 2818 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2815 2819
2816 2820 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2817 2821 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2818 2822 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2819 2823 fixes.
2820 2824
2821 2825 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2822 2826 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2823 2827 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2824 2828 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2825 2829 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2826 2830 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2827 2831 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2828 2832
2829 2833 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2830 2834
2831 2835 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2832 2836
2833 2837 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2834 2838 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2835 2839 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2836 2840 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2837 2841 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2838 2842 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2839 2843 Panel.
2840 2844
2841 2845 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2842 2846 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2843 2847 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2844 2848 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2845 2849 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2846 2850
2847 2851 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2848 2852
2849 2853 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2850 2854 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2851 2855
2852 2856 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2853 2857
2854 2858 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2855 2859
2856 2860 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2857 2861 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2858 2862 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2859 2863 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2860 2864 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2861 2865 python shell.
2862 2866
2863 2867 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2864 2868 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2865 2869 on assignments. This closes
2866 2870 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2867 2871 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2868 2872 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2869 2873
2870 2874 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2871 2875
2872 2876 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2873 2877 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2874 2878
2875 2879 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7

2878 2882
2879 2883 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2880 2884 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2881 2885
2882 2886 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2883 2887
2884 2888 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2885 2889 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2886 2890 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2887 2891
2888 2892 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2889 2893
2890 2894 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2891 2895 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2892 2896 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2893 2897
2894 2898 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2895 2899
2896 2900 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2897 2901 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2898 2902 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2899 2903
2900 2904 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2901 2905 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2902 2906 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2903 2907
2904 2908 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2905 2909
2906 2910 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2907 2911 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2908 2912
2909 2913 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2910 2914
2911 2915 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2912 2916 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2913 2917 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2914 2918
2915 2919 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2916 2920
2917 2921 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2918 2922 reported by Prabhu.
2919 2923 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2920 2924 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2921 2925 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2922 2926
2923 2927 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2924 2928 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2925 2929
2926 2930 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2927 2931 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2928 2932 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2929 2933 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2930 2934 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2931 2935 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.

2938 2942 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2939 2943 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2940 2944 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2941 2945
2942 2946 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2943 2947 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2944 2948
2945 2949 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2946 2950 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2947 2951 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2948 2952 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2949 2953 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2950 2954 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2951 2955 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2952 2956
2953 2957 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2954 2958 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2955 2959 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2956 2960
2957 2961 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2958 2962 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2959 2963 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2960 2964 before.
2961 2965
2962 2966 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2963 2967
2964 2968 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2965 2969 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2966 2970 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2967 2971 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2968 2972
2969 2973 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2970 2974 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2971 2975 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2972 2976 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2973 2977 timing very short-running code.
2974 2978
2975 2979 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2976 2980 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2977 2981 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2978 2982 utility.
2979 2983
2980 2984 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2981 2985 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2982 2986 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2983 2987 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2984 2988 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2985 2989 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2986 2990 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2987 2991 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2988 2992
2989 2993 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2990 2994 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2991 2995 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2992 2996
2993 2997 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2994 2998 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2995 2999 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2996 3000 is for).
2997 3001
2998 3002 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2999 3003 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3000 3004 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3001 3005 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3002 3006 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3003 3007
3004 3008 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3005 3009
3006 3010 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3007 3011 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3008 3012 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3009 3013 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3010 3014 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3011 3015
3012 3016 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3013 3017 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3014 3018 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3015 3019 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3016 3020 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3017 3021 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3018 3022
3019 3023 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3020 3024
3021 3025 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3022 3026 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3023 3027
3024 3028 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3025 3029
3026 3030 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3027 3031 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3028 3032 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3029 3033 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3030 3034
3031 3035 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3032 3036
3033 3037 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3034 3038
3035 3039 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3036 3040 setting with -d option.
3037 3041
3038 3042 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3039 3043 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3040 3044 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3041 3045 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3042 3046
3043 3047 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3044 3048
3045 3049 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3046 3050 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3047 3051
3048 3052 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3049 3053 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3050 3054 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3051 3055 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3052 3056 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3053 3057 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3054 3058 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3055 3059 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3056 3060 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3057 3061 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3058 3062 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3059 3063
3060 3064 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3061 3065
3062 3066 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3063 3067 cache when empty lines were present.
3064 3068
3065 3069 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3066 3070
3067 3071 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3068 3072 options for WX and GTK.
3069 3073
3070 3074 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3071 3075
3072 3076 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3073 3077 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3074 3078 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3075 3079 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3076 3080 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3077 3081 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3078 3082 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3079 3083
3080 3084 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3081 3085 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3082 3086
3083 3087 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3084 3088
3085 3089 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3086 3090 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3087 3091 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3088 3092 many thanks.
3089 3093
3090 3094 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3091 3095 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3092 3096 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3093 3097
3094 3098 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3095 3099
3096 3100 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3097 3101 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3098 3102 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3099 3103
3100 3104 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3101 3105
3102 3106 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3107
3104 3108 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3105 3109 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3106 3110 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3107 3111
3108 3112 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3113
3110 3114 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3111 3115 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3112 3116
3113 3117 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3114 3118
3115 3119 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3116 3120 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3117 3121 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3118 3122 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3119 3123 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3120 3124 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3121 3125 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3122 3126
3123 3127 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3124 3128
3125 3129 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3126 3130 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3127 3131 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3128 3132 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3129 3133
3130 3134 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3131 3135 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3132 3136
3133 3137 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3134 3138
3135 3139 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3136 3140 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3137 3141
3138 3142 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3139 3143 use throughout ipython.
3140 3144
3141 3145 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3142 3146 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3143 3147
3144 3148 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3145 3149 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3146 3150 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3147 3151 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3148 3152
3149 3153 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3150 3154
3151 3155 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3152 3156 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3153 3157 report by Francesc Alted.
3154 3158
3155 3159 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3156 3160
3157 3161 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3158 3162 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3159 3163
3160 3164 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3161 3165
3162 3166 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3163 3167 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3164 3168 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3165 3169 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3166 3170 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3167 3171 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3168 3172 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3169 3173 correctly set.
3170 3174
3171 3175 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3172 3176
3173 3177 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3174 3178 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3175 3179 import requirement of PEP-328.
3176 3180
3177 3181 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3178 3182 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3179 3183 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3180 3184 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3181 3185
3182 3186 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3183 3187
3184 3188 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3185 3189
3186 3190 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3187 3191 via a normal python function call.
3188 3192
3189 3193 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3190 3194 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3191 3195 2.4.
3192 3196
3193 3197 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3194 3198
3195 3199 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3196 3200 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3197 3201 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3198 3202 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3199 3203 is given to the user).
3200 3204
3201 3205 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3202 3206
3203 3207 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3204 3208 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3205 3209 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3206 3210 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3207 3211
3208 3212 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3209 3213 python 2.2.
3210 3214
3211 3215 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3212 3216 banner arg for embedded customization.
3213 3217
3214 3218 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3215 3219 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3216 3220 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3217 3221 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3218 3222 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3219 3223 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3220 3224
3221 3225 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3222 3226 minor changes to debian dir.
3223 3227
3224 3228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3225 3229 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3226 3230 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3227 3231 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3228 3232
3229 3233 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3230 3234
3231 3235 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3232 3236 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3233 3237 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3234 3238 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3235 3239 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3236 3240
3237 3241 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3238 3242
3239 3243 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3240 3244 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3241 3245
3242 3246 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3243 3247
3244 3248 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3245 3249 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3246 3250
3247 3251 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3248 3252
3249 3253 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3250 3254
3251 3255 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3252 3256 updated.
3253 3257
3254 3258 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3255 3259
3256 3260 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3257 3261 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3258 3262 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3259 3263 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3260 3264 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3261 3265
3262 3266 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3263 3267 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3264 3268 split regexp. Closes
3265 3269 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3266 3270 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3267 3271 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3268 3272 extensions.
3269 3273
3270 3274 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3271 3275 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3272 3276 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3273 3277 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3274 3278 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3275 3279
3276 3280 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3277 3281 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3278 3282 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3279 3283 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3280 3284
3281 3285 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3282 3286 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3283 3287
3284 3288 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3285 3289 fine-tune banner.
3286 3290
3287 3291 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3288 3292 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3289 3293
3290 3294 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3291 3295
3292 3296 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3293 3297 were missing.
3294 3298
3295 3299 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3296 3300 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3297 3301 valid at the command line.
3298 3302
3299 3303 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3300 3304 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3301 3305
3302 3306 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3307
3304 3308 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3305 3309 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3306 3310 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3307 3311
3308 3312 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3309 3313
3310 3314 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3311 3315 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3312 3316 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3313 3317 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3314 3318 continue to use the standard profiler.
3315 3319
3316 3320 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3317 3321
3318 3322 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3319 3323 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3320 3324 close.
3321 3325
3322 3326 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3323 3327
3324 3328 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3325 3329 in Magic and ultraTB.
3326 3330
3327 3331 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3328 3332
3329 3333 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3330 3334 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3331 3335 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3332 3336 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3333 3337
3334 3338 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3335 3339 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3336 3340 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3337 3341 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3338 3342 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3339 3343 infrastructure in place.
3340 3344
3341 3345 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3342 3346
3343 3347 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3344 3348
3345 3349 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3346 3350 the pylab profile.
3347 3351
3348 3352 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3349 3353
3350 3354 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3351 3355
3352 3356 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3353 3357 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3354 3358 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3355 3359 itself.
3356 3360
3357 3361 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3358 3362 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3359 3363 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3360 3364 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3361 3365 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3362 3366 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3363 3367 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3364 3368 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3365 3369
3366 3370 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3367 3371 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3368 3372
3369 3373 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3374
3371 3375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3372 3376 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3373 3377 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3374 3378
3375 3379 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3376 3380
3377 3381 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3378 3382 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3379 3383
3380 3384 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3385
3382 3386 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3383 3387
3384 3388 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3385 3389
3386 3390 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3387 3391
3388 3392 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3389 3393 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3390 3394 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3391 3395
3392 3396 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3393 3397
3394 3398 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3395 3399 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3396 3400 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3397 3401 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3398 3402 works.
3399 3403
3400 3404 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3401 3405 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3402 3406 practice.
3403 3407
3404 3408 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3409
3406 3410 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3407 3411 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3408 3412 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3409 3413
3410 3414 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3411 3415
3412 3416 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3413 3417 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3414 3418 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3415 3419 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3416 3420
3417 3421 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3418 3422
3419 3423 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3420 3424 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3421 3425 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3422 3426 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3423 3427
3424 3428 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3425 3429
3426 3430 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3427 3431
3428 3432 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3429 3433 fail for any number.
3430 3434 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3431 3435 empty bookmarks.
3432 3436
3433 3437 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3434 3438
3435 3439 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3436 3440
3437 3441 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3438 3442
3439 3443 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3440 3444 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3441 3445
3442 3446 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3443 3447 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3444 3448
3445 3449 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3446 3450
3447 3451 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3448 3452 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3449 3453 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3450 3454 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3451 3455 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3452 3456
3453 3457 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3454 3458
3455 3459 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3456 3460 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3457 3461
3458 3462 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3459 3463
3460 3464 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3461 3465 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3462 3466 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3463 3467 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3464 3468
3465 3469 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3466 3470 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3467 3471 Schmolck.
3468 3472
3469 3473 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3470 3474
3471 3475 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3472 3476
3473 3477 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3474 3478 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3475 3479
3476 3480 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3477 3481 optimizations.
3478 3482
3479 3483 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3480 3484 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3481 3485
3482 3486 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3483 3487 --Started changelog.
3484 3488 --make clear do what it say it does
3485 3489 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3486 3490 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3487 3491 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3488 3492 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3489 3493 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3490 3494 can be done for other cases.
3491 3495 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3492 3496 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3493 3497 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3494 3498
3495 3499 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3496 3500 --added logfile rotation
3497 3501 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3498 3502
3499 3503 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3500 3504 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3501 3505 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3502 3506 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3503 3507 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3504 3508 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3505 3509 --added global logfile option
3506 3510 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3507 3511 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3508 3512
3509 3513 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3510 3514 --added a README
3511 3515 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3512 3516 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3513 3517 bug or feature.
3514 3518 --changed rc file for new behavior
3515 3519
3516 3520 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3517 3521
3518 3522 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3519 3523 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3520 3524 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3521 3525
3522 3526 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3523 3527 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3524 3528
3525 3529 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3526 3530
3527 3531 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3528 3532 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3529 3533 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3530 3534 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3531 3535 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3532 3536 and prepended with a #.
3533 3537
3534 3538 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3535 3539 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3536 3540
3537 3541 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3538 3542
3539 3543 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3540 3544 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3541 3545
3542 3546 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3543 3547
3544 3548 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3545 3549 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3546 3550
3547 3551 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3548 3552
3549 3553 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3550 3554 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3551 3555 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3552 3556
3553 3557 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3554 3558
3555 3559 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3556 3560 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3557 3561
3558 3562 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3559 3563 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3560 3564 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3561 3565 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3562 3566 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3563 3567 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3564 3568 be implemented later).
3565 3569
3566 3570 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3567 3571 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3568 3572 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3569 3573 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3570 3574
3571 3575 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3572 3576 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3573 3577 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3574 3578
3575 3579 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3576 3580 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3577 3581
3578 3582 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3579 3583 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3580 3584 readline make it impossible to go further.
3581 3585
3582 3586 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3583 3587
3584 3588 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3585 3589 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3586 3590
3587 3591 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3588 3592
3589 3593 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3590 3594 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3591 3595 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3592 3596 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3593 3597
3594 3598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3595 3599 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3596 3600 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3597 3601 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3598 3602
3599 3603 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3600 3604 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3601 3605 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3602 3606 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3603 3607 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3604 3608 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3605 3609 problem.
3606 3610
3607 3611 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3608 3612 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3609 3613
3610 3614 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3611 3615 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3612 3616 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3613 3617
3614 3618 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3615 3619
3616 3620 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3617 3621 continue prompts.
3618 3622
3619 3623 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3620 3624 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3621 3625 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3622 3626 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3623 3627 byte-compilation saves time.
3624 3628
3625 3629 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3626 3630
3627 3631 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3628 3632 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3629 3633
3630 3634 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3631 3635 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3632 3636
3633 3637 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3634 3638 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3635 3639 common cases where it's a problem.
3636 3640
3637 3641 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3638 3642
3639 3643 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3640 3644 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3641 3645 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3642 3646 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3643 3647 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3644 3648 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3645 3649
3646 3650 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3647 3651
3648 3652 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3649 3653 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3650 3654
3651 3655 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3652 3656 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3653 3657 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3654 3658 structure as win_exec_ext.
3655 3659
3656 3660 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3657 3661 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3658 3662
3659 3663 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3660 3664 delete aliases.
3661 3665
3662 3666 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3663 3667 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3664 3668
3665 3669 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3670
3667 3671 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3668 3672 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3669 3673
3670 3674 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3671 3675
3672 3676 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3673 3677 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3674 3678
3675 3679 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3676 3680 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3677 3681
3678 3682 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3679 3683 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3680 3684 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3681 3685 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3682 3686 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3683 3687 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3684 3688
3685 3689 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3686 3690 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3687 3691 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3688 3692
3689 3693 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3690 3694 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3691 3695 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3692 3696
3693 3697 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3694 3698 via an extra $. For example:
3695 3699
3696 3700 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3697 3701
3698 3702 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3699 3703 a python variable
3700 3704
3701 3705 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3702 3706 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3703 3707
3704 3708 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3705 3709 things prematurely.
3706 3710
3707 3711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3708 3712 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3709 3713
3710 3714 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3711 3715 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3712 3716 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3713 3717 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3714 3718 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3715 3719 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3716 3720 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3717 3721 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3718 3722
3719 3723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3720 3724 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3721 3725 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3722 3726 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3723 3727 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3724 3728 with the old system).
3725 3729
3726 3730 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3727 3731
3728 3732 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3729 3733 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3730 3734
3731 3735 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3732 3736 call to eval.
3733 3737 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3734 3738 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3735 3739 in.
3736 3740
3737 3741 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3738 3742
3739 3743 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3740 3744 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3741 3745 confusion).
3742 3746
3743 3747 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3744 3748 check for Windows users.
3745 3749
3746 3750 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3747 3751 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3748 3752 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3749 3753 download it.
3750 3754
3751 3755 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3752 3756
3753 3757 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3754 3758 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3755 3759 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3756 3760 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3757 3761 of IDLE's out).
3758 3762
3759 3763 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3760 3764 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3761 3765 eventually.
3762 3766 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3763 3767
3764 3768 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3769
3766 3770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3767 3771 list of auto-defined aliases.
3768 3772
3769 3773 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3770 3774
3771 3775 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3772 3776 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3773 3777 things under Windows).
3774 3778
3775 3779 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3776 3780
3777 3781 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3778 3782 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3779 3783 reported by Thorsten.
3780 3784
3781 3785 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3782 3786
3783 3787 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3784 3788 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3785 3789 for all examples and the manual as well.
3786 3790
3787 3791 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3788 3792
3789 3793 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3790 3794 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3791 3795 inherit from BasePrompt.
3792 3796
3793 3797 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3794 3798 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3795 3799
3796 3800 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3797 3801 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3798 3802 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3799 3803 defaults.
3800 3804 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3801 3805 this fix manually!
3802 3806
3803 3807 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3804 3808 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3805 3809 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3806 3810 distutils).
3807 3811
3808 3812 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3809 3813 usage of new '\D' escape.
3810 3814
3811 3815 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3812 3816 lacks os.getuid())
3813 3817 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3814 3818 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3815 3819 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3816 3820 handling mechanism.
3817 3821 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3818 3822 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3819 3823 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3820 3824 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3821 3825 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3822 3826 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3823 3827 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3824 3828
3825 3829 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3826 3830
3827 3831 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3828 3832 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3829 3833 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3830 3834
3831 3835 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3832 3836 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3833 3837 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3834 3838 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3835 3839 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3836 3840 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3837 3841 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3838 3842 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3839 3843
3840 3844 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3841 3845 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3842 3846 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3843 3847 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3844 3848 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3845 3849 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3846 3850 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3847 3851 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3848 3852
3849 3853 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3850 3854 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3851 3855 functions uniform.
3852 3856 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3853 3857
3854 3858 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3855 3859 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3856 3860 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3857 3861 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3858 3862 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3859 3863 use to parse their options.
3860 3864
3861 3865 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3862 3866 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3863 3867 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3864 3868
3865 3869 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3866 3870 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3867 3871 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3868 3872 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3869 3873 via the prompt_specials.
3870 3874
3871 3875 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3872 3876
3873 3877 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3874 3878 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3875 3879 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3876 3880 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3877 3881 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3878 3882 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3879 3883 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3880 3884 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3881 3885
3882 3886 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3883 3887
3884 3888 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3885 3889 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3886 3890 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3887 3891
3888 3892 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3889 3893
3890 3894 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3891 3895 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3892 3896
3893 3897 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3894 3898
3895 3899 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3896 3900 parens would get passed to the shell.
3897 3901
3898 3902 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3899 3903
3900 3904 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3901 3905 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3902 3906
3903 3907 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3904 3908 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3905 3909 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3906 3910 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3907 3911 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3908 3912
3909 3913 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3910 3914 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3911 3915 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3912 3916 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3913 3917
3914 3918 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3915 3919
3916 3920 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3917 3921
3918 3922 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3919 3923 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3920 3924 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3921 3925
3922 3926 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3923 3927 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3924 3928 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3925 3929 official documentation.
3926 3930
3927 3931 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3928 3932
3929 3933 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3930 3934 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3931 3935 explicit filename.
3932 3936
3933 3937 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3934 3938
3935 3939 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3936 3940 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3937 3941 case.
3938 3942
3939 3943 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3940 3944 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3941 3945 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3942 3946
3943 3947 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3944 3948
3945 3949 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3946 3950
3947 3951 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3948 3952 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3949 3953 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3950 3954 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3951 3955 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3952 3956 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3953 3957 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3954 3958 any changes to python proper.
3955 3959
3956 3960 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3957 3961 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3958 3962 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3959 3963 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3960 3964 Schmolck.
3961 3965
3962 3966 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3963 3967
3964 3968 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3965 3969 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3966 3970 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3967 3971 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3968 3972
3969 3973 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3970 3974
3971 3975 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3972 3976 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3973 3977 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3974 3978 name).
3975 3979
3976 3980 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3977 3981 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3978 3982 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3979 3983 Francois Pinard.
3980 3984
3981 3985 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3982 3986
3983 3987 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3984 3988 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3985 3989 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3986 3990 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3987 3991 not work.
3988 3992
3989 3993 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3990 3994
3991 3995 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3992 3996 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3993 3997 distinguishes stdout/err.
3994 3998
3995 3999 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3996 4000 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3997 4001 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3998 4002 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3999 4003 the standard library.
4000 4004
4001 4005 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4002 4006 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4003 4007
4004 4008 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4005 4009 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4006 4010
4007 4011 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4008 4012
4009 4013 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4010 4014 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4011 4015 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4012 4016 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4013 4017 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4014 4018 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...

4017 4021
4018 4022 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4019 4023 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4020 4024 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4021 4025 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.

4023 4027 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4024 4028
4025 4029 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4026 4030 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4027 4031 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4028 4032 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4029 4033
4030 4034 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4035
4032 4036 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4033 4037 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4034 4038 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4035 4039 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4036 4040 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4037 4041 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4038 4042 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4039 4043 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4040 4044
4041 4045 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4042 4046
4043 4047 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4044 4048 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4045 4049
4046 4050 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4051
4048 4052 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4049 4053 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4050 4054 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4051 4055 very short.
4052 4056
4053 4057 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4054 4058
4055 4059 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4056 4060 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4057 4061 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4058 4062 this before making it permanent.
4059 4063
4060 4064 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4061 4065 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4062 4066 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4063 4067 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.

4065 4069 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4066 4070
4067 4071 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4068 4072 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4069 4073
4070 4074 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4071 4075
4072 4076 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4073 4077 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4074 4078 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4075 4079 cases I've missed.
4076 4080
4077 4081 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4078 4082
4079 4083 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4080 4084 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4081 4085 system would be triggered for @p.
4082 4086
4083 4087 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4084 4088 cleanups, code unmodified.
4085 4089
4086 4090 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4087 4091 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4088 4092 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4089 4093 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4090 4094 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4091 4095 The actual changes affect many files.
4092 4096
4093 4097 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4098
4095 4099 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4096 4100 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4097 4101 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4098 4102
4099 4103 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4100 4104
4101 4105 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4102 4106 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4103 4107
4104 4108 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4105 4109
4106 4110 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4107 4111 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4108 4112 numpy list.
4109 4113
4110 4114 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4111 4115
4112 4116 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4113 4117 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4114 4118 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4115 4119 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4116 4120
4117 4121 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4118 4122
4119 4123 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4120 4124 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4121 4125 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4122 4126 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4123 4127
4124 4128 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4125 4129 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4126 4130
4127 4131 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4128 4132
4129 4133 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4130 4134 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4131 4135 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4132 4136 Collins.
4133 4137
4134 4138 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4135 4139
4136 4140 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4141
4138 4142 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4139 4143 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4140 4144 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4141 4145
4142 4146 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4143 4147
4144 4148 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4145 4149 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4146 4150 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4147 4151 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4148 4152
4149 4153 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4150 4154 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4151 4155 __getitem__ and __call__.
4152 4156
4153 4157 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4154 4158
4155 4159 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4156 4160
4157 4161 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4158 4162 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4159 4163 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4160 4164 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4161 4165
4162 4166 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4163 4167 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4164 4168 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4165 4169 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4166 4170 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4167 4171 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4168 4172 necessary.
4169 4173
4170 4174 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4171 4175 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4172 4176 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4173 4177
4174 4178 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4175 4179 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4176 4180 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4177 4181 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4178 4182
4179 4183 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4180 4184 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4181 4185 generators.
4182 4186
4183 4187 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4184 4188 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4185 4189 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4186 4190 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4187 4191 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4188 4192 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4189 4193 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4190 4194
4191 4195 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4192 4196 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4193 4197 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4194 4198 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4195 4199 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4196 4200
4197 4201 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4198 4202 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4199 4203 edit under some circumstances.
4200 4204 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4201 4205 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4202 4206 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4203 4207 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4204 4208 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4205 4209 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4206 4210 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4207 4211 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4208 4212 need more testing.
4209 4213
4210 4214 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4215
4212 4216 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4213 4217 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4214 4218 and simpler code.
4215 4219
4216 4220 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4217 4221
4218 4222 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4219 4223 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4220 4224 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4221 4225 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4222 4226 even if they were contiguous.
4223 4227 (l1norm): Added this function.
4224 4228 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4225 4229 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4226 4230 and speed.
4227 4231
4228 4232 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4233
4230 4234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4231 4235 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4232 4236 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4233 4237
4234 4238 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4235 4239
4236 4240 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4237 4241 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4238 4242 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4239 4243
4240 4244 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4241 4245 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4242 4246 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4243 4247
4244 4248 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4245 4249
4246 4250 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4247 4251 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4248 4252 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4249 4253 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4250 4254 activity.
4251 4255
4252 4256 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4253 4257
4254 4258 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4255 4259 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4256 4260 Numeric.identity)
4257 4261
4258 4262 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4259 4263
4260 4264 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4261 4265 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4262 4266 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4263 4267
4264 4268 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4265 4269
4266 4270 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4267 4271 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4268 4272 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4269 4273 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4270 4274
4271 4275 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4272 4276 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4273 4277 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4274 4278 is implemented).
4275 4279
4276 4280 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4277 4281
4278 4282 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4279 4283 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4280 4284 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4281 4285
4282 4286 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4283 4287 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4284 4288 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4285 4289 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4286 4290 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4287 4291
4288 4292 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4289 4293
4290 4294 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4295
4292 4296 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4293 4297 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4294 4298 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4295 4299
4296 4300 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4297 4301
4298 4302 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4299 4303 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4300 4304 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4301 4305
4302 4306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4303 4307 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4304 4308 crash report from Prabhu.
4305 4309
4306 4310 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4307 4311
4308 4312 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4309 4313 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4310 4314 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4311 4315 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4312 4316 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4313 4317 also be useful in other cases.
4314 4318
4315 4319 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4316 4320 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4317 4321 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4318 4322
4319 4323 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4320 4324
4321 4325 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4322 4326
4323 4327 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4324 4328 installing for a new user under Windows.
4325 4329
4326 4330 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4327 4331
4328 4332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4329 4333 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4330 4334 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4331 4335 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4332 4336 there.
4333 4337
4334 4338 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4335 4339 info to crash reports.
4336 4340
4337 4341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4338 4342 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4339 4343 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4340 4344 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4341 4345
4342 4346 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4343 4347
4344 4348 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4345 4349 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4346 4350 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4347 4351 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4348 4352
4349 4353 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4350 4354
4351 4355 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4352 4356 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4353 4357
4354 4358 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4355 4359
4356 4360 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4357 4361 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4358 4362
4359 4363 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4

4361 4365 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4362 4366
4363 4367 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4364 4368 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4365 4369 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4366 4370
4367 4371 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4368 4372 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4369 4373 with the new auto-indent option.
4370 4374
4371 4375 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4376
4373 4377 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4374 4378 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4375 4379 this class from the main Shell class.
4376 4380
4377 4381 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4378 4382 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4379 4383 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4380 4384 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4381 4385 option).
4382 4386
4383 4387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4384 4388 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4385 4389 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4386 4390 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4387 4391 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4388 4392
4389 4393 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4390 4394 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4391 4395 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4392 4396
4393 4397 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4394 4398 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4395 4399 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4396 4400 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4397 4401 tracebacks.
4398 4402
4399 4403 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4400 4404 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4401 4405 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4402 4406
4403 4407 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4404 4408
4405 4409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4406 4410 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4407 4411 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4408 4412 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4409 4413
4410 4414 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4411 4415
4412 4416 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4413 4417 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4414 4418 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4415 4419 for the bug report.
4416 4420
4417 4421 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4418 4422
4419 4423 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4420 4424 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4421 4425 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4422 4426 report.
4423 4427
4424 4428 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4425 4429
4426 4430 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4427 4431 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4428 4432 end).
4429 4433
4430 4434 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4431 4435 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4432 4436 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4433 4437
4434 4438 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4435 4439
4436 4440 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4437 4441 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4438 4442 for the patch.
4439 4443
4440 4444 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4441 4445
4442 4446 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4443 4447 functions.
4444 4448
4445 4449 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4447 4451 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4448 4452
4449 4453 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4450 4454 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4451 4455 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4452 4456 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4453 4457 private fix.
4454 4458
4455 4459 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4456 4460 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4457 4461 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4458 4462 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4459 4463 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4460 4464 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4461 4465 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4462 4466 fixed for this setup.
4463 4467
4464 4468 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4465 4469 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4466 4470
4467 4471 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4468 4472
4469 4473 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4470 4474
4471 4475 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4472 4476 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4473 4477 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4474 4478 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4475 4479 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4476 4480 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4477 4481 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4478 4482 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4479 4483 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4480 4484
4481 4485 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4482 4486 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4483 4487 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4484 4488
4485 4489 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4486 4490
4487 4491 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4488 4492
4489 4493 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4490 4494 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4491 4495 pickle-related issue in @run).
4492 4496
4493 4497 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4494 4498
4495 4499 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4496 4500 the autocall option at runtime.
4497 4501 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4498 4502 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4499 4503 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4500 4504 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4501 4505 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4502 4506 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4503 4507 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4504 4508 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4505 4509 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4506 4510 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4507 4511 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4508 4512 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4509 4513 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4510 4514 pickles to save something sensible.
4511 4515
4512 4516 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4513 4517
4514 4518 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4515 4519 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4516 4520 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4517 4521
4518 4522 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4519 4523
4520 4524 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4521 4525 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4522 4526
4523 4527 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4524 4528
4525 4529 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4526 4530 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4527 4531 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4528 4532 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4529 4533
4530 4534 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4531 4535
4532 4536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4533 4537 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4534 4538 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4535 4539 array is non-contiguous.
4536 4540
4537 4541 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4538 4542
4539 4543 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4540 4544 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4541 4545 executed).
4542 4546 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4543 4547 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4544 4548 output.
4545 4549 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4546 4550 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4547 4551 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4548 4552 changing.
4549 4553
4550 4554 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4551 4555
4552 4556 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4557
4554 4558 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4555 4559 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4556 4560 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4557 4561 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4558 4562 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4559 4563 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4560 4564 like a normal command-line.
4561 4565
4562 4566 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4563 4567 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4564 4568 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4565 4569 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4566 4570
4567 4571 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4568 4572
4569 4573 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4570 4574 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4571 4575 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4572 4576 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4573 4577
4574 4578 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4575 4579
4576 4580 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4577 4581 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4578 4582 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4579 4583 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4580 4584 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4581 4585 think it's worth doing.

4585 4589 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4586 4590
4587 4591 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4588 4592 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4589 4593
4590 4594 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4591 4595 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4592 4596 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4593 4597 also work ok.

4597 4601 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4602
4599 4603 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4600 4604
4601 4605 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4602 4606 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4603 4607 of gnuplot data files.
4604 4608
4605 4609 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4606 4610
4607 4611 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4608 4612 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4609 4613
4610 4614 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4611 4615
4612 4616 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4613 4617 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4614 4618 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4615 4619 for pointing this out.
4616 4620
4617 4621 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4618 4622
4619 4623 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4620 4624
4621 4625 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4622 4626 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4623 4627 Interactive.
4624 4628
4625 4629 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4626 4630 being imported from iplib.
4627 4631
4628 4632 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4629 4633 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4630 4634 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4631 4635 common name.
4632 4636
4633 4637 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4634 4638 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4635 4639
4636 4640 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4637 4641 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4638 4642
4639 4643 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4640 4644 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4641 4645 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4642 4646 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4643 4647 docstrings).
4644 4648
4645 4649 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4646 4650
4647 4651 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4648 4652 (inconsistent with options).
4649 4653
4650 4654 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4651 4655 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4652 4656 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4653 4657 eps output.
4654 4658
4655 4659 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4656 4660
4657 4661 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4658 4662 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4659 4663 Pinard.
4660 4664
4661 4665 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4666
4663 4667 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4664 4668 history file for new users.
4665 4669 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4666 4670 user running in the .ipython dir.
4667 4671 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4668 4672 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4669 4673 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4670 4674
4671 4675 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4672 4676 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4673 4677 consistently.
4674 4678
4675 4679 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4676 4680 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4677 4681 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4678 4682 libraries I don't have access to.
4679 4683
4680 4684 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4681 4685 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4682 4686 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4683 4687 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4684 4688 report.
4685 4689
4686 4690 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4687 4691
4688 4692 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4689 4693 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4690 4694 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4691 4695 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4692 4696
4693 4697 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4698
4695 4699 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4696 4700 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4697 4701 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4698 4702 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4699 4703 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4700 4704 instance has been created.
4701 4705
4702 4706 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4703 4707 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4704 4708 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4705 4709 dict by hand.
4706 4710
4707 4711 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4708 4712
4709 4713 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4710 4714 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4711 4715 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4712 4716 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4713 4717 broken.
4714 4718
4715 4719 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4716 4720 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4717 4721 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4718 4722 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4719 4723
4720 4724 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4721 4725 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4722 4726 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4723 4727 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4724 4728 is a valid one.
4725 4729
4726 4730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4727 4731 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4728 4732 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4729 4733
4730 4734 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4731 4735 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4732 4736 simply leftover junk.
4733 4737
4734 4738 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4735 4739
4736 4740 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4737 4741 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4738 4742 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4739 4743
4740 4744 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4741 4745 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4742 4746 exceptions.
4743 4747
4744 4748 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4745 4749
4746 4750 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4747 4751 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4748 4752 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4749 4753 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4750 4754 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4751 4755
4752 4756 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4753 4757 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4754 4758
4755 4759 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4756 4760 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4757 4761 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4758 4762 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4759 4763 problem mentioned below.
4760 4764
4761 4765 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4762 4766
4763 4767 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4764 4768 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4765 4769
4766 4770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4767 4771 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4768 4772 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4769 4773 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4770 4774 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4771 4775
4772 4776 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4773 4777 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4774 4778 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4775 4779 actual function names.
4776 4780
4777 4781 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4778 4782 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4779 4783 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4780 4784 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4781 4785 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4782 4786 really be only function/method names.
4783 4787
4784 4788 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4785 4789
4786 4790 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4787 4791 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4788 4792 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4789 4793
4790 4794 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4791 4795
4792 4796 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4793 4797 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4794 4798 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4795 4799
4796 4800 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4797 4801 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4798 4802
4799 4803 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4800 4804 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4801 4805 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4802 4806
4803 4807 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4804 4808 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4805 4809 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4806 4810
4807 4811 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4808 4812 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4809 4813 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4810 4814
4811 4815 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4812 4816
4813 4817 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4814 4818 Gnuplot.File objects.
4815 4819
4816 4820 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4817 4821
4818 4822 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4819 4823 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4820 4824 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4821 4825
4822 4826 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4823 4827
4824 4828 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4825 4829 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4826 4830
4827 4831 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4828 4832 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4829 4833
4830 4834 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4831 4835 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4832 4836
4833 4837 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4834 4838
4835 4839 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4836 4840 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4837 4841 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4838 4842 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4839 4843
4840 4844 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4841 4845
4842 4846 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4843 4847 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4844 4848 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4845 4849
4846 4850 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4847 4851
4848 4852 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4849 4853 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4850 4854 workaround).
4851 4855
4852 4856 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4853 4857
4854 4858 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4855 4859 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4856 4860
4857 4861 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4858 4862
4859 4863 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4860 4864 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4861 4865
4862 4866 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4863 4867 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4864 4868 .strip() is called on it.
4865 4869
4866 4870
4867 4871 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4868 4872
4869 4873 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4870 4874 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4871 4875 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4872 4876
4873 4877 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4874 4878 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4875 4879
4876 4880 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4877 4881 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4878 4882 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4879 4883
4880 4884 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4885
4882 4886 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4883 4887 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4884 4888 __main__.
4885 4889
4886 4890 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4887 4891 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4888 4892
4889 4893 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4890 4894 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4891 4895 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4892 4896 Mathematica behaves.
4893 4897
4894 4898 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4895 4899
4896 4900 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4897 4901 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4898 4902
4899 4903 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4900 4904 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4901 4905 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4902 4906
4903 4907 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4904 4908 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4905 4909
4906 4910 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4907 4911
4908 4912 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4909 4913 underflow problems in Numeric.
4910 4914 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4911 4915 for exact integer powers of 2.
4912 4916
4913 4917 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4914 4918 properly.
4915 4919
4916 4920 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4921
4918 4922 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4919 4923 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4920 4924
4921 4925 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4922 4926
4923 4927 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4924 4928 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4925 4929
4926 4930 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4927 4931
4928 4932 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4929 4933 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4930 4934 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4931 4935 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4932 4936 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4933 4937 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4934 4938 times).
4935 4939
4936 4940 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4937 4941 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4938 4942 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4939 4943
4940 4944 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4941 4945
4942 4946 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4943 4947 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4944 4948 embedded code.
4945 4949
4946 4950 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4947 4951 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4948 4952 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4949 4953
4950 4954 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4951 4955 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4952 4956 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4953 4957 less special-casing to remember.
4954 4958
4955 4959 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4956 4960
4957 4961 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4958 4962 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4959 4963 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4960 4964 arg is not a defined object.
4961 4965 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4962 4966 a Mike Heeter idea.
4963 4967
4964 4968 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4965 4969 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4966 4970 interactive use.
4967 4971
4968 4972 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4969 4973 filenames.
4970 4974
4971 4975 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4972 4976
4973 4977 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4974 4978 initialization via another struct.
4975 4979
4976 4980 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4977 4981 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4978 4982
4979 4983 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4980 4984
4981 4985 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4982 4986 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4983 4987 too big).
4984 4988
4985 4989 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4986 4990
4987 4991 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4988 4992 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4989 4993 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4990 4994 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4991 4995
4992 4996 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4993 4997
4994 4998 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4995 4999 macros having broken.
4996 5000
4997 5001 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4998 5002
4999 5003 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5000 5004 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5001 5005 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5002 5006 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5003 5007 not to lists.
5004 5008
5005 5009 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5006 5010
5007 5011 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5008 5012 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5009 5013 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5010 5014
5011 5015 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5012 5016 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5013 5017
5014 5018 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5015 5019 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5016 5020 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5017 5021
5018 5022 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5019 5023 triple-quoted strings.
5020 5024
5021 5025 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5022 5026 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5023 5027 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5024 5028 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5025 5029 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5026 5030 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5027 5031
5028 5032 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5029 5033
5030 5034 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5031 5035 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5032 5036 ultraTB).
5033 5037
5034 5038 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5035 5039
5036 5040 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5037 5041 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5038 5042 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5039 5043 user's 'g' variables).
5040 5044
5041 5045 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5042 5046 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5043 5047 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5044 5048 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5045 5049 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5046 5050 macros.
5047 5051
5048 5052 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5049 5053
5050 5054 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5051 5055 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5052 5056
5053 5057 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5054 5058 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5055 5059 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5056 5060
5057 5061 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5058 5062
5059 5063 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5060 5064 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5061 5065 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5062 5066 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5063 5067 aliases.
5064 5068
5065 5069 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5066 5070
5067 5071 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5068 5072 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5069 5073 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5070 5074 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5071 5075
5072 5076 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5073 5077
5074 5078 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5075 5079 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5076 5080 user-defined functions overrode them.
5077 5081
5078 5082 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5079 5083
5080 5084 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5081 5085 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5082 5086
5083 5087 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5084 5088
5085 5089 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5086 5090 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5087 5091 IPython.
5088 5092
5089 5093 * Released 0.2.13
5090 5094
5091 5095 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5092 5096 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5093 5097 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5094 5098 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5095 5099
5096 5100 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5097 5101
5098 5102 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5099 5103 magic properly formatted for screen.
5100 5104
5101 5105 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5102 5106 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5103 5107
5104 5108 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5105 5109 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5106 5110 etc.)
5107 5111
5108 5112 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5109 5113
5110 5114 * Released 0.2.12
5111 5115
5112 5116 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5113 5117
5114 5118 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5115 5119 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5116 5120 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5117 5121 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5118 5122 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5119 5123 an alias to @run -i.
5120 5124
5121 5125 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5122 5126 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5123 5127
5124 5128 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5125 5129
5126 5130 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5127 5131 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5128 5132 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5129 5133
5130 5134 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5131 5135 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5132 5136 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5133 5137 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5134 5138 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5135 5139 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5136 5140 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5137 5141
5138 5142 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5139 5143
5140 5144 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5141 5145 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5142 5146 printed).
5143 5147
5144 5148 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5145 5149 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5146 5150 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5147 5151
5148 5152 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5149 5153 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5150 5154
5151 5155 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5152 5156 handle magic commands in them.
5153 5157 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5154 5158 ~/mylog' now works.
5155 5159
5156 5160 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5157 5161 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5158 5162
5159 5163 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5160 5164
5161 5165 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5162 5166 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5163 5167
5164 5168 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5165 5169 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5166 5170 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5167 5171 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5168 5172 variables are in the context of an exception.
5169 5173 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5170 5174 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5171 5175
5172 5176 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5173 5177 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5174 5178
5175 5179 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5176 5180
5177 5181 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5178 5182 magics can parse options easier.
5179 5183 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5180 5184 suggested by Chris Hart.
5181 5185 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5182 5186 directory actually is in history.
5183 5187
5184 5188 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5185 5189 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5186 5190 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5187 5191
5188 5192 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5189 5193 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5190 5194 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5191 5195 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5192 5196
5193 5197 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5194 5198
5195 5199 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5196 5200 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5197 5201
5198 5202 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5199 5203 text (was a bug).
5200 5204
5201 5205 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5202 5206
5203 5207 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5204 5208 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5205 5209 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5206 5210
5207 5211 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5208 5212
5209 5213 * Released 0.2.10
5210 5214
5211 5215 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5212 5216
5213 5217 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5214 5218 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5215 5219
5216 5220 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5217 5221
5218 5222 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5219 5223 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5220 5224
5221 5225 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5222 5226
5223 5227 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5224 5228 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5225 5229 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5226 5230 __init__.py)
5227 5231
5228 5232 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5229 5233
5230 5234 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5231 5235 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5232 5236 test for being inside IPython.
5233 5237
5234 5238 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5235 5239 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5236 5240 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5237 5241 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5238 5242
5239 5243 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5244
5241 5245 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5242 5246 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5243 5247 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5244 5248
5245 5249 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5246 5250 embedding example to standard user directory for
5247 5251 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5248 5252
5249 5253 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5250 5254 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5251 5255 hidden global).
5252 5256
5253 5257 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5254 5258 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5255 5259 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5256 5260 case.
5257 5261
5258 5262 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5259 5263
5260 5264 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5261 5265 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5262 5266 start.
5263 5267
5264 5268 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5265 5269 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5266 5270 Numeric or math.
5267 5271
5268 5272 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5269 5273 provided profiles. Now we have:
5270 5274 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5271 5275 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5272 5276 -physics -> same as before
5273 5277
5274 5278 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5275 5279 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5276 5280 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5277 5281 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5278 5282 string adds).
5279 5283
5280 5284 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5281 5285 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5282 5286 line with the gnuplot code).
5283 5287
5284 5288 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5285 5289
5286 5290 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5287 5291 all included files change.
5288 5292
5289 5293 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5290 5294 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5291 5295
5292 5296 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5293 5297 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5294 5298 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5295 5299
5296 5300 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5297 5301 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5298 5302
5299 5303 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5300 5304 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5301 5305
5302 5306 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5303 5307 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5304 5308 now accessible.
5305 5309
5306 5310 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5307 5311 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5308 5312 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5309 5313 removed.
5310 5314 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5311 5315 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5312 5316 don't crash.
5313 5317 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5314 5318 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5315 5319 remains available.
5316 5320
5317 5321 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5318 5322
5319 5323 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5320 5324
5321 5325 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5322 5326
5323 5327 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5324 5328 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5325 5329 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5326 5330 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5327 5331
5328 5332 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5329 5333
5330 5334 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5331 5335 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5332 5336 sync with the output counter.
5333 5337
5334 5338 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5335 5339 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5336 5340
5337 5341 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5338 5342
5339 5343 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5340 5344 readline, fix it back after each call.
5341 5345
5342 5346 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5343 5347 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5344 5348 traceback references are properly deleted.
5345 5349
5346 5350 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5347 5351 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5348 5352
5349 5353 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5350 5354
5351 5355 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5352 5356 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5353 5357 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5354 5358 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5355 5359 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5356 5360 to catch SystemExit).
5357 5361
5358 5362 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5359 5363 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5360 5364 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5361 5365 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5362 5366 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5363 5367 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5364 5368
5365 5369 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5366 5370
5367 5371 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5368 5372 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5369 5373 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5370 5374
5371 5375 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5372 5376 configurable (it should have always been so).
5373 5377
5374 5378 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5375 5379
5376 5380 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5377 5381 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5378 5382 done in a more elegant way.
5379 5383
5380 5384 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5381 5385
5382 5386 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5383 5387 win9x also.
5384 5388
5385 5389 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5386 5390
5387 5391 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5388 5392 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5389 5393
5390 5394 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5391 5395
5392 5396 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5393 5397
5394 5398 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5395 5399 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5396 5400
5397 5401 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5398 5402 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5399 5403
5400 5404 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5401 5405 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5402 5406
5403 5407 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5404 5408 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5405 5409
5406 5410 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5407 5411
5408 5412 * Released 0.2.8
5409 5413
5410 5414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5411 5415 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5412 5416 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5413 5417 on' so that the first tab completes.
5414 5418 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5415 5419 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5416 5420
5417 5421 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5418 5422 installation.
5419 5423
5420 5424 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5421 5425 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5422 5426
5423 5427 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5424 5428
5425 5429 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5426 5430 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5427 5431 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5428 5432
5429 5433 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5430 5434 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5431 5435
5432 5436 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5433 5437 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5434 5438 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5435 5439 suggestion.
5436 5440
5437 5441 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5438 5442 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5439 5443 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5440 5444
5441 5445 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5442 5446 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5443 5447
5444 5448 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5445 5449
5446 5450 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5447 5451 which properly handles things for windows users.

5449 5453 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5450 5454
5451 5455 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5452 5456 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5453 5457 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5454 5458 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5455 5459 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5456 5460
5457 5461 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5458 5462
5459 5463 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5460 5464
5461 5465 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5462 5466 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5463 5467
5464 5468 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5465 5469
5466 5470 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5467 5471 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5468 5472 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5469 5473 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5470 5474 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5471 5475 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5472 5476
5473 5477 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5474 5478
5475 5479 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5476 5480 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5477 5481
5478 5482 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5479 5483 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5480 5484 cache at 20 values.
5481 5485
5482 5486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5483 5487 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5484 5488 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5485 5489 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5486 5490
5487 5491 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5488 5492 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5489 5493 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5490 5494 'file show').
5491 5495
5492 5496 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5493 5497 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5494 5498
5495 5499 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5496 5500 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5497 5501 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5498 5502
5499 5503 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5500 5504 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5501 5505 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5502 5506 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5503 5507
5504 5508 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5505 5509 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5506 5510 the prompt strings.
5507 5511
5508 5512 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5509 5513
5510 5514 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5511 5515 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5512 5516
5513 5517 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5514 5518 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5515 5519 either globally or at each call.
5516 5520
5517 5521 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5518 5522 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5519 5523 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5520 5524 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5521 5525
5522 5526 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5523 5527
5524 5528 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5525 5529 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5526 5530
5527 5531 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5528 5532
5529 5533 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5530 5534 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5531 5535 learning some lisp...
5532 5536
5533 5537 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5534 5538
5535 5539 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5536 5540 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5537 5541 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5538 5542 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5539 5543
5540 5544 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5541 5545 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5542 5546 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5543 5547
5544 5548 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5545 5549
5546 5550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5547 5551 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5548 5552 control to emacs users.
5549 5553
5550 5554 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5551 5555 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5552 5556 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5553 5557 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5554 5558 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5555 5559 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5556 5560
5557 5561 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5558 5562
5559 5563 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5560 5564
5561 5565 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5562 5566 @logstate magic was created.
5563 5567
5564 5568 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5565 5569 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5566 5570
5567 5571 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5568 5572
5569 5573 * Released 0.2.6.
5570 5574
5571 5575 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5572 5576 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5573 5577
5574 5578 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5575 5579 SciPy.
5576 5580
5577 5581 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5578 5582 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5579 5583 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5580 5584 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5581 5585 the section on embedding and the example file.
5582 5586
5583 5587 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5584 5588 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5585 5589 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5586 5590
5587 5591 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5588 5592 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5589 5593 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5590 5594
5591 5595 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5592 5596 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5593 5597 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5594 5598 for this to work.
5595 5599
5596 5600 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5597 5601
5598 5602 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5599 5603 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5600 5604 well inside Emacs buffers.
5601 5605 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5602 5606 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5603 5607 same bug in iplib.
5604 5608
5605 5609 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5606 5610
5607 5611 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5608 5612 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5609 5613
5610 5614 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5611 5615 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5612 5616 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5613 5617
5614 5618 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5615 5619 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5616 5620 display is done.
5617 5621
5618 5622 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5619 5623 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5620 5624
5621 5625 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5622 5626 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5623 5627 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5624 5628 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5625 5629 like in Octave.
5626 5630
5627 5631 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5628 5632 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5629 5633
5630 5634 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5631 5635
5632 5636 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5633 5637 whole file a little.
5634 5638
5635 5639 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5636 5640 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5637 5641 end-user distro.
5638 5642
5639 5643 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5640 5644 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5641 5645 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5642 5646
5643 5647 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5644 5648 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5645 5649
5646 5650 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5647 5651 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5648 5652 for @file.
5649 5653
5650 5654 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5651 5655 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5652 5656 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5653 5657 the code a bit easier.
5654 5658
5655 5659 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5656 5660 information to crash reports.
5657 5661
5658 5662 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5659 5663
5660 5664 * Released 0.2.5.
5661 5665
5662 5666 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5663 5667
5664 5668 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5665 5669 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5666 5670 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5667 5671
5668 5672 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5669 5673
5670 5674 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5671 5675 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5672 5676 have thigs work as expected.
5673 5677
5674 5678 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5675 5679 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5676 5680 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5677 5681 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5678 5682 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5679 5683
5680 5684 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5681 5685 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5682 5686
5683 5687 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5684 5688
5685 5689 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5686 5690 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5687 5691
5688 5692 * README and manual updates.
5689 5693
5690 5694 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5691 5695 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5692 5696
5693 5697 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5694 5698 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5695 5699
5696 5700 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5697 5701 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5698 5702 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5699 5703 extension-less files.
5700 5704
5701 5705 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5702 5706 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5703 5707 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5704 5708
5705 5709 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5706 5710 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5707 5711
5708 5712 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5709 5713 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5710 5714 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5711 5715 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5712 5716 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5713 5717 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5714 5718 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5715 5719 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5716 5720 least make manually a shortcut.
5717 5721
5718 5722 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5719 5723 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5720 5724 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5721 5725 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5722 5726 runtime, with @colors.
5723 5727 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5724 5728 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5725 5729
5726 5730 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5727 5731
5728 5732 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5729 5733 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5730 5734 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5731 5735 read the startup info.
5732 5736
5733 5737 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5734 5738
5735 5739 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5736 5740 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5737 5741 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5738 5742 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5739 5743 type the better off we are.
5740 5744 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5741 5745 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5742 5746 before.
5743 5747
5744 5748 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5745 5749
5746 5750 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5747 5751 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5748 5752 this later.
5749 5753
5750 5754 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5751 5755
5752 5756 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5753 5757 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5754 5758 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5755 5759
5756 5760 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5757 5761
5758 5762 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5759 5763 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5760 5764 spitting out only offset information as before.
5761 5765 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5762 5766 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5763 5767
5764 5768 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5765 5769
5766 5770 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5767 5771 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5768 5772 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5769 5773 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5770 5774 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5771 5775 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5772 5776 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5773 5777 macros.
5774 5778
5775 5779 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5776 5780
5777 5781 * Released 0.2.4.
5778 5782
5779 5783 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5780 5784 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5781 5785 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5782 5786 re-execution.
5783 5787
5784 5788 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5785 5789
5786 5790 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5787 5791 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5788 5792 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5789 5793 documented, of course :)
5790 5794 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5791 5795 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5792 5796 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5793 5797
5794 5798 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5795 5799
5796 5800 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5797 5801 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5798 5802 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5799 5803
5800 5804 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5801 5805
5802 5806 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5803 5807 so I wanted an updated release).
5804 5808
5805 5809 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5806 5810
5807 5811 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5808 5812 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5809 5813 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5810 5814 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5811 5815 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.

5813 5817 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5814 5818
5815 5819 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5816 5820 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5817 5821
5818 5822 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5819 5823
5820 5824 * Released 0.2.2.
5821 5825
5822 5826 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5823 5827 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5824 5828 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5825 5829 versions.
5826 5830
5827 5831 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5828 5832 (MayaVi author).
5829 5833
5830 5834 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5831 5835
5832 5836 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5833 5837 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5834 5838 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5835 5839 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5836 5840 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5837 5841
5838 5842 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5839 5843 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5840 5844
5841 5845 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5842 5846
5843 5847 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5844 5848 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5845 5849 nice, full-blown manual.
5846 5850
5847 5851 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5848 5852 trivially simple for end-users.
5849 5853
5850 5854 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5851 5855
5852 5856 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5853 5857 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5854 5858
5855 5859 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5856 5860 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5857 5861
5858 5862 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5859 5863
5860 5864 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5861 5865 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5862 5866 people to later upgrade versions.
5863 5867
5864 5868 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5865 5869 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5866 5870 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5867 5871 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5868 5872 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5869 5873 SystemExit).
5870 5874
5871 5875 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5872 5876 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5873 5877 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5874 5878 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5875 5879 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5876 5880
5877 5881 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5878 5882 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5879 5883 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5880 5884
5881 5885 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5882 5886
5883 5887 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5884 5888 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5885 5889
5886 5890 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5887 5891 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5888 5892 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5889 5893 html docs out of it will be found).
5890 5894
5891 5895 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5892 5896
5893 5897 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5894 5898 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5895 5899
5896 5900 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5897 5901
5898 5902 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5899 5903 visiting any directory in _dh.
5900 5904
5901 5905 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5902 5906 it out with numbers.
5903 5907
5904 5908 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5905 5909
5906 5910 * Released 0.1.22
5907 5911
5908 5912 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5909 5913 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5910 5914
5911 5915 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5912 5916 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5913 5917 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5914 5918 screen the necessary mail command.
5915 5919
5916 5920 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5917 5921 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5918 5922 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5919 5923
5920 5924 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5921 5925
5922 5926 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5923 5927 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5924 5928 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5925 5929 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5926 5930 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5927 5931 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5928 5932 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5929 5933 its name).
5930 5934
5931 5935 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5932 5936 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5933 5937 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5934 5938 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5935 5939
5936 5940 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5937 5941
5938 5942 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5939 5943 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5940 5944
5941 5945 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5942 5946 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5943 5947
5944 5948 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5945 5949 completion of @-starting lines.
5946 5950
5947 5951 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5948 5952 info that other files can read from.
5949 5953
5950 5954 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5951 5955 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5952 5956 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5953 5957 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5954 5958 restores produce less errors.
5955 5959
5956 5960 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5957 5961 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5958 5962 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5959 5963 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5960 5964 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5961 5965
5962 5966 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5963 5967 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5964 5968 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5965 5969 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5966 5970 with this, finally...
5967 5971
5968 5972 * Small documentation updates.
5969 5973
5970 5974 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5971 5975 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5972 5976 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5973 5977
5974 5978 * File renaming:
5975 5979 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5976 5980 ipplib --> iplib
5977 5981 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5978 5982
5979 5983 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5980 5984 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5981 5985 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5982 5986
5983 5987 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5984 5988 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5985 5989 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5986 5990
5987 5991 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5988 5992
5989 5993 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5990 5994 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5991 5995 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5992 5996 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5993 5997
5994 5998 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5995 5999 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5996 6000 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5997 6001
5998 6002 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5999 6003 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6000 6004 road.
6001 6005
6002 6006 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6003 6007 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6004 6008 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6005 6009 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6006 6010
6007 6011 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6008 6012
6009 6013 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6010 6014 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6011 6015 file accordingly.
6012 6016
6013 6017 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6014 6018 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6015 6019 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6016 6020 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6017 6021 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6018 6022 separators and proper padding and justification.
6019 6023
6020 6024 * Released 0.1.20
6021 6025
6022 6026 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6023 6027 copy operation was missing).
6024 6028
6025 6029 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6026 6030 its output is always quite long.
6027 6031
6028 6032 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6029 6033 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6030 6034 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6031 6035 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6032 6036
6033 6037 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6034 6038 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6035 6039 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6036 6040 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6037 6041
6038 6042 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6039 6043
6040 6044 * Released 0.1.19
6041 6045
6042 6046 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6043 6047 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6044 6048
6045 6049 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6046 6050 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6047 6051 comment on 'macros').
6048 6052
6049 6053 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6050 6054
6051 6055 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6052 6056 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6053 6057 statements and takes parameters.
6054 6058
6055 6059 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6056 6060
6057 6061 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6058 6062
6059 6063 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6060 6064
6061 6065 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6062 6066 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6063 6067
6064 6068 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6065 6069 ipythonrc-* samples.
6066 6070
6067 6071 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6068 6072 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6069 6073
6070 6074 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6071 6075 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6072 6076
6073 6077 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6074 6078
6075 6079 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6076 6080 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6077 6081 convention.
6078 6082
6079 6083 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6080 6084 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6081 6085
6082 6086 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6083 6087
6084 6088 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6085 6089 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6086 6090
6087 6091 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6088 6092 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6089 6093 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6090 6094 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6091 6095 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6092 6096 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6093 6097 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6094 6098 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6095 6099 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6096 6100 works.
6097 6101
6098 6102 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6099 6103
6100 6104 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6101 6105 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6102 6106 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6103 6107 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6104 6108 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6105 6109 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6106 6110 all the editors, less does that.
6107 6111
6108 6112 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6109 6113
6110 6114 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6111 6115 crash IPython.
6112 6116
6113 6117 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6114 6118
6115 6119 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6116 6120
6117 6121 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6118 6122 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6119 6123 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6120 6124 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6121 6125 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6122 6126 work in _ofind.
6123 6127
6124 6128 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6125 6129 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6126 6130 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6127 6131 (famous last words).
6128 6132
6129 6133 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6130 6134 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6131 6135 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6132 6136 windows).
6133 6137
6134 6138 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6135 6139 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6136 6140
6137 6141 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6138 6142 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6139 6143 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6140 6144 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6141 6145
6142 6146 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6143 6147 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6144 6148 licences and announce it.
6145 6149
6146 6150 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6147 6151 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6148 6152 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6149 6153 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6150 6154
6151 6155 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6152 6156
6153 6157 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6154 6158 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6155 6159 lists.
6156 6160
6157 6161 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6158 6162 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6159 6163 are ok.
6160 6164
6161 6165 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6162 6166 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6163 6167
6164 6168 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6165 6169 this to Nathan.
6166 6170
6167 6171 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6168 6172
6169 6173 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6170 6174 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6171 6175 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6172 6176
6173 6177 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6174 6178 accepted). Cleaner.
6175 6179
6176 6180 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6177 6181 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6178 6182 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6179 6183 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6180 6184 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6181 6185
6182 6186 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6183 6187
6184 6188 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6185 6189 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6186 6190 history after a log replay.
6187 6191
6188 6192 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6189 6193 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6190 6194 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6191 6195 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6192 6196 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6193 6197 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6194 6198
6195 6199 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6196 6200 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6197 6201 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6198 6202 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6199 6203 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6200 6204
6201 6205 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6202 6206
6203 6207 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6204 6208 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6205 6209 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6206 6210 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6207 6211 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6208 6212 one: cache_size.
6209 6213
6210 6214 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6211 6215 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6212 6216 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6213 6217 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6214 6218
6215 6219 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6216 6220 @ or not).
6217 6221
6218 6222 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6219 6223 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6220 6224 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6221 6225 about licensing).
6222 6226
6223 6227 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6224 6228
6225 6229 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6226 6230 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6227 6231
6228 6232 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6229 6233 screen size for page() operations.
6230 6234
6231 6235 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6232 6236 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6233 6237 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6234 6238 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6235 6239
6236 6240 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6237 6241 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6238 6242 option name tables are clearer.
6239 6243
6240 6244 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6241 6245 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6242 6246 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6243 6247 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6244 6248 was also changed a little to align better.
6245 6249
6246 6250 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6247 6251 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6248 6252
6249 6253 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6250 6254 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6251 6255 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6252 6256
6253 6257 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6254 6258 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6255 6259 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6256 6260 he needs it.
6257 6261
6258 6262 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6259 6263
6260 6264 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6261 6265 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6262 6266 warning on it.
6263 6267
6264 6268 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6265 6269 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6266 6270 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6267 6271 was too long).
6268 6272
6269 6273 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6270 6274 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6271 6275 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6272 6276
6273 6277 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6274 6278 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6275 6279 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6276 6280 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6277 6281 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6278 6282 function for the same task.
6279 6283
6280 6284 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6281 6285
6282 6286 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6283 6287
6284 6288 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6285 6289 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6286 6290 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6287 6291
6288 6292 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6289 6293 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6290 6294 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6291 6295
6292 6296 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6293 6297 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6294 6298 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6295 6299
6296 6300 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6297 6301
6298 6302 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6299 6303
6300 6304 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6301 6305 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6302 6306 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6303 6307
6304 6308 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6305 6309
6306 6310 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6307 6311
6308 6312 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6309 6313
6310 6314 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6311 6315 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6312 6316 maintain.
6313 6317
6314 6318 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6315 6319 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6316 6320 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6317 6321 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6318 6322 compiled and startup is much faster.
6319 6323
6320 6324 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6321 6325 while without messing too much more with the code.
6322 6326
6323 6327 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6324 6328
6325 6329 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6326 6330
6327 6331 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6328 6332 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6329 6333 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6330 6334
6331 6335 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6332 6336 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6333 6337
6334 6338 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6335 6339 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6336 6340 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6337 6341 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6338 6342 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6339 6343 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6340 6344
6341 6345 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6342 6346 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6343 6347
6344 6348 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6345 6349 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6346 6350
6347 6351 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6348 6352 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6349 6353 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6350 6354 excessive.
6351 6355
6352 6356 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6353 6357 types (only first word was displayed).
6354 6358
6355 6359 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6356 6360
6357 6361 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6358 6362
6359 6363 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6360 6364 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6361 6365 travel along many directories.
6362 6366
6363 6367 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6364 6368 arguments with default values.
6365 6369
6366 6370 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6367 6371
6368 6372 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6369 6373 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6370 6374
6371 6375 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6372 6376
6373 6377 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6374 6378 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6375 6379 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6376 6380
6377 6381 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6378 6382
6379 6383 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6380 6384 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6381 6385 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6382 6386 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6383 6387 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6384 6388 purposes.
6385 6389
6386 6390 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6387 6391 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6388 6392 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6389 6393 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6390 6394 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6391 6395 one can simply say
6392 6396 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6393 6397 or even
6394 6398 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6395 6399
6396 6400 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6397 6401 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6398 6402 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6399 6403
6400 6404 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6401 6405 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6402 6406 they were defined in
6403 6407
6404 6408 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6405 6409
6406 6410 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6407 6411 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6408 6412 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6409 6413 these to show the same information.
6410 6414
6411 6415 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6412 6416
6413 6417 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6414 6418 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6415 6419 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6416 6420 backtracked on the whole class!)
6417 6421
6418 6422 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6419 6423 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6420 6424 everything works as before).
6421 6425
6422 6426 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6423 6427 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6424 6428 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6425 6429 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6426 6430
6427 6431 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6428 6432
6429 6433 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6430 6434
6431 6435 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6432 6436 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6433 6437
6434 6438 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6435 6439 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6436 6440 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6437 6441 this later.
6438 6442
6439 6443 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6440 6444
6441 6445 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6442 6446 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6443 6447 line option.
6444 6448
6445 6449 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6446 6450 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6447 6451 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6448 6452 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6449 6453 didn't return a result).
6450 6454
6451 6455 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6452 6456
6453 6457 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6454 6458
6455 6459 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6456 6460 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6457 6461 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6458 6462 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6459 6463
6460 6464 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6461 6465
6462 6466 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6463 6467
6464 6468 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6465 6469 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6466 6470
6467 6471 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6468 6472 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6469 6473 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6470 6474 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6471 6475 in with the next entry:
6472 6476
6473 6477 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6474 6478 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6475 6479 handling.
6476 6480
6477 6481 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6478 6482 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6479 6483 namespace protection and documentation.
6480 6484
6481 6485 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6482 6486
6483 6487 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6484 6488 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6485 6489
6486 6490 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6487 6491
6488 6492 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6489 6493
6490 6494 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6491 6495
6492 6496 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6493 6497 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6494 6498 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6495 6499 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6496 6500 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6497 6501
6498 6502 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6499 6503 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6500 6504 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6501 6505
6502 6506 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6503 6507
6504 6508 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6505 6509 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6506 6510
6507 6511 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6508 6512
6509 6513 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6510 6514
6511 6515 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6512 6516 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6513 6517 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6514 6518 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6515 6519 ScientificPython.
6516 6520
6517 6521 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6518 6522
6519 6523 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6520 6524 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6521 6525 when called with no args.
6522 6526
6523 6527 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6524 6528 closely.
6525 6529
6526 6530 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6527 6531 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6528 6532 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6529 6533 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6530 6534 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6531 6535
6532 6536 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6533 6537
6534 6538 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6535 6539 customizations there and access them via import.
6536 6540
6537 6541 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6538 6542
6539 6543 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6540 6544
6541 6545 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6542 6546 Nathan and Janko.
6543 6547
6544 6548 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6545 6549
6546 6550 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6547 6551 too long.
6548 6552
6549 6553 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6550 6554
6551 6555 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6552 6556 ?sin and sin?
6553 6557 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6554 6558 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6555 6559 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6556 6560 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6557 6561
6558 6562 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6559 6563
6560 6564 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6561 6565
6562 6566 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6563 6567 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6564 6568
6565 6569 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6566 6570 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6567 6571 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6568 6572 me).
6569 6573
6570 6574 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6571 6575 protected (reasonably).
6572 6576
6573 6577 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6574 6578 note through it (it was too long).
6575 6579
6576 6580 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6577 6581 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6578 6582 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6579 6583 parameters.

6583 6587
6584 6588 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6585 6589 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6586 6590 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6587 6591
6588 6592 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6589 6593 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6590 6594 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6591 6595
6592 6596 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6593 6597
6594 6598 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6595 6599
6596 6600 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6597 6601
6598 6602 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6599 6603 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6600 6604 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6601 6605 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6602 6606 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6603 6607 break.
6604 6608
6605 6609 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6606 6610 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6607 6611 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6608 6612 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6609 6613 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6610 6614 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6611 6615
6612 6616 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6613 6617 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6614 6618 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6615 6619 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6616 6620 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6617 6621 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6618 6622 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6619 6623 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6620 6624 trick.
6621 6625
6622 6626 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6623 6627 session restoring.
6624 6628
6625 6629 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6626 6630 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6627 6631 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6628 6632 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6629 6633 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6630 6634
6631 6635 * Started ChangeLog.
