1 6 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2 7
3 8 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
4 9 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
5 10 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
6 11 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
7 12
8 13 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
9 14
10 15 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
11 16 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
12 17 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
13 18 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
14 19 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
15 20
16 21 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
17 22
18 23 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
19 24 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
20 25
21 26 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
22 27
23 28 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
24 29 the mode argument).
25 30
26 31 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
27 32
28 33 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
29 34 not running under IPython.
30 35
31 36 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
32 37 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
33 38 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
34 39 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
35 40 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
36 41 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
37 42 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
38 43 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
39 44 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
40 45 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
41 46 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
42 47 are still supported.
43 48
44 49 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
45 50 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
46 51 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
47 52 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
48 53
49 54 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
50 55 encoding into methods.
51 56
52 57 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

62 67 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
63 68
64 69 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
65 70 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
66 71
67 72 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
68 73
69 74 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
70 75 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
71 76
72 77 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
73 78
74 79 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
75 80 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
76 81 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
77 82
78 83 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
79 84
80 85 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
81 86 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
82 87 Stefan van der Walt.
83 88
84 89 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

90 95
91 96 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
92 97 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
93 98 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
94 99
95 100 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
96 101
97 102 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's

106 111 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
107 112
108 113 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
109 114 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
110 115 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
111 116
112 117 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
113 118
114 119 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
115 120 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
116 121
117 122 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
118 123
119 124 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
120 125 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
121 126
122 127 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
123 128
124 129 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
125 130 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
126 131 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
127 132 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
128 133 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
129 134 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
130 135 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
131 136 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
132 137 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
133 138 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
134 139 the x key to "delete".
135 140
136 141 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
137 142
138 143 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
139 144 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
140 145 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
141 146 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
142 147
143 148 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
144 149 prompt
145 150
146 151 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
147 152
148 153 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
149 154
150 155 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
151 156 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
152 157 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
153 158 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
154 159
155 160 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
156 161
157 162 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
158 163 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
159 164 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
160 165 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
161 166 doesn't work properly yet.
162 167
163 168 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
164 169
165 170 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
166 171 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
167 172 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
168 173
169 174 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
170 175
171 176 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
172 177 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
173 178 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
174 179 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
175 180 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
176 181 execute commands.
177 182
178 183 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
179 184
180 185 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
181 186 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
182 187
183 188 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
184 189
185 190 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
186 191 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
187 192
188 193 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
189 194
190 195 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
191 196 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
192 197 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
193 198
194 199 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
195 200
196 201 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
197 202
198 203 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
199 204 Repo tagged and release cut.
200 205
201 206 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
202 207
203 208 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
204 209 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
205 210
206 211 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
207 212 (for %upgrade)
208 213
209 214 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
210 215
211 216 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
212 217 instead of looping 20 times.
213 218
214 219 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
215 220 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
216 221 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
217 222
218 223 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
219 224 testing for release on 06/06.
220 225
221 226 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
222 227
223 228 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
224 229 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
225 230 live in people's PATH.
226 231
227 232 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
228 233 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
229 234 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
230 235 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
231 236 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
232 237
233 238 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
234 239 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
235 240
236 241 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
237 242
238 243 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
239 244 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
240 245
241 246 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
242 247
243 248 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
244 249 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
245 250 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
246 251
247 252 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
248 253
249 254 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
250 255 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
251 256 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
252 257 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
253 258
254 259 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
255 260 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
256 261 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
257 262 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
258 263
259 264 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
260 265 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
261 266 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
262 267 work.
263 268
264 269 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
265 270
266 271 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
267 272 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
268 273
269 274 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
270 275 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
271 276 author William Stein.
272 277
273 278 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
274 279 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
275 280 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
276 281 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
277 282 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
278 283 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
279 284 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
280 285 objects more easily.
281 286
282 287 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
283 288
284 289 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
285 290 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
286 291 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
287 292 by Jeffrey Collins.
288 293
289 294 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
290 295 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
291 296 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
292 297 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
293 298
294 299 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
295 300 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
296 301 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
297 302 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
298 303
299 304 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
300 305 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
301 306 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
302 307 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
303 308 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
304 309 compatibility)
305 310
306 311 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
307 312 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
308 313 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
309 314
310 315 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
311 316 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
312 317 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
313 318 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
314 319 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
315 320
316 321 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
317 322 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
318 323 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
319 324
320 325 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
321 326 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
322 327 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
323 328 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
324 329 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
325 330 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
326 331 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
327 332
328 333 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
329 334 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
330 335 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
331 336
332 337 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
333 338 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
334 339 it is a real module. Closes #59.
335 340
336 341 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
337 342 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
338 343
339 344 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
340 345
341 346 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
342 347 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
343 348 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
344 349 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
345 350 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
346 351 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
347 352 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
348 353 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
349 354 while running under SAGE.
350 355
351 356 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
352 357
353 358 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
354 359 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
355 360 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
356 361 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
357 362
358 363 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
359 364
360 365 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
361 366 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
362 367 updated.
363 368
364 369 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
365 370 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
366 371 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
367 372 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
368 373 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
369 374
370 375 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
371 376 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
372 377 so more testing is needed...
373 378
374 379 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
375 380
376 381 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
377 382 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
378 383 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
379 384 when doing complex debugging.
380 385 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
381 386 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
382 387 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
383 388 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
384 389
385 390 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
386 391
387 392 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
388 393 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
389 394 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
390 395 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
391 396
392 397 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
393 398
394 399 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
395 400 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
396 401
397 402 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
398 403
399 404 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
400 405 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
401 406 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
402 407 been the one to acquire it.
403 408
404 409 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
405 410
406 411 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
407 412
408 413 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
409 414
410 415 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
411 416 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
412 417 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
413 418
414 419 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
415 420 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
416 421 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
417 422 properly flush the output cache.
418 423
419 424 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
420 425 half-success (and fail explicitly).
421 426
422 427 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
423 428
424 429 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
425 430 are quoted
426 431
427 432 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
428 433
429 434 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
430 435 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
431 436
432 437 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
433 438 separator, since space is legal in path names.
434 439
435 440 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
436 441
437 442 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
438 443 %upgrade magic
439 444
440 445 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
441 446
442 447 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
443 448 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
444 449 reported by Zachary Pincus.
445 450
446 451 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
447 452
448 453 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
449 454 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
450 455
451 456 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
452 457 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
453 458 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
454 459 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
455 460 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
456 461
457 462 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
458 463
459 464 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
460 465 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
461 466
462 467 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
463 468
464 469 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
465 470 Torsten Marek.
466 471
467 472 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
468 473
469 474 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
470 475 line ranges works again.
471 476
472 477 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
473 478
474 479 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
475 480 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
476 481 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
477 482 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
478 483 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
479 484
480 485 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
481 486 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
482 487 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
483 488 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
484 489 more.
485 490
486 491 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
487 492
488 493 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
489 494 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
490 495
491 496 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
492 497
493 498 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
494 499 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
495 500
496 501 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
497 502
498 503 * Magic.py: %save works again.
499 504
500 505 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
501 506
502 507 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
503 508
504 509 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
505 510 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
506 511 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
507 512
508 513 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
509 514
510 515 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
511 516 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
512 517 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
513 518 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
514 519
515 520 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
516 521 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
517 522
518 523 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
519 524 contributed by marienz to close
520 525 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
521 526
522 527 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
523 528
524 529 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
525 530
526 531 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
527 532 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
528 533 nonsense.
529 534
530 535 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
531 536
532 537 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
533 538 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
534 539
535 540 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
536 541
537 542 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
538 543
539 544 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
540 545 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
541 546
542 547 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
543 548
544 549 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
545 550 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
546 551 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
547 552 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
548 553 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
549 554 SAGE team.
550 555 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
551 556 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
552 557
553 558 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
554 559 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
555 560 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
556 561 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
557 562 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
558 563
559 564 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
560 565
561 566 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
562 567 correctly now (on Linux)
563 568
564 569 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
565 570 warnings
566 571
567 572 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
568 573
569 574 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
570 575
571 576
572 577 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
573 578
574 579 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
575 580 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
576 581 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
577 582 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
578 583 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
579 584 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
580 585 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
581 586 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
582 587
583 588 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
584 589
585 590 * aliases can now be %store'd
586 591
587 592 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
588 593 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
589 594 at __init__.
590 595
591 596 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
592 597 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
593 598
594 599 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
595 600
596 601 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
597 602 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
598 603 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
599 604
600 605 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
601 606
602 607 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
603 608
604 609 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
605 610
606 611 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
607 612 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
608 613 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
609 614 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
610 615
611 616 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
612 617 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
613 618
614 619 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
615 620
616 621 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
617 622 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
618 623 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
619 624 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
620 625
621 626 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
622 627 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
623 628 usage.
624 629
625 630 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
626 631 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
627 632 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
628 633
629 634 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
630 635
631 636 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
632 637 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
633 638
634 639 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
635 640 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
636 641 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
637 642
638 643 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
639 644
640 645 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
641 646
642 647 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
643 648
644 649 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
645 650 are now more helpful:
646 651 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
647 652
648 653 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 654
650 655 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
651 656 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
652 657
653 658 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
654 659
655 660 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
656 661 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
657 662
658 663 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
659 664 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
660 665 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
661 666
662 667 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
663 668
664 669
665 670 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
666 671
667 672 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
668 673 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
669 674
670 675 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
671 676
672 677 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
673 678 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
674 679 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
675 680 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
676 681 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
677 682 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
678 683
679 684 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
680 685
681 686 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
682 687 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
683 688 \python24\scripts).
684 689
685 690 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
686 691 egg.
687 692
688 693 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
689 694
690 695 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
691 696
692 697 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
693 698
694 699 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
695 700
696 701 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
697 702
698 703 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
699 704 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
700 705 \python24\scripts).
701 706
702 707 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
703 708 egg.
704 709
705 710 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
706 711
707 712 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
708 713 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
709 714 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
710 715
711 716 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
712 717 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
713 718 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
714 719 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
715 720
716 721 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
717 722 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
718 723 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
719 724 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
720 725 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
721 726 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
722 727 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
723 728 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
724 729 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
725 730 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
726 731 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
727 732 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.

729 734 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
730 735
731 736 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
732 737 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
733 738 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
734 739 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
735 740
736 741 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
737 742
738 743 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
739 744 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
740 745 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
741 746 importing extensions easy.
742 747
743 748 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
744 749 classes / instances of those classes.
745 750
746 751 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
747 752 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
748 753 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
749 754 the user.
750 755
751 756 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
752 757 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
753 758 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
754 759
755 760 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
756 761
757 762 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
758 763 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
759 764 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
760 765 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
761 766 others may also catch any problems. Also made
762 767 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
763 768 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
764 769 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
765 770 the method.
766 771
767 772 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
768 773
769 774 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
770 775 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
771 776
772 777 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
773 778
774 779 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
775 780 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
776 781 Vivian.
777 782
778 783 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
779 784 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
780 785 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
781 786 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
782 787 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
783 788
784 789 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
785 790
786 791 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
787 792 that returns file contents on exit.
788 793
789 794 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
790 795 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
791 796 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
792 797 sc files=ls
793 798 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
794 799 print p,p.mtime
795 800
796 801 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
797 802 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
798 803 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
799 804 instead of syntax error.
800 805
801 806
802 807 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
803 808
804 809 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
805 810 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
806 811 data.
807 812
808 813 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
809 814 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
810 815 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
811 816 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
812 817
813 818 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
814 819 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
815 820 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
816 821 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
817 822 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
818 823 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
819 824
820 825 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
821 826
822 827 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
823 828 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
824 829 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
825 830 current dir.
826 831
827 832 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
828 833 had to create new files.
829 834
830 835 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
831 836 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
832 837 future.
833 838
834 839 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
835 840 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
836 841 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
837 842
838 843
839 844 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
840 845
841 846 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
842 847 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
843 848 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
844 849 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
845 850 later.
846 851
847 852 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
848 853 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
849 854
850 855 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
851 856
852 857 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
853 858 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
854 859 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
855 860 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
856 861 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
857 862 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
858 863
859 864 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
860 865
861 866 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
862 867 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
863 868 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
864 869 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
865 870 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
866 871 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
867 872 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
868 873 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
869 874 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
870 875 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
871 876
872 877 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
873 878 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
874 879 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
875 880 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
876 881
877 882 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
878 883 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
879 884 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
880 885 "setup.py install" between changes).
881 886
882 887 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
883 888 if 1:
884 889 !ls
885 890 !!ls
886 891
887 892 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
888 893
889 894 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
890 895 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
891 896 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
892 897 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
893 898
894 899 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
895 900 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
896 901 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
897 902
898 903 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
899 904
900 905 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
901 906 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
902 907 win32.
903 908
904 909 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
905 910
906 911 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
907 912
908 913 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
909 914 ready for release.
910 915
911 916 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
912 917 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
913 918 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
914 919 where to copy the info from.
915 920
916 921 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
917 922
918 923 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
919 924 support in the release tools as well.
920 925
921 926 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
922 927
923 928 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
924 929 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
925 930 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
926 931 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
927 932
928 933 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
929 934 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
930 935 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
931 936
932 937 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
933 938 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
934 939
935 940 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
936 941 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
937 942 printer not to work.
938 943
939 944 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
940 945
941 946 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
942 947 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
943 948
944 949 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
945 950
946 951 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
947 952 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
948 953 Moad for help with tracking it down.
949 954
950 955 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
951 956 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
952 957 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
953 958
954 959 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
955 960 Ville's patch.
956 961
957 962 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
958 963
959 964 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
960 965 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
961 966 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
962 967 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
963 968 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
964 969 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
965 970 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
966 971
967 972 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
968 973 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
969 974 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
970 975
971 976 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
972 977
973 978 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
974 979 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
975 980
976 981 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
977 982 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
978 983 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
979 984 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
980 985 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
981 986 twister).
982 987
983 988 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
984 989 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
985 990 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
986 991
987 992 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
988 993 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
989 994 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
990 995 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
991 996 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
992 997 something inside the dis module.
993 998
994 999 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
995 1000
996 1001 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
997 1002 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
998 1003 follows the discussion in
999 1004 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1000 1005
1001 1006 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1002 1007 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1003 1008 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1004 1009
1005 1010 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1006 1011 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1007 1012 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1008 1013
1009 1014 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1010 1015 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1011 1016 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1012 1017 speed up this routine.
1013 1018
1014 1019 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1015 1020 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1016 1021 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1017 1022 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1018 1023 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1019 1024 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1020 1025 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1021 1026 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1022 1027
1023 1028 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1024 1029 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1025 1030 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1026 1031
1027 1032 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1028 1033 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1029 1034 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1030 1035 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1031 1036 setters don't do anything).
1032 1037
1033 1038 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1034 1039
1035 1040 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1036 1041 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1037 1042 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1038 1043 falling out of sync...)
1039 1044
1040 1045 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1041 1046 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1042 1047 as loops).
1043 1048
1044 1049 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1045 1050 win32 system access.
1046 1051
1047 1052 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1048 1053
1049 1054 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1050 1055 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1051 1056 thread-safe.
1052 1057 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1053 1058 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1054 1059 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1055 1060 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1056 1061 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1057 1062 can still happen.
1058 1063 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1059 1064 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1060 1065 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1061 1066 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1062 1067 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1063 1068 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1064 1069 cleanly.
1065 1070
1066 1071 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1067 1072 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1068 1073 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1069 1074 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1070 1075 users' persisted data.
1071 1076
1072 1077 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1073 1078 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1074 1079 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1075 1080 multiline input (such as macros).
1076 1081
1077 1082 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1078 1083 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1079 1084 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1080 1085 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1081 1086 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1082 1087 informative).
1083 1088
1084 1089 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1085 1090 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1086 1091
1087 1092 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1088 1093 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1089 1094 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1090 1095
1091 1096 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1092 1097 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1093 1098 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1094 1099 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1095 1100 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1096 1101 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1097 1102 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1098 1103 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1099 1104 details.
1100 1105
1101 1106 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1102 1107 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1103 1108 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1104 1109 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1105 1110 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1106 1111
1107 1112 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1108 1113 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1109 1114 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1110 1115 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1111 1116 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1112 1117
1113 1118 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1114 1119 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1115 1120 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1116 1121 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1117 1122 options to %logstart. Closes
1118 1123 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1119 1124 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).

1121 1126 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1122 1127
1123 1128 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1124 1129 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1125 1130 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1126 1131 list:
1127 1132 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1128 1133
1129 1134 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1130 1135
1131 1136 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1132 1137 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1133 1138 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1134 1139 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1135 1140
1136 1141 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1137 1142 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1138 1143 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1139 1144 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1140 1145 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1141 1146
1142 1147 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1143 1148 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1144 1149 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1145 1150 true by default.
1146 1151
1147 1152 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1148 1153 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1149 1154 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1150 1155 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1151 1156
1152 1157 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1153 1158
1154 1159 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1155 1160 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1156 1161 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1157 1162 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1158 1163 version committed).
1159 1164
1160 1165 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1161 1166 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1162 1167 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1163 1168 discussion on the user list.
1164 1169
1165 1170 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1166 1171 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1167 1172 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1168 1173 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1169 1174
1170 1175 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1171 1176
1172 1177 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1173 1178 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1174 1179 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1175 1180
1176 1181 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1177 1182 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1178 1183 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1179 1184
1180 1185 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1181 1186 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1182 1187 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1183 1188 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1184 1189 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1185 1190 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1186 1191 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1187 1192 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1188 1193 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1189 1194 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1190 1195 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1191 1196 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1192 1197 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1193 1198 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1194 1199 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1195 1200 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1196 1201 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1197 1202 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1198 1203 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1199 1204 branch refactoring.
1200 1205
1201 1206 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1202 1207
1203 1208 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1204 1209 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1205 1210
1206 1211 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1207 1212 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1208 1213 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1209 1214 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1210 1215 worked correctly).
1211 1216
1212 1217 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1213 1218 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1214 1219 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1215 1220
1216 1221 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1217 1222
1218 1223 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1219 1224 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1220 1225 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1221 1226 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1222 1227 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1223 1228 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1224 1229 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1225 1230 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1226 1231
1227 1232 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1228 1233
1229 1234 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1230 1235 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1231 1236 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1232 1237 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1233 1238 on this.
1234 1239
1235 1240 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1236 1241
1237 1242 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1238 1243 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1239 1244 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1240 1245 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1241 1246 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1242 1247
1243 1248 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1244 1249
1245 1250 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1246 1251 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1247 1252 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1248 1253 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1249 1254
1250 1255 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1251 1256
1252 1257 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1253 1258 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1254 1259 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1255 1260
1256 1261 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1257 1262
1258 1263 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1259 1264 startup time.
1260 1265
1261 1266 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1262 1267 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1263 1268 it's working in all cases.
1264 1269
1265 1270 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1266 1271 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1267 1272 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1268 1273 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1269 1274 per-search basis.
1270 1275
1271 1276 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1272 1277
1273 1278 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1274 1279 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1275 1280 of a patch by Jorgen.
1276 1281
1277 1282 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1278 1283
1279 1284 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1280 1285 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1281 1286 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1282 1287
1283 1288 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1284 1289
1285 1290 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1286 1291 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1287 1292 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1288 1293 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1289 1294
1290 1295 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1291 1296
1292 1297 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1293 1298 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1294 1299 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1295 1300 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1296 1301 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1297 1302 implementing this functionality.
1298 1303
1299 1304 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1300 1305
1301 1306 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1302 1307 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1303 1308 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1304 1309 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1305 1310 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1306 1311 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1307 1312 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1308 1313
1309 1314 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1310 1315
1311 1316 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1312 1317 reported by Stephen Walton.
1313 1318
1314 1319 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1315 1320
1316 1321 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1317 1322
1318 1323 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1319 1324 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1320 1325
1321 1326 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1322 1327
1323 1328 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1324 1329 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1325 1330
1326 1331 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1327 1332 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1328 1333
1329 1334 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1330 1335
1331 1336 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1332 1337 finishing.
1333 1338
1334 1339 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1335 1340 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1336 1341
1337 1342 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1338 1343 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1339 1344 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1340 1345
1341 1346 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1342 1347 code, handy in general.
1343 1348
1344 1349 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1345 1350 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1346 1351 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1347 1352
1348 1353 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1349 1354
1350 1355 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1351 1356 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1352 1357 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1353 1358 testing, though.
1354 1359 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1355 1360 like this before...
1356 1361
1357 1362 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1358 1363 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1359 1364
1360 1365 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1361 1366 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1362 1367
1363 1368 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1364 1369
1365 1370 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1366 1371 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1367 1372 F. Mantegazza.
1368 1373
1369 1374 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1370 1375
1371 1376 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1372 1377 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1373 1378 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1374 1379
1375 1380 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1376 1381 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1377 1382 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1378 1383 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1379 1384 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1380 1385 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1381 1386
1382 1387 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1383 1388
1384 1389 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1385 1390 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1386 1391 beyond readline-based environments.
1387 1392
1388 1393 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1389 1394
1390 1395 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1391 1396
1392 1397 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1393 1398 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1394 1399 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1395 1400 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1396 1401 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1397 1402
1398 1403 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1399 1404
1400 1405 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1401 1406 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1402 1407 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1403 1408
1404 1409 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1405 1410
1406 1411 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1407 1412
1408 1413 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1409 1414
1410 1415 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1411 1416 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1412 1417 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1413 1418 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1414 1419 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1415 1420 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1416 1421
1417 1422 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1418 1423
1419 1424 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1420 1425
1421 1426 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1422 1427
1423 1428 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1424 1429 invalid $HOME under win32.
1425 1430
1426 1431 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1427 1432
1428 1433 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1429 1434 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1430 1435 simpler and a bit faster.
1431 1436
1432 1437 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1433 1438 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1434 1439 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1435 1440 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1436 1441 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1437 1442
1438 1443 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1439 1444 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1440 1445 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1441 1446
1442 1447 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1443 1448 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1444 1449
1445 1450 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1446 1451 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1447 1452 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1448 1453 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1449 1454 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1450 1455 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1451 1456 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1452 1457
1453 1458 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1454 1459
1455 1460 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1456 1461
1457 1462 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1458 1463
1459 1464 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1460 1465 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.

1462 1467 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1463 1468
1464 1469 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1465 1470 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1466 1471 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1467 1472 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1468 1473 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1469 1474 for the contribution.
1470 1475
1471 1476 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1472 1477 slightly modified version of the patch in
1473 1478 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1474 1479 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1475 1480 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

1477 1482 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1478 1483
1479 1484 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1480 1485 I/O a bit more.
1481 1486
1482 1487 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1483 1488 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
1484 1489
1485 1490 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

1488 1493
1489 1494 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1490 1495 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1491 1496 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1492 1497 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1493 1498
1494 1499 readline_remove_delims -/~

1500 1505
1501 1506 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
1502 1507 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
1503 1508 <eli@gondolin.net>
1504 1509
1505 1510 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1506 1511
1507 1512 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
1508 1513 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
1509 1514
1510 1515 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1511 1516
1512 1517 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1513 1518 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1514 1519 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
1515 1520
1516 1521 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1517 1522
1518 1523 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1519 1524 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1520 1525
1521 1526 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1522 1527
1523 1528 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1524 1529 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1525 1530
1526 1531 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1527 1532 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1528 1533 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1529 1534 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1530 1535 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1531 1536 for more details.
1532 1537
1533 1538 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1534 1539 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1535 1540 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1536 1541 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
1537 1542
1538 1543 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1539 1544
1540 1545 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1541 1546 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1542 1547 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1543 1548 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1544 1549 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1545 1550
1546 1551 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1547 1552 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1548 1553 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1549 1554
1550 1555 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1551 1556
1552 1557 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
1553 1558
1554 1559 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1555 1560
1556 1561 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1557 1562 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1558 1563 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1559 1564 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1560 1565 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1561 1566
1562 1567 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1563 1568
1564 1569 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1565 1570
1566 1571 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1567 1572 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1568 1573 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1569 1574 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1570 1575 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1571 1576
1572 1577 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1573 1578 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1574 1579 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1575 1580 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1576 1581 take the text parameter.
1577 1582
1578 1583 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1579 1584 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1580 1585 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1581 1586 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1582 1587 pysh profile to include the line
1583 1588
1584 1589 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1585 1590
1586 1591 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1587 1592 delete pysh.py and the line
1588 1593
1589 1594 execfile pysh.py
1590 1595
1591 1596 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1592 1597
1593 1598 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1594 1599 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1595 1600 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1596 1601 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1597 1602 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1598 1603
1599 1604 * pysh.py:
1600 1605
1601 1606 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1602 1607
1603 1608 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1604 1609 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1605 1610 want it can still turn it off.
1606 1611
1607 1612 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1608 1613 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1609 1614 off by default.
1610 1615
1611 1616 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1612 1617 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1613 1618 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1614 1619 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1615 1620 calls.
1616 1621
1617 1622 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1618 1623
1619 1624 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1620 1625 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1621 1626 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1622 1627
1623 1628 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1624 1629
1625 1630 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1626 1631 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1627 1632 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1628 1633 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1629 1634
1630 1635 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1631 1636 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1632 1637 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1633 1638 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1634 1639
1635 1640 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1636 1641
1637 1642 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1638 1643 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1639 1644
1640 1645 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1641 1646 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1642 1647 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1643 1648 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1644 1649 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1645 1650 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1646 1651 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1647 1652 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1648 1653
1649 1654 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1650 1655
1651 1656 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1652 1657 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1653 1658 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1654 1659 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1655 1660 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1656 1661 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1657 1662 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1658 1663 add new completers at runtime.
1659 1664
1660 1665 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1661 1666
1662 1667 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1663 1668 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1664 1669 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1665 1670 ? system.
1666 1671
1667 1672 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1668 1673 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1669 1674 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1670 1675 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1671 1676 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1672 1677 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1673 1678 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1674 1679 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1675 1680
1676 1681 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1677 1682
1678 1683 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1679 1684 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1680 1685 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1681 1686 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1682 1687 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1683 1688
1684 1689 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1685 1690 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1686 1691 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1687 1692 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1688 1693 add:
1689 1694
1690 1695 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1691 1696 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
1692 1697
1693 1698 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1694 1699
1695 1700 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1696 1701 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1697 1702 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1698 1703 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1699 1704
1700 1705 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1701 1706 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1702 1707 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1703 1708 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1704 1709 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1705 1710 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1706 1711 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1707 1712 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1708 1713 further, simply bind them to any other name.
1709 1714
1710 1715 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1711 1716
1712 1717 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1713 1718 prompt namespace handling.
1714 1719
1715 1720 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1716 1721
1717 1722 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1718 1723 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1719 1724 trips the emacs python mode).
1720 1725 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1721 1726 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1722 1727 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1723 1728 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1724 1729 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1725 1730 calls will be made at runtime.
1726 1731
1727 1732 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1728 1733
1729 1734 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1730 1735 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1731 1736 the call to %history.
1732 1737
1733 1738 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
1734 1739
1735 1740 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1736 1741
1737 1742 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1738 1743 ipmagic() function calls.
1739 1744
1740 1745 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1741 1746 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1742 1747
1743 1748 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1744 1749
1745 1750 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1746 1751 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1747 1752 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1748 1753 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1749 1754 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1750 1755 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
1751 1756 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
1752 1757 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
1753 1758
1754 1759 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1755 1760
1756 1761 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
1757 1762 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
1758 1763 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
1759 1764 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
1760 1765 Ville Vainio.
1761 1766
1762 1767 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1763 1768
1764 1769 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
1765 1770 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
1766 1771 define the ones they personally like.
1767 1772
1768 1773 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1769 1774
1770 1775 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
1771 1776 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
1772 1777
1773 1778 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1774 1779
1775 1780 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
1776 1781 into keys (for prompts, for example).
1777 1782
1778 1783 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
1779 1784 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
1780 1785 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
1781 1786 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
1782 1787 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
1783 1788 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
1784 1789 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
1785 1790 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
1786 1791
1787 1792 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
1788 1793 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
1789 1794 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
1790 1795 modified version of the original Debian patch at
1791 1796 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

1793 1798 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1794 1799
1795 1800 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
1796 1801 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
1797 1802 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
1798 1803
1799 1804 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
1800 1805 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
1801 1806 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
1802 1807
1803 1808 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
1804 1809
1805 1810 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1806 1811
1807 1812 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
1808 1813 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
1809 1814 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
1810 1815 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
1811 1816 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
1812 1817 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
1813 1818 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
1814 1819 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
1815 1820 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
1816 1821 system is a separate implementation).
1817 1822
1818 1823 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
1819 1824 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
1820 1825 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
1821 1826 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
1822 1827 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
1823 1828 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
1824 1829 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
1825 1830 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
1826 1831 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
1827 1832 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
1828 1833 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
1829 1834
1830 1835 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1831 1836
1832 1837 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
1833 1838 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
1834 1839 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
1835 1840 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
1836 1841 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
1837 1842 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
1838 1843 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
1839 1844 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
1840 1845
1841 1846 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1842 1847
1843 1848 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
1844 1849 previous call produced a syntax error.
1845 1850
1846 1851 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1847 1852 classes without constructor.
1848 1853
1849 1854 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1850 1855
1851 1856 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
1852 1857 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
1853 1858 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
1854 1859 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
1855 1860 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
1856 1861 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
1857 1862 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
1858 1863
1859 1864 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1860 1865
1861 1866 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
1862 1867 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
1863 1868
1864 1869 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1865 1870
1866 1871 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
1867 1872 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
1868 1873 optimizations.
1869 1874
1870 1875 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
1871 1876 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
1872 1877
1873 1878 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1874 1879
1875 1880 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
1876 1881 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
1877 1882 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
1878 1883 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
1879 1884 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
1880 1885 avoid annoying the lists further.
1881 1886
1882 1887 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
1883 1888
1884 1889 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1885 1890
1886 1891 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
1887 1892 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
1888 1893 norm definitions.
1889 1894 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
1890 1895 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
1891 1896 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
1892 1897
1893 1898 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
1894 1899 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
1895 1900 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
1896 1901 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
1897 1902 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
1898 1903
1899 1904 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
1900 1905 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
1901 1906 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
1902 1907 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
1903 1908
1904 1909 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
1905 1910 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
1906 1911 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
1907 1912 fixes.
1908 1913
1909 1914 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
1910 1915 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
1911 1916 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
1912 1917 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
1913 1918 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
1914 1919 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
1915 1920 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
1916 1921
1917 1922 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
1918 1923
1919 1924 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1920 1925
1921 1926 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
1922 1927 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
1923 1928 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
1924 1929 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
1925 1930 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
1926 1931 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
1927 1932 Panel.
1928 1933
1929 1934 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
1930 1935 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
1931 1936 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
1932 1937 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
1933 1938 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
1934 1939
1935 1940 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1936 1941
1937 1942 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
1938 1943 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
1939 1944
1940 1945 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
1941 1946
1942 1947 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1943 1948
1944 1949 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
1945 1950 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
1946 1951 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
1947 1952 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
1948 1953 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
1949 1954 python shell.
1950 1955
1951 1956 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
1952 1957 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
1953 1958 on assignments. This closes
1954 1959 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
1955 1960 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
1956 1961 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
1957 1962
1958 1963 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1959 1964
1960 1965 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
1961 1966 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
1962 1967
1963 1968 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
1964 1969
1965 1970 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1966 1971
1967 1972 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
1968 1973 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
1969 1974
1970 1975 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1971 1976
1972 1977 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1973 1978 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
1974 1979 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
1975 1980
1976 1981 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1977 1982
1978 1983 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
1979 1984 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
1980 1985 'parent' object were present on the same line.
1981 1986
1982 1987 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1983 1988
1984 1989 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
1985 1990 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
1986 1991 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
1987 1992
1988 1993 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
1989 1994 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
1990 1995 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
1991 1996
1992 1997 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1993 1998
1994 1999 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
1995 2000 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
1996 2001
1997 2002 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1998 2003
1999 2004 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2000 2005 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2001 2006 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2002 2007
2003 2008 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2004 2009
2005 2010 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2006 2011 reported by Prabhu.
2007 2012 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2008 2013 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2009 2014 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2010 2015
2011 2016 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2012 2017 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2013 2018
2014 2019 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2015 2020 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2016 2021 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2017 2022 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2018 2023 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2019 2024 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2020 2025
2021 2026 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2022 2027
2023 2028 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2024 2029
2025 2030 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2026 2031 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2027 2032 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2028 2033 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2029 2034
2030 2035 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2031 2036 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2032 2037
2033 2038 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2034 2039 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2035 2040 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2036 2041 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2037 2042 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2038 2043 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2039 2044 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2040 2045
2041 2046 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2042 2047 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2043 2048 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2044 2049
2045 2050 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2046 2051 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2047 2052 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2048 2053 before.
2049 2054
2050 2055 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2051 2056
2052 2057 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2053 2058 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2054 2059 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2055 2060 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2056 2061
2057 2062 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2058 2063 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2059 2064 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2060 2065 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2061 2066 timing very short-running code.
2062 2067
2063 2068 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2064 2069 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2065 2070 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2066 2071 utility.
2067 2072
2068 2073 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2069 2074 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2070 2075 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2071 2076 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2072 2077 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2073 2078 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2074 2079 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2075 2080 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2076 2081
2077 2082 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2078 2083 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2079 2084 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2080 2085
2081 2086 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2082 2087 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2083 2088 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2084 2089 is for).
2085 2090
2086 2091 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2087 2092 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2088 2093 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2089 2094 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2090 2095 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2091 2096
2092 2097 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2093 2098
2094 2099 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2095 2100 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2096 2101 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2097 2102 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2098 2103 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2099 2104
2100 2105 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2101 2106 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2102 2107 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2103 2108 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2104 2109 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2105 2110 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2106 2111
2107 2112 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2108 2113
2109 2114 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2110 2115 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2111 2116
2112 2117 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2113 2118
2114 2119 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2115 2120 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2116 2121 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2117 2122 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2118 2123
2119 2124 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2120 2125
2121 2126 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2122 2127
2123 2128 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2124 2129 setting with -d option.
2125 2130
2126 2131 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2127 2132 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2128 2133 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2129 2134 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2130 2135
2131 2136 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2132 2137
2133 2138 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2134 2139 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2135 2140
2136 2141 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2137 2142 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2138 2143 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2139 2144 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2140 2145 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2141 2146 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2142 2147 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2143 2148 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2144 2149 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2145 2150 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2146 2151 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2147 2152
2148 2153 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2149 2154
2150 2155 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2151 2156 cache when empty lines were present.
2152 2157
2153 2158 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2154 2159
2155 2160 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2156 2161 options for WX and GTK.
2157 2162
2158 2163 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2159 2164
2160 2165 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2161 2166 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2162 2167 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2163 2168 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2164 2169 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2165 2170 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2166 2171 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2167 2172
2168 2173 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2169 2174 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2170 2175
2171 2176 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2172 2177
2173 2178 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2174 2179 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2175 2180 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2176 2181 many thanks.
2177 2182
2178 2183 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2179 2184 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2180 2185 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2181 2186
2182 2187 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2183 2188
2184 2189 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2185 2190 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2186 2191 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2187 2192
2188 2193 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2189 2194
2190 2195 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2191 2196
2192 2197 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2193 2198 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2194 2199 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2195 2200
2196 2201 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2197 2202
2198 2203 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2199 2204 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2200 2205
2201 2206 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2202 2207
2203 2208 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2204 2209 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2205 2210 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2206 2211 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2207 2212 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2208 2213 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2209 2214 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2210 2215
2211 2216 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2212 2217
2213 2218 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2214 2219 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2215 2220 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2216 2221 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2217 2222
2218 2223 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2219 2224 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2220 2225
2221 2226 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2222 2227
2223 2228 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2224 2229 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2225 2230
2226 2231 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2227 2232 use throughout ipython.
2228 2233
2229 2234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2230 2235 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2231 2236
2232 2237 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2233 2238 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2234 2239 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2235 2240 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2236 2241
2237 2242 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2238 2243
2239 2244 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2240 2245 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2241 2246 report by Francesc Alted.
2242 2247
2243 2248 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2244 2249
2245 2250 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2246 2251 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2247 2252
2248 2253 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2249 2254
2250 2255 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2251 2256 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2252 2257 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2253 2258 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2254 2259 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2255 2260 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2256 2261 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2257 2262 correctly set.
2258 2263
2259 2264 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2260 2265
2261 2266 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2262 2267 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2263 2268 import requirement of PEP-328.
2264 2269
2265 2270 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2266 2271 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2267 2272 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2268 2273 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2269 2274
2270 2275 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2271 2276
2272 2277 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2273 2278
2274 2279 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2275 2280 via a normal python function call.
2276 2281
2277 2282 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2278 2283 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2279 2284 2.4.
2280 2285
2281 2286 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2282 2287
2283 2288 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2284 2289 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2285 2290 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2286 2291 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2287 2292 is given to the user).
2288 2293
2289 2294 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2290 2295
2291 2296 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2292 2297 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2293 2298 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2294 2299 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2295 2300
2296 2301 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2297 2302 python 2.2.
2298 2303
2299 2304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2300 2305 banner arg for embedded customization.
2301 2306
2302 2307 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2303 2308 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2304 2309 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2305 2310 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2306 2311 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2307 2312 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2308 2313
2309 2314 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2310 2315 minor changes to debian dir.
2311 2316
2312 2317 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2313 2318 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2314 2319 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2315 2320 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2316 2321
2317 2322 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2318 2323
2319 2324 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2320 2325 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2321 2326 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2322 2327 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2323 2328 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2324 2329
2325 2330 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2326 2331
2327 2332 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2328 2333 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2329 2334
2330 2335 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2331 2336
2332 2337 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2333 2338 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2334 2339
2335 2340 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2336 2341
2337 2342 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2338 2343
2339 2344 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2340 2345 updated.
2341 2346
2342 2347 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2343 2348
2344 2349 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2345 2350 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2346 2351 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2347 2352 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2348 2353 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2349 2354
2350 2355 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2351 2356 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2352 2357 split regexp. Closes
2353 2358 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2354 2359 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2355 2360 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2356 2361 extensions.
2357 2362
2358 2363 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2359 2364 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2360 2365 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2361 2366 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2362 2367 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2363 2368
2364 2369 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2365 2370 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2366 2371 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2367 2372 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2368 2373
2369 2374 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2370 2375 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2371 2376
2372 2377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2373 2378 fine-tune banner.
2374 2379
2375 2380 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2376 2381 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2377 2382
2378 2383 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2379 2384
2380 2385 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2381 2386 were missing.
2382 2387
2383 2388 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2384 2389 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2385 2390 valid at the command line.
2386 2391
2387 2392 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2388 2393 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2389 2394
2390 2395 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2391 2396
2392 2397 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2393 2398 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2394 2399 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2395 2400
2396 2401 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2397 2402
2398 2403 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2399 2404 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2400 2405 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2401 2406 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2402 2407 continue to use the standard profiler.
2403 2408
2404 2409 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2405 2410
2406 2411 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2407 2412 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2408 2413 close.
2409 2414
2410 2415 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2411 2416
2412 2417 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2413 2418 in Magic and ultraTB.
2414 2419
2415 2420 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2416 2421
2417 2422 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2418 2423 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2419 2424 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2420 2425 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2421 2426
2422 2427 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2423 2428 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2424 2429 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2425 2430 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2426 2431 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2427 2432 infrastructure in place.
2428 2433
2429 2434 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2430 2435
2431 2436 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2432 2437
2433 2438 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2434 2439 the pylab profile.
2435 2440
2436 2441 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2437 2442
2438 2443 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2439 2444
2440 2445 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2441 2446 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2442 2447 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2443 2448 itself.
2444 2449
2445 2450 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2446 2451 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2447 2452 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2448 2453 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2449 2454 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2450 2455 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2451 2456 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2452 2457 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2453 2458
2454 2459 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2455 2460 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2456 2461
2457 2462 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2458 2463
2459 2464 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2460 2465 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2461 2466 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2462 2467
2463 2468 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2464 2469
2465 2470 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2466 2471 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2467 2472
2468 2473 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2469 2474
2470 2475 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2471 2476
2472 2477 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2473 2478
2474 2479 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2475 2480
2476 2481 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2477 2482 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2478 2483 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2479 2484
2480 2485 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2481 2486
2482 2487 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2483 2488 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2484 2489 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2485 2490 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2486 2491 works.
2487 2492
2488 2493 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2489 2494 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2490 2495 practice.
2491 2496
2492 2497 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2493 2498
2494 2499 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2495 2500 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2496 2501 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2497 2502
2498 2503 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>

2500 2505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2501 2506 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2502 2507 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2503 2508 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2504 2509
2505 2510 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2506 2511
2507 2512 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2508 2513 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2509 2514 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2510 2515 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2511 2516
2512 2517 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2513 2518
2514 2519 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2515 2520
2516 2521 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2517 2522 fail for any number.
2518 2523 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2519 2524 empty bookmarks.
2520 2525
2521 2526 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2522 2527
2523 2528 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2524 2529
2525 2530 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2526 2531
2527 2532 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2528 2533 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2529 2534
2530 2535 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2531 2536 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2532 2537
2533 2538 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2534 2539
2535 2540 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2536 2541 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2537 2542 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2538 2543 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2539 2544 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2540 2545
2541 2546 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2542 2547
2543 2548 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2544 2549 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2545 2550
2546 2551 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2547 2552
2548 2553 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2549 2554 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2550 2555 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2551 2556 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2552 2557
2553 2558 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2554 2559 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2555 2560 Schmolck.
2556 2561
2557 2562 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2558 2563
2559 2564 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2560 2565
2561 2566 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2562 2567 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2563 2568
2564 2569 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2565 2570 optimizations.
2566 2571
2567 2572 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2568 2573 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2569 2574
2570 2575 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2571 2576 --Started changelog.
2572 2577 --make clear do what it say it does
2573 2578 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2574 2579 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2575 2580 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2576 2581 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2577 2582 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2578 2583 can be done for other cases.
2579 2584 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2580 2585 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2581 2586 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2582 2587
2583 2588 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2584 2589 --added logfile rotation
2585 2590 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2586 2591
2587 2592 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2588 2593 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2589 2594 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2590 2595 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2591 2596 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2592 2597 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2593 2598 --added global logfile option
2594 2599 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2595 2600 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2596 2601
2597 2602 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2598 2603 --added a README
2599 2604 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2600 2605 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2601 2606 bug or feature.
2602 2607 --changed rc file for new behavior
2603 2608
2604 2609 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2605 2610
2606 2611 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2607 2612 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2608 2613 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2609 2614
2610 2615 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2611 2616 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2612 2617
2613 2618 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2614 2619
2615 2620 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2616 2621 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2617 2622 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2618 2623 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2619 2624 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2620 2625 and prepended with a #.
2621 2626
2622 2627 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2623 2628 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2624 2629
2625 2630 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2626 2631
2627 2632 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2628 2633 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2629 2634
2630 2635 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2631 2636
2632 2637 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2633 2638 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2634 2639
2635 2640 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2636 2641
2637 2642 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2638 2643 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2639 2644 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2640 2645
2641 2646 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2642 2647
2643 2648 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2644 2649 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2645 2650
2646 2651 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2647 2652 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2648 2653 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2649 2654 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2650 2655 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2651 2656 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2652 2657 be implemented later).
2653 2658
2654 2659 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2655 2660 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2656 2661 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2657 2662 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2658 2663
2659 2664 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2660 2665 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2661 2666 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2662 2667
2663 2668 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2664 2669 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2665 2670
2666 2671 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2667 2672 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2668 2673 readline make it impossible to go further.
2669 2674
2670 2675 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2671 2676
2672 2677 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2673 2678 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2674 2679
2675 2680 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2676 2681
2677 2682 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2678 2683 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2679 2684 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2680 2685 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2681 2686
2682 2687 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2683 2688 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2684 2689 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2685 2690 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2686 2691
2687 2692 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2688 2693 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2689 2694 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2690 2695 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2691 2696 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2692 2697 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2693 2698 problem.
2694 2699
2695 2700 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2696 2701 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2697 2702
2698 2703 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2699 2704 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2700 2705 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2701 2706
2702 2707 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2703 2708
2704 2709 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2705 2710 continue prompts.
2706 2711
2707 2712 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2708 2713 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2709 2714 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2710 2715 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2711 2716 byte-compilation saves time.
2712 2717
2713 2718 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2714 2719
2715 2720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2716 2721 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2717 2722
2718 2723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2719 2724 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2720 2725
2721 2726 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2722 2727 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2723 2728 common cases where it's a problem.
2724 2729
2725 2730 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2726 2731
2727 2732 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2728 2733 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2729 2734 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2730 2735 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2731 2736 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2732 2737 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2733 2738
2734 2739 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2735 2740
2736 2741 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2737 2742 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2738 2743
2739 2744 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2740 2745 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2741 2746 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2742 2747 structure as win_exec_ext.
2743 2748
2744 2749 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2745 2750 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2746 2751
2747 2752 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2748 2753 delete aliases.
2749 2754
2750 2755 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
2751 2756 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
2752 2757
2753 2758 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2754 2759
2755 2760 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
2756 2761 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
2757 2762
2758 2763 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2759 2764
2760 2765 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
2761 2766 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
2762 2767
2763 2768 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
2764 2769 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
2765 2770
2766 2771 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
2767 2772 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
2768 2773 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
2769 2774 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
2770 2775 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
2771 2776 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
2772 2777
2773 2778 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
2774 2779 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
2775 2780 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
2776 2781
2777 2782 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
2778 2783 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
2779 2784 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
2780 2785
2781 2786 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
2782 2787 via an extra $. For example:
2783 2788
2784 2789 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
2785 2790
2786 2791 In [8]: !echo $PATH
2787 2792 a python variable
2788 2793
2789 2794 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
2790 2795 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
2791 2796
2792 2797 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
2793 2798 things prematurely.
2794 2799
2795 2800 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
2796 2801 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
2797 2802
2798 2803 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
2799 2804 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
2800 2805 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
2801 2806 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
2802 2807 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
2803 2808 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
2804 2809 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
2805 2810 programs in the user's path is obtained.
2806 2811
2807 2812 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
2808 2813 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
2809 2814 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
2810 2815 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
2811 2816 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
2812 2817 with the old system).
2813 2818
2814 2819 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2815 2820
2816 2821 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
2817 2822 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
2818 2823
2819 2824 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
2820 2825 call to eval.
2821 2826 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
2822 2827 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
2823 2828 in.
2824 2829
2825 2830 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2826 2831
2827 2832 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
2828 2833 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
2829 2834 confusion).
2830 2835
2831 2836 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
2832 2837 check for Windows users.
2833 2838
2834 2839 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
2835 2840 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
2836 2841 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
2837 2842 download it.
2838 2843
2839 2844 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2840 2845
2841 2846 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
2842 2847 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
2843 2848 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
2844 2849 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
2845 2850 of IDLE's out).
2846 2851
2847 2852 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
2848 2853 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
2849 2854 eventually.
2850 2855 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
2851 2856
2852 2857 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2853 2858
2854 2859 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
2855 2860 list of auto-defined aliases.
2856 2861
2857 2862 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2858 2863
2859 2864 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
2860 2865 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
2861 2866 things under Windows).
2862 2867
2863 2868 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2864 2869
2865 2870 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
2866 2871 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
2867 2872 reported by Thorsten.
2868 2873
2869 2874 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2870 2875
2871 2876 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
2872 2877 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
2873 2878 for all examples and the manual as well.
2874 2879
2875 2880 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2876 2881
2877 2882 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
2878 2883 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
2879 2884 inherit from BasePrompt.
2880 2885
2881 2886 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
2882 2887 with python version (since paths are fixed).
2883 2888
2884 2889 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
2885 2890 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
2886 2891 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
2887 2892 defaults.
2888 2893 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
2889 2894 this fix manually!
2890 2895
2891 2896 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
2892 2897 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
2893 2898 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
2894 2899 distutils).
2895 2900
2896 2901 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
2897 2902 usage of new '\D' escape.
2898 2903
2899 2904 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
2900 2905 lacks os.getuid())
2901 2906 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
2902 2907 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
2903 2908 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
2904 2909 handling mechanism.
2905 2910 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
2906 2911 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
2907 2912 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
2908 2913 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
2909 2914 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
2910 2915 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
2911 2916 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
2912 2917
2913 2918 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2914 2919
2915 2920 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
2916 2921 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
2917 2922 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
2918 2923
2919 2924 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
2920 2925 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
2921 2926 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
2922 2927 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
2923 2928 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
2924 2929 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
2925 2930 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
2926 2931 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2927 2932
2928 2933 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
2929 2934 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
2930 2935 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
2931 2936 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
2932 2937 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
2933 2938 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
2934 2939 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
2935 2940 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
2936 2941
2937 2942 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
2938 2943 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
2939 2944 functions uniform.
2940 2945 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
2941 2946
2942 2947 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
2943 2948 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
2944 2949 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
2945 2950 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
2946 2951 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
2947 2952 use to parse their options.
2948 2953
2949 2954 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
2950 2955 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
2951 2956 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
2952 2957
2953 2958 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
2954 2959 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
2955 2960 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
2956 2961 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
2957 2962 via the prompt_specials.
2958 2963
2959 2964 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2960 2965
2961 2966 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
2962 2967 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
2963 2968 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
2964 2969 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
2965 2970 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
2966 2971 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2967 2972 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
2968 2973 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
2969 2974
2970 2975 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2971 2976
2972 2977 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
2973 2978 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
2974 2979 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
2975 2980
2976 2981 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2977 2982
2978 2983 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
2979 2984 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
2980 2985
2981 2986 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2982 2987
2983 2988 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
2984 2989 parens would get passed to the shell.
2985 2990
2986 2991 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2987 2992
2988 2993 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
2989 2994 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
2990 2995
2991 2996 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
2992 2997 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
2993 2998 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
2994 2999 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
2995 3000 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
2996 3001
2997 3002 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
2998 3003 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
2999 3004 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3000 3005 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3001 3006
3002 3007 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3003 3008
3004 3009 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3005 3010
3006 3011 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3007 3012 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3008 3013 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3009 3014
3010 3015 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3011 3016 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3012 3017 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3013 3018 official documentation.
3014 3019
3015 3020 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3016 3021
3017 3022 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3018 3023 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3019 3024 explicit filename.
3020 3025
3021 3026 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3022 3027
3023 3028 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3024 3029 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3025 3030 case.
3026 3031
3027 3032 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3028 3033 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3029 3034 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3030 3035
3031 3036 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3032 3037
3033 3038 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3034 3039
3035 3040 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3036 3041 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3037 3042 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3038 3043 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3039 3044 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3040 3045 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3041 3046 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3042 3047 any changes to python proper.
3043 3048
3044 3049 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3045 3050 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3046 3051 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3047 3052 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3048 3053 Schmolck.
3049 3054
3050 3055 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3056
3052 3057 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3053 3058 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3054 3059 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3055 3060 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3056 3061
3057 3062 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3058 3063
3059 3064 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3060 3065 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3061 3066 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3062 3067 name).
3063 3068
3064 3069 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3065 3070 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3066 3071 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3067 3072 Francois Pinard.
3068 3073
3069 3074 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3075
3071 3076 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3072 3077 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3073 3078 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3074 3079 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3075 3080 not work.
3076 3081
3077 3082 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3078 3083
3079 3084 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3080 3085 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3081 3086 distinguishes stdout/err.
3082 3087
3083 3088 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3084 3089 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3085 3090 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3086 3091 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3087 3092 the standard library.
3088 3093
3089 3094 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3090 3095 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3091 3096
3092 3097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3093 3098 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3094 3099
3095 3100 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3096 3101
3097 3102 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3098 3103 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3099 3104 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3100 3105 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3101 3106 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3102 3107 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3103 3108
3104 3109 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3105 3110
3106 3111 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3107 3112 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3108 3113 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3109 3114 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3110 3115
3111 3116 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3112 3117
3113 3118 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3114 3119 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3115 3120 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3116 3121 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3117 3122
3118 3123 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3119 3124
3120 3125 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3121 3126 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3122 3127 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3123 3128 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3124 3129 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3125 3130 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3126 3131 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3127 3132 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3128 3133
3129 3134 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3130 3135
3131 3136 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3132 3137 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3133 3138
3134 3139 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3135 3140
3136 3141 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3137 3142 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3138 3143 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3139 3144 very short.
3140 3145
3141 3146 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3142 3147
3143 3148 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3144 3149 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3145 3150 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3146 3151 this before making it permanent.
3147 3152
3148 3153 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3149 3154 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3150 3155 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3151 3156 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3152 3157
3153 3158 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3154 3159
3155 3160 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3156 3161 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3157 3162
3158 3163 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3159 3164
3160 3165 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3161 3166 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3162 3167 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3163 3168 cases I've missed.
3164 3169
3165 3170 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3166 3171
3167 3172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3168 3173 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3169 3174 system would be triggered for @p.
3170 3175
3171 3176 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3172 3177 cleanups, code unmodified.
3173 3178
3174 3179 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3175 3180 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3176 3181 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3177 3182 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3178 3183 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3179 3184 The actual changes affect many files.
3180 3185
3181 3186 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3182 3187
3183 3188 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3184 3189 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3185 3190 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3186 3191
3187 3192 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3188 3193
3189 3194 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3190 3195 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3191 3196
3192 3197 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3193 3198
3194 3199 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3195 3200 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3196 3201 numpy list.
3197 3202
3198 3203 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3199 3204
3200 3205 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3201 3206 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3202 3207 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3203 3208 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3204 3209
3205 3210 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3206 3211
3207 3212 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3208 3213 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3209 3214 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3210 3215 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3211 3216
3212 3217 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3213 3218 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3214 3219
3215 3220 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3216 3221
3217 3222 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3218 3223 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3219 3224 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3220 3225 Collins.
3221 3226
3222 3227 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3223 3228
3224 3229 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3225 3230
3226 3231 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3227 3232 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3228 3233 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3229 3234
3230 3235 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3231 3236
3232 3237 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3233 3238 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3234 3239 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3235 3240 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3238 3243 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3239 3244 __getitem__ and __call__.
3240 3245
3241 3246 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3242 3247
3243 3248 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3244 3249
3245 3250 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3246 3251 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3247 3252 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3248 3253 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3249 3254
3250 3255 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3251 3256 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3252 3257 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3253 3258 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3254 3259 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3255 3260 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3256 3261 necessary.
3257 3262
3258 3263 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3259 3264 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3260 3265 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3261 3266
3262 3267 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3263 3268 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3264 3269 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3265 3270 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3266 3271
3267 3272 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3268 3273 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3269 3274 generators.
3270 3275
3271 3276 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3272 3277 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3273 3278 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3274 3279 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3275 3280 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3276 3281 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3277 3282 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3278 3283
3279 3284 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3280 3285 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3281 3286 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3282 3287 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3283 3288 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3284 3289
3285 3290 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3286 3291 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3287 3292 edit under some circumstances.
3288 3293 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3289 3294 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3290 3295 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3291 3296 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3292 3297 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3293 3298 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3294 3299 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3295 3300 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3296 3301 need more testing.
3297 3302
3298 3303 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3299 3304
3300 3305 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3301 3306 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3302 3307 and simpler code.
3303 3308
3304 3309 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3305 3310
3306 3311 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3307 3312 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3308 3313 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3309 3314 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3310 3315 even if they were contiguous.
3311 3316 (l1norm): Added this function.
3312 3317 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3313 3318 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3314 3319 and speed.
3315 3320
3316 3321 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3317 3322
3318 3323 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3319 3324 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3320 3325 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3321 3326
3322 3327 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3323 3328
3324 3329 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3325 3330 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3326 3331 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3327 3332
3328 3333 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3329 3334 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3330 3335 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3331 3336
3332 3337 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3333 3338
3334 3339 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3335 3340 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3336 3341 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3337 3342 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3338 3343 activity.
3339 3344
3340 3345 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3341 3346
3342 3347 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3343 3348 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3344 3349 Numeric.identity)
3345 3350
3346 3351 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3352
3348 3353 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3349 3354 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3350 3355 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3351 3356
3352 3357 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3353 3358
3354 3359 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3355 3360 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3356 3361 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3357 3362 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3358 3363
3359 3364 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3360 3365 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3361 3366 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3362 3367 is implemented).
3363 3368
3364 3369 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3365 3370
3366 3371 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3367 3372 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3368 3373 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3369 3374
3370 3375 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3371 3376 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3372 3377 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3373 3378 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3374 3379 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3375 3380
3376 3381 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3377 3382
3378 3383 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3384
3380 3385 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3381 3386 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3382 3387 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3383 3388
3384 3389 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3385 3390
3386 3391 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3387 3392 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3388 3393 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3389 3394
3390 3395 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3391 3396 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3392 3397 crash report from Prabhu.
3393 3398
3394 3399 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3395 3400
3396 3401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3397 3402 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3398 3403 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3399 3404 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3400 3405 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3401 3406 also be useful in other cases.
3402 3407
3403 3408 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3404 3409 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3405 3410 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3406 3411
3407 3412 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3408 3413
3409 3414 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3415
3411 3416 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3412 3417 installing for a new user under Windows.
3413 3418
3414 3419 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3415 3420
3416 3421 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3417 3422 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3418 3423 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3419 3424 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3420 3425 there.
3421 3426
3422 3427 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3423 3428 info to crash reports.
3424 3429
3425 3430 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3426 3431 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3427 3432 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3428 3433 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3429 3434
3430 3435 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3436
3432 3437 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3433 3438 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3434 3439 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3435 3440 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3436 3441
3437 3442 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3438 3443
3439 3444 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3440 3445 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3441 3446
3442 3447 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3443 3448
3444 3449 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3445 3450 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3446 3451
3447 3452 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3448 3453
3449 3454 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3450 3455
3451 3456 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3452 3457 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3453 3458 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3454 3459
3455 3460 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3456 3461 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3457 3462 with the new auto-indent option.
3458 3463
3459 3464 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3460 3465
3461 3466 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3462 3467 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3463 3468 this class from the main Shell class.
3464 3469
3465 3470 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3466 3471 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3467 3472 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3468 3473 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3469 3474 option).
3470 3475
3471 3476 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3472 3477 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3473 3478 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3474 3479 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3475 3480 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3476 3481
3477 3482 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3478 3483 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3479 3484 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3480 3485
3481 3486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3482 3487 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3483 3488 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3484 3489 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3485 3490 tracebacks.
3486 3491
3487 3492 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3488 3493 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3489 3494 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
3490 3495
3491 3496 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3492 3497
3493 3498 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3494 3499 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3495 3500 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3496 3501 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3497 3502
3498 3503 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3499 3504
3500 3505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3501 3506 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3502 3507 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3503 3508 for the bug report.
3504 3509
3505 3510 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3506 3511
3507 3512 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3508 3513 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3509 3514 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3510 3515 report.
3511 3516
3512 3517 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3513 3518
3514 3519 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3515 3520 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3516 3521 end).
3517 3522
3518 3523 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3519 3524 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3520 3525 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3521 3526
3522 3527 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3523 3528
3524 3529 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3525 3530 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3526 3531 for the patch.
3527 3532
3528 3533 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3529 3534
3530 3535 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3531 3536 functions.
3532 3537
3533 3538 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

3535 3540 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3536 3541
3537 3542 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3538 3543 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3539 3544 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3540 3545 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3541 3546 private fix.
3542 3547
3543 3548 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3544 3549 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3545 3550 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3546 3551 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3547 3552 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3548 3553 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3549 3554 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3550 3555 fixed for this setup.
3551 3556
3552 3557 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3553 3558 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3554 3559
3555 3560 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3556 3561
3557 3562 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3558 3563
3559 3564 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3560 3565 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3561 3566 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3562 3567 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3563 3568 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3564 3569 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3565 3570 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3566 3571 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3567 3572 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3568 3573
3569 3574 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3570 3575 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3571 3576 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.

3573 3578 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3574 3579
3575 3580 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3576 3581
3577 3582 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3578 3583 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3579 3584 pickle-related issue in @run).
3580 3585
3581 3586 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3582 3587
3583 3588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3584 3589 the autocall option at runtime.
3585 3590 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3586 3591 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3587 3592 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3588 3593 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3589 3594 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3590 3595 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3591 3596 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3592 3597 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3593 3598 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3594 3599 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3595 3600 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3596 3601 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3597 3602 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3598 3603 pickles to save something sensible.
3599 3604
3600 3605 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3601 3606
3602 3607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3603 3608 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3604 3609 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3605 3610
3606 3611 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3607 3612
3608 3613 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3609 3614 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3610 3615
3611 3616 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3612 3617
3613 3618 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3614 3619 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3615 3620 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3616 3621 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3617 3622
3618 3623 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3619 3624
3620 3625 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3621 3626 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3622 3627 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3623 3628 array is non-contiguous.
3624 3629
3625 3630 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3626 3631
3627 3632 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3628 3633 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3629 3634 executed).
3630 3635 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3631 3636 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3632 3637 output.
3633 3638 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3634 3639 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3635 3640 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3636 3641 changing.
3637 3642
3638 3643 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3639 3644
3640 3645 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3641 3646
3642 3647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3643 3648 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3644 3649 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3645 3650 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3646 3651 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3647 3652 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3648 3653 like a normal command-line.
3649 3654
3650 3655 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3651 3656 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3652 3657 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3653 3658 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3654 3659
3655 3660 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3656 3661
3657 3662 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3658 3663 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3659 3664 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3660 3665 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3661 3666
3662 3667 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3663 3668
3664 3669 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3665 3670 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3666 3671 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3667 3672 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3668 3673 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3669 3674 think it's worth doing.
3670 3675
3671 3676 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
3672 3677
3673 3678 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3674 3679
3675 3680 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3676 3681 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3677 3682
3678 3683 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3679 3684 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3680 3685 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3681 3686 also work ok.
3682 3687
3683 3688 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
3684 3689
3685 3690 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3686 3691
3687 3692 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3688 3693
3689 3694 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3690 3695 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3691 3696 of gnuplot data files.
3692 3697
3693 3698 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3694 3699
3695 3700 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3696 3701 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3697 3702
3698 3703 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3699 3704
3700 3705 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3701 3706 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3702 3707 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3703 3708 for pointing this out.
3704 3709
3705 3710 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3706 3711
3707 3712 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3708 3713
3709 3714 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3710 3715 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3711 3716 Interactive.
3712 3717
3713 3718 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3714 3719 being imported from iplib.
3715 3720
3716 3721 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3717 3722 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3718 3723 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3719 3724 common name.
3720 3725
3721 3726 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3722 3727 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3723 3728
3724 3729 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3725 3730 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3726 3731
3727 3732 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3728 3733 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3729 3734 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3730 3735 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3731 3736 docstrings).
3732 3737
3733 3738 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3734 3739
3735 3740 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3736 3741 (inconsistent with options).
3737 3742
3738 3743 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3739 3744 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3740 3745 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3741 3746 eps output.
3742 3747
3743 3748 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3744 3749
3745 3750 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3746 3751 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3747 3752 Pinard.
3748 3753
3749 3754 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3750 3755
3751 3756 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
3752 3757 history file for new users.
3753 3758 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
3754 3759 user running in the .ipython dir.
3755 3760 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
3756 3761 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
3757 3762 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
3758 3763
3759 3764 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
3760 3765 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
3761 3766 consistently.
3762 3767
3763 3768 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
3764 3769 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
3765 3770 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
3766 3771 libraries I don't have access to.
3767 3772
3768 3773 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
3769 3774 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
3770 3775 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
3771 3776 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
3772 3777 report.
3773 3778
3774 3779 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3775 3780
3776 3781 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
3777 3782 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
3778 3783 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
3779 3784 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
3780 3785
3781 3786 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3782 3787
3783 3788 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
3784 3789 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
3785 3790 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
3786 3791 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
3787 3792 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
3788 3793 instance has been created.
3789 3794
3790 3795 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
3791 3796 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
3792 3797 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
3793 3798 dict by hand.
3794 3799
3795 3800 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3796 3801
3797 3802 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
3798 3803 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
3799 3804 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
3800 3805 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
3801 3806 broken.
3802 3807
3803 3808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
3804 3809 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
3805 3810 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
3806 3811 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
3807 3812
3808 3813 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
3809 3814 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
3810 3815 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
3811 3816 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
3812 3817 is a valid one.
3813 3818
3814 3819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
3815 3820 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
3816 3821 confirmation to have yes as the default.
3817 3822
3818 3823 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
3819 3824 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
3820 3825 simply leftover junk.
3821 3826
3822 3827 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3823 3828
3824 3829 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
3825 3830 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
3826 3831 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
3827 3832
3828 3833 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
3829 3834 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
3830 3835 exceptions.
3831 3836
3832 3837 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3833 3838
3834 3839 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
3835 3840 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
3836 3841 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
3837 3842 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
3838 3843 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
3839 3844
3840 3845 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
3841 3846 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
3842 3847
3843 3848 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
3844 3849 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
3845 3850 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
3846 3851 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
3847 3852 problem mentioned below.
3848 3853
3849 3854 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3850 3855
3851 3856 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
3852 3857 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
3853 3858
3854 3859 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
3855 3860 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
3856 3861 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
3857 3862 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
3858 3863 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
3859 3864
3860 3865 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
3861 3866 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
3862 3867 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
3863 3868 actual function names.
3864 3869
3865 3870 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
3866 3871 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
3867 3872 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
3868 3873 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
3869 3874 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
3870 3875 really be only function/method names.
3871 3876
3872 3877 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3873 3878
3874 3879 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
3875 3880 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
3876 3881 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
3877 3882
3878 3883 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3879 3884
3880 3885 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
3881 3886 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
3882 3887 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
3883 3888
3884 3889 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
3885 3890 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3886 3891
3887 3892 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
3888 3893 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
3889 3894 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
3890 3895
3891 3896 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
3892 3897 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
3893 3898 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
3894 3899
3895 3900 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
3896 3901 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
3897 3902 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
3898 3903
3899 3904 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3900 3905
3901 3906 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
3902 3907 Gnuplot.File objects.
3903 3908
3904 3909 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3905 3910
3906 3911 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
3907 3912 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
3908 3913 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
3909 3914
3910 3915 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3911 3916
3912 3917 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
3913 3918 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
3914 3919
3915 3920 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
3916 3921 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
3917 3922
3918 3923 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
3919 3924 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
3920 3925
3921 3926 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3927
3923 3928 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
3924 3929 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
3925 3930 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
3926 3931 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
3927 3932
3928 3933 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3929 3934
3930 3935 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
3931 3936 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
3932 3937 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
3933 3938
3934 3939 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3935 3940
3936 3941 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
3937 3942 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
3938 3943 workaround).
3939 3944
3940 3945 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3941 3946
3942 3947 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
3943 3948 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
3944 3949
3945 3950 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3946 3951
3947 3952 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
3948 3953 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
3949 3954
3950 3955 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
3951 3956 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
3952 3957 .strip() is called on it.
3953 3958
3954 3959
3955 3960 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3956 3961
3957 3962 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
3958 3963 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
3959 3964 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
3960 3965
3961 3966 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
3962 3967 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
3963 3968
3964 3969 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
3965 3970 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
3966 3971 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
3967 3972
3968 3973 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3969 3974
3970 3975 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
3971 3976 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
3972 3977 __main__.
3973 3978
3974 3979 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
3975 3980 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
3976 3981
3977 3982 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
3978 3983 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
3979 3984 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
3980 3985 Mathematica behaves.
3981 3986
3982 3987 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3983 3988
3984 3989 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
3985 3990 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
3986 3991
3987 3992 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
3988 3993 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
3989 3994 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
3990 3995
3991 3996 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
3992 3997 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
3993 3998
3994 3999 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3995 4000
3996 4001 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
3997 4002 underflow problems in Numeric.
3998 4003 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
3999 4004 for exact integer powers of 2.
4000 4005
4001 4006 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4002 4007 properly.
4003 4008
4004 4009 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4005 4010
4006 4011 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4007 4012 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4008 4013
4009 4014 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4010 4015
4011 4016 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4012 4017 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4013 4018
4014 4019 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4020
4016 4021 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4017 4022 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4018 4023 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4019 4024 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4020 4025 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4021 4026 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4022 4027 times).
4023 4028
4024 4029 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4025 4030 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4026 4031 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4027 4032
4028 4033 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4029 4034
4030 4035 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4031 4036 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4032 4037 embedded code.
4033 4038
4034 4039 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4035 4040 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4036 4041 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4037 4042
4038 4043 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4039 4044 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4040 4045 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4041 4046 less special-casing to remember.
4042 4047
4043 4048 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4044 4049
4045 4050 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4046 4051 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4047 4052 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4048 4053 arg is not a defined object.
4049 4054 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4050 4055 a Mike Heeter idea.
4051 4056
4052 4057 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4053 4058 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4054 4059 interactive use.
4055 4060
4056 4061 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4057 4062 filenames.
4058 4063
4059 4064 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4065
4061 4066 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4062 4067 initialization via another struct.
4063 4068
4064 4069 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4065 4070 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4066 4071
4067 4072 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4073
4069 4074 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4070 4075 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4071 4076 too big).
4072 4077
4073 4078 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4074 4079
4075 4080 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4076 4081 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4077 4082 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4078 4083 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4079 4084
4080 4085 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4086
4082 4087 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4083 4088 macros having broken.
4084 4089
4085 4090 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4086 4091
4087 4092 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4088 4093 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4089 4094 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4090 4095 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4091 4096 not to lists.
4092 4097
4093 4098 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4099
4095 4100 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4096 4101 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4097 4102 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4098 4103
4099 4104 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4100 4105 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4101 4106
4102 4107 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4103 4108 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4104 4109 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4105 4110
4106 4111 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4107 4112 triple-quoted strings.
4108 4113
4109 4114 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4110 4115 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4111 4116 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4112 4117 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4113 4118 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4114 4119 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4115 4120
4116 4121 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4117 4122
4118 4123 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4119 4124 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4120 4125 ultraTB).
4121 4126
4122 4127 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4123 4128
4124 4129 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4125 4130 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4126 4131 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4127 4132 user's 'g' variables).
4128 4133
4129 4134 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4130 4135 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4131 4136 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4132 4137 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4133 4138 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4134 4139 macros.
4135 4140
4136 4141 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4142
4138 4143 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4139 4144 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4140 4145
4141 4146 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4142 4147 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4143 4148 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4144 4149
4145 4150 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4146 4151
4147 4152 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4148 4153 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4149 4154 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4150 4155 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4151 4156 aliases.
4152 4157
4153 4158 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4154 4159
4155 4160 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4156 4161 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4157 4162 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4158 4163 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4159 4164
4160 4165 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4161 4166
4162 4167 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4163 4168 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4164 4169 user-defined functions overrode them.
4165 4170
4166 4171 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4167 4172
4168 4173 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4169 4174 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4170 4175
4171 4176 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4172 4177
4173 4178 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4174 4179 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4175 4180 IPython.
4176 4181
4177 4182 * Released 0.2.13
4178 4183
4179 4184 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4180 4185 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4181 4186 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4182 4187 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4183 4188
4184 4189 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4185 4190
4186 4191 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4187 4192 magic properly formatted for screen.
4188 4193
4189 4194 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4190 4195 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4191 4196
4192 4197 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4193 4198 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4194 4199 etc.)
4195 4200
4196 4201 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4202
4198 4203 * Released 0.2.12
4199 4204
4200 4205 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4201 4206
4202 4207 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4203 4208 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4204 4209 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4205 4210 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4206 4211 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4207 4212 an alias to @run -i.
4208 4213
4209 4214 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4210 4215 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4211 4216
4212 4217 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4213 4218
4214 4219 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4215 4220 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4216 4221 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4217 4222
4218 4223 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4219 4224 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4220 4225 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4221 4226 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4222 4227 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4223 4228 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4224 4229 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4225 4230
4226 4231 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4227 4232
4228 4233 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4229 4234 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4230 4235 printed).
4231 4236
4232 4237 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4233 4238 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4234 4239 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4235 4240
4236 4241 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4237 4242 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4238 4243
4239 4244 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4240 4245 handle magic commands in them.
4241 4246 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4242 4247 ~/mylog' now works.
4243 4248
4244 4249 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4245 4250 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4246 4251
4247 4252 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4248 4253
4249 4254 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4250 4255 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4251 4256
4252 4257 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4253 4258 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4254 4259 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4255 4260 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4256 4261 variables are in the context of an exception.
4257 4262 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4258 4263 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4259 4264
4260 4265 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4261 4266 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4262 4267
4263 4268 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4264 4269
4265 4270 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4266 4271 magics can parse options easier.
4267 4272 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4268 4273 suggested by Chris Hart.
4269 4274 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4270 4275 directory actually is in history.
4271 4276
4272 4277 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4273 4278 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4274 4279 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4275 4280
4276 4281 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4277 4282 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4278 4283 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4279 4284 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4280 4285
4281 4286 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4282 4287
4283 4288 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4284 4289 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4285 4290
4286 4291 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4287 4292 text (was a bug).
4288 4293
4289 4294 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4290 4295
4291 4296 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4292 4297 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4293 4298 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4294 4299
4295 4300 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4296 4301
4297 4302 * Released 0.2.10
4298 4303
4299 4304 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4300 4305
4301 4306 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4302 4307 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4303 4308
4304 4309 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4305 4310
4306 4311 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4307 4312 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4308 4313
4309 4314 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4310 4315
4311 4316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4312 4317 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4313 4318 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4314 4319 __init__.py)
4315 4320
4316 4321 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4317 4322
4318 4323 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4319 4324 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4320 4325 test for being inside IPython.
4321 4326
4322 4327 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4323 4328 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4324 4329 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4325 4330 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4326 4331
4327 4332 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4328 4333
4329 4334 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4330 4335 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4331 4336 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4332 4337
4333 4338 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4334 4339 embedding example to standard user directory for
4335 4340 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4336 4341
4337 4342 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4338 4343 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4339 4344 hidden global).
4340 4345
4341 4346 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4342 4347 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4343 4348 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4344 4349 case.
4345 4350
4346 4351 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4352
4348 4353 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4349 4354 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4350 4355 start.
4351 4356
4352 4357 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4353 4358 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4354 4359 Numeric or math.
4355 4360
4356 4361 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4357 4362 provided profiles. Now we have:
4358 4363 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4359 4364 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4360 4365 -physics -> same as before
4361 4366
4362 4367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4363 4368 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4364 4369 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4365 4370 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4366 4371 string adds).
4367 4372
4368 4373 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4369 4374 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4370 4375 line with the gnuplot code).
4371 4376
4372 4377 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4373 4378
4374 4379 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4375 4380 all included files change.
4376 4381
4377 4382 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4378 4383 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4379 4384
4380 4385 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4381 4386 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4382 4387 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4383 4388
4384 4389 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4385 4390 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4386 4391
4387 4392 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4388 4393 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4389 4394
4390 4395 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4391 4396 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4392 4397 now accessible.
4393 4398
4394 4399 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4395 4400 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4396 4401 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4397 4402 removed.
4398 4403 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4399 4404 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4400 4405 don't crash.
4401 4406 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4402 4407 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4403 4408 remains available.
4404 4409
4405 4410 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4406 4411
4407 4412 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4408 4413
4409 4414 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4415
4411 4416 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4412 4417 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4413 4418 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4414 4419 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4415 4420
4416 4421 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4417 4422
4418 4423 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4419 4424 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4420 4425 sync with the output counter.
4421 4426
4422 4427 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4423 4428 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4424 4429
4425 4430 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4426 4431
4427 4432 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4428 4433 readline, fix it back after each call.
4429 4434
4430 4435 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4431 4436 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4432 4437 traceback references are properly deleted.
4433 4438
4434 4439 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4435 4440 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4436 4441
4437 4442 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4438 4443
4439 4444 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4440 4445 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4441 4446 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4442 4447 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4443 4448 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4444 4449 to catch SystemExit).
4445 4450
4446 4451 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4447 4452 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4448 4453 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4449 4454 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4450 4455 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4451 4456 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4452 4457
4453 4458 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4454 4459
4455 4460 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4456 4461 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4457 4462 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4458 4463
4459 4464 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4460 4465 configurable (it should have always been so).
4461 4466
4462 4467 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4463 4468
4464 4469 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4465 4470 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4466 4471 done in a more elegant way.
4467 4472
4468 4473 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4469 4474
4470 4475 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4471 4476 win9x also.
4472 4477
4473 4478 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4474 4479
4475 4480 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4476 4481 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4477 4482
4478 4483 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4479 4484
4480 4485 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4481 4486
4482 4487 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4483 4488 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4484 4489
4485 4490 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4486 4491 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4487 4492
4488 4493 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4489 4494 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4490 4495
4491 4496 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4492 4497 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4493 4498
4494 4499 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4495 4500
4496 4501 * Released 0.2.8
4497 4502
4498 4503 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4499 4504 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4500 4505 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4501 4506 on' so that the first tab completes.
4502 4507 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4503 4508 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4504 4509
4505 4510 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4506 4511 installation.
4507 4512
4508 4513 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4509 4514 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4510 4515
4511 4516 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4512 4517
4513 4518 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4514 4519 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4515 4520 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4516 4521
4517 4522 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4518 4523 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4519 4524
4520 4525 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4521 4526 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4522 4527 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4523 4528 suggestion.
4524 4529
4525 4530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4526 4531 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4527 4532 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4528 4533
4529 4534 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4530 4535 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4531 4536
4532 4537 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4533 4538
4534 4539 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4535 4540 which properly handles things for windows users.
4536 4541
4537 4542 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4538 4543
4539 4544 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4540 4545 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4541 4546 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4542 4547 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4543 4548 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4544 4549
4545 4550 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4546 4551
4547 4552 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4548 4553
4549 4554 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4550 4555 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4551 4556
4552 4557 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4558
4554 4559 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4555 4560 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4556 4561 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4557 4562 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4558 4563 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4559 4564 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4560 4565
4561 4566 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4567
4563 4568 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4564 4569 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4565 4570
4566 4571 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4567 4572 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4568 4573 cache at 20 values.
4569 4574
4570 4575 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4571 4576 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4572 4577 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4573 4578 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4574 4579
4575 4580 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4576 4581 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4577 4582 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4578 4583 'file show').
4579 4584
4580 4585 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4581 4586 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4582 4587
4583 4588 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4584 4589 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4585 4590 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4586 4591
4587 4592 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4588 4593 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4589 4594 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4590 4595 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4591 4596
4592 4597 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4593 4598 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4594 4599 the prompt strings.
4595 4600
4596 4601 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4597 4602
4598 4603 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4599 4604 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4600 4605
4601 4606 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4602 4607 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4603 4608 either globally or at each call.
4604 4609
4605 4610 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4606 4611 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4607 4612 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4608 4613 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4609 4614
4610 4615 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4611 4616
4612 4617 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4613 4618 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4614 4619
4615 4620 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4616 4621
4617 4622 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4618 4623 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4619 4624 learning some lisp...
4620 4625
4621 4626 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4622 4627
4623 4628 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4624 4629 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4625 4630 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4626 4631 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4627 4632
4628 4633 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4629 4634 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4630 4635 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4631 4636
4632 4637 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4633 4638
4634 4639 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4635 4640 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4636 4641 control to emacs users.
4637 4642
4638 4643 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4639 4644 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4640 4645 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4641 4646 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4642 4647 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4643 4648 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4644 4649
4645 4650 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4646 4651
4647 4652 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4648 4653
4649 4654 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4650 4655 @logstate magic was created.
4651 4656
4652 4657 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4653 4658 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4654 4659
4655 4660 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4656 4661
4657 4662 * Released 0.2.6.
4658 4663
4659 4664 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4660 4665 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4661 4666
4662 4667 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4663 4668 SciPy.
4664 4669
4665 4670 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4666 4671 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4667 4672 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4668 4673 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4669 4674 the section on embedding and the example file.
4670 4675
4671 4676 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4672 4677 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4673 4678 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4674 4679
4675 4680 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4676 4681 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4677 4682 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4678 4683
4679 4684 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4680 4685 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4681 4686 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4682 4687 for this to work.
4683 4688
4684 4689 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4685 4690
4686 4691 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4687 4692 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4688 4693 well inside Emacs buffers.
4689 4694 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4690 4695 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4691 4696 same bug in iplib.
4692 4697
4693 4698 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4699
4695 4700 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4696 4701 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4697 4702
4698 4703 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4699 4704 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4700 4705 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4701 4706
4702 4707 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4703 4708 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4704 4709 display is done.
4705 4710
4706 4711 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4707 4712 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4708 4713
4709 4714 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4710 4715 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4711 4716 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4712 4717 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4713 4718 like in Octave.
4714 4719
4715 4720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4716 4721 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4717 4722
4718 4723 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4719 4724
4720 4725 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4721 4726 whole file a little.
4722 4727
4723 4728 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4724 4729 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4725 4730 end-user distro.
4726 4731
4727 4732 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4728 4733 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4729 4734 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4730 4735
4731 4736 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4732 4737 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4733 4738
4734 4739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4735 4740 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4736 4741 for @file.
4737 4742
4738 4743 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4739 4744 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4740 4745 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4741 4746 the code a bit easier.
4742 4747
4743 4748 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4744 4749 information to crash reports.
4745 4750
4746 4751 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4747 4752
4748 4753 * Released 0.2.5.
4749 4754
4750 4755 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4751 4756
4752 4757 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
4753 4758 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
4754 4759 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
4755 4760
4756 4761 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4757 4762
4758 4763 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
4759 4764 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
4760 4765 have thigs work as expected.
4761 4766
4762 4767 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
4763 4768 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
4764 4769 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
4765 4770 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
4766 4771 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
4767 4772
4768 4773 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
4769 4774 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
4770 4775
4771 4776 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4772 4777
4773 4778 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
4774 4779 user config files with os-native line-endings.
4775 4780
4776 4781 * README and manual updates.
4777 4782
4778 4783 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
4779 4784 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
4780 4785
4781 4786 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
4782 4787 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
4783 4788
4784 4789 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
4785 4790 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
4786 4791 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
4787 4792 extension-less files.
4788 4793
4789 4794 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
4790 4795 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
4791 4796 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
4792 4797
4793 4798 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
4794 4799 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
4795 4800
4796 4801 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
4797 4802 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
4798 4803 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
4799 4804 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
4800 4805 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
4801 4806 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
4802 4807 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
4803 4808 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
4804 4809 least make manually a shortcut.
4805 4810
4806 4811 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
4807 4812 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
4808 4813 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
4809 4814 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
4810 4815 runtime, with @colors.
4811 4816 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
4812 4817 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
4813 4818
4814 4819 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4815 4820
4816 4821 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
4817 4822 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
4818 4823 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
4819 4824 read the startup info.
4820 4825
4821 4826 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4822 4827
4823 4828 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
4824 4829 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
4825 4830 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
4826 4831 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
4827 4832 type the better off we are.
4828 4833 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
4829 4834 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
4830 4835 before.
4831 4836
4832 4837 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4833 4838
4834 4839 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
4835 4840 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
4836 4841 this later.
4837 4842
4838 4843 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4839 4844
4840 4845 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
4841 4846 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
4842 4847 (they can be triggered by imported code).
4843 4848
4844 4849 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4845 4850
4846 4851 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
4847 4852 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
4848 4853 spitting out only offset information as before.
4849 4854 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
4850 4855 programs with command line args inside IPython.
4851 4856
4852 4857 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4853 4858
4854 4859 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
4855 4860 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
4856 4861 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
4857 4862 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
4858 4863 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
4859 4864 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
4860 4865 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
4861 4866 macros.
4862 4867
4863 4868 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4864 4869
4865 4870 * Released 0.2.4.
4866 4871
4867 4872 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
4868 4873 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
4869 4874 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
4870 4875 re-execution.
4871 4876
4872 4877 * Updated manual with recent changes.
4873 4878
4874 4879 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
4875 4880 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
4876 4881 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
4877 4882 documented, of course :)
4878 4883 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
4879 4884 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
4880 4885 __call__ info for callable object instances.
4881 4886
4882 4887 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4883 4888
4884 4889 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
4885 4890 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
4886 4891 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
4887 4892
4888 4893 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4889 4894
4890 4895 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
4891 4896 so I wanted an updated release).
4892 4897
4893 4898 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4894 4899
4895 4900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
4896 4901 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
4897 4902 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
4898 4903 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
4899 4904 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
4900 4905
4901 4906 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4902 4907
4903 4908 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
4904 4909 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
4905 4910
4906 4911 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4907 4912
4908 4913 * Released 0.2.2.
4909 4914
4910 4915 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
4911 4916 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
4912 4917 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
4913 4918 versions.
4914 4919
4915 4920 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
4916 4921 (MayaVi author).
4917 4922
4918 4923 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4919 4924
4920 4925 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
4921 4926 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
4922 4927 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
4923 4928 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
4924 4929 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
4925 4930
4926 4931 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
4927 4932 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
4928 4933
4929 4934 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4930 4935
4931 4936 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
4932 4937 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
4933 4938 nice, full-blown manual.
4934 4939
4935 4940 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
4936 4941 trivially simple for end-users.
4937 4942
4938 4943 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4939 4944
4940 4945 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
4941 4946 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
4942 4947
4943 4948 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
4944 4949 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
4945 4950
4946 4951 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4947 4952
4948 4953 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
4949 4954 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
4950 4955 people to later upgrade versions.
4951 4956
4952 4957 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
4953 4958 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
4954 4959 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
4955 4960 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
4956 4961 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
4957 4962 SystemExit).
4958 4963
4959 4964 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
4960 4965 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
4961 4966 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
4962 4967 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
4963 4968 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
4964 4969
4965 4970 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
4966 4971 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
4967 4972 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
4968 4973
4969 4974 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4970 4975
4971 4976 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
4972 4977 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
4973 4978
4974 4979 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
4975 4980 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
4976 4981 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
4977 4982 html docs out of it will be found).
4978 4983
4979 4984 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
4980 4985
4981 4986 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
4982 4987 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
4983 4988
4984 4989 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
4985 4990
4986 4991 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
4987 4992 visiting any directory in _dh.
4988 4993
4989 4994 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
4990 4995 it out with numbers.
4991 4996
4992 4997 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4993 4998
4994 4999 * Released 0.1.22
4995 5000
4996 5001 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
4997 5002 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
4998 5003
4999 5004 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5000 5005 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5001 5006 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5002 5007 screen the necessary mail command.
5003 5008
5004 5009 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5005 5010 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5006 5011 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5007 5012
5008 5013 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5009 5014
5010 5015 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5011 5016 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5012 5017 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5013 5018 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5014 5019 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5015 5020 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5016 5021 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5017 5022 its name).
5018 5023
5019 5024 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5020 5025 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5021 5026 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5022 5027 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.

5024 5029 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5025 5030
5026 5031 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5027 5032 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5028 5033
5029 5034 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5030 5035 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5031 5036
5032 5037 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5033 5038 completion of @-starting lines.
5034 5039
5035 5040 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5036 5041 info that other files can read from.
5037 5042
5038 5043 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5039 5044 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5040 5045 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5041 5046 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5042 5047 restores produce less errors.
5043 5048
5044 5049 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5045 5050 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5046 5051 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5047 5052 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5048 5053 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5049 5054
5050 5055 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5051 5056 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5052 5057 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5053 5058 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5054 5059 with this, finally...
5055 5060
5056 5061 * Small documentation updates.
5057 5062
5058 5063 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5059 5064 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5060 5065 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5061 5066
5062 5067 * File renaming:
5063 5068 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5064 5069 ipplib --> iplib
5065 5070 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5066 5071
5067 5072 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5068 5073 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5069 5074 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5070 5075
5071 5076 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5072 5077 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5073 5078 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5074 5079
5075 5080 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5076 5081
5077 5082 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5078 5083 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5079 5084 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5080 5085 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5081 5086
5082 5087 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5083 5088 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5084 5089 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5085 5090
5086 5091 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5087 5092 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5088 5093 road.
5089 5094
5090 5095 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5091 5096 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5092 5097 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5093 5098 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5094 5099
5095 5100 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5096 5101
5097 5102 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5098 5103 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5099 5104 file accordingly.
5100 5105
5101 5106 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5102 5107 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5103 5108 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5104 5109 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5105 5110 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5106 5111 separators and proper padding and justification.
5107 5112
5108 5113 * Released 0.1.20
5109 5114
5110 5115 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5111 5116 copy operation was missing).
5112 5117
5113 5118 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5114 5119 its output is always quite long.
5115 5120
5116 5121 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5117 5122 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5118 5123 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5119 5124 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5120 5125
5121 5126 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5122 5127 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5123 5128 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5124 5129 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5125 5130
5126 5131 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5127 5132
5128 5133 * Released 0.1.19
5129 5134
5130 5135 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5131 5136 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5132 5137
5133 5138 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5134 5139 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5135 5140 comment on 'macros').
5136 5141
5137 5142 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5138 5143
5139 5144 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5140 5145 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5141 5146 statements and takes parameters.
5142 5147
5143 5148 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5144 5149
5145 5150 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5146 5151
5147 5152 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5148 5153
5149 5154 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5150 5155 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5151 5156
5152 5157 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5153 5158 ipythonrc-* samples.
5154 5159
5155 5160 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5156 5161 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5157 5162
5158 5163 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5159 5164 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5160 5165
5161 5166 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5162 5167
5163 5168 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5164 5169 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5165 5170 convention.
5166 5171
5167 5172 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5168 5173 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5169 5174
5170 5175 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5171 5176
5172 5177 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5173 5178 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5174 5179
5175 5180 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5176 5181 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5177 5182 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5178 5183 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5179 5184 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5180 5185 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5181 5186 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5182 5187 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5183 5188 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5184 5189 works.
5185 5190
5186 5191 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5187 5192
5188 5193 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5189 5194 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5190 5195 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5191 5196 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5192 5197 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5193 5198 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5194 5199 all the editors, less does that.
5195 5200
5196 5201 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5197 5202
5198 5203 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5199 5204 crash IPython.
5200 5205
5201 5206 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5202 5207
5203 5208 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5204 5209
5205 5210 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5206 5211 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5207 5212 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5208 5213 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5209 5214 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5210 5215 work in _ofind.
5211 5216
5212 5217 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5213 5218 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5214 5219 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5215 5220 (famous last words).
5216 5221
5217 5222 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5218 5223 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5219 5224 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5220 5225 windows).
5221 5226
5222 5227 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5223 5228 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5224 5229
5225 5230 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5226 5231 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5227 5232 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5228 5233 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5229 5234
5230 5235 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5231 5236 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5232 5237 licences and announce it.
5233 5238
5234 5239 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5235 5240 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5236 5241 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5237 5242 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5238 5243
5239 5244 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5245
5241 5246 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5242 5247 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5243 5248 lists.
5244 5249
5245 5250 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5246 5251 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5247 5252 are ok.
5248 5253
5249 5254 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5250 5255 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5251 5256
5252 5257 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5253 5258 this to Nathan.
5254 5259
5255 5260 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5256 5261
5257 5262 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5258 5263 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5259 5264 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5260 5265
5261 5266 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5262 5267 accepted). Cleaner.
5263 5268
5264 5269 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5265 5270 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5266 5271 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5267 5272 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5268 5273 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5269 5274
5270 5275 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5271 5276
5272 5277 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5273 5278 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5274 5279 history after a log replay.
5275 5280
5276 5281 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5277 5282 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5278 5283 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5279 5284 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5280 5285 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5281 5286 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5282 5287
5283 5288 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5284 5289 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5285 5290 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5286 5291 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5287 5292 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5288 5293
5289 5294 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5290 5295
5291 5296 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5292 5297 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5293 5298 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5294 5299 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5295 5300 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5296 5301 one: cache_size.
5297 5302
5298 5303 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5299 5304 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5300 5305 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5301 5306 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5302 5307
5303 5308 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5304 5309 @ or not).
5305 5310
5306 5311 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5307 5312 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5308 5313 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5309 5314 about licensing).
5310 5315
5311 5316 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5312 5317
5313 5318 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5314 5319 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5315 5320
5316 5321 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5317 5322 screen size for page() operations.
5318 5323
5319 5324 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5320 5325 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5321 5326 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5322 5327 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5323 5328
5324 5329 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5325 5330 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5326 5331 option name tables are clearer.
5327 5332
5328 5333 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5329 5334 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5330 5335 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5331 5336 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5332 5337 was also changed a little to align better.
5333 5338
5334 5339 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5335 5340 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5336 5341
5337 5342 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5338 5343 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5339 5344 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5340 5345
5341 5346 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5342 5347 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5343 5348 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5344 5349 he needs it.
5345 5350
5346 5351 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5347 5352
5348 5353 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5349 5354 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5350 5355 warning on it.
5351 5356
5352 5357 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5353 5358 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5354 5359 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5355 5360 was too long).
5356 5361
5357 5362 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5358 5363 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5359 5364 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5360 5365
5361 5366 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5362 5367 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5363 5368 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5364 5369 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5365 5370 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5366 5371 function for the same task.
5367 5372
5368 5373 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5369 5374
5370 5375 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5371 5376
5372 5377 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5373 5378 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5374 5379 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5375 5380
5376 5381 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5377 5382 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5378 5383 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5379 5384
5380 5385 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5381 5386 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5382 5387 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5383 5388
5384 5389 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5385 5390
5386 5391 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5387 5392
5388 5393 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5389 5394 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5390 5395 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5391 5396
5392 5397 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5393 5398
5394 5399 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5395 5400
5396 5401 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5397 5402
5398 5403 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5399 5404 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5400 5405 maintain.
5401 5406
5402 5407 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5403 5408 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5404 5409 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5405 5410 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5406 5411 compiled and startup is much faster.
5407 5412
5408 5413 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5409 5414 while without messing too much more with the code.
5410 5415
5411 5416 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5412 5417
5413 5418 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5414 5419
5415 5420 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5416 5421 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5417 5422 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5418 5423
5419 5424 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5420 5425 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5421 5426
5422 5427 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5423 5428 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5424 5429 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5425 5430 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5426 5431 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5427 5432 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5428 5433
5429 5434 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5430 5435 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5431 5436
5432 5437 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5433 5438 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5434 5439
5435 5440 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5436 5441 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5437 5442 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5438 5443 excessive.
5439 5444
5440 5445 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5441 5446 types (only first word was displayed).
5442 5447
5443 5448 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5444 5449
5445 5450 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5446 5451
5447 5452 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5448 5453 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5449 5454 travel along many directories.
5450 5455
5451 5456 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5452 5457 arguments with default values.
5453 5458
5454 5459 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5455 5460
5456 5461 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5457 5462 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5458 5463
5459 5464 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5460 5465
5461 5466 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5462 5467 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5463 5468 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5464 5469
5465 5470 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5466 5471
5467 5472 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5468 5473 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5469 5474 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5470 5475 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5471 5476 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5472 5477 purposes.
5473 5478
5474 5479 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5475 5480 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5476 5481 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5477 5482 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5478 5483 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5479 5484 one can simply say
5480 5485 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5481 5486 or even
5482 5487 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5483 5488
5484 5489 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5485 5490 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5486 5491 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5487 5492
5488 5493 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5489 5494 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5490 5495 they were defined in
5491 5496
5492 5497 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5493 5498
5494 5499 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5495 5500 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5496 5501 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5497 5502 these to show the same information.
5498 5503
5499 5504 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5500 5505
5501 5506 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5502 5507 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5503 5508 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5504 5509 backtracked on the whole class!)
5505 5510
5506 5511 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5507 5512 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5508 5513 everything works as before).
5509 5514
5510 5515 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5511 5516 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5512 5517 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5513 5518 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5514 5519
5515 5520 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5516 5521
5517 5522 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5518 5523
5519 5524 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5520 5525 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5521 5526
5522 5527 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5523 5528 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5524 5529 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5525 5530 this later.
5526 5531
5527 5532 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5528 5533
5529 5534 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5530 5535 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5531 5536 line option.
5532 5537
5533 5538 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5534 5539 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5535 5540 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5536 5541 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5537 5542 didn't return a result).
5538 5543
5539 5544 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5540 5545
5541 5546 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5542 5547
5543 5548 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5544 5549 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5545 5550 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5546 5551 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5547 5552
5548 5553 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5549 5554
5550 5555 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5551 5556
5552 5557 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5553 5558 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5554 5559
5555 5560 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5556 5561 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5557 5562 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5558 5563 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5559 5564 in with the next entry:
5560 5565
5561 5566 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5562 5567 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5563 5568 handling.
5564 5569
5565 5570 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5566 5571 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5567 5572 namespace protection and documentation.
5568 5573
5569 5574 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5570 5575
5571 5576 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5572 5577 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5573 5578
5574 5579 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5575 5580
5576 5581 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5577 5582
5578 5583 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5579 5584
5580 5585 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5581 5586 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5582 5587 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5583 5588 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5584 5589 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5585 5590
5586 5591 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5587 5592 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5588 5593 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5589 5594
5590 5595 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5591 5596
5592 5597 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5593 5598 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5594 5599
5595 5600 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5596 5601
5597 5602 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5598 5603
5599 5604 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5600 5605 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5601 5606 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5602 5607 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5603 5608 ScientificPython.
5604 5609
5605 5610 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5606 5611
5607 5612 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5608 5613 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5609 5614 when called with no args.
5610 5615
5611 5616 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5612 5617 closely.
5613 5618
5614 5619 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5615 5620 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5616 5621 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5617 5622 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5618 5623 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5619 5624
5620 5625 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5621 5626
5622 5627 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5623 5628 customizations there and access them via import.
5624 5629
5625 5630 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5626 5631
5627 5632 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5628 5633
5629 5634 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5630 5635 Nathan and Janko.
5631 5636
5632 5637 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5633 5638
5634 5639 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5635 5640 too long.
5636 5641
5637 5642 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5638 5643
5639 5644 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5640 5645 ?sin and sin?
5641 5646 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5642 5647 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5643 5648 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5644 5649 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5645 5650
5646 5651 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5647 5652
5648 5653 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5649 5654
5650 5655 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5651 5656 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5652 5657
5653 5658 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5654 5659 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5655 5660 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5656 5661 me).
5657 5662
5658 5663 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5659 5664 protected (reasonably).
5660 5665
5661 5666 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5662 5667 note through it (it was too long).
5663 5668
5664 5669 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5665 5670 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5666 5671 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5667 5672 parameters.
5668 5673
5669 5674
5670 5675 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5671 5676
5672 5677 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5673 5678 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5674 5679 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
5675 5680
5676 5681 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5677 5682 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5678 5683 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
5679 5684
5680 5685 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5681 5686
5682 5687 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5683 5688
5684 5689 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5685 5690
5686 5691 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5687 5692 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
5688 5693 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5689 5694 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5690 5695 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5691 5696 break.
5692 5697
5693 5698 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5694 5699 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5695 5700 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5696 5701 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5697 5702 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5698 5703 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5699 5704
5700 5705 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5701 5706 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5702 5707 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5703 5708 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5704 5709 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5705 5710 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5706 5711 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5707 5712 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5708 5713 trick.
5709 5714
5710 5715 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5711 5716 session restoring.
5712 5717
5713 5718 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5714 5719 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5715 5720 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5716 5721 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5717 5722 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5718 5723
5719 5724 * Started ChangeLog.
