2 2
3 3 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
4 4
5 5 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
6 6 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
7 7 no python installation required).

10
11 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
12 failure of 'title' system call properly.

9 14 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
10 15
11 16 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
12 17 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
13 18
14 19 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
15 20
16 21 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
17 22 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
18 23 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
19 24
20 25 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
21 26
22 27 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
23 28 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
24 29
25 30 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
26 31
27 32 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
28 33 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
29 34
30 35 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
31 36 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
32 37
33 38 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
34 39 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
35 40 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
36 41
37 42 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
38 43
39 44 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
40 45 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
41 46 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
42 47 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
43 48
44 49 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
45 50 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
46 51
47 52 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
48 53
49 54 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
50 55 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
51 56 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
52 57 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
53 58
54 59 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
55 60
56 61 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
57 62
58 63 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
59 64 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
60 65
61 66 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
62 67
63 68 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
64 69
65 70 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

68 73 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
69 74
70 75 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

79 84
80 85 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
81 86 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
82 87 bug discovered by Ville).
83 88
84 89 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
85 90
86 91 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
87 92 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
88 93
89 94 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
90 95
91 96
92 97 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
93 98
94 99 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
95 100 Closes #149.
96 101
97 102 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
98 103 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
99 104 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
100 105
101 106 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
102 107
103 108 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
104 109 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
105 110 allows wildcards.
106 111
107 112 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
108 113 as opposed to returning nothing.
109 114
110 115 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
111 116 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
112 117
113 118 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
114 119
115 120 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
116 121 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
117 122
118 123 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
119 124
120 125 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
121 126 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
122 127
123 128 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
124 129
125 130 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
126 131 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
127 132 IPython instance.
128 133
129 134 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
130 135
131 136 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
132 137 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
133 138 'Iptl' template notation,
134 139
135 140 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
136 141 safer & faster 'import' completer.
137 142
138 143 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
139 144 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
140 145
141 146 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
142 147 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
143 148 defmacro() etc.)
144 149
145 150 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
146 151
147 152 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
148 153
149 154 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
150 155
151 156 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
152 157
153 158 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
154 159 and later on win32.
155 160
156 161 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
157 162
158 163 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
159 164
160 165 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
161 166
162 167 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
163 168 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
164 169
165 170 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
166 171
167 172 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
168 173
169 174 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
170 175
171 176 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
172 177
173 178 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
174 179
175 180 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
176 181 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
177 182 every %run call.
178 183
179 184 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
180 185 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
181 186 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
182 187
183 188 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
184 189
185 190 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
186 191 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
187 192 Stefan for the fix.
188 193
189 194 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
190 195 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
191 196 him.
192 197
193 198 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
194 199 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
195 200 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
196 201 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
197 202
198 203 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
199 204 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
200 205 each runcode access.
201 206
202 207 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
203 208 message.
204 209
205 210 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
206 211
207 212 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
208 213 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
209 214 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
210 215
211 216 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
212 217 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
213 218 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
214 219 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
215 220 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
216 221 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
217 222 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
218 223 anything up until we know if it actually works.
219 224
220 225 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
221 226 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
222 227 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
223 228 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
224 229 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
225 230
226 231 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
227 232
228 233 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
229 234 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
230 235 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
231 236
232 237 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
233 238
234 239 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
235 240 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
236 241 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
237 242
238 243 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
239 244
240 245 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
241 246 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
242 247 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
243 248 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
244 249 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
245 250
246 251 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
247 252
248 253 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
249 254 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
250 255
251 256 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
252 257 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
253 258 details in comments left in the code.
254 259
255 260 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
256 261 similar to what we had for Numeric.
257 262
258 263 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
259 264 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
260 265 than readline. Closes #109.
261 266
262 267 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
263 268 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
264 269
265 270 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
266 271
267 272 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
268 273 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
269 274 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
270 275 ongoing Unicode support work.
271 276
272 277 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
273 278 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
274 279 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
275 280 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
276 281
277 282 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
278 283
279 284 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
280 285 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
281 286
282 287 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
283 288
284 289 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
285 290 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
286 291 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
287 292
288 293 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
289 294
290 295 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
291 296 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
292 297 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
293 298 long definition lines for functions.
294 299
295 300 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
296 301
297 302 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
298 303 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
299 304 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
300 305 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
301 306
302 307 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
303 308
304 309 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
305 310
306 311 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
307 312
308 313 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
309 314 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
310 315 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
311 316
312 317 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
313 318 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
314 319
315 320 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
316 321 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
317 322
318 323 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
319 324
320 325 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
321 326 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
322 327 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
323 328
324 329 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
325 330
326 331 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
327 332 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
328 333
329 334 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
330 335 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
331 336 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
332 337 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
333 338 sometimes return "" as last element.
334 339
335 340 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
336 341
337 342 * IPython/completer.py
338 343 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
339 344 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
340 345 would be completed too early.
341 346
342 347 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
343 348 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
344 349 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
345 350 backwards compatibility.
346 351
347 352 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
348 353 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
349 354 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
350 355 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
351 356 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
352 357 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
353 358 also works when debugging.
354 359
355 360 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
356 361 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
357 362
358 363 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
359 364 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
360 365 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
361 366
362 367 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
363 368 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
364 369 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
365 370
366 371 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
367 372 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
368 373
369 374 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
370 375
371 376 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
372 377 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
373 378 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
374 379
375 380 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
376 381
377 382 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
378 383 to be installed alongside igrid.
379 384 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
380 385 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
381 386 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
382 387
383 388 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
384 389
385 390 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
386 391 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
387 392 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
388 393
389 394 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
390 395
391 396 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
392 397 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
393 398
394 399 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
395 400 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
396 401
397 402 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
398 403
399 404 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
400 405 as the default browser.
401 406 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
402 407 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
403 408 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
404 409 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
405 410
406 411 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
407 412
408 413 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
409 414 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
410 415 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
411 416
412 417 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
413 418
414 419 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
415 420 Close help window if exiting igrid.
416 421
417 422 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
418 423
419 424 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
420 425 before calling functions from readline.
421 426
422 427 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
423 428
424 429 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
425 430 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
426 431 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
427 432 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
428 433 falls back to idump.
429 434
430 435 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
431 436
432 437 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
433 438 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
434 439 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
435 440 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
436 441
437 442 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
438 443
439 444 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
440 445 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
441 446 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
442 447 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
443 448 %magic with explicit % prefix.
444 449
445 450 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
446 451
447 452 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
448 453 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
449 454
450 455 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
451 456
452 457 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
453 458 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
454 459 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
455 460 one wants those instead.
456 461
457 462 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
458 463 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
459 464 instead.
460 465
461 466 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
462 467
463 468 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
464 469 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
465 470 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
466 471 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
467 472
468 473 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
469 474
470 475 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
471 476 stop marks.
472 477 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
473 478 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
474 479 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
475 480
476 481 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
477 482
478 483 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
479 484 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
480 485 sumbmitted to upstream.
481 486
482 487 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
483 488
484 489 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
485 490 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
486 491 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
487 492 running into an empty levels list later.
488 493
489 494 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
490 495
491 496 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
492 497 for the noitem object.
493 498
494 499 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
495 500
496 501 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
497 502 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
498 503 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
499 504 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
500 505
501 506 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
502 507
503 508 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
504 509 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
505 510 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
506 511 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
507 512 filenames.
508 513
509 514 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
510 515 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
511 516 out-of-process ipython code.
512 517
513 518 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
514 519 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
515 520 doctesting.
516 521
517 522 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
518 523
519 524 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
520 525
521 526 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
522 527 not being correctly recognized.
523 528
524 529 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
525 530
526 531 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
527 532 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
528 533 only item.
529 534
530 535 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
531 536 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
532 537 infinite recursion for one line strings).
533 538
534 539 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
535 540
536 541 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
537 542 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
538 543 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
539 544
540 545 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
541 546
542 547 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
543 548 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
544 549 "%env VISUAL=jed".
545 550
546 551 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
547 552
548 553 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
549 554 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
550 555 but I'm not exactly sure why).
551 556
552 557 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
553 558 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
554 559
555 560 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
556 561
557 562 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
558 563 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
559 564
560 565 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
561 566 the time during IPython startup is spent.
562 567
563 568 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
564 569
565 570 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
566 571
567 572 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
568 573
569 574 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
570 575
571 576 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
572 577
573 578 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
574 579 to work properly on posix too
575 580
576 581 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
577 582
578 583 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 584
580 585 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
581 586 prefix + "/scripts".
582 587
583 588 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
584 589
585 590 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
586 591
587 592 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
588 593 if they already exist
589 594
590 595 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
591 596
592 597 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
593 598
594 599 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
595 600
596 601 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
597 602
598 603 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
599 604 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
600 605 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
601 606
602 607 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
603 608
604 609 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
605 610 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
606 611 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
607 612
608 613 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
609 614 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
610 615 in ipy_user_conf.py
611 616
612 617
613 618 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
614 619 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
615 620 as IPython script.
616 621
617 622 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
618 623
619 624 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
620 625
621 626 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
622 627 is called before any exception has occurred.
623 628
624 629 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
625 630
626 631 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
627 632 to translate /'s to \'s again.
628 633
629 634 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
630 635 backslash.
631 636
632 637 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
633 638
634 639 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
635 640
636 641 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
637 642 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
638 643 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
639 644
640 645 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
641 646 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
642 647
643 648 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
644 649 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
645 650
646 651 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
647 652
648 653 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
649 654
650 655 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
651 656 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
652 657
653 658 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
654 659 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
655 660 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
656 661 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
657 662 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
658 663 mapped to "%" now.
659 664 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
660 665
661 666 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
662 667
663 668 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
664 669 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
665 670 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
666 671 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
667 672
668 673 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
669 674
670 675 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
671 676 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
672 677 for shell escapes.
673 678
674 679 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
675 680
676 681 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
677 682 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
678 683 vcs_completer.
679 684
680 685 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
681 686
682 687 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
683 688 directly instead!
684 689
685 690 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
686 691
687 692 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
688 693 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
689 694
690 695 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
691 696 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
692 697 explicit.
693 698
694 699 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
695 700 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
696 701
697 702 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
698 703
699 704 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
700 705
701 706 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
702 707 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
703 708 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
704 709 implementation for Text is useless.
705 710
706 711 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
707 712
708 713 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
709 714
710 715 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
711 716
712 717 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
713 718 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
714 719 "profile"
715 720
716 721 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
717 722
718 723 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
719 724 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
720 725
721 726 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
722 727 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
723 728
724 729
725 730 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
726 731 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
727 732 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
728 733
729 734 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
730 735
731 736 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
732 737 with one from UserConfig.
733 738
734 739 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
735 740 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
736 741
737 742 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
738 743 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
739 744 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
740 745
741 746 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
742 747
743 748 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
744 749
745 750 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
746 751
747 752 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
748 753
749 754 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
750 755
751 756 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
752 757
753 758 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
754 759
755 760 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
756 761
757 762 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
758 763 by eval of expr with dots.
759 764
760 765 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
761 766
762 767 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
763 768 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
764 769 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
765 770 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
766 771 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
767 772 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
768 773
769 774 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
770 775
771 776 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
772 777 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
773 778 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
774 779
775 780 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
776 781 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
777 782 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
778 783 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
779 784 funtionality in ipconfig.
780 785
781 786 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
782 787 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
783 788 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
784 789 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
785 790
786 791 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
787 792
788 793 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
789 794 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
790 795 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
791 796 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
792 797 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
793 798 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
794 799 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
795 800 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
796 801 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
797 802 descriptors.
798 803
799 804 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
800 805 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
801 806
802 807 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
803 808 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
804 809
805 810 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
806 811
807 812 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
808 813
809 814 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
810 815
811 816 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
812 817 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
813 818 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
814 819
815 820 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
816 821 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
817 822 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
818 823
819 824 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
820 825 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
821 826 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
822 827 ipy_stock_completers.
823 828
824 829 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
825 830
826 831 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
827 832
828 833 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
829 834 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
830 835 when filtering possible completions.
831 836
832 837 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
833 838
834 839 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
835 840 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
836 841 function
837 842
838 843
839 844 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
840 845
841 846 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
842 847 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
843 848 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
844 849 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
845 850 SVN completer.
846 851
847 852 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
848 853 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
849 854 name is %led.
850 855
851 856 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
852 857
853 858 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
854 859 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
855 860 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
856 861
857 862 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
858 863 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
859 864 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
860 865 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
861 866 hook name is 'complete_command'.
862 867
863 868 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
864 869
865 870 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
866 871 Numeric leftovers.
867 872
868 873 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
869 874 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
870 875
871 876 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
872 877 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
873 878
874 879 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
875 880 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
876 881
877 882 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
878 883 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
879 884 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
880 885
881 886 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
882 887
883 888 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
884 889 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
885 890 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
886 891
887 892 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
888 893 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
889 894
890 895 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
891 896
892 897 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
893 898 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
894 899 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
895 900
896 901 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
897 902
898 903 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
899 904 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
900 905 internal crash handler.
901 906
902 907 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
903 908 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
904 909 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
905 910 at the request of SAGE.
906 911
907 912 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
908 913
909 914 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
910 915 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
911 916
912 917 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
913 918 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
914 919 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
915 920 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
916 921
917 922 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
918 923 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
919 924 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
920 925
921 926 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
922 927
923 928 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
924 929 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
925 930 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
926 931
927 932 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
928 933 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
929 934
930 935 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
931 936
932 937 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
933 938 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
934 939 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
935 940 Stefan.
936 941
937 942 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
938 943
939 944 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
940 945 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
941 946 sys.stdout.close().
942 947
943 948 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
944 949
945 950 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
946 951 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
947 952 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
948 953 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
949 954
950 955 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
951 956 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
952 957 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
953 958
954 959 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
955 960 2.5.
956 961
957 962 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
958 963 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
959 964 interactively.
960 965
961 966 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
962 967
963 968 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
964 969 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
965 970
966 971 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
967 972
968 973 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
969 974 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
970 975 or only files.
971 976
972 977 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
973 978
974 979 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
975 980 they broke unittest
976 981
977 982 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
978 983
979 984 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
980 985 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
981 986 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
982 987 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
983 988
984 989 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
985 990
986 991 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
987 992 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
988 993 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
989 994 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
990 995 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
991 996
992 997 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
993 998
994 999 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
995 1000 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
996 1001
997 1002 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
998 1003
999 1004 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1000 1005 the mode argument).
1001 1006
1002 1007 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1003 1008
1004 1009 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1005 1010 not running under IPython.
1006 1011
1007 1012 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1008 1013 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1009 1014 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1010 1015 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1011 1016 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1012 1017 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1013 1018 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1014 1019 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1015 1020 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1016 1021 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1017 1022 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1018 1023 are still supported.
1019 1024
1020 1025 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1021 1026 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1022 1027 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1023 1028 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1024 1029
1025 1030 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1026 1031 encoding into methods.
1027 1032
1028 1033 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1029 1034
1030 1035 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1031 1036 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1032 1037
1033 1038 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1034 1039
1035 1040 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1036 1041 non existing attributes.
1037 1042
1038 1043 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1039 1044
1040 1045 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1041 1046 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1042 1047
1043 1048 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1044 1049
1045 1050 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1046 1051 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1047 1052
1048 1053 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1049 1054
1050 1055 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1051 1056 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1052 1057 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1053 1058
1054 1059 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1055 1060
1056 1061 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1057 1062 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1058 1063 Stefan van der Walt.
1059 1064
1060 1065 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1061 1066
1062 1067 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1063 1068 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1064 1069
1065 1070 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1066 1071
1067 1072 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1068 1073 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1069 1074 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1070 1075
1071 1076 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1072 1077
1073 1078 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1074 1079 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1075 1080 attributes.
1076 1081
1077 1082 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1078 1083
1079 1084 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1080 1085 commands into the methods implementing them.
1081 1086
1082 1087 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1083 1088
1084 1089 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1085 1090 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1086 1091 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1087 1092
1088 1093 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1089 1094
1090 1095 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1091 1096 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1092 1097
1093 1098 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1094 1099
1095 1100 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1096 1101 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1097 1102
1098 1103 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1099 1104
1100 1105 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1101 1106 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1102 1107 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1103 1108 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1104 1109 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1105 1110 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1106 1111 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1107 1112 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1108 1113 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1109 1114 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1110 1115 the x key to "delete".
1111 1116
1112 1117 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1113 1118
1114 1119 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1115 1120 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1116 1121 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1117 1122 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1118 1123
1119 1124 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1120 1125 prompt
1121 1126
1122 1127 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1123 1128
1124 1129 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1125 1130
1126 1131 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1127 1132 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1128 1133 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1129 1134 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1130 1135
1131 1136 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1132 1137
1133 1138 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1134 1139 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1135 1140 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1136 1141 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1137 1142 doesn't work properly yet.
1138 1143
1139 1144 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1140 1145
1141 1146 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1142 1147 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1143 1148 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1144 1149
1145 1150 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1146 1151
1147 1152 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1148 1153 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1149 1154 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1150 1155 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1151 1156 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1152 1157 execute commands.
1153 1158
1154 1159 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1155 1160
1156 1161 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1157 1162 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1158 1163
1159 1164 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1160 1165
1161 1166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1162 1167 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1163 1168
1164 1169 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1165 1170
1166 1171 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1167 1172 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1168 1173 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1169 1174
1170 1175 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1171 1176
1172 1177 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

1174 1179 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1175 1180 Repo tagged and release cut.
1176 1181
1177 1182 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1178 1183
1179 1184 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1180 1185 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1181 1186
1182 1187 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1183 1188 (for %upgrade)
1184 1189
1185 1190 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1186 1191
1187 1192 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1188 1193 instead of looping 20 times.
1189 1194
1190 1195 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1191 1196 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1192 1197 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1193 1198
1194 1199 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1195 1200 testing for release on 06/06.
1196 1201
1197 1202 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1198 1203
1199 1204 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1200 1205 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1201 1206 live in people's PATH.
1202 1207
1203 1208 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1204 1209 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1205 1210 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1206 1211 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1207 1212 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1208 1213
1209 1214 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1210 1215 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1211 1216
1212 1217 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1213 1218
1214 1219 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1215 1220 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1216 1221
1217 1222 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1218 1223
1219 1224 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1220 1225 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1221 1226 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1222 1227
1223 1228 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1224 1229
1225 1230 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1226 1231 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1227 1232 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1228 1233 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1229 1234
1230 1235 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1231 1236 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1232 1237 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1233 1238 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1234 1239
1235 1240 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1236 1241 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1237 1242 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1238 1243 work.
1239 1244
1240 1245 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1241 1246
1242 1247 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1243 1248 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1244 1249
1245 1250 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1246 1251 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1247 1252 author William Stein.
1248 1253
1249 1254 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1250 1255 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1251 1256 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1252 1257 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1253 1258 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1254 1259 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1255 1260 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1256 1261 objects more easily.
1257 1262
1258 1263 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1259 1264
1260 1265 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1261 1266 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1262 1267 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1263 1268 by Jeffrey Collins.
1264 1269
1265 1270 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1266 1271 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1267 1272 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1268 1273 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1269 1274
1270 1275 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1271 1276 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1272 1277 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1273 1278 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1274 1279
1275 1280 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1276 1281 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1277 1282 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1278 1283 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1279 1284 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1280 1285 compatibility)
1281 1286
1282 1287 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1283 1288 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1284 1289 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1285 1290
1286 1291 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1287 1292 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1288 1293 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1289 1294 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1290 1295 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1291 1296
1292 1297 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1293 1298 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1294 1299 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1295 1300
1296 1301 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1297 1302 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1298 1303 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1299 1304 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1300 1305 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1301 1306 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1302 1307 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1303 1308
1304 1309 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1305 1310 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1306 1311 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1307 1312
1308 1313 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1309 1314 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1310 1315 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1311 1316
1312 1317 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1313 1318 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1314 1319
1315 1320 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1316 1321
1317 1322 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1318 1323 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1319 1324 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1320 1325 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1321 1326 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1322 1327 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1323 1328 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1324 1329 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1325 1330 while running under SAGE.
1326 1331
1327 1332 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1328 1333
1329 1334 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1330 1335 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1331 1336 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1332 1337 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1333 1338
1334 1339 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1335 1340
1336 1341 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1337 1342 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1338 1343 updated.
1339 1344
1340 1345 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1341 1346 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1342 1347 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1343 1348 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1344 1349 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1345 1350
1346 1351 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1347 1352 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1348 1353 so more testing is needed...
1349 1354
1350 1355 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1351 1356
1352 1357 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1353 1358 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1354 1359 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1355 1360 when doing complex debugging.
1356 1361 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1357 1362 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1358 1363 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1359 1364 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1360 1365
1361 1366 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1362 1367
1363 1368 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1364 1369 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1365 1370 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1366 1371 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1367 1372
1368 1373 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1369 1374
1370 1375 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1371 1376 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1372 1377
1373 1378 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1374 1379
1375 1380 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1376 1381 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1377 1382 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1378 1383 been the one to acquire it.
1379 1384
1380 1385 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1381 1386
1382 1387 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1383 1388
1384 1389 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1385 1390
1386 1391 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1387 1392 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1388 1393 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1389 1394
1390 1395 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1391 1396 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1392 1397 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1393 1398 properly flush the output cache.
1394 1399
1395 1400 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1396 1401 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1397 1402
1398 1403 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1399 1404
1400 1405 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1401 1406 are quoted
1402 1407
1403 1408 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1409
1405 1410 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1406 1411 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1407 1412
1408 1413 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1409 1414 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1410 1415
1411 1416 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1412 1417
1413 1418 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1414 1419 %upgrade magic
1415 1420
1416 1421 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1417 1422
1418 1423 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1419 1424 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1420 1425 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1421 1426
1422 1427 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1423 1428
1424 1429 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1425 1430 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1426 1431
1427 1432 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1428 1433 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1429 1434 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1430 1435 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1431 1436 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1432 1437
1433 1438 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1434 1439
1435 1440 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1436 1441 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1437 1442
1438 1443 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1439 1444
1440 1445 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1441 1446 Torsten Marek.
1442 1447
1443 1448 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1444 1449
1445 1450 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1446 1451 line ranges works again.
1447 1452
1448 1453 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1449 1454
1450 1455 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1451 1456 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1452 1457 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1453 1458 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1454 1459 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1455 1460
1456 1461 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1457 1462 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1458 1463 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1459 1464 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1460 1465 more.
1461 1466
1462 1467 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1463 1468
1464 1469 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1465 1470 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1466 1471
1467 1472 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1468 1473
1469 1474 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1470 1475 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1471 1476
1472 1477 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1473 1478
1474 1479 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1475 1480
1476 1481 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1477 1482
1478 1483 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1479 1484
1480 1485 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1481 1486 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1482 1487 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1483 1488
1484 1489 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1485 1490
1486 1491 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1487 1492 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1488 1493 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1489 1494 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1490 1495
1491 1496 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1492 1497 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1493 1498
1494 1499 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1495 1500 contributed by marienz to close
1496 1501 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1497 1502
1498 1503 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1499 1504
1500 1505 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1501 1506
1502 1507 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1503 1508 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1504 1509 nonsense.
1505 1510
1506 1511 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1507 1512
1508 1513 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1509 1514 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1510 1515
1511 1516 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1512 1517
1513 1518 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1514 1519
1515 1520 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1516 1521 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1517 1522
1518 1523 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1519 1524
1520 1525 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1521 1526 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1522 1527 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1523 1528 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1524 1529 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1525 1530 SAGE team.
1526 1531 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1527 1532 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1528 1533
1529 1534 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1530 1535 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1531 1536 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1532 1537 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1533 1538 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1534 1539
1535 1540 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1536 1541
1537 1542 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1538 1543 correctly now (on Linux)
1539 1544
1540 1545 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1541 1546 warnings
1542 1547
1543 1548 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1544 1549
1545 1550 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1546 1551
1547 1552
1548 1553 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1549 1554
1550 1555 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1551 1556 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1552 1557 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1553 1558 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1554 1559 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1555 1560 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1556 1561 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1557 1562 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1558 1563
1559 1564 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1560 1565
1561 1566 * aliases can now be %store'd
1562 1567
1563 1568 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1564 1569 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1565 1570 at __init__.
1566 1571
1567 1572 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1568 1573 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1569 1574
1570 1575 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1571 1576
1572 1577 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1573 1578 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1574 1579 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1575 1580
1576 1581 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1577 1582
1578 1583 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1579 1584
1580 1585 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1581 1586
1582 1587 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1583 1588 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1584 1589 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1585 1590 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1586 1591
1587 1592 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1588 1593 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1589 1594
1590 1595 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1591 1596
1592 1597 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1593 1598 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1594 1599 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1595 1600 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1596 1601
1597 1602 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1598 1603 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1599 1604 usage.
1600 1605
1601 1606 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1602 1607 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1603 1608 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1604 1609
1605 1610 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1606 1611
1607 1612 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1608 1613 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1609 1614
1610 1615 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1611 1616 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1612 1617 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1613 1618
1614 1619 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1615 1620
1616 1621 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1617 1622
1618 1623 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1619 1624
1620 1625 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1621 1626 are now more helpful:
1622 1627 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1623 1628
1624 1629 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1625 1630
1626 1631 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1627 1632 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1628 1633
1629 1634 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1630 1635
1631 1636 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1632 1637 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1633 1638
1634 1639 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1635 1640 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1636 1641 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1637 1642
1638 1643 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1639 1644
1640 1645
1641 1646 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1642 1647
1643 1648 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1644 1649 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1645 1650
1646 1651 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1647 1652
1648 1653 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1649 1654 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1650 1655 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1651 1656 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1652 1657 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1653 1658 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1654 1659
1655 1660 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1656 1661
1657 1662 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1658 1663 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1659 1664 \python24\scripts).
1660 1665
1661 1666 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1662 1667 egg.
1663 1668
1664 1669 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1665 1670
1666 1671 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1667 1672
1668 1673 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1669 1674
1670 1675 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1671 1676
1672 1677 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1673 1678
1674 1679 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1675 1680 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1676 1681 \python24\scripts).
1677 1682
1678 1683 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1679 1684 egg.
1680 1685
1681 1686 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1682 1687
1683 1688 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1684 1689 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1685 1690 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1686 1691
1687 1692 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1688 1693 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1689 1694 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1690 1695 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1691 1696
1692 1697 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1693 1698 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1694 1699 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1695 1700 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1696 1701 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1697 1702 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1698 1703 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1699 1704 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1700 1705 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1701 1706 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1702 1707 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1703 1708 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1704 1709
1705 1710 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1706 1711
1707 1712 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1708 1713 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1709 1714 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1710 1715 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1711 1716
1712 1717 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1713 1718
1714 1719 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1715 1720 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1716 1721 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1717 1722 importing extensions easy.
1718 1723
1719 1724 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1720 1725 classes / instances of those classes.
1721 1726
1722 1727 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1723 1728 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1724 1729 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1725 1730 the user.
1726 1731
1727 1732 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1728 1733 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1729 1734 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1730 1735
1731 1736 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1732 1737
1733 1738 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1734 1739 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1735 1740 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1736 1741 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1737 1742 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1738 1743 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1739 1744 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1740 1745 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1741 1746 the method.
1742 1747
1743 1748 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1744 1749
1745 1750 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1746 1751 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1747 1752
1748 1753 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1749 1754
1750 1755 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1751 1756 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1752 1757 Vivian.
1753 1758
1754 1759 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1755 1760 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1756 1761 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1757 1762 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1758 1763 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1759 1764
1760 1765 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1761 1766
1762 1767 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1763 1768 that returns file contents on exit.
1764 1769
1765 1770 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1766 1771 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1767 1772 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1768 1773 sc files=ls
1769 1774 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1770 1775 print p,p.mtime
1771 1776
1772 1777 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1773 1778 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1774 1779 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1775 1780 instead of syntax error.
1776 1781
1777 1782
1778 1783 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1779 1784
1780 1785 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1781 1786 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1782 1787 data.
1783 1788
1784 1789 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1785 1790 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1786 1791 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1787 1792 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1788 1793
1789 1794 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1790 1795 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1791 1796 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1792 1797 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1793 1798 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1794 1799 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1795 1800
1796 1801 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1797 1802
1798 1803 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1799 1804 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1800 1805 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1801 1806 current dir.
1802 1807
1803 1808 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1804 1809 had to create new files.
1805 1810
1806 1811 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1807 1812 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1808 1813 future.
1809 1814
1810 1815 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1811 1816 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1812 1817 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1813 1818
1814 1819
1815 1820 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1816 1821
1817 1822 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1818 1823 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1819 1824 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1820 1825 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1821 1826 later.
1822 1827
1823 1828 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1824 1829 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1825 1830
1826 1831 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1832
1828 1833 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1829 1834 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1830 1835 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1831 1836 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1832 1837 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1833 1838 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1834 1839
1835 1840 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1836 1841
1837 1842 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1838 1843 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1839 1844 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1840 1845 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1841 1846 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1842 1847 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1843 1848 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1844 1849 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1845 1850 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1846 1851 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1847 1852
1848 1853 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1849 1854 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1850 1855 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1851 1856 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1852 1857
1853 1858 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1854 1859 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1855 1860 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1856 1861 "setup.py install" between changes).
1857 1862
1858 1863 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1859 1864 if 1:
1860 1865 !ls
1861 1866 !!ls
1862 1867
1863 1868 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1864 1869
1865 1870 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1866 1871 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1867 1872 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1868 1873 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1869 1874
1870 1875 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1871 1876 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1872 1877 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1873 1878
1874 1879 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1875 1880
1876 1881 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1877 1882 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1878 1883 win32.
1879 1884
1880 1885 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0

1882 1887 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1883 1888
1884 1889 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1885 1890 ready for release.
1886 1891
1887 1892 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1888 1893 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1889 1894 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1890 1895 where to copy the info from.
1891 1896
1892 1897 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1893 1898
1894 1899 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1895 1900 support in the release tools as well.
1896 1901
1897 1902 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1898 1903
1899 1904 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1900 1905 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1901 1906 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1902 1907 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1903 1908
1904 1909 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1905 1910 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1906 1911 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1907 1912
1908 1913 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1909 1914 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1910 1915
1911 1916 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1912 1917 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1913 1918 printer not to work.
1914 1919
1915 1920 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1916 1921
1917 1922 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1918 1923 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1919 1924
1920 1925 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1921 1926
1922 1927 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1923 1928 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1924 1929 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1925 1930
1926 1931 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1927 1932 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1928 1933 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1929 1934
1930 1935 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1931 1936 Ville's patch.
1932 1937
1933 1938 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1934 1939
1935 1940 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1936 1941 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1937 1942 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1938 1943 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1939 1944 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1940 1945 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1941 1946 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1942 1947
1943 1948 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1944 1949 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1945 1950 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1946 1951
1947 1952 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1948 1953
1949 1954 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1950 1955 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1951 1956
1952 1957 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1953 1958 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1954 1959 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1955 1960 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1956 1961 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1957 1962 twister).
1958 1963
1959 1964 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1960 1965 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1961 1966 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1962 1967
1963 1968 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1964 1969 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1965 1970 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1966 1971 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1967 1972 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1968 1973 something inside the dis module.
1969 1974
1970 1975 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1971 1976
1972 1977 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1973 1978 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1974 1979 follows the discussion in
1975 1980 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1976 1981
1977 1982 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1978 1983 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1979 1984 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1980 1985
1981 1986 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1982 1987 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1983 1988 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1984 1989
1985 1990 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1986 1991 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1987 1992 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1988 1993 speed up this routine.
1989 1994
1990 1995 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1991 1996 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1992 1997 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1993 1998 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1994 1999 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1995 2000 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1996 2001 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1997 2002 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1998 2003
1999 2004 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2000 2005 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2001 2006 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2002 2007
2003 2008 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2004 2009 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2005 2010 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2006 2011 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2007 2012 setters don't do anything).
2008 2013
2009 2014 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2010 2015
2011 2016 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2012 2017 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2013 2018 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2014 2019 falling out of sync...)
2015 2020
2016 2021 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2017 2022 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2018 2023 as loops).
2019 2024
2020 2025 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2021 2026 win32 system access.
2022 2027
2023 2028 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2024 2029
2025 2030 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2026 2031 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2027 2032 thread-safe.
2028 2033 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2029 2034 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2030 2035 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2031 2036 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2032 2037 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2033 2038 can still happen.
2034 2039 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2035 2040 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2036 2041 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2037 2042 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2038 2043 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2039 2044 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2040 2045 cleanly.
2041 2046
2042 2047 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2043 2048 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2044 2049 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2045 2050 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2046 2051 users' persisted data.
2047 2052
2048 2053 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2049 2054 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2050 2055 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2051 2056 multiline input (such as macros).
2052 2057
2053 2058 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2054 2059 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2055 2060 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2056 2061 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2057 2062 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2058 2063 informative).
2059 2064
2060 2065 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2061 2066 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2062 2067
2063 2068 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2064 2069 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2065 2070 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2066 2071
2067 2072 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2068 2073 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2069 2074 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2070 2075 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2071 2076 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2072 2077 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2073 2078 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2074 2079 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2075 2080 details.
2076 2081
2077 2082 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2078 2083 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2079 2084 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2080 2085 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2081 2086 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2082 2087
2083 2088 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2084 2089 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2085 2090 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2086 2091 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2087 2092 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2088 2093
2089 2094 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2090 2095 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2091 2096 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2092 2097 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2093 2098 options to %logstart. Closes
2094 2099 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2095 2100 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2096 2101
2097 2102 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2098 2103
2099 2104 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2100 2105 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2101 2106 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2102 2107 list:
2103 2108 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2104 2109
2105 2110 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2106 2111
2107 2112 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2108 2113 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2109 2114 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2110 2115 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2111 2116
2112 2117 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2113 2118 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2114 2119 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2115 2120 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2116 2121 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2117 2122
2118 2123 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2119 2124 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2120 2125 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2121 2126 true by default.
2122 2127
2123 2128 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2124 2129 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2125 2130 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2126 2131 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2127 2132
2128 2133 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2129 2134
2130 2135 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2131 2136 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2132 2137 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2133 2138 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2134 2139 version committed).
2135 2140
2136 2141 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2137 2142 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2138 2143 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2139 2144 discussion on the user list.
2140 2145
2141 2146 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2142 2147 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2143 2148 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2144 2149 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2145 2150
2146 2151 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2147 2152
2148 2153 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2149 2154 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2150 2155 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2151 2156
2152 2157 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2153 2158 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2154 2159 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2155 2160
2156 2161 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2157 2162 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2158 2163 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2159 2164 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2160 2165 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2161 2166 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2162 2167 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2163 2168 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2164 2169 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2165 2170 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2166 2171 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2167 2172 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2168 2173 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2169 2174 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2170 2175 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2171 2176 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2172 2177 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2173 2178 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2174 2179 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2175 2180 branch refactoring.
2176 2181
2177 2182 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2178 2183
2179 2184 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2180 2185 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2181 2186
2182 2187 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2183 2188 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2184 2189 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2185 2190 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2186 2191 worked correctly).
2187 2192
2188 2193 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2189 2194 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2190 2195 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2191 2196
2192 2197 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2193 2198
2194 2199 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2195 2200 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2196 2201 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2197 2202 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2198 2203 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2199 2204 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2200 2205 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2201 2206 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2202 2207
2203 2208 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2204 2209
2205 2210 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2206 2211 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2207 2212 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2208 2213 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2209 2214 on this.
2210 2215
2211 2216 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2212 2217
2213 2218 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2214 2219 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2215 2220 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2216 2221 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2217 2222 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2218 2223
2219 2224 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2220 2225
2221 2226 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2222 2227 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2223 2228 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2224 2229 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2225 2230
2226 2231 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2227 2232
2228 2233 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2229 2234 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2230 2235 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2231 2236
2232 2237 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2233 2238
2234 2239 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2235 2240 startup time.
2236 2241
2237 2242 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2238 2243 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2239 2244 it's working in all cases.
2240 2245
2241 2246 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2242 2247 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2243 2248 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2244 2249 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2245 2250 per-search basis.

2247 2252 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2248 2253
2249 2254 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2250 2255 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2251 2256 of a patch by Jorgen.
2252 2257
2253 2258 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2254 2259
2255 2260 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2256 2261 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2257 2262 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2258 2263
2259 2264 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2260 2265
2261 2266 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2262 2267 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2263 2268 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2264 2269 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2265 2270
2266 2271 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2267 2272
2268 2273 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2269 2274 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2270 2275 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2271 2276 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2272 2277 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2273 2278 implementing this functionality.
2274 2279
2275 2280 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2276 2281
2277 2282 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2278 2283 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2279 2284 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2280 2285 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2281 2286 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2282 2287 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2283 2288 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2284 2289
2285 2290 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2286 2291
2287 2292 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2288 2293 reported by Stephen Walton.
2289 2294
2290 2295 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2291 2296
2292 2297 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2293 2298
2294 2299 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2295 2300 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2296 2301
2297 2302 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2298 2303
2299 2304 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2300 2305 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2301 2306
2302 2307 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2303 2308 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2304 2309
2305 2310 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2306 2311
2307 2312 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2308 2313 finishing.
2309 2314
2310 2315 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2311 2316 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2312 2317
2313 2318 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2314 2319 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2315 2320 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2316 2321
2317 2322 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2318 2323 code, handy in general.
2319 2324
2320 2325 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2321 2326 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2322 2327 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2323 2328
2324 2329 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2325 2330
2326 2331 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2327 2332 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2328 2333 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2329 2334 testing, though.
2330 2335 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2331 2336 like this before...
2332 2337
2333 2338 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2334 2339 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2335 2340
2336 2341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2337 2342 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2338 2343
2339 2344 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2340 2345
2341 2346 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2342 2347 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2343 2348 F. Mantegazza.
2344 2349
2345 2350 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2346 2351
2347 2352 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2348 2353 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2349 2354 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2350 2355
2351 2356 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2352 2357 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2353 2358 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2354 2359 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2355 2360 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2356 2361 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2357 2362
2358 2363 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2359 2364
2360 2365 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2361 2366 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2362 2367 beyond readline-based environments.
2363 2368
2364 2369 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2365 2370
2366 2371 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2367 2372
2368 2373 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2369 2374 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2370 2375 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2371 2376 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2372 2377 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2373 2378
2374 2379 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2375 2380
2376 2381 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2377 2382 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2378 2383 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2379 2384
2380 2385 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2386
2382 2387 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2383 2388
2384 2389 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2385 2390
2386 2391 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2387 2392 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2388 2393 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2389 2394 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2390 2395 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2391 2396 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2392 2397
2393 2398 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2394 2399
2395 2400 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2396 2401
2397 2402 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2398 2403
2399 2404 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2400 2405 invalid $HOME under win32.
2401 2406
2402 2407 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2403 2408
2404 2409 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2405 2410 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2406 2411 simpler and a bit faster.
2407 2412
2408 2413 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2409 2414 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2410 2415 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2411 2416 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2412 2417 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2413 2418
2414 2419 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2415 2420 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2416 2421 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2417 2422
2418 2423 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2419 2424 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2420 2425
2421 2426 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2422 2427 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2423 2428 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2424 2429 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2425 2430 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2426 2431 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2427 2432 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2428 2433
2429 2434 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2430 2435
2431 2436 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2432 2437
2433 2438 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2434 2439
2435 2440 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2436 2441 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2437 2442
2438 2443 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2439 2444
2440 2445 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2441 2446 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2442 2447 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2443 2448 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2444 2449 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2445 2450 for the contribution.
2446 2451
2447 2452 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2448 2453 slightly modified version of the patch in
2449 2454 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2450 2455 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2451 2456 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2452 2457
2453 2458 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2454 2459
2455 2460 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2456 2461 I/O a bit more.
2457 2462
2458 2463 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2459 2464 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2460 2465
2461 2466 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2462 2467
2463 2468 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2464 2469
2465 2470 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2466 2471 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2467 2472 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2468 2473 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2469 2474
2470 2475 readline_remove_delims -/~
2471 2476
2472 2477
2473 2478 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2474 2479
2475 2480 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2476 2481
2477 2482 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2478 2483 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2479 2484 <eli@gondolin.net>
2480 2485
2481 2486 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2482 2487
2483 2488 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2484 2489 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2485 2490
2486 2491 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2487 2492
2488 2493 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2489 2494 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2490 2495 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2491 2496
2492 2497 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2493 2498
2494 2499 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2495 2500 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2496 2501
2497 2502 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2498 2503
2499 2504 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2500 2505 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2501 2506
2502 2507 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2503 2508 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2504 2509 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2505 2510 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2506 2511 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2507 2512 for more details.
2508 2513
2509 2514 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2510 2515 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2511 2516 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2512 2517 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2513 2518
2514 2519 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2515 2520
2516 2521 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2517 2522 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2518 2523 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2519 2524 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2520 2525 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2521 2526
2522 2527 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2523 2528 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2524 2529 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2525 2530
2526 2531 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2527 2532
2528 2533 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2529 2534
2530 2535 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2531 2536
2532 2537 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2533 2538 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2534 2539 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2535 2540 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2536 2541 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2537 2542
2538 2543 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2539 2544
2540 2545 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2541 2546
2542 2547 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2543 2548 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2544 2549 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2545 2550 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2546 2551 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2547 2552
2548 2553 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2549 2554 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2550 2555 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2551 2556 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2552 2557 take the text parameter.
2553 2558
2554 2559 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2555 2560 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2556 2561 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2557 2562 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2558 2563 pysh profile to include the line
2559 2564
2560 2565 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2561 2566
2562 2567 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2563 2568 delete pysh.py and the line
2564 2569
2565 2570 execfile pysh.py
2566 2571
2567 2572 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2568 2573
2569 2574 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2570 2575 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2571 2576 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2572 2577 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2573 2578 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2574 2579
2575 2580 * pysh.py:
2576 2581
2577 2582 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2578 2583
2579 2584 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2580 2585 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2581 2586 want it can still turn it off.
2582 2587
2583 2588 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2584 2589 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2585 2590 off by default.
2586 2591
2587 2592 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2588 2593 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2589 2594 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2590 2595 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2591 2596 calls.

2593 2598 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2594 2599
2595 2600 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2596 2601 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2597 2602 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2598 2603
2599 2604 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2600 2605
2601 2606 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2602 2607 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2603 2608 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2604 2609 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2605 2610
2606 2611 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2607 2612 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2608 2613 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2609 2614 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2610 2615
2611 2616 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2612 2617
2613 2618 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2614 2619 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2615 2620
2616 2621 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2617 2622 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2618 2623 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2619 2624 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2620 2625 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2621 2626 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2622 2627 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2623 2628 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2624 2629
2625 2630 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2626 2631
2627 2632 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2628 2633 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2629 2634 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2630 2635 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2631 2636 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2632 2637 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2633 2638 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2634 2639 add new completers at runtime.
2635 2640
2636 2641 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2637 2642
2638 2643 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2639 2644 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2640 2645 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2641 2646 ? system.
2642 2647
2643 2648 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2644 2649 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2645 2650 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2646 2651 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2647 2652 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2648 2653 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2649 2654 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2650 2655 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2651 2656
2652 2657 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2653 2658
2654 2659 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2655 2660 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2656 2661 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2657 2662 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2658 2663 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2659 2664
2660 2665 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2661 2666 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2662 2667 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2663 2668 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2664 2669 add:
2665 2670
2666 2671 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2667 2672 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2668 2673
2669 2674 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2670 2675
2671 2676 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2672 2677 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2673 2678 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2674 2679 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2675 2680
2676 2681 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2677 2682 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2678 2683 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2679 2684 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2680 2685 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2681 2686 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2682 2687 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2683 2688 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2684 2689 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2685 2690
2686 2691 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2687 2692
2688 2693 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2689 2694 prompt namespace handling.
2690 2695
2691 2696 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2692 2697
2693 2698 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2694 2699 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2695 2700 trips the emacs python mode).
2696 2701 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2697 2702 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2698 2703 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2699 2704 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2700 2705 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2701 2706 calls will be made at runtime.
2702 2707
2703 2708 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2709
2705 2710 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2706 2711 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2707 2712 the call to %history.
2708 2713
2709 2714 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2710 2715
2711 2716 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2712 2717
2713 2718 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2714 2719 ipmagic() function calls.
2715 2720
2716 2721 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2717 2722 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2718 2723
2719 2724 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2720 2725
2721 2726 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2722 2727 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2723 2728 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2724 2729 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2725 2730 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2726 2731 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2727 2732 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2728 2733 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2729 2734
2730 2735 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2731 2736
2732 2737 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2733 2738 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2734 2739 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2735 2740 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2736 2741 Ville Vainio.
2737 2742
2738 2743 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2739 2744
2740 2745 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2741 2746 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2742 2747 define the ones they personally like.
2743 2748
2744 2749 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2745 2750
2746 2751 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2747 2752 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2748 2753
2749 2754 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2750 2755
2751 2756 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2752 2757 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2753 2758
2754 2759 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2755 2760 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2756 2761 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2757 2762 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2758 2763 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2759 2764 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2760 2765 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2761 2766 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2762 2767
2763 2768 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2764 2769 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2765 2770 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2766 2771 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2767 2772 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2768 2773
2769 2774 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2770 2775
2771 2776 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2772 2777 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2773 2778 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2774 2779
2775 2780 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2776 2781 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2777 2782 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2778 2783
2779 2784 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2780 2785
2781 2786 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2782 2787
2783 2788 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2784 2789 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2785 2790 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2786 2791 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2787 2792 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2788 2793 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2789 2794 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2790 2795 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2791 2796 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2792 2797 system is a separate implementation).
2793 2798
2794 2799 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2795 2800 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2796 2801 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2797 2802 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2798 2803 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2799 2804 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2800 2805 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2801 2806 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2802 2807 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2803 2808 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2804 2809 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2805 2810
2806 2811 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2807 2812
2808 2813 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2809 2814 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2810 2815 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2811 2816 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2812 2817 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2813 2818 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2814 2819 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2815 2820 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2816 2821
2817 2822 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2818 2823
2819 2824 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2820 2825 previous call produced a syntax error.
2821 2826
2822 2827 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2823 2828 classes without constructor.
2824 2829
2825 2830 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2826 2831
2827 2832 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2828 2833 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2829 2834 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2830 2835 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2831 2836 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2832 2837 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2833 2838 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2834 2839
2835 2840 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2836 2841
2837 2842 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2838 2843 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2839 2844
2840 2845 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2841 2846
2842 2847 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2843 2848 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2844 2849 optimizations.
2845 2850
2846 2851 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2847 2852 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2848 2853
2849 2854 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2850 2855
2851 2856 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2852 2857 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2853 2858 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2854 2859 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2855 2860 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2856 2861 avoid annoying the lists further.

2860 2865 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2861 2866
2862 2867 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2863 2868 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2864 2869 norm definitions.
2865 2870 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2866 2871 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2867 2872 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2868 2873
2869 2874 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2870 2875 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2871 2876 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2872 2877 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2873 2878 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2874 2879
2875 2880 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2876 2881 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2877 2882 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2878 2883 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2879 2884
2880 2885 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2881 2886 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2882 2887 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2883 2888 fixes.
2884 2889
2885 2890 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2886 2891 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2887 2892 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2888 2893 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2889 2894 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2890 2895 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2891 2896 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2895 2900 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2896 2901
2897 2902 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2898 2903 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2899 2904 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2900 2905 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2901 2906 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2902 2907 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2903 2908 Panel.
2904 2909
2905 2910 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2906 2911 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2907 2912 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2908 2913 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2909 2914 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2910 2915
2911 2916 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2912 2917
2913 2918 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2914 2919 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2915 2920
2916 2921 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8

2918 2923 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2924
2920 2925 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2921 2926 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2922 2927 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2923 2928 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2924 2929 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2925 2930 python shell.
2926 2931
2927 2932 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2928 2933 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2929 2934 on assignments. This closes
2930 2935 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2931 2936 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2932 2937 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2933 2938
2934 2939 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2935 2940
2936 2941 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2937 2942 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2938 2943
2939 2944 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2940 2945
2941 2946 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2942 2947
2943 2948 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2944 2949 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2945 2950
2946 2951 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2947 2952
2948 2953 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2949 2954 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2950 2955 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2951 2956
2952 2957 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2953 2958
2954 2959 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2955 2960 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2956 2961 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2957 2962
2958 2963 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2959 2964
2960 2965 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2961 2966 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2962 2967 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2963 2968
2964 2969 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2965 2970 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2966 2971 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2967 2972
2968 2973 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2969 2974
2970 2975 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2971 2976 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2972 2977
2973 2978 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2974 2979
2975 2980 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2976 2981 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2977 2982 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2978 2983
2979 2984 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2980 2985
2981 2986 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2982 2987 reported by Prabhu.
2983 2988 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2984 2989 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2985 2990 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2986 2991
2987 2992 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2988 2993 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2989 2994
2990 2995 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2991 2996 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2992 2997 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2993 2998 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2994 2999 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2995 3000 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2996 3001
2997 3002 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2998 3003
2999 3004 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3000 3005
3001 3006 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3002 3007 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3003 3008 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3004 3009 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3005 3010
3006 3011 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3007 3012 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3008 3013
3009 3014 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3010 3015 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3011 3016 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3012 3017 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3013 3018 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3014 3019 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3015 3020 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3016 3021
3017 3022 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3018 3023 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3019 3024 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3020 3025
3021 3026 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3022 3027 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3023 3028 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3024 3029 before.
3025 3030
3026 3031 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3027 3032
3028 3033 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3029 3034 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3030 3035 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3031 3036 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3032 3037
3033 3038 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3034 3039 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3035 3040 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3036 3041 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3037 3042 timing very short-running code.
3038 3043
3039 3044 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3040 3045 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3041 3046 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3042 3047 utility.
3043 3048
3044 3049 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3045 3050 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3046 3051 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3047 3052 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3048 3053 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3049 3054 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3050 3055 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3051 3056 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3052 3057
3053 3058 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3054 3059 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3055 3060 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3056 3061
3057 3062 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3058 3063 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3059 3064 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3060 3065 is for).
3061 3066
3062 3067 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3063 3068 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3064 3069 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3065 3070 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3066 3071 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3067 3072
3068 3073 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3069 3074
3070 3075 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3071 3076 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3072 3077 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3073 3078 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3074 3079 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3075 3080
3076 3081 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3077 3082 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3078 3083 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3079 3084 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3080 3085 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3081 3086 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3082 3087
3083 3088 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3084 3089
3085 3090 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3086 3091 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3087 3092
3088 3093 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3094
3090 3095 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3091 3096 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3092 3097 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3093 3098 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3094 3099
3095 3100 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3096 3101
3097 3102 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3098 3103
3099 3104 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3100 3105 setting with -d option.
3101 3106
3102 3107 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3103 3108 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3104 3109 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3105 3110 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3106 3111
3107 3112 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3108 3113
3109 3114 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3110 3115 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3111 3116
3112 3117 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3113 3118 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3114 3119 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3115 3120 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3116 3121 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3117 3122 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3118 3123 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3119 3124 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3120 3125 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3121 3126 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3122 3127 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3123 3128
3124 3129 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3125 3130
3126 3131 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3127 3132 cache when empty lines were present.
3128 3133
3129 3134 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3130 3135
3131 3136 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3132 3137 options for WX and GTK.
3133 3138
3134 3139 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3135 3140
3136 3141 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3137 3142 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3138 3143 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3139 3144 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3140 3145 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3141 3146 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3142 3147 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3143 3148
3144 3149 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3145 3150 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3146 3151
3147 3152 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3148 3153
3149 3154 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3150 3155 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3151 3156 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3152 3157 many thanks.
3153 3158
3154 3159 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3155 3160 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3156 3161 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3157 3162
3158 3163 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3159 3164
3160 3165 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3161 3166 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3162 3167 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3163 3168
3164 3169 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3165 3170
3166 3171 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3167 3172
3168 3173 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3169 3174 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3170 3175 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3171 3176
3172 3177 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3173 3178
3174 3179 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3175 3180 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3176 3181
3177 3182 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3178 3183
3179 3184 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3180 3185 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3181 3186 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3182 3187 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3183 3188 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3184 3189 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3185 3190 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3186 3191
3187 3192 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3188 3193
3189 3194 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3190 3195 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3191 3196 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3192 3197 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3193 3198
3194 3199 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3195 3200 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3196 3201
3197 3202 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3198 3203
3199 3204 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3200 3205 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3201 3206
3202 3207 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3203 3208 use throughout ipython.
3204 3209
3205 3210 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3206 3211 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3207 3212
3208 3213 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3209 3214 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3210 3215 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3211 3216 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3212 3217
3213 3218 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3214 3219
3215 3220 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3216 3221 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3217 3222 report by Francesc Alted.
3218 3223
3219 3224 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3220 3225
3221 3226 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3222 3227 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3223 3228
3224 3229 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3225 3230
3226 3231 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3227 3232 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3228 3233 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3229 3234 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3230 3235 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3231 3236 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3232 3237 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3233 3238 correctly set.
3234 3239
3235 3240 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3238 3243 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3239 3244 import requirement of PEP-328.
3240 3245
3241 3246 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3242 3247 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3243 3248 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3244 3249 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3245 3250
3246 3251 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3247 3252
3248 3253 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3254
3250 3255 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3251 3256 via a normal python function call.
3252 3257
3253 3258 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3254 3259 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3255 3260 2.4.
3256 3261
3257 3262 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3263
3259 3264 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3260 3265 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3261 3266 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3262 3267 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3263 3268 is given to the user).
3264 3269
3265 3270 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3266 3271
3267 3272 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3268 3273 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3269 3274 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3270 3275 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3271 3276
3272 3277 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3273 3278 python 2.2.
3274 3279
3275 3280 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3276 3281 banner arg for embedded customization.
3277 3282
3278 3283 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3279 3284 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3280 3285 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3281 3286 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3282 3287 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3283 3288 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3284 3289
3285 3290 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3286 3291 minor changes to debian dir.
3287 3292
3288 3293 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3289 3294 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3290 3295 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3291 3296 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).

3293 3298 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3294 3299
3295 3300 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3296 3301 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3297 3302 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3298 3303 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3299 3304 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3300 3305
3301 3306 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3302 3307
3303 3308 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3304 3309 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3305 3310
3306 3311 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3307 3312
3308 3313 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3309 3314 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3310 3315
3311 3316 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3312 3317
3313 3318 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3314 3319
3315 3320 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3316 3321 updated.
3317 3322
3318 3323 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3319 3324
3320 3325 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3321 3326 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3322 3327 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3323 3328 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3324 3329 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3325 3330
3326 3331 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3327 3332 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3328 3333 split regexp. Closes
3329 3334 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3330 3335 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3331 3336 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3332 3337 extensions.
3333 3338
3334 3339 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3335 3340 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3336 3341 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3337 3342 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3338 3343 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3339 3344
3340 3345 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3341 3346 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3342 3347 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3343 3348 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3344 3349
3345 3350 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3346 3351 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3347 3352
3348 3353 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3349 3354 fine-tune banner.
3350 3355
3351 3356 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3352 3357 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3353 3358
3354 3359 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3355 3360
3356 3361 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3357 3362 were missing.
3358 3363
3359 3364 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3360 3365 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3361 3366 valid at the command line.
3362 3367
3363 3368 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3364 3369 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3365 3370
3366 3371 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3367 3372
3368 3373 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3369 3374 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3370 3375 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3371 3376
3372 3377 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3373 3378
3374 3379 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3375 3380 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3376 3381 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3377 3382 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3378 3383 continue to use the standard profiler.
3379 3384
3380 3385 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3386
3382 3387 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3383 3388 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3384 3389 close.
3385 3390
3386 3391 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3387 3392
3388 3393 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3389 3394 in Magic and ultraTB.
3390 3395
3391 3396 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3392 3397
3393 3398 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3394 3399 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3395 3400 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3396 3401 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3397 3402
3398 3403 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3399 3404 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3400 3405 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3401 3406 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3402 3407 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3403 3408 infrastructure in place.
3404 3409
3405 3410 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3406 3411
3407 3412 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3408 3413
3409 3414 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3410 3415 the pylab profile.
3411 3416
3412 3417 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3413 3418
3414 3419 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3415 3420
3416 3421 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3417 3422 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3418 3423 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3419 3424 itself.
3420 3425
3421 3426 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3422 3427 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3423 3428 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3424 3429 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3425 3430 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3426 3431 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3427 3432 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3428 3433 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3429 3434
3430 3435 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3431 3436 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3432 3437
3433 3438 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3434 3439
3435 3440 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3436 3441 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3437 3442 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3438 3443
3439 3444 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3440 3445
3441 3446 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3442 3447 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3443 3448
3444 3449 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3445 3450
3446 3451 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3447 3452
3448 3453 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3449 3454
3450 3455 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3451 3456
3452 3457 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3453 3458 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3454 3459 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3455 3460
3456 3461 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3457 3462
3458 3463 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3459 3464 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3460 3465 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3461 3466 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3462 3467 works.
3463 3468
3464 3469 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3465 3470 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3466 3471 practice.
3467 3472
3468 3473 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3469 3474
3470 3475 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3471 3476 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3472 3477 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3473 3478
3474 3479 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3475 3480
3476 3481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3477 3482 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3478 3483 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3479 3484 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3480 3485
3481 3486 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3482 3487
3483 3488 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3484 3489 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3485 3490 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3486 3491 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3487 3492
3488 3493 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3489 3494
3490 3495 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3491 3496
3492 3497 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3493 3498 fail for any number.
3494 3499 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3495 3500 empty bookmarks.
3496 3501
3497 3502 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3498 3503
3499 3504 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3500 3505
3501 3506 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3502 3507
3503 3508 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3504 3509 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3505 3510
3506 3511 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3507 3512 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3508 3513
3509 3514 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3510 3515
3511 3516 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3512 3517 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3513 3518 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3514 3519 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3515 3520 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3516 3521
3517 3522 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3518 3523
3519 3524 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3520 3525 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3521 3526
3522 3527 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3523 3528
3524 3529 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3525 3530 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3526 3531 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3527 3532 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3528 3533
3529 3534 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3530 3535 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3531 3536 Schmolck.
3532 3537
3533 3538 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3534 3539
3535 3540 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3536 3541
3537 3542 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3538 3543 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3539 3544
3540 3545 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3541 3546 optimizations.
3542 3547
3543 3548 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3544 3549 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3545 3550
3546 3551 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3547 3552 --Started changelog.
3548 3553 --make clear do what it say it does
3549 3554 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3550 3555 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3551 3556 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3552 3557 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3553 3558 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3554 3559 can be done for other cases.
3555 3560 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3556 3561 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3557 3562 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3558 3563
3559 3564 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3560 3565 --added logfile rotation
3561 3566 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3562 3567
3563 3568 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3564 3569 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3565 3570 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3566 3571 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3567 3572 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3568 3573 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3569 3574 --added global logfile option
3570 3575 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3571 3576 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3572 3577
3573 3578 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3574 3579 --added a README
3575 3580 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3576 3581 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3577 3582 bug or feature.
3578 3583 --changed rc file for new behavior
3579 3584
3580 3585 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3586
3582 3587 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3583 3588 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3584 3589 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3585 3590
3586 3591 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3587 3592 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3588 3593
3589 3594 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3590 3595
3591 3596 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3592 3597 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3593 3598 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3594 3599 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3595 3600 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3596 3601 and prepended with a #.
3597 3602
3598 3603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3599 3604 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3600 3605
3601 3606 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3602 3607
3603 3608 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3604 3609 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3605 3610
3606 3611 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3607 3612
3608 3613 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3609 3614 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3610 3615
3611 3616 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3612 3617
3613 3618 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3614 3619 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3615 3620 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3616 3621
3617 3622 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3618 3623
3619 3624 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3620 3625 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3621 3626
3622 3627 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3623 3628 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3624 3629 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3625 3630 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3626 3631 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3627 3632 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3628 3633 be implemented later).
3629 3634
3630 3635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3631 3636 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3632 3637 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3633 3638 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3634 3639
3635 3640 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3636 3641 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3637 3642 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3638 3643
3639 3644 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3640 3645 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3641 3646
3642 3647 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3643 3648 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3644 3649 readline make it impossible to go further.
3645 3650
3646 3651 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3647 3652
3648 3653 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3649 3654 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3650 3655
3651 3656 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3652 3657
3653 3658 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3654 3659 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3655 3660 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3656 3661 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3657 3662
3658 3663 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3659 3664 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3660 3665 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3661 3666 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3662 3667
3663 3668 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3664 3669 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3665 3670 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3666 3671 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3667 3672 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3668 3673 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3669 3674 problem.
3670 3675
3671 3676 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3672 3677 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3673 3678
3674 3679 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3675 3680 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3676 3681 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3677 3682
3678 3683 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3679 3684
3680 3685 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3681 3686 continue prompts.
3682 3687
3683 3688 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3684 3689 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3685 3690 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3686 3691 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3687 3692 byte-compilation saves time.
3688 3693
3689 3694 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3695
3691 3696 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3692 3697 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3693 3698
3694 3699 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3695 3700 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3696 3701
3697 3702 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3698 3703 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3699 3704 common cases where it's a problem.
3700 3705
3701 3706 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3702 3707
3703 3708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3704 3709 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3705 3710 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3706 3711 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3707 3712 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3708 3713 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3709 3714
3710 3715 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3711 3716
3712 3717 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3713 3718 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3714 3719
3715 3720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3716 3721 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3717 3722 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3718 3723 structure as win_exec_ext.
3719 3724
3720 3725 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3721 3726 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3722 3727
3723 3728 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3724 3729 delete aliases.
3725 3730
3726 3731 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3727 3732 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3728 3733
3729 3734 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3730 3735
3731 3736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3732 3737 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3733 3738
3734 3739 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3735 3740
3736 3741 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3737 3742 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3738 3743
3739 3744 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3740 3745 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3741 3746
3742 3747 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3743 3748 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3744 3749 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3745 3750 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3746 3751 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3747 3752 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3748 3753
3749 3754 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3750 3755 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3751 3756 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3752 3757
3753 3758 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3754 3759 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3755 3760 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3756 3761
3757 3762 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3758 3763 via an extra $. For example:
3759 3764
3760 3765 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3761 3766
3762 3767 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3763 3768 a python variable
3764 3769
3765 3770 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3766 3771 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3767 3772
3768 3773 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3769 3774 things prematurely.
3770 3775
3771 3776 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3772 3777 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3773 3778
3774 3779 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3775 3780 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3776 3781 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3777 3782 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3778 3783 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3779 3784 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3780 3785 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3781 3786 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3782 3787
3783 3788 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3784 3789 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3785 3790 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3786 3791 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3787 3792 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3788 3793 with the old system).
3789 3794
3790 3795 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3791 3796
3792 3797 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3793 3798 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3794 3799
3795 3800 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3796 3801 call to eval.
3797 3802 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3798 3803 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3799 3804 in.
3800 3805
3801 3806 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3802 3807
3803 3808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3804 3809 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3805 3810 confusion).
3806 3811
3807 3812 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3808 3813 check for Windows users.
3809 3814
3810 3815 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3811 3816 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3812 3817 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3813 3818 download it.
3814 3819
3815 3820 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3816 3821
3817 3822 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3818 3823 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3819 3824 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3820 3825 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3821 3826 of IDLE's out).
3822 3827
3823 3828 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3824 3829 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3825 3830 eventually.
3826 3831 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3827 3832
3828 3833 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3829 3834
3830 3835 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3831 3836 list of auto-defined aliases.
3832 3837
3833 3838 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3834 3839
3835 3840 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3836 3841 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3837 3842 things under Windows).
3838 3843
3839 3844 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3840 3845
3841 3846 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3842 3847 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3843 3848 reported by Thorsten.
3844 3849
3845 3850 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3846 3851
3847 3852 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3848 3853 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3849 3854 for all examples and the manual as well.
3850 3855
3851 3856 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3857
3853 3858 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3854 3859 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3855 3860 inherit from BasePrompt.
3856 3861
3857 3862 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3858 3863 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3859 3864
3860 3865 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3861 3866 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3862 3867 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3863 3868 defaults.
3864 3869 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3865 3870 this fix manually!
3866 3871
3867 3872 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3868 3873 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3869 3874 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3870 3875 distutils).
3871 3876
3872 3877 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3873 3878 usage of new '\D' escape.
3874 3879
3875 3880 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3876 3881 lacks os.getuid())
3877 3882 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3878 3883 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3879 3884 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3880 3885 handling mechanism.
3881 3886 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3882 3887 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3883 3888 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3884 3889 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3885 3890 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3886 3891 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3887 3892 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3888 3893
3889 3894 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3890 3895
3891 3896 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3892 3897 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3893 3898 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3894 3899
3895 3900 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3896 3901 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3897 3902 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3898 3903 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3899 3904 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3900 3905 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3901 3906 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3902 3907 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3903 3908
3904 3909 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3905 3910 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3906 3911 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3907 3912 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3908 3913 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3909 3914 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3910 3915 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3911 3916 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3912 3917
3913 3918 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3914 3919 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3915 3920 functions uniform.
3916 3921 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3917 3922
3918 3923 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3919 3924 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3920 3925 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3921 3926 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3922 3927 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3923 3928 use to parse their options.
3924 3929
3925 3930 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3926 3931 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3927 3932 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3928 3933
3929 3934 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3930 3935 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3931 3936 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3932 3937 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3933 3938 via the prompt_specials.
3934 3939
3935 3940 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3936 3941
3937 3942 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3938 3943 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3939 3944 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3940 3945 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3941 3946 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3942 3947 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3943 3948 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3944 3949 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3945 3950
3946 3951 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3947 3952
3948 3953 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3949 3954 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3950 3955 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3951 3956
3952 3957 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3953 3958
3954 3959 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3955 3960 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3956 3961
3957 3962 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3958 3963
3959 3964 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3960 3965 parens would get passed to the shell.
3961 3966
3962 3967 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3963 3968
3964 3969 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3965 3970 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3966 3971
3967 3972 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3968 3973 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3969 3974 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3970 3975 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3971 3976 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3972 3977
3973 3978 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3974 3979 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3975 3980 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3976 3981 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3977 3982
3978 3983 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3979 3984
3980 3985 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3981 3986
3982 3987 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3983 3988 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3984 3989 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3985 3990
3986 3991 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3987 3992 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3988 3993 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3989 3994 official documentation.
3990 3995
3991 3996 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3992 3997
3993 3998 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3994 3999 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3995 4000 explicit filename.
3996 4001
3997 4002 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4003
3999 4004 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4000 4005 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4001 4006 case.
4002 4007
4003 4008 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4004 4009 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4005 4010 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4006 4011

4008 4013
4009 4014 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4010 4015
4011 4016 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4012 4017 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4013 4018 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4014 4019 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4015 4020 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4016 4021 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4017 4022 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4018 4023 any changes to python proper.
4019 4024
4020 4025 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4021 4026 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4022 4027 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4023 4028 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4024 4029 Schmolck.
4025 4030
4026 4031 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4027 4032
4028 4033 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4029 4034 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4030 4035 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4031 4036 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4032 4037
4033 4038 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4034 4039
4035 4040 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4036 4041 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4037 4042 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4038 4043 name).
4039 4044
4040 4045 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4041 4046 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4042 4047 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4043 4048 Francois Pinard.
4044 4049
4045 4050 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4051
4047 4052 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4048 4053 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4049 4054 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4050 4055 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4051 4056 not work.
4052 4057
4053 4058 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4054 4059
4055 4060 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4056 4061 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4057 4062 distinguishes stdout/err.
4058 4063
4059 4064 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4060 4065 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4061 4066 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4062 4067 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4063 4068 the standard library.
4064 4069
4065 4070 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4066 4071 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4067 4072
4068 4073 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4069 4074 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4070 4075
4071 4076 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4072 4077
4073 4078 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4074 4079 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4075 4080 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4076 4081 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4077 4082 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4078 4083 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4079 4084
4080 4085 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4086
4082 4087 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4083 4088 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4084 4089 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4085 4090 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4086 4091
4087 4092 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4093
4089 4094 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4090 4095 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4091 4096 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4092 4097 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4093 4098
4094 4099 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4095 4100
4096 4101 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4097 4102 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4098 4103 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4099 4104 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4100 4105 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4101 4106 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4102 4107 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4103 4108 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4104 4109
4105 4110 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4106 4111
4107 4112 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4108 4113 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4109 4114
4110 4115 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4111 4116
4112 4117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4113 4118 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4114 4119 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4115 4120 very short.
4116 4121
4117 4122 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4118 4123
4119 4124 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4120 4125 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4121 4126 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4122 4127 this before making it permanent.
4123 4128
4124 4129 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4125 4130 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4126 4131 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4127 4132 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4128 4133
4129 4134 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4130 4135
4131 4136 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4132 4137 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4133 4138
4134 4139 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4135 4140
4136 4141 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4137 4142 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4138 4143 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4139 4144 cases I've missed.
4140 4145
4141 4146 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4142 4147
4143 4148 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4144 4149 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4145 4150 system would be triggered for @p.
4146 4151
4147 4152 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4148 4153 cleanups, code unmodified.
4149 4154
4150 4155 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4151 4156 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4152 4157 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4153 4158 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4154 4159 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4155 4160 The actual changes affect many files.
4156 4161
4157 4162 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4158 4163
4159 4164 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4160 4165 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4161 4166 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4162 4167
4163 4168 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4164 4169
4165 4170 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4166 4171 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4167 4172
4168 4173 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4169 4174
4170 4175 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4171 4176 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4172 4177 numpy list.
4173 4178
4174 4179 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4175 4180
4176 4181 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4177 4182 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4178 4183 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4179 4184 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4180 4185
4181 4186 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4182 4187
4183 4188 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4184 4189 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4185 4190 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4186 4191 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4187 4192
4188 4193 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4189 4194 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4190 4195
4191 4196 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4192 4197
4193 4198 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4194 4199 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4195 4200 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4196 4201 Collins.
4197 4202
4198 4203 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4199 4204
4200 4205 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4201 4206
4202 4207 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4203 4208 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4204 4209 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4205 4210
4206 4211 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4207 4212
4208 4213 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4209 4214 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4210 4215 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4211 4216 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4212 4217
4213 4218 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4214 4219 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4215 4220 __getitem__ and __call__.
4216 4221
4217 4222 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4218 4223
4219 4224 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4220 4225
4221 4226 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4222 4227 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4223 4228 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4224 4229 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4225 4230
4226 4231 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4227 4232 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4228 4233 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4229 4234 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4230 4235 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4231 4236 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4232 4237 necessary.
4233 4238
4234 4239 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4235 4240 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4236 4241 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4237 4242
4238 4243 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4239 4244 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4240 4245 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4241 4246 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4242 4247
4243 4248 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4244 4249 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4245 4250 generators.
4246 4251
4247 4252 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4248 4253 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4249 4254 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4250 4255 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4251 4256 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4252 4257 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4253 4258 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4254 4259
4255 4260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4256 4261 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4257 4262 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4258 4263 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4259 4264 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4260 4265
4261 4266 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4262 4267 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4263 4268 edit under some circumstances.
4264 4269 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4265 4270 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4266 4271 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4267 4272 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4268 4273 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4269 4274 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4270 4275 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4271 4276 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4272 4277 need more testing.
4273 4278
4274 4279 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4275 4280
4276 4281 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4277 4282 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4278 4283 and simpler code.
4279 4284
4280 4285 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4281 4286
4282 4287 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4283 4288 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4284 4289 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4285 4290 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4286 4291 even if they were contiguous.
4287 4292 (l1norm): Added this function.
4288 4293 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4289 4294 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4290 4295 and speed.
4291 4296
4292 4297 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4293 4298
4294 4299 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4295 4300 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4296 4301 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4297 4302
4298 4303 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4299 4304
4300 4305 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4301 4306 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4302 4307 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4303 4308
4304 4309 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4305 4310 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4306 4311 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4307 4312
4308 4313 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4314
4310 4315 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4311 4316 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4312 4317 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4313 4318 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4314 4319 activity.
4315 4320
4316 4321 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4317 4322
4318 4323 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4319 4324 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4320 4325 Numeric.identity)
4321 4326
4322 4327 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4323 4328
4324 4329 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4325 4330 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4326 4331 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4327 4332
4328 4333 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4329 4334
4330 4335 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4331 4336 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4332 4337 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4333 4338 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4334 4339
4335 4340 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4336 4341 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4337 4342 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4338 4343 is implemented).
4339 4344
4340 4345 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4341 4346
4342 4347 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4343 4348 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4344 4349 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4345 4350
4346 4351 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4347 4352 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4348 4353 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4349 4354 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4350 4355 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4351 4356
4352 4357 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4353 4358
4354 4359 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4355 4360
4356 4361 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4357 4362 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4358 4363 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4359 4364
4360 4365 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4361 4366
4362 4367 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4363 4368 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4364 4369 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4365 4370
4366 4371 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4367 4372 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4368 4373 crash report from Prabhu.
4369 4374
4370 4375 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4371 4376
4372 4377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4373 4378 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4374 4379 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4375 4380 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4376 4381 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4377 4382 also be useful in other cases.
4378 4383
4379 4384 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4380 4385 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4381 4386 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4382 4387
4383 4388 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4384 4389
4385 4390 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4386 4391
4387 4392 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4388 4393 installing for a new user under Windows.
4389 4394
4390 4395 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4391 4396
4392 4397 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4393 4398 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4394 4399 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4395 4400 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4396 4401 there.
4397 4402
4398 4403 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4399 4404 info to crash reports.
4400 4405
4401 4406 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4402 4407 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4403 4408 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4404 4409 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4405 4410
4406 4411 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4407 4412
4408 4413 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4409 4414 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4410 4415 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4411 4416 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4412 4417
4413 4418 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4414 4419
4415 4420 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4416 4421 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4417 4422
4418 4423 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4419 4424
4420 4425 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4421 4426 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4422 4427
4423 4428 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4424 4429
4425 4430 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4426 4431
4427 4432 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4428 4433 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4429 4434 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4430 4435
4431 4436 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4432 4437 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4433 4438 with the new auto-indent option.
4434 4439
4435 4440 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4436 4441
4437 4442 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4438 4443 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4439 4444 this class from the main Shell class.
4440 4445
4441 4446 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4442 4447 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4443 4448 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4444 4449 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4445 4450 option).
4446 4451
4447 4452 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4448 4453 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4449 4454 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4450 4455 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4451 4456 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4452 4457
4453 4458 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4454 4459 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4455 4460 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4456 4461
4457 4462 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4458 4463 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4459 4464 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4460 4465 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4461 4466 tracebacks.
4462 4467
4463 4468 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4464 4469 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4465 4470 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4466 4471
4467 4472 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4468 4473
4469 4474 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4470 4475 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4471 4476 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4472 4477 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4473 4478
4474 4479 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4475 4480
4476 4481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4477 4482 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4478 4483 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4479 4484 for the bug report.
4480 4485
4481 4486 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4482 4487
4483 4488 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4484 4489 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4485 4490 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4486 4491 report.
4487 4492
4488 4493 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4489 4494
4490 4495 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4491 4496 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4492 4497 end).
4493 4498
4494 4499 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4495 4500 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4496 4501 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4497 4502
4498 4503 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4499 4504
4500 4505 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4501 4506 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4502 4507 for the patch.
4503 4508
4504 4509 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4510
4506 4511 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4507 4512 functions.
4508 4513
4509 4514 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4511 4516 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4512 4517
4513 4518 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4514 4519 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4515 4520 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4516 4521 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4517 4522 private fix.
4518 4523
4519 4524 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4520 4525 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4521 4526 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4522 4527 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4523 4528 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4524 4529 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4525 4530 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4526 4531 fixed for this setup.
4527 4532
4528 4533 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4529 4534 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4530 4535
4531 4536 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4532 4537
4533 4538 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4534 4539
4535 4540 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4536 4541 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4537 4542 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4538 4543 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4539 4544 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4540 4545 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4541 4546 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4542 4547 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4543 4548 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4544 4549
4545 4550 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4546 4551 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4547 4552 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4548 4553
4549 4554 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4550 4555
4551 4556 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4552 4557
4553 4558 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4554 4559 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4555 4560 pickle-related issue in @run).
4556 4561
4557 4562 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4558 4563
4559 4564 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4560 4565 the autocall option at runtime.
4561 4566 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4562 4567 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4563 4568 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4564 4569 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4565 4570 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4566 4571 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4567 4572 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4568 4573 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4569 4574 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4570 4575 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4571 4576 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4572 4577 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4573 4578 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4574 4579 pickles to save something sensible.
4575 4580
4576 4581 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4577 4582
4578 4583 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4579 4584 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4580 4585 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4581 4586
4582 4587 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4583 4588
4584 4589 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4585 4590 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4586 4591
4587 4592 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4588 4593
4589 4594 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4590 4595 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4591 4596 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4592 4597 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4593 4598
4594 4599 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4595 4600
4596 4601 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4597 4602 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4598 4603 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4599 4604 array is non-contiguous.
4600 4605
4601 4606 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4602 4607
4603 4608 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4604 4609 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4605 4610 executed).
4606 4611 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4607 4612 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4608 4613 output.
4609 4614 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4610 4615 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4611 4616 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4612 4617 changing.
4613 4618
4614 4619 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4615 4620
4616 4621 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4617 4622
4618 4623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4619 4624 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4620 4625 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4621 4626 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4622 4627 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4623 4628 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4624 4629 like a normal command-line.
4625 4630
4626 4631 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4627 4632 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4628 4633 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4629 4634 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4630 4635
4631 4636 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4632 4637
4633 4638 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4634 4639 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4635 4640 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4636 4641 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4637 4642
4638 4643 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4639 4644
4640 4645 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4641 4646 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4642 4647 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4643 4648 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4644 4649 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4645 4650 think it's worth doing.

4649 4654 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4650 4655
4651 4656 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4652 4657 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4653 4658
4654 4659 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4655 4660 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4656 4661 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4657 4662 also work ok.

4661 4666 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4667
4663 4668 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4664 4669
4665 4670 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4666 4671 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4667 4672 of gnuplot data files.
4668 4673
4669 4674 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4670 4675
4671 4676 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4672 4677 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4673 4678
4674 4679 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4675 4680
4676 4681 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4677 4682 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4678 4683 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4679 4684 for pointing this out.
4680 4685
4681 4686 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4682 4687
4683 4688 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4684 4689
4685 4690 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4686 4691 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4687 4692 Interactive.
4688 4693
4689 4694 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4690 4695 being imported from iplib.
4691 4696
4692 4697 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4693 4698 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4694 4699 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4695 4700 common name.
4696 4701
4697 4702 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4698 4703 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4699 4704
4700 4705 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4701 4706 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4702 4707
4703 4708 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4704 4709 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4705 4710 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4706 4711 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4707 4712 docstrings).
4708 4713
4709 4714 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4710 4715
4711 4716 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4712 4717 (inconsistent with options).
4713 4718
4714 4719 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4715 4720 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4716 4721 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4717 4722 eps output.

4719 4724 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4720 4725
4721 4726 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4722 4727 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4723 4728 Pinard.
4724 4729
4725 4730 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4726 4731
4727 4732 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4728 4733 history file for new users.
4729 4734 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4730 4735 user running in the .ipython dir.
4731 4736 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4732 4737 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4733 4738 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4734 4739
4735 4740 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4736 4741 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4737 4742 consistently.
4738 4743
4739 4744 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4740 4745 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4741 4746 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4742 4747 libraries I don't have access to.
4743 4748
4744 4749 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4745 4750 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4746 4751 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4747 4752 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4748 4753 report.
4749 4754
4750 4755 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4751 4756
4752 4757 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4753 4758 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4754 4759 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4755 4760 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4756 4761
4757 4762 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4758 4763
4759 4764 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4760 4765 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4761 4766 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4762 4767 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4763 4768 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4764 4769 instance has been created.
4765 4770
4766 4771 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4767 4772 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4768 4773 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4769 4774 dict by hand.
4770 4775
4771 4776 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4772 4777
4773 4778 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4774 4779 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4775 4780 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4776 4781 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4777 4782 broken.
4778 4783
4779 4784 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4780 4785 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4781 4786 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4782 4787 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4783 4788
4784 4789 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4785 4790 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4786 4791 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4787 4792 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4788 4793 is a valid one.
4789 4794
4790 4795 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4791 4796 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4792 4797 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4793 4798
4794 4799 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4795 4800 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4796 4801 simply leftover junk.
4797 4802
4798 4803 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4799 4804
4800 4805 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4801 4806 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4802 4807 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4803 4808
4804 4809 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4805 4810 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4806 4811 exceptions.
4807 4812
4808 4813 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4809 4814
4810 4815 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4811 4816 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4812 4817 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4813 4818 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4814 4819 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4815 4820
4816 4821 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4817 4822 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4818 4823
4819 4824 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4820 4825 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4821 4826 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4822 4827 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4823 4828 problem mentioned below.
4824 4829
4825 4830 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4826 4831
4827 4832 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4828 4833 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4829 4834
4830 4835 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4831 4836 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4832 4837 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4833 4838 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4834 4839 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4835 4840
4836 4841 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4837 4842 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4838 4843 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4839 4844 actual function names.
4840 4845
4841 4846 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4842 4847 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4843 4848 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4844 4849 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4845 4850 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4846 4851 really be only function/method names.
4847 4852
4848 4853 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4849 4854
4850 4855 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4851 4856 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4852 4857 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4853 4858
4854 4859 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4855 4860
4856 4861 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4857 4862 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4858 4863 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4859 4864
4860 4865 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4861 4866 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4862 4867
4863 4868 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4864 4869 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4865 4870 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4866 4871
4867 4872 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4868 4873 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4869 4874 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4870 4875
4871 4876 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4872 4877 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4873 4878 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4874 4879
4875 4880 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4876 4881
4877 4882 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4878 4883 Gnuplot.File objects.
4879 4884
4880 4885 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4886
4882 4887 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4883 4888 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4884 4889 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4885 4890
4886 4891 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4887 4892
4888 4893 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4889 4894 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4890 4895
4891 4896 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4892 4897 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4893 4898
4894 4899 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4895 4900 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4896 4901
4897 4902 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4898 4903
4899 4904 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4900 4905 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4901 4906 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4902 4907 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4903 4908
4904 4909 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4905 4910
4906 4911 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4907 4912 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4908 4913 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4909 4914
4910 4915 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4911 4916
4912 4917 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4913 4918 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4914 4919 workaround).
4915 4920
4916 4921 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4922
4918 4923 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4919 4924 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4920 4925
4921 4926 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4922 4927
4923 4928 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4924 4929 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4925 4930
4926 4931 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4927 4932 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4928 4933 .strip() is called on it.
4929 4934
4930 4935
4931 4936 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4932 4937
4933 4938 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4934 4939 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4935 4940 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4936 4941
4937 4942 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4938 4943 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4939 4944
4940 4945 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4941 4946 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4942 4947 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4943 4948
4944 4949 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4945 4950
4946 4951 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4947 4952 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4948 4953 __main__.
4949 4954
4950 4955 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4951 4956 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4952 4957
4953 4958 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4954 4959 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4955 4960 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4956 4961 Mathematica behaves.
4957 4962
4958 4963 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4959 4964
4960 4965 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4961 4966 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4962 4967
4963 4968 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4964 4969 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4965 4970 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4966 4971
4967 4972 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4968 4973 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4969 4974
4970 4975 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4971 4976
4972 4977 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4973 4978 underflow problems in Numeric.
4974 4979 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4975 4980 for exact integer powers of 2.
4976 4981
4977 4982 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4978 4983 properly.
4979 4984
4980 4985 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4986
4982 4987 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4983 4988 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4984 4989
4985 4990 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4986 4991
4987 4992 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4988 4993 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4989 4994
4990 4995 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4991 4996
4992 4997 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4993 4998 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4994 4999 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4995 5000 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4996 5001 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4997 5002 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4998 5003 times).
4999 5004
5000 5005 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5001 5006 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5002 5007 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5003 5008
5004 5009 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5005 5010
5006 5011 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5007 5012 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5008 5013 embedded code.
5009 5014
5010 5015 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5011 5016 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5012 5017 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5013 5018
5014 5019 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5015 5020 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5016 5021 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5017 5022 less special-casing to remember.
5018 5023
5019 5024 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5020 5025
5021 5026 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5022 5027 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5023 5028 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5024 5029 arg is not a defined object.
5025 5030 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5026 5031 a Mike Heeter idea.
5027 5032
5028 5033 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5029 5034 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5030 5035 interactive use.
5031 5036
5032 5037 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5033 5038 filenames.
5034 5039
5035 5040 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5036 5041
5037 5042 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5038 5043 initialization via another struct.
5039 5044
5040 5045 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5041 5046 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5042 5047
5043 5048 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5044 5049
5045 5050 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5046 5051 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5047 5052 too big).
5048 5053
5049 5054 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5050 5055
5051 5056 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5052 5057 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5053 5058 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5054 5059 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5055 5060
5056 5061 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5057 5062
5058 5063 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5059 5064 macros having broken.
5060 5065
5061 5066 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5062 5067
5063 5068 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5064 5069 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5065 5070 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5066 5071 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5067 5072 not to lists.
5068 5073
5069 5074 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5070 5075
5071 5076 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5072 5077 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5073 5078 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5074 5079
5075 5080 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5076 5081 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5077 5082
5078 5083 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5079 5084 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5080 5085 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5081 5086
5082 5087 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5083 5088 triple-quoted strings.
5084 5089
5085 5090 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5086 5091 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5087 5092 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5088 5093 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5089 5094 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5090 5095 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5091 5096
5092 5097 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5093 5098
5094 5099 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5095 5100 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5096 5101 ultraTB).
5097 5102
5098 5103 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5099 5104
5100 5105 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5101 5106 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5102 5107 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5103 5108 user's 'g' variables).
5104 5109
5105 5110 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5106 5111 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5107 5112 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5108 5113 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5109 5114 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5110 5115 macros.
5111 5116
5112 5117 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5113 5118
5114 5119 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5115 5120 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5116 5121
5117 5122 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5118 5123 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5119 5124 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5120 5125
5121 5126 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5127
5123 5128 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5124 5129 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5125 5130 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5126 5131 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5127 5132 aliases.
5128 5133
5129 5134 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5130 5135
5131 5136 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5132 5137 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5133 5138 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5134 5139 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5135 5140
5136 5141 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5137 5142
5138 5143 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5139 5144 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5140 5145 user-defined functions overrode them.
5141 5146
5142 5147 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5143 5148
5144 5149 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5145 5150 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5146 5151
5147 5152 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5148 5153
5149 5154 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5150 5155 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5151 5156 IPython.
5152 5157
5153 5158 * Released 0.2.13
5154 5159
5155 5160 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5156 5161 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5157 5162 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5158 5163 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5159 5164
5160 5165 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5161 5166
5162 5167 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5163 5168 magic properly formatted for screen.
5164 5169
5165 5170 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5166 5171 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5167 5172
5168 5173 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5169 5174 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5170 5175 etc.)
5171 5176
5172 5177 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5173 5178
5174 5179 * Released 0.2.12
5175 5180
5176 5181 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5182
5178 5183 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5179 5184 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5180 5185 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5181 5186 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5182 5187 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5183 5188 an alias to @run -i.
5184 5189
5185 5190 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5186 5191 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5187 5192
5188 5193 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5189 5194
5190 5195 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5191 5196 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5192 5197 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5193 5198
5194 5199 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5195 5200 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5196 5201 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5197 5202 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5198 5203 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5199 5204 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5200 5205 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5201 5206
5202 5207 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5203 5208
5204 5209 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5205 5210 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5206 5211 printed).
5207 5212
5208 5213 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5209 5214 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5210 5215 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5211 5216
5212 5217 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5213 5218 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5214 5219
5215 5220 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5216 5221 handle magic commands in them.
5217 5222 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5218 5223 ~/mylog' now works.
5219 5224
5220 5225 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5221 5226 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5222 5227
5223 5228 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5224 5229
5225 5230 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5226 5231 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5227 5232
5228 5233 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5229 5234 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5230 5235 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5231 5236 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5232 5237 variables are in the context of an exception.
5233 5238 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5234 5239 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5235 5240
5236 5241 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5237 5242 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5238 5243
5239 5244 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5245
5241 5246 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5242 5247 magics can parse options easier.
5243 5248 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5244 5249 suggested by Chris Hart.
5245 5250 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5246 5251 directory actually is in history.
5247 5252
5248 5253 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5249 5254 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5250 5255 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5251 5256
5252 5257 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5253 5258 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5254 5259 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5255 5260 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5256 5261
5257 5262 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5258 5263
5259 5264 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5260 5265 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5261 5266
5262 5267 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5263 5268 text (was a bug).
5264 5269
5265 5270 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5266 5271
5267 5272 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5268 5273 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5269 5274 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5270 5275
5271 5276 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5272 5277
5273 5278 * Released 0.2.10
5274 5279
5275 5280 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5276 5281
5277 5282 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5278 5283 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5279 5284
5280 5285 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5281 5286
5282 5287 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5283 5288 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5284 5289
5285 5290 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5286 5291
5287 5292 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5288 5293 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5289 5294 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5290 5295 __init__.py)
5291 5296
5292 5297 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5293 5298
5294 5299 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5295 5300 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5296 5301 test for being inside IPython.
5297 5302
5298 5303 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5299 5304 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5300 5305 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5301 5306 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5302 5307
5303 5308 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5304 5309
5305 5310 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5306 5311 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5307 5312 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5308 5313
5309 5314 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5310 5315 embedding example to standard user directory for
5311 5316 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5312 5317
5313 5318 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5314 5319 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5315 5320 hidden global).
5316 5321
5317 5322 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5318 5323 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5319 5324 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5320 5325 case.
5321 5326
5322 5327 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5328
5324 5329 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5325 5330 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5326 5331 start.
5327 5332
5328 5333 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5329 5334 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5330 5335 Numeric or math.
5331 5336
5332 5337 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5333 5338 provided profiles. Now we have:
5334 5339 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5335 5340 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5336 5341 -physics -> same as before
5337 5342
5338 5343 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5339 5344 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5340 5345 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5341 5346 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5342 5347 string adds).
5343 5348
5344 5349 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5345 5350 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5346 5351 line with the gnuplot code).
5347 5352
5348 5353 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5349 5354
5350 5355 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5351 5356 all included files change.
5352 5357
5353 5358 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5354 5359 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5355 5360
5356 5361 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5357 5362 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5358 5363 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5359 5364
5360 5365 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5361 5366 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5362 5367
5363 5368 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5364 5369 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5365 5370
5366 5371 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5367 5372 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5368 5373 now accessible.
5369 5374
5370 5375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5371 5376 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5372 5377 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5373 5378 removed.
5374 5379 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5375 5380 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5376 5381 don't crash.
5377 5382 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5378 5383 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5379 5384 remains available.
5380 5385
5381 5386 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5382 5387
5383 5388 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5384 5389
5385 5390 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5386 5391
5387 5392 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5388 5393 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5389 5394 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5390 5395 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5391 5396
5392 5397 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5393 5398
5394 5399 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5395 5400 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5396 5401 sync with the output counter.
5397 5402
5398 5403 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5399 5404 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5400 5405
5401 5406 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5402 5407
5403 5408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5404 5409 readline, fix it back after each call.
5405 5410
5406 5411 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5407 5412 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5408 5413 traceback references are properly deleted.
5409 5414
5410 5415 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5411 5416 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5412 5417
5413 5418 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5414 5419
5415 5420 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5416 5421 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5417 5422 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5418 5423 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5419 5424 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5420 5425 to catch SystemExit).
5421 5426
5422 5427 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5423 5428 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5424 5429 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5425 5430 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5426 5431 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5427 5432 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5428 5433
5429 5434 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5430 5435
5431 5436 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5432 5437 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5433 5438 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5434 5439
5435 5440 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5436 5441 configurable (it should have always been so).
5437 5442
5438 5443 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5439 5444
5440 5445 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5441 5446 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5442 5447 done in a more elegant way.
5443 5448
5444 5449 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5445 5450
5446 5451 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5447 5452 win9x also.
5448 5453
5449 5454 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5450 5455
5451 5456 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5452 5457 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5453 5458
5454 5459 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5455 5460
5456 5461 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5457 5462
5458 5463 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5459 5464 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5460 5465
5461 5466 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5462 5467 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5463 5468
5464 5469 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5465 5470 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5466 5471
5467 5472 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5468 5473 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5469 5474
5470 5475 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5471 5476
5472 5477 * Released 0.2.8
5473 5478
5474 5479 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5475 5480 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5476 5481 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5477 5482 on' so that the first tab completes.
5478 5483 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5479 5484 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5480 5485
5481 5486 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5482 5487 installation.
5483 5488
5484 5489 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5485 5490 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5486 5491
5487 5492 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5488 5493
5489 5494 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5490 5495 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5491 5496 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5492 5497
5493 5498 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5494 5499 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5495 5500
5496 5501 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5497 5502 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5498 5503 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5499 5504 suggestion.
5500 5505
5501 5506 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5502 5507 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5503 5508 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5504 5509
5505 5510 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5506 5511 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5507 5512
5508 5513 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5509 5514
5510 5515 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5511 5516 which properly handles things for windows users.
5512 5517
5513 5518 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5514 5519
5515 5520 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5516 5521 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5517 5522 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5518 5523 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5519 5524 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5520 5525
5521 5526 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5522 5527
5523 5528 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5524 5529
5525 5530 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5526 5531 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5527 5532
5528 5533 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5529 5534
5530 5535 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5531 5536 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5532 5537 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5533 5538 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5534 5539 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5535 5540 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5536 5541
5537 5542 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5538 5543
5539 5544 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5540 5545 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5541 5546
5542 5547 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5543 5548 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5544 5549 cache at 20 values.
5545 5550
5546 5551 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5547 5552 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5548 5553 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5549 5554 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5550 5555
5551 5556 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5552 5557 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5553 5558 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5554 5559 'file show').
5555 5560
5556 5561 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5557 5562 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5558 5563
5559 5564 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5560 5565 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5561 5566 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5562 5567
5563 5568 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5564 5569 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5565 5570 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5566 5571 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5567 5572
5568 5573 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5569 5574 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5570 5575 the prompt strings.
5571 5576
5572 5577 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5578
5574 5579 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5575 5580 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5576 5581
5577 5582 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5578 5583 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5579 5584 either globally or at each call.
5580 5585
5581 5586 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5582 5587 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5583 5588 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5584 5589 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5585 5590
5586 5591 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5587 5592
5588 5593 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5589 5594 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5590 5595
5591 5596 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5592 5597
5593 5598 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5594 5599 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5595 5600 learning some lisp...
5596 5601
5597 5602 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5598 5603
5599 5604 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5600 5605 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5601 5606 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5602 5607 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5603 5608
5604 5609 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5605 5610 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5606 5611 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5607 5612
5608 5613 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5609 5614
5610 5615 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5611 5616 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5612 5617 control to emacs users.
5613 5618
5614 5619 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5615 5620 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5616 5621 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5617 5622 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5618 5623 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5619 5624 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5620 5625
5621 5626 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5622 5627
5623 5628 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5624 5629
5625 5630 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5626 5631 @logstate magic was created.
5627 5632
5628 5633 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5629 5634 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5630 5635
5631 5636 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5632 5637
5633 5638 * Released 0.2.6.
5634 5639
5635 5640 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5636 5641 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5637 5642
5638 5643 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5639 5644 SciPy.
5640 5645
5641 5646 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5642 5647 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5643 5648 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5644 5649 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5645 5650 the section on embedding and the example file.
5646 5651
5647 5652 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5648 5653 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5649 5654 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5650 5655
5651 5656 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5652 5657 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5653 5658 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5654 5659
5655 5660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5656 5661 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5657 5662 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5658 5663 for this to work.
5659 5664
5660 5665 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5661 5666
5662 5667 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5663 5668 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5664 5669 well inside Emacs buffers.
5665 5670 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5666 5671 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5667 5672 same bug in iplib.
5668 5673
5669 5674 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5670 5675
5671 5676 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5672 5677 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5673 5678
5674 5679 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5675 5680 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5676 5681 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5677 5682
5678 5683 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5679 5684 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5680 5685 display is done.
5681 5686
5682 5687 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5683 5688 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5684 5689
5685 5690 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5686 5691 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5687 5692 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5688 5693 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5689 5694 like in Octave.
5690 5695
5691 5696 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5692 5697 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5693 5698
5694 5699 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5695 5700
5696 5701 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5697 5702 whole file a little.
5698 5703
5699 5704 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5700 5705 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5701 5706 end-user distro.
5702 5707
5703 5708 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5704 5709 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5705 5710 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5706 5711
5707 5712 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5708 5713 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5709 5714
5710 5715 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5711 5716 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5712 5717 for @file.
5713 5718
5714 5719 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5715 5720 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5716 5721 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5717 5722 the code a bit easier.
5718 5723
5719 5724 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5720 5725 information to crash reports.
5721 5726
5722 5727 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5723 5728
5724 5729 * Released 0.2.5.
5725 5730
5726 5731 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5727 5732
5728 5733 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5729 5734 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5730 5735 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5731 5736
5732 5737 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5733 5738
5734 5739 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5735 5740 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5736 5741 have thigs work as expected.
5737 5742
5738 5743 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5739 5744 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5740 5745 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5741 5746 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5742 5747 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5743 5748
5744 5749 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5745 5750 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5746 5751
5747 5752 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5748 5753
5749 5754 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5750 5755 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5751 5756
5752 5757 * README and manual updates.
5753 5758
5754 5759 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5755 5760 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5756 5761
5757 5762 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5758 5763 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5759 5764
5760 5765 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5761 5766 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5762 5767 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5763 5768 extension-less files.
5764 5769
5765 5770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5766 5771 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5767 5772 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5768 5773
5769 5774 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5770 5775 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5771 5776
5772 5777 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5773 5778 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5774 5779 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5775 5780 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5776 5781 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5777 5782 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5778 5783 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5779 5784 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5780 5785 least make manually a shortcut.
5781 5786
5782 5787 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5783 5788 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5784 5789 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5785 5790 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5786 5791 runtime, with @colors.
5787 5792 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5788 5793 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5789 5794
5790 5795 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5791 5796
5792 5797 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5793 5798 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5794 5799 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5795 5800 read the startup info.
5796 5801
5797 5802 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5798 5803
5799 5804 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5800 5805 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5801 5806 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5802 5807 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5803 5808 type the better off we are.
5804 5809 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5805 5810 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5806 5811 before.

5808 5813 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5809 5814
5810 5815 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5811 5816 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5812 5817 this later.
5813 5818
5814 5819 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5815 5820
5816 5821 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5817 5822 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5818 5823 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5819 5824
5820 5825 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5821 5826
5822 5827 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5823 5828 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5824 5829 spitting out only offset information as before.
5825 5830 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5826 5831 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5827 5832
5828 5833 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5829 5834
5830 5835 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5831 5836 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5832 5837 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5833 5838 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5834 5839 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5835 5840 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5836 5841 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5837 5842 macros.
5838 5843
5839 5844 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5840 5845
5841 5846 * Released 0.2.4.
5842 5847
5843 5848 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5844 5849 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5845 5850 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5846 5851 re-execution.
5847 5852
5848 5853 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5849 5854
5850 5855 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5851 5856 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5852 5857 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5853 5858 documented, of course :)
5854 5859 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5855 5860 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5856 5861 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5857 5862
5858 5863 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5859 5864
5860 5865 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5861 5866 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5862 5867 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5863 5868
5864 5869 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5865 5870
5866 5871 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5867 5872 so I wanted an updated release).
5868 5873
5869 5874 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5870 5875
5871 5876 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5872 5877 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5873 5878 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5874 5879 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5875 5880 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5876 5881
5877 5882 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5878 5883
5879 5884 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5880 5885 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5881 5886
5882 5887 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5883 5888
5884 5889 * Released 0.2.2.
5885 5890
5886 5891 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5887 5892 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5888 5893 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5889 5894 versions.
5890 5895
5891 5896 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5892 5897 (MayaVi author).
5893 5898
5894 5899 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5895 5900
5896 5901 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5897 5902 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5898 5903 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5899 5904 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5900 5905 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5901 5906
5902 5907 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5903 5908 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5904 5909
5905 5910 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5906 5911
5907 5912 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5908 5913 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5909 5914 nice, full-blown manual.
5910 5915
5911 5916 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5912 5917 trivially simple for end-users.
5913 5918
5914 5919 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5915 5920
5916 5921 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5917 5922 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5918 5923
5919 5924 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5920 5925 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5921 5926
5922 5927 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5923 5928
5924 5929 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5925 5930 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5926 5931 people to later upgrade versions.
5927 5932
5928 5933 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5929 5934 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5930 5935 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5931 5936 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5932 5937 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5933 5938 SystemExit).
5934 5939
5935 5940 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5936 5941 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5937 5942 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5938 5943 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5939 5944 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5940 5945
5941 5946 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5942 5947 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5943 5948 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5944 5949
5945 5950 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5946 5951
5947 5952 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5948 5953 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5949 5954
5950 5955 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5951 5956 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5952 5957 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5953 5958 html docs out of it will be found).
5954 5959
5955 5960 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5956 5961
5957 5962 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5958 5963 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5959 5964
5960 5965 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5961 5966
5962 5967 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5963 5968 visiting any directory in _dh.
5964 5969
5965 5970 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5966 5971 it out with numbers.
5967 5972
5968 5973 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5969 5974
5970 5975 * Released 0.1.22
5971 5976
5972 5977 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5973 5978 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5974 5979
5975 5980 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5976 5981 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5977 5982 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5978 5983 screen the necessary mail command.
5979 5984
5980 5985 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5981 5986 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5982 5987 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5983 5988
5984 5989 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5985 5990
5986 5991 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5987 5992 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5988 5993 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5989 5994 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5990 5995 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5991 5996 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5992 5997 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5993 5998 its name).
5994 5999
5995 6000 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5996 6001 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5997 6002 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5998 6003 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5999 6004
6000 6005 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6001 6006
6002 6007 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6003 6008 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6004 6009
6005 6010 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6006 6011 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6007 6012
6008 6013 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6009 6014 completion of @-starting lines.
6010 6015
6011 6016 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6012 6017 info that other files can read from.
6013 6018
6014 6019 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6015 6020 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6016 6021 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6017 6022 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6018 6023 restores produce less errors.
6019 6024
6020 6025 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6021 6026 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6022 6027 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6023 6028 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6024 6029 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6025 6030
6026 6031 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6027 6032 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6028 6033 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6029 6034 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6030 6035 with this, finally...
6031 6036
6032 6037 * Small documentation updates.
6033 6038
6034 6039 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6035 6040 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6036 6041 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6037 6042
6038 6043 * File renaming:
6039 6044 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6040 6045 ipplib --> iplib
6041 6046 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6042 6047
6043 6048 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6044 6049 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6045 6050 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6046 6051
6047 6052 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6048 6053 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6049 6054 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6050 6055
6051 6056 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6052 6057
6053 6058 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6054 6059 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6055 6060 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6056 6061 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6057 6062
6058 6063 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6059 6064 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6060 6065 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6061 6066
6062 6067 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6063 6068 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6064 6069 road.
6065 6070
6066 6071 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6067 6072 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6068 6073 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6069 6074 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6070 6075
6071 6076 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6072 6077
6073 6078 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6074 6079 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6075 6080 file accordingly.
6076 6081
6077 6082 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6078 6083 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6079 6084 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6080 6085 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6081 6086 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6082 6087 separators and proper padding and justification.
6083 6088
6084 6089 * Released 0.1.20
6085 6090
6086 6091 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6087 6092 copy operation was missing).
6088 6093
6089 6094 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6090 6095 its output is always quite long.
6091 6096
6092 6097 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6093 6098 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6094 6099 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6095 6100 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6096 6101
6097 6102 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6098 6103 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6099 6104 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6100 6105 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6101 6106
6102 6107 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6103 6108
6104 6109 * Released 0.1.19
6105 6110
6106 6111 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6107 6112 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6108 6113
6109 6114 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6110 6115 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6111 6116 comment on 'macros').
6112 6117
6113 6118 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6114 6119
6115 6120 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6116 6121 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6117 6122 statements and takes parameters.
6118 6123
6119 6124 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6120 6125
6121 6126 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6122 6127
6123 6128 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6124 6129
6125 6130 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6126 6131 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6127 6132
6128 6133 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6129 6134 ipythonrc-* samples.
6130 6135
6131 6136 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6132 6137 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6133 6138
6134 6139 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6135 6140 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6136 6141
6137 6142 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6138 6143
6139 6144 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6140 6145 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6141 6146 convention.
6142 6147
6143 6148 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6144 6149 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6145 6150
6146 6151 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6147 6152
6148 6153 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6149 6154 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6150 6155
6151 6156 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6152 6157 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6153 6158 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6154 6159 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6155 6160 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6156 6161 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6157 6162 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6158 6163 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6159 6164 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6160 6165 works.
6161 6166
6162 6167 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6163 6168
6164 6169 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6165 6170 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6166 6171 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6167 6172 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6168 6173 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6169 6174 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6170 6175 all the editors, less does that.
6171 6176
6172 6177 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6173 6178
6174 6179 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6175 6180 crash IPython.
6176 6181
6177 6182 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6178 6183
6179 6184 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6180 6185
6181 6186 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6182 6187 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6183 6188 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6184 6189 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6185 6190 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6186 6191 work in _ofind.
6187 6192
6188 6193 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6189 6194 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6190 6195 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6191 6196 (famous last words).
6192 6197
6193 6198 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6194 6199 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6195 6200 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6196 6201 windows).
6197 6202
6198 6203 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6199 6204 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6200 6205
6201 6206 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6202 6207 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6203 6208 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6204 6209 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6205 6210
6206 6211 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6207 6212 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6208 6213 licences and announce it.
6209 6214
6210 6215 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6211 6216 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6212 6217 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6213 6218 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6214 6219
6215 6220 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6216 6221
6217 6222 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6218 6223 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6219 6224 lists.
6220 6225
6221 6226 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6222 6227 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6223 6228 are ok.
6224 6229
6225 6230 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6226 6231 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6227 6232
6228 6233 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6229 6234 this to Nathan.
6230 6235
6231 6236 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6232 6237
6233 6238 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6234 6239 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6235 6240 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6236 6241
6237 6242 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6238 6243 accepted). Cleaner.
6239 6244
6240 6245 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6241 6246 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6242 6247 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6243 6248 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6244 6249 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6245 6250
6246 6251 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6247 6252
6248 6253 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6249 6254 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6250 6255 history after a log replay.
6251 6256
6252 6257 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6253 6258 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6254 6259 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6255 6260 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6256 6261 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6257 6262 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6258 6263
6259 6264 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6260 6265 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6261 6266 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6262 6267 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6263 6268 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6264 6269
6265 6270 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6266 6271
6267 6272 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6268 6273 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6269 6274 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6270 6275 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6271 6276 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6272 6277 one: cache_size.
6273 6278
6274 6279 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6275 6280 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6276 6281 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6277 6282 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6278 6283
6279 6284 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6280 6285 @ or not).
6281 6286
6282 6287 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6283 6288 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6284 6289 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6285 6290 about licensing).
6286 6291
6287 6292 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6288 6293
6289 6294 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6290 6295 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6291 6296
6292 6297 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6293 6298 screen size for page() operations.
6294 6299
6295 6300 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6296 6301 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6297 6302 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6298 6303 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6299 6304
6300 6305 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6301 6306 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6302 6307 option name tables are clearer.
6303 6308
6304 6309 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6305 6310 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6306 6311 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6307 6312 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6308 6313 was also changed a little to align better.
6309 6314
6310 6315 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6311 6316 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6312 6317
6313 6318 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6314 6319 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6315 6320 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6316 6321
6317 6322 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6318 6323 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6319 6324 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6320 6325 he needs it.
6321 6326
6322 6327 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6323 6328
6324 6329 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6325 6330 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6326 6331 warning on it.
6327 6332
6328 6333 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6329 6334 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6330 6335 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6331 6336 was too long).
6332 6337
6333 6338 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6334 6339 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6335 6340 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6336 6341
6337 6342 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6338 6343 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6339 6344 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6340 6345 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6341 6346 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6342 6347 function for the same task.
6343 6348
6344 6349 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6345 6350
6346 6351 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6347 6352
6348 6353 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6349 6354 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6350 6355 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6351 6356
6352 6357 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6353 6358 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6354 6359 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6355 6360
6356 6361 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6357 6362 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6358 6363 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6359 6364
6360 6365 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6361 6366
6362 6367 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6363 6368
6364 6369 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6365 6370 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6366 6371 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6367 6372
6368 6373 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6369 6374
6370 6375 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6371 6376
6372 6377 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6373 6378
6374 6379 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6375 6380 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6376 6381 maintain.
6377 6382
6378 6383 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6379 6384 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6380 6385 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6381 6386 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6382 6387 compiled and startup is much faster.
6383 6388
6384 6389 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6385 6390 while without messing too much more with the code.
6386 6391
6387 6392 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6388 6393
6389 6394 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6390 6395
6391 6396 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6392 6397 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6393 6398 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6394 6399
6395 6400 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6396 6401 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6397 6402
6398 6403 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6399 6404 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6400 6405 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6401 6406 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6402 6407 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6403 6408 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6404 6409
6405 6410 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6406 6411 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6407 6412
6408 6413 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6409 6414 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6410 6415
6411 6416 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6412 6417 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6413 6418 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6414 6419 excessive.
6415 6420
6416 6421 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6417 6422 types (only first word was displayed).
6418 6423
6419 6424 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6420 6425
6421 6426 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6422 6427
6423 6428 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6424 6429 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6425 6430 travel along many directories.
6426 6431
6427 6432 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6428 6433 arguments with default values.
6429 6434
6430 6435 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6431 6436
6432 6437 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6433 6438 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6434 6439
6435 6440 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6436 6441
6437 6442 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6438 6443 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6439 6444 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6440 6445
6441 6446 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6442 6447
6443 6448 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6444 6449 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6445 6450 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6446 6451 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6447 6452 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6448 6453 purposes.
6449 6454
6450 6455 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6451 6456 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6452 6457 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6453 6458 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6454 6459 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6455 6460 one can simply say
6456 6461 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6457 6462 or even
6458 6463 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6459 6464
6460 6465 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6461 6466 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6462 6467 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6463 6468
6464 6469 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6465 6470 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6466 6471 they were defined in
6467 6472
6468 6473 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6469 6474
6470 6475 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6471 6476 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6472 6477 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6473 6478 these to show the same information.
6474 6479
6475 6480 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6476 6481
6477 6482 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6478 6483 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6479 6484 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6480 6485 backtracked on the whole class!)
6481 6486
6482 6487 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6483 6488 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6484 6489 everything works as before).
6485 6490
6486 6491 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6487 6492 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6488 6493 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6489 6494 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6490 6495
6491 6496 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6492 6497
6493 6498 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6494 6499
6495 6500 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6496 6501 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6497 6502
6498 6503 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6499 6504 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6500 6505 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6501 6506 this later.
6502 6507
6503 6508 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6504 6509
6505 6510 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6506 6511 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6507 6512 line option.
6508 6513
6509 6514 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6510 6515 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6511 6516 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6512 6517 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6513 6518 didn't return a result).
6514 6519
6515 6520 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6516 6521
6517 6522 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6518 6523
6519 6524 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6520 6525 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6521 6526 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6522 6527 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6523 6528
6524 6529 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6525 6530
6526 6531 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6527 6532
6528 6533 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6529 6534 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6530 6535
6531 6536 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6532 6537 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6533 6538 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6534 6539 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6535 6540 in with the next entry:
6536 6541
6537 6542 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6538 6543 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6539 6544 handling.
6540 6545
6541 6546 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6542 6547 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6543 6548 namespace protection and documentation.
6544 6549
6545 6550 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6546 6551
6547 6552 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6548 6553 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6549 6554
6550 6555 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6551 6556
6552 6557 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6553 6558
6554 6559 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6555 6560
6556 6561 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6557 6562 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6558 6563 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6559 6564 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6560 6565 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6561 6566
6562 6567 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6563 6568 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6564 6569 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6565 6570
6566 6571 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6567 6572
6568 6573 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6569 6574 work with non-gnu versions of tar.

6571 6576 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6572 6577
6573 6578 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6574 6579
6575 6580 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6576 6581 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6577 6582 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6578 6583 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6579 6584 ScientificPython.
6580 6585
6581 6586 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6582 6587
6583 6588 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6584 6589 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6585 6590 when called with no args.
6586 6591
6587 6592 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6588 6593 closely.
6589 6594
6590 6595 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6591 6596 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6592 6597 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6593 6598 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6594 6599 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6595 6600
6596 6601 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6597 6602
6598 6603 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6599 6604 customizations there and access them via import.
6600 6605
6601 6606 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6602 6607
6603 6608 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6604 6609
6605 6610 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6606 6611 Nathan and Janko.
6607 6612
6608 6613 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6609 6614
6610 6615 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6611 6616 too long.
6612 6617
6613 6618 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6614 6619
6615 6620 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6616 6621 ?sin and sin?
6617 6622 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6618 6623 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6619 6624 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6620 6625 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6621 6626
6622 6627 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6623 6628
6624 6629 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6625 6630
6626 6631 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6627 6632 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6628 6633
6629 6634 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6630 6635 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6631 6636 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6632 6637 me).
6633 6638
6634 6639 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6635 6640 protected (reasonably).
6636 6641
6637 6642 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6638 6643 note through it (it was too long).
6639 6644
6640 6645 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6641 6646 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6642 6647 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6643 6648 parameters.
6644 6649
6645 6650
6646 6651 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6647 6652
6648 6653 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6649 6654 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6650 6655 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6651 6656
6652 6657 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6653 6658 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6654 6659 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6655 6660
6656 6661 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6657 6662
6658 6663 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6659 6664
6660 6665 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6661 6666
6662 6667 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6663 6668 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6664 6669 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6665 6670 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6666 6671 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6667 6672 break.
6668 6673
6669 6674 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6670 6675 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6671 6676 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6672 6677 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6673 6678 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6674 6679 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6675 6680
6676 6681 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6677 6682 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6678 6683 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6679 6684 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6680 6685 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6681 6686 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6682 6687 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6683 6688 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6684 6689 trick.
6685 6690
6686 6691 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6687 6692 session restoring.
6688 6693
6689 6694 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6690 6695 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6691 6696 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6692 6697 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6693 6698 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6694 6699
6695 6700 * Started ChangeLog.
