2
3 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
4 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
5 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
6
1 7 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 8
3 9 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
4 10 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
5 11
6 12 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
7 13 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
8 14 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
9 15 call was missing in if statement. Caused shlex_split to
10 16 sometimes return "" as last element.
11 17
12 18 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
13 19
14 20 * IPython/completer.py
15 21 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
16 22 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
17 23 would be completed too early.
18 24
19 25 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
20 26 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
21 27 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
22 28 backwards compatibility.
23 29
24 30 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
25 31 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
26 32 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
27 33 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
28 34 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
29 35 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
30 36 also works when debugging.
31 37
32 38 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
33 39 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
34 40
35 41 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
36 42 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
37 43 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
38 44
39 45 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
40 46 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
41 47 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
42 48
43 49 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
44 50 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
45 51
46 52 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
47 53
48 54 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
49 55 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
50 56 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
51 57
52 58 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
53 59
54 60 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
55 61 to be installed alongside igrid.
56 62 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
57 63 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
58 64 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
59 65
60 66 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
61 67
62 68 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
63 69 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
64 70 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
65 71
66 72 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
67 73
68 74 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
69 75 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
70 76
71 77 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
72 78 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
73 79
74 80 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
75 81
76 82 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
77 83 as the default browser.
78 84 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
79 85 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
80 86 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
81 87 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
82 88
83 89 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
84 90
85 91 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
86 92 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
87 93 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
88 94
89 95 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
90 96
91 97 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
92 98 Close help window if exiting igrid.

94 100 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
95 101
96 102 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
97 103 before calling functions from readline.
98 104
99 105 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
100 106
101 107 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
102 108 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
103 109 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
104 110 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
105 111 falls back to idump.
106 112
107 113 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
108 114
109 115 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
110 116 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
111 117 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
112 118 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
113 119
114 120 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
115 121
116 122 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
117 123 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
118 124 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
119 125 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
120 126 %magic with explicit % prefix.
121 127
122 128 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
123 129
124 130 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
125 131 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
126 132
127 133 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
128 134
129 135 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
130 136 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
131 137 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
132 138 one wants those instead.
133 139
134 140 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
135 141 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
136 142 instead.
137 143
138 144 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
139 145
140 146 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
141 147 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
142 148 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
143 149 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
144 150
145 151 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
146 152
147 153 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
148 154 stop marks.
149 155 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
150 156 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
151 157 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
152 158
153 159 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
154 160
155 161 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
156 162 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
157 163 sumbmitted to upstream.
158 164
159 165 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
160 166
161 167 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
162 168 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
163 169 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
164 170 running into an empty levels list later.
165 171
166 172 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
167 173
168 174 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
169 175 for the noitem object.
170 176
171 177 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
172 178
173 179 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
174 180 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
175 181 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
176 182 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
177 183
178 184 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
179 185
180 186 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
181 187 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
182 188 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
183 189 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
184 190 filenames.
185 191
186 192 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
187 193 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
188 194 out-of-process ipython code.
189 195
190 196 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
191 197 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
192 198 doctesting.
193 199
194 200 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
195 201
196 202 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
197 203
198 204 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
199 205 not being correctly recognized.
200 206
201 207 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
202 208
203 209 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
204 210 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
205 211 only item.
206 212
207 213 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
208 214 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
209 215 infinite recursion for one line strings).
210 216
211 217 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
212 218
213 219 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
214 220 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
215 221 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
216 222
217 223 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
218 224
219 225 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
220 226 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
221 227 "%env VISUAL=jed".
222 228
223 229 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
224 230
225 231 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
226 232 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
227 233 but I'm not exactly sure why).
228 234
229 235 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
230 236 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
231 237
232 238 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
233 239
234 240 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
235 241 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
236 242
237 243 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
238 244 the time during IPython startup is spent.
239 245
240 246 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
241 247
242 248 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
243 249
244 250 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
245 251
246 252 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
247 253
248 254 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 255
250 256 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
251 257 to work properly on posix too
252 258
253 259 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
254 260
255 261 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
256 262
257 263 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
258 264 prefix + "/scripts".
259 265
260 266 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
261 267
262 268 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
263 269
264 270 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
265 271 if they already exist
266 272
267 273 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
268 274
269 275 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
270 276
271 277 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
272 278
273 279 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
274 280
275 281 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
276 282 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
277 283 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
278 284
279 285 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
280 286
281 287 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
282 288 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
283 289 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
284 290
285 291 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
286 292 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
287 293 in ipy_user_conf.py
288 294
289 295
290 296 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
291 297 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
292 298 as IPython script.
293 299
294 300 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
295 301
296 302 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
297 303
298 304 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
299 305 is called before any exception has occurred.
300 306
301 307 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
302 308
303 309 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
304 310 to translate /'s to \'s again.
305 311
306 312 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
307 313 backslash.
308 314
309 315 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
310 316
311 317 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
312 318
313 319 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
314 320 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
315 321 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
316 322
317 323 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
318 324 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
319 325
320 326 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
321 327 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
322 328
323 329 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
324 330
325 331 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
326 332
327 333 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
328 334 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
329 335
330 336 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
331 337 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
332 338 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
333 339 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
334 340 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
335 341 mapped to "%" now.
336 342 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
337 343
338 344 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
339 345
340 346 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
341 347 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
342 348 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
343 349 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
344 350
345 351 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
346 352
347 353 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
348 354 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
349 355 for shell escapes.
350 356
351 357 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
352 358
353 359 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
354 360 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
355 361 vcs_completer.
356 362
357 363 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
358 364
359 365 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
360 366 directly instead!
361 367
362 368 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
363 369
364 370 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
365 371 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
366 372
367 373 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
368 374 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
369 375 explicit.
370 376
371 377 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
372 378 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
373 379
374 380 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
375 381
376 382 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
377 383
378 384 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
379 385 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
380 386 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
381 387 implementation for Text is useless.
382 388
383 389 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
384 390
385 391 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
386 392
387 393 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
388 394
389 395 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
390 396 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
391 397 "profile"
392 398
393 399 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
394 400
395 401 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
396 402 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
397 403
398 404 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
399 405 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
400 406
401 407
402 408 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
403 409 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
404 410 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
405 411
406 412 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
407 413
408 414 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
409 415 with one from UserConfig.
410 416
411 417 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
412 418 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
413 419
414 420 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
415 421 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
416 422 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
417 423
418 424 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
419 425
420 426 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
421 427
422 428 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
423 429
424 430 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
425 431
426 432 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
427 433
428 434 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
429 435
430 436 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
431 437
432 438 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
433 439
434 440 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
435 441 by eval of expr with dots.
436 442
437 443 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
438 444
439 445 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
440 446 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
441 447 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
442 448 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
443 449 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
444 450 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
445 451
446 452 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
447 453
448 454 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
449 455 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
450 456 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
451 457
452 458 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
453 459 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
454 460 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
455 461 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
456 462 funtionality in ipconfig.
457 463
458 464 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
459 465 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
460 466 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
461 467 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
462 468
463 469 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
464 470
465 471 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
466 472 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
467 473 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
468 474 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
469 475 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
470 476 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
471 477 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
472 478 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
473 479 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
474 480 descriptors.
475 481
476 482 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
477 483 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
478 484
479 485 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
480 486 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
481 487
482 488 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
483 489
484 490 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
485 491
486 492 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
487 493
488 494 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
489 495 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
490 496 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
491 497
492 498 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
493 499 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
494 500 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
495 501
496 502 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
497 503 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
498 504 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
499 505 ipy_stock_completers.
500 506
501 507 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
502 508
503 509 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
504 510
505 511 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
506 512 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
507 513 when filtering possible completions.
508 514
509 515 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
510 516
511 517 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
512 518 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
513 519 function
514 520
515 521
516 522 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
517 523
518 524 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
519 525 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
520 526 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
521 527 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
522 528 SVN completer.
523 529
524 530 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
525 531 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
526 532 name is %led.
527 533
528 534 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
529 535
530 536 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
531 537 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
532 538 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
533 539
534 540 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
535 541 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
536 542 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
537 543 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
538 544 hook name is 'complete_command'.
539 545
540 546 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
541 547
542 548 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
543 549 Numeric leftovers.
544 550
545 551 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
546 552 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
547 553
548 554 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
549 555 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
550 556
551 557 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
552 558 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
553 559
554 560 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
555 561 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
556 562 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
557 563
558 564 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
559 565
560 566 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
561 567 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
562 568 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
563 569
564 570 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
565 571 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
566 572
567 573 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
568 574
569 575 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
570 576 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
571 577 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
572 578
573 579 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
574 580
575 581 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
576 582 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
577 583 internal crash handler.
578 584
579 585 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
580 586 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
581 587 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
582 588 at the request of SAGE.
583 589
584 590 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 591
586 592 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
587 593 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
588 594
589 595 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
590 596 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
591 597 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
592 598 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
593 599
594 600 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
595 601 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
596 602 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
597 603
598 604 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
599 605
600 606 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
601 607 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
602 608 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
603 609
604 610 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
605 611 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
606 612
607 613 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
608 614
609 615 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
610 616 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
611 617 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
612 618 Stefan.
613 619
614 620 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
615 621
616 622 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
617 623 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
618 624 sys.stdout.close().
619 625
620 626 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
621 627
622 628 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
623 629 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
624 630 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
625 631 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
626 632
627 633 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
628 634 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
629 635 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
630 636
631 637 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
632 638 2.5.
633 639
634 640 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
635 641 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
636 642 interactively.
637 643
638 644 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
639 645
640 646 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
641 647 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
642 648
643 649 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
644 650
645 651 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
646 652 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
647 653 or only files.
648 654
649 655 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
650 656
651 657 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
652 658 they broke unittest
653 659
654 660 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
655 661
656 662 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
657 663 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
658 664 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
659 665 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
660 666
661 667 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
662 668
663 669 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
664 670 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
665 671 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
666 672 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
667 673 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
668 674
669 675 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
670 676
671 677 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
672 678 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
673 679
674 680 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
675 681
676 682 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
677 683 the mode argument).
678 684
679 685 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
680 686
681 687 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
682 688 not running under IPython.
683 689
684 690 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
685 691 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
686 692 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
687 693 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
688 694 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
689 695 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
690 696 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
691 697 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
692 698 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
693 699 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
694 700 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
695 701 are still supported.
696 702
697 703 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
698 704 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
699 705 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
700 706 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
701 707
702 708 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
703 709 encoding into methods.
704 710
705 711 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
706 712
707 713 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
708 714 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
709 715
710 716 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
711 717
712 718 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
713 719 non existing attributes.
714 720
715 721 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
716 722
717 723 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
718 724 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
719 725
720 726 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
721 727
722 728 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
723 729 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
724 730
725 731 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
726 732
727 733 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
728 734 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
729 735 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
730 736
731 737 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
732 738
733 739 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
734 740 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
735 741 Stefan van der Walt.
736 742
737 743 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
738 744
739 745 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
740 746 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
741 747
742 748 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
743 749
744 750 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
745 751 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
746 752 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
747 753
748 754 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
749 755
750 756 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
751 757 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
752 758 attributes.
753 759
754 760 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
755 761
756 762 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
757 763 commands into the methods implementing them.
758 764

761 767 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
762 768 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
763 769 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
764 770
765 771 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
766 772
767 773 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
768 774 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
769 775
770 776 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
771 777
772 778 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
773 779 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
774 780
775 781 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
776 782
777 783 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
778 784 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
779 785 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
780 786 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
781 787 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
782 788 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
783 789 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
784 790 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
785 791 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
786 792 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
787 793 the x key to "delete".
788 794
789 795 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
790 796
791 797 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
792 798 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
793 799 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
794 800 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
795 801
796 802 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
797 803 prompt
798 804
799 805 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
800 806
801 807 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
802 808
803 809 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
804 810 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
805 811 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
806 812 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
807 813
808 814 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
809 815
810 816 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
811 817 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
812 818 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
813 819 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
814 820 doesn't work properly yet.
815 821
816 822 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
817 823
818 824 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
819 825 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
820 826 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
821 827
822 828 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
823 829
824 830 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
825 831 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
826 832 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
827 833 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
828 834 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
829 835 execute commands.
830 836
831 837 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
832 838
833 839 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
834 840 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
835 841
836 842 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
837 843
838 844 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
839 845 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
840 846
841 847 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
842 848
843 849 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
844 850 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
845 851 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
846 852
847 853 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
848 854
849 855 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
850 856
851 857 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
852 858 Repo tagged and release cut.
853 859
854 860 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
855 861
856 862 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
857 863 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
858 864
859 865 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
860 866 (for %upgrade)
861 867
862 868 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
863 869
864 870 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
865 871 instead of looping 20 times.
866 872
867 873 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
868 874 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
869 875 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
870 876
871 877 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
872 878 testing for release on 06/06.
873 879
874 880 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
875 881
876 882 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
877 883 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
878 884 live in people's PATH.
879 885
880 886 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
881 887 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
882 888 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
883 889 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
884 890 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
885 891
886 892 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
887 893 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
888 894
889 895 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
890 896
891 897 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
892 898 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
893 899
894 900 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
895 901
896 902 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
897 903 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
898 904 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
899 905
900 906 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
901 907
902 908 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
903 909 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
904 910 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
905 911 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
906 912
907 913 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
908 914 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
909 915 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
910 916 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
911 917
912 918 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
913 919 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
914 920 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
915 921 work.
916 922
917 923 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
918 924
919 925 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
920 926 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
921 927
922 928 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
923 929 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
924 930 author William Stein.
925 931
926 932 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
927 933 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
928 934 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
929 935 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
930 936 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
931 937 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
932 938 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
933 939 objects more easily.
934 940
935 941 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
936 942
937 943 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
938 944 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
939 945 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
940 946 by Jeffrey Collins.
941 947
942 948 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
943 949 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
944 950 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
945 951 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
946 952
947 953 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
948 954 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
949 955 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
950 956 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
951 957
952 958 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
953 959 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
954 960 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
955 961 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
956 962 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
957 963 compatibility)
958 964
959 965 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
960 966 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
961 967 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
962 968
963 969 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
964 970 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
965 971 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
966 972 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
967 973 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
968 974
969 975 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
970 976 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
971 977 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
972 978
973 979 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
974 980 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
975 981 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
976 982 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
977 983 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
978 984 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
979 985 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
980 986
981 987 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
982 988 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
983 989 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
984 990
985 991 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
986 992 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
987 993 it is a real module. Closes #59.
988 994
989 995 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
990 996 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
991 997
992 998 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
993 999
994 1000 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
995 1001 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
996 1002 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
997 1003 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
998 1004 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
999 1005 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1000 1006 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1001 1007 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1002 1008 while running under SAGE.
1003 1009
1004 1010 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1005 1011
1006 1012 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1007 1013 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1008 1014 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1009 1015 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1010 1016
1011 1017 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1012 1018
1013 1019 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1014 1020 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1015 1021 updated.
1016 1022
1017 1023 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1018 1024 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1019 1025 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1020 1026 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1021 1027 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1022 1028
1023 1029 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1024 1030 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1025 1031 so more testing is needed...
1026 1032
1027 1033 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1028 1034
1029 1035 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1030 1036 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1031 1037 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1032 1038 when doing complex debugging.
1033 1039 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1034 1040 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1035 1041 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1036 1042 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1037 1043
1038 1044 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1039 1045
1040 1046 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1041 1047 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1042 1048 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1043 1049 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1044 1050
1045 1051 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1046 1052
1047 1053 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1048 1054 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1049 1055
1050 1056 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1051 1057
1052 1058 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1053 1059 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1054 1060 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1055 1061 been the one to acquire it.
1056 1062
1057 1063 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1058 1064
1059 1065 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1060 1066
1061 1067 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1062 1068
1063 1069 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1064 1070 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1065 1071 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1066 1072
1067 1073 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1068 1074 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1069 1075 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1070 1076 properly flush the output cache.
1071 1077
1072 1078 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1073 1079 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1074 1080
1075 1081 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1076 1082
1077 1083 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1078 1084 are quoted
1079 1085
1080 1086 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1081 1087
1082 1088 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1083 1089 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1084 1090
1085 1091 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1086 1092 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1087 1093
1088 1094 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1089 1095
1090 1096 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1091 1097 %upgrade magic
1092 1098
1093 1099 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1094 1100
1095 1101 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1096 1102 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1097 1103 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1098 1104
1099 1105 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1100 1106
1101 1107 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1102 1108 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1103 1109
1104 1110 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1105 1111 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1106 1112 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1107 1113 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1108 1114 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1109 1115
1110 1116 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1111 1117
1112 1118 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1113 1119 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1114 1120
1115 1121 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1116 1122
1117 1123 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1118 1124 Torsten Marek.
1119 1125
1120 1126 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1121 1127
1122 1128 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1123 1129 line ranges works again.
1124 1130
1125 1131 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1126 1132
1127 1133 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1128 1134 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1129 1135 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1130 1136 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1131 1137 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1132 1138
1133 1139 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1134 1140 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1135 1141 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1136 1142 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1137 1143 more.

1139 1145 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1140 1146
1141 1147 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1142 1148 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1143 1149
1144 1150 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1145 1151
1146 1152 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1147 1153 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1148 1154
1149 1155 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1150 1156
1151 1157 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1152 1158
1153 1159 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1154 1160
1155 1161 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1156 1162
1157 1163 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1158 1164 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1159 1165 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1160 1166
1161 1167 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1162 1168
1163 1169 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1164 1170 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1165 1171 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1166 1172 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1167 1173
1168 1174 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1169 1175 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1170 1176
1171 1177 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1172 1178 contributed by marienz to close
1173 1179 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1174 1180
1175 1181 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1176 1182
1177 1183 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1178 1184
1179 1185 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1180 1186 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1181 1187 nonsense.
1182 1188
1183 1189 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1184 1190
1185 1191 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1186 1192 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1187 1193
1188 1194 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1189 1195
1190 1196 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1191 1197
1192 1198 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1193 1199 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1194 1200
1195 1201 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1196 1202
1197 1203 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1198 1204 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1199 1205 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1200 1206 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1201 1207 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1202 1208 SAGE team.
1203 1209 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1204 1210 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1205 1211
1206 1212 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1207 1213 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1208 1214 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1209 1215 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1210 1216 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1211 1217
1212 1218 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1213 1219
1214 1220 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1215 1221 correctly now (on Linux)
1216 1222
1217 1223 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1218 1224 warnings
1219 1225
1220 1226 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1221 1227
1222 1228 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1223 1229
1224 1230
1225 1231 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1226 1232
1227 1233 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1228 1234 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1229 1235 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1230 1236 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1231 1237 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1232 1238 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1233 1239 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1234 1240 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1235 1241
1236 1242 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1237 1243
1238 1244 * aliases can now be %store'd
1239 1245
1240 1246 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1241 1247 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1242 1248 at __init__.
1243 1249
1244 1250 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1245 1251 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1246 1252
1247 1253 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1248 1254
1249 1255 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1250 1256 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1251 1257 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1252 1258
1253 1259 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1254 1260
1255 1261 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1256 1262
1257 1263 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1258 1264
1259 1265 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1260 1266 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1261 1267 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1262 1268 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1263 1269
1264 1270 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1265 1271 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1266 1272
1267 1273 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1268 1274
1269 1275 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1270 1276 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1271 1277 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1272 1278 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1273 1279
1274 1280 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1275 1281 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1276 1282 usage.
1277 1283
1278 1284 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1279 1285 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1280 1286 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1281 1287
1282 1288 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1283 1289
1284 1290 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1285 1291 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1286 1292
1287 1293 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1288 1294 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1289 1295 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1290 1296
1291 1297 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1292 1298
1293 1299 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1294 1300
1295 1301 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1296 1302
1297 1303 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1298 1304 are now more helpful:
1299 1305 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1300 1306
1301 1307 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1302 1308
1303 1309 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1304 1310 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1305 1311
1306 1312 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1307 1313
1308 1314 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1309 1315 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1310 1316
1311 1317 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1312 1318 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1313 1319 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1314 1320
1315 1321 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1316 1322
1317 1323
1318 1324 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1319 1325
1320 1326 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1321 1327 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1322 1328
1323 1329 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1324 1330
1325 1331 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1326 1332 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1327 1333 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1328 1334 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1329 1335 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1330 1336 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1331 1337
1332 1338 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1333 1339
1334 1340 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1335 1341 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1336 1342 \python24\scripts).
1337 1343
1338 1344 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1339 1345 egg.
1340 1346
1341 1347 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1342 1348
1343 1349 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1344 1350
1345 1351 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1346 1352
1347 1353 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1348 1354
1349 1355 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1350 1356
1351 1357 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1352 1358 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1353 1359 \python24\scripts).
1354 1360
1355 1361 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1356 1362 egg.
1357 1363
1358 1364 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1359 1365
1360 1366 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1361 1367 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1362 1368 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1363 1369
1364 1370 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1365 1371 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1366 1372 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1367 1373 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1368 1374
1369 1375 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1370 1376 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1371 1377 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1372 1378 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1373 1379 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1374 1380 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1375 1381 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1376 1382 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1377 1383 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1378 1384 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1379 1385 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1380 1386 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1381 1387
1382 1388 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1383 1389
1384 1390 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1385 1391 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1386 1392 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1387 1393 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1388 1394
1389 1395 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1390 1396
1391 1397 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1392 1398 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1393 1399 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1394 1400 importing extensions easy.
1395 1401
1396 1402 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1397 1403 classes / instances of those classes.
1398 1404
1399 1405 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1400 1406 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1401 1407 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1402 1408 the user.
1403 1409
1404 1410 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1405 1411 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1406 1412 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1407 1413
1408 1414 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1409 1415
1410 1416 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1411 1417 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1412 1418 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1413 1419 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1414 1420 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1415 1421 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1416 1422 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1417 1423 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1418 1424 the method.
1419 1425
1420 1426 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1421 1427
1422 1428 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1423 1429 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1424 1430
1425 1431 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1426 1432
1427 1433 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1428 1434 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1429 1435 Vivian.
1430 1436
1431 1437 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1432 1438 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1433 1439 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1434 1440 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1435 1441 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1436 1442
1437 1443 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1438 1444
1439 1445 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1440 1446 that returns file contents on exit.
1441 1447
1442 1448 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1443 1449 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1444 1450 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1445 1451 sc files=ls
1446 1452 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1447 1453 print p,p.mtime
1448 1454
1449 1455 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1450 1456 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1451 1457 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1452 1458 instead of syntax error.
1453 1459
1454 1460
1455 1461 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1456 1462
1457 1463 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1458 1464 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1459 1465 data.
1460 1466
1461 1467 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1462 1468 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1463 1469 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1464 1470 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1465 1471
1466 1472 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1467 1473 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1468 1474 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1469 1475 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1470 1476 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1471 1477 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1472 1478
1473 1479 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1474 1480
1475 1481 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1476 1482 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1477 1483 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1478 1484 current dir.
1479 1485
1480 1486 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1481 1487 had to create new files.
1482 1488
1483 1489 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1484 1490 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1485 1491 future.
1486 1492
1487 1493 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1488 1494 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1489 1495 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1490 1496

1492 1498 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1493 1499
1494 1500 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1495 1501 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1496 1502 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1497 1503 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1498 1504 later.
1499 1505
1500 1506 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1501 1507 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1502 1508
1503 1509 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1504 1510
1505 1511 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1506 1512 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1507 1513 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1508 1514 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1509 1515 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1510 1516 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1511 1517
1512 1518 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1513 1519
1514 1520 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1515 1521 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1516 1522 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1517 1523 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1518 1524 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1519 1525 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1520 1526 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1521 1527 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1522 1528 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1523 1529 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1524 1530
1525 1531 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1526 1532 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1527 1533 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1528 1534 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1529 1535
1530 1536 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1531 1537 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1532 1538 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1533 1539 "setup.py install" between changes).
1534 1540
1535 1541 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1536 1542 if 1:
1537 1543 !ls
1538 1544 !!ls
1539 1545
1540 1546 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1541 1547
1542 1548 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1543 1549 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1544 1550 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1545 1551 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1546 1552
1547 1553 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1548 1554 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1549 1555 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1550 1556
1551 1557 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1552 1558
1553 1559 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1554 1560 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1555 1561 win32.
1556 1562
1557 1563 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1558 1564
1559 1565 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1560 1566
1561 1567 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1562 1568 ready for release.
1563 1569
1564 1570 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1565 1571 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1566 1572 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1567 1573 where to copy the info from.
1568 1574
1569 1575 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1570 1576
1571 1577 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1572 1578 support in the release tools as well.
1573 1579
1574 1580 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1575 1581
1576 1582 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1577 1583 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1578 1584 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1579 1585 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1580 1586
1581 1587 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1582 1588 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1583 1589 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1584 1590
1585 1591 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1586 1592 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1587 1593
1588 1594 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1589 1595 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1590 1596 printer not to work.
1591 1597
1592 1598 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1593 1599
1594 1600 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1595 1601 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1596 1602
1597 1603 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1598 1604
1599 1605 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1600 1606 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1601 1607 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1602 1608
1603 1609 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1604 1610 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1605 1611 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1606 1612
1607 1613 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1608 1614 Ville's patch.
1609 1615
1610 1616 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1611 1617
1612 1618 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1613 1619 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1614 1620 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1615 1621 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1616 1622 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1617 1623 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1618 1624 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1619 1625
1620 1626 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1621 1627 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1622 1628 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1623 1629
1624 1630 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1625 1631
1626 1632 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1627 1633 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1628 1634
1629 1635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1630 1636 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1631 1637 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1632 1638 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1633 1639 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1634 1640 twister).
1635 1641
1636 1642 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1637 1643 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1638 1644 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1639 1645
1640 1646 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1641 1647 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1642 1648 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1643 1649 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1644 1650 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1645 1651 something inside the dis module.
1646 1652
1647 1653 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1648 1654
1649 1655 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1650 1656 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1651 1657 follows the discussion in
1652 1658 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1653 1659
1654 1660 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1655 1661 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1656 1662 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1657 1663
1658 1664 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1659 1665 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1660 1666 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1661 1667
1662 1668 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1663 1669 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1664 1670 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1665 1671 speed up this routine.
1666 1672
1667 1673 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1668 1674 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1669 1675 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1670 1676 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1671 1677 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1672 1678 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1673 1679 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1674 1680 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1675 1681
1676 1682 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1677 1683 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1678 1684 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1679 1685
1680 1686 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1681 1687 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1682 1688 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1683 1689 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1684 1690 setters don't do anything).
1685 1691
1686 1692 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1687 1693
1688 1694 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1689 1695 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1690 1696 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1691 1697 falling out of sync...)
1692 1698
1693 1699 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1694 1700 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1695 1701 as loops).
1696 1702
1697 1703 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1698 1704 win32 system access.
1699 1705
1700 1706 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1701 1707
1702 1708 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1703 1709 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1704 1710 thread-safe.
1705 1711 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1706 1712 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1707 1713 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1708 1714 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1709 1715 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1710 1716 can still happen.
1711 1717 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1712 1718 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1713 1719 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1714 1720 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1715 1721 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1716 1722 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1717 1723 cleanly.
1718 1724
1719 1725 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1720 1726 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1721 1727 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1722 1728 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1723 1729 users' persisted data.
1724 1730
1725 1731 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1726 1732 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1727 1733 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1728 1734 multiline input (such as macros).
1729 1735
1730 1736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1731 1737 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1732 1738 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1733 1739 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1734 1740 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1735 1741 informative).
1736 1742
1737 1743 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1738 1744 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1739 1745
1740 1746 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1741 1747 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1742 1748 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1743 1749
1744 1750 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1745 1751 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1746 1752 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1747 1753 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1748 1754 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1749 1755 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1750 1756 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1751 1757 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1752 1758 details.
1753 1759
1754 1760 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1755 1761 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1756 1762 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1757 1763 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1758 1764 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1759 1765
1760 1766 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1761 1767 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1762 1768 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1763 1769 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1764 1770 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1765 1771
1766 1772 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1767 1773 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1768 1774 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1769 1775 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1770 1776 options to %logstart. Closes
1771 1777 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1772 1778 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1773 1779
1774 1780 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1775 1781
1776 1782 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1777 1783 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1778 1784 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1779 1785 list:
1780 1786 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1781 1787
1782 1788 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1783 1789
1784 1790 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1785 1791 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1786 1792 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1787 1793 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1788 1794
1789 1795 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1790 1796 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1791 1797 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1792 1798 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1793 1799 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1794 1800
1795 1801 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1796 1802 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1797 1803 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1798 1804 true by default.
1799 1805
1800 1806 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1801 1807 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1802 1808 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1803 1809 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1804 1810
1805 1811 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1806 1812
1807 1813 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1808 1814 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1809 1815 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1810 1816 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1811 1817 version committed).
1812 1818
1813 1819 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1814 1820 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1815 1821 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1816 1822 discussion on the user list.
1817 1823
1818 1824 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1819 1825 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1820 1826 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1821 1827 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1822 1828
1823 1829 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1824 1830
1825 1831 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1826 1832 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1827 1833 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1828 1834
1829 1835 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1830 1836 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1831 1837 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1832 1838
1833 1839 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1834 1840 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1835 1841 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1836 1842 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1837 1843 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1838 1844 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1839 1845 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1840 1846 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1841 1847 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1842 1848 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1843 1849 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1844 1850 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1845 1851 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1846 1852 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1847 1853 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1848 1854 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1849 1855 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1850 1856 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1851 1857 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1852 1858 branch refactoring.

1854 1860 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1855 1861
1856 1862 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1857 1863 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1858 1864
1859 1865 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1860 1866 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1861 1867 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1862 1868 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1863 1869 worked correctly).
1864 1870
1865 1871 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1866 1872 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1867 1873 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1868 1874
1869 1875 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1870 1876
1871 1877 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1872 1878 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1873 1879 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1874 1880 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1875 1881 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1876 1882 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1877 1883 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1878 1884 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1879 1885
1880 1886 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1881 1887
1882 1888 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1883 1889 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1884 1890 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1885 1891 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1886 1892 on this.
1887 1893
1888 1894 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1889 1895
1890 1896 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1891 1897 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1892 1898 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1893 1899 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1894 1900 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1895 1901
1896 1902 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1897 1903
1898 1904 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1899 1905 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1900 1906 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1901 1907 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1902 1908
1903 1909 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1904 1910
1905 1911 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1906 1912 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1907 1913 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1908 1914
1909 1915 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1910 1916
1911 1917 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1912 1918 startup time.
1913 1919
1914 1920 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1915 1921 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1916 1922 it's working in all cases.
1917 1923
1918 1924 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1919 1925 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1920 1926 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1921 1927 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1922 1928 per-search basis.
1923 1929
1924 1930 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1925 1931
1926 1932 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1927 1933 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1928 1934 of a patch by Jorgen.
1929 1935
1930 1936 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1931 1937
1932 1938 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1933 1939 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1934 1940 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1935 1941
1936 1942 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1937 1943
1938 1944 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1939 1945 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1940 1946 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1941 1947 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1942 1948
1943 1949 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1944 1950
1945 1951 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1946 1952 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1947 1953 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1948 1954 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1949 1955 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1950 1956 implementing this functionality.
1951 1957
1952 1958 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1953 1959
1954 1960 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1955 1961 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1956 1962 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1957 1963 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1958 1964 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1959 1965 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1960 1966 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1961 1967
1962 1968 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1963 1969
1964 1970 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1965 1971 reported by Stephen Walton.
1966 1972
1967 1973 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1968 1974
1969 1975 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1970 1976
1971 1977 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1972 1978 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1973 1979
1974 1980 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1975 1981
1976 1982 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1977 1983 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1978 1984
1979 1985 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1980 1986 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1981 1987
1982 1988 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1983 1989
1984 1990 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1985 1991 finishing.
1986 1992
1987 1993 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1988 1994 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1989 1995
1990 1996 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1991 1997 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1992 1998 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1993 1999
1994 2000 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1995 2001 code, handy in general.
1996 2002
1997 2003 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1998 2004 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1999 2005 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2000 2006
2001 2007 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2002 2008
2003 2009 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2004 2010 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2005 2011 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2006 2012 testing, though.
2007 2013 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2008 2014 like this before...
2009 2015
2010 2016 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2011 2017 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2012 2018
2013 2019 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2014 2020 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2015 2021
2016 2022 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2017 2023
2018 2024 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2019 2025 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2020 2026 F. Mantegazza.
2021 2027
2022 2028 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2023 2029
2024 2030 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2025 2031 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2026 2032 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2027 2033
2028 2034 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2029 2035 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2030 2036 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2031 2037 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2032 2038 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2033 2039 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2034 2040
2035 2041 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2036 2042
2037 2043 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2038 2044 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2039 2045 beyond readline-based environments.
2040 2046
2041 2047 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2042 2048
2043 2049 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2044 2050
2045 2051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2046 2052 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2047 2053 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2048 2054 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2049 2055 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2050 2056
2051 2057 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2052 2058
2053 2059 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2054 2060 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2055 2061 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2056 2062
2057 2063 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2058 2064
2059 2065 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2060 2066
2061 2067 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2062 2068
2063 2069 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2064 2070 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2065 2071 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2066 2072 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2067 2073 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2068 2074 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2069 2075
2070 2076 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2071 2077
2072 2078 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2073 2079
2074 2080 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2075 2081
2076 2082 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2077 2083 invalid $HOME under win32.
2078 2084
2079 2085 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2080 2086
2081 2087 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2082 2088 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2083 2089 simpler and a bit faster.
2084 2090
2085 2091 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2086 2092 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2087 2093 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2088 2094 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2089 2095 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2090 2096
2091 2097 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2092 2098 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2093 2099 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2094 2100
2095 2101 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2096 2102 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2097 2103
2098 2104 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2099 2105 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2100 2106 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2101 2107 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2102 2108 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2103 2109 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2104 2110 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2105 2111
2106 2112 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2107 2113
2108 2114 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2109 2115
2110 2116 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2111 2117
2112 2118 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2113 2119 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2114 2120
2115 2121 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2116 2122
2117 2123 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2118 2124 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2119 2125 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2120 2126 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2121 2127 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2122 2128 for the contribution.
2123 2129
2124 2130 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2125 2131 slightly modified version of the patch in
2126 2132 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2127 2133 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2128 2134 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2129 2135
2130 2136 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2131 2137
2132 2138 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2133 2139 I/O a bit more.
2134 2140
2135 2141 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2136 2142 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2137 2143
2138 2144 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2139 2145
2140 2146 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2141 2147
2142 2148 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2143 2149 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2144 2150 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2145 2151 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2146 2152
2147 2153 readline_remove_delims -/~
2148 2154
2149 2155
2150 2156 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

2152 2158 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2153 2159
2154 2160 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2155 2161 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2156 2162 <eli@gondolin.net>
2157 2163
2158 2164 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2159 2165
2160 2166 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2161 2167 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2162 2168
2163 2169 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2164 2170
2165 2171 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2166 2172 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2167 2173 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2168 2174
2169 2175 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2170 2176
2171 2177 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2172 2178 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2173 2179
2174 2180 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2175 2181
2176 2182 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2177 2183 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2178 2184
2179 2185 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2180 2186 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2181 2187 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2182 2188 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2183 2189 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2184 2190 for more details.
2185 2191
2186 2192 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2187 2193 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2188 2194 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2189 2195 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2190 2196
2191 2197 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2192 2198
2193 2199 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2194 2200 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2195 2201 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2196 2202 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2197 2203 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2198 2204
2199 2205 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2200 2206 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2201 2207 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2202 2208
2203 2209 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2204 2210
2205 2211 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2206 2212
2207 2213 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2208 2214
2209 2215 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2210 2216 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2211 2217 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2212 2218 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2213 2219 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2214 2220
2215 2221 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2216 2222
2217 2223 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2218 2224
2219 2225 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2220 2226 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2221 2227 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2222 2228 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2223 2229 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2224 2230
2225 2231 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2226 2232 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2227 2233 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2228 2234 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2229 2235 take the text parameter.
2230 2236
2231 2237 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2232 2238 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2233 2239 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2234 2240 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2235 2241 pysh profile to include the line
2236 2242
2237 2243 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2238 2244
2239 2245 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2240 2246 delete pysh.py and the line
2241 2247
2242 2248 execfile pysh.py
2243 2249
2244 2250 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2245 2251
2246 2252 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2247 2253 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2248 2254 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2249 2255 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2250 2256 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2251 2257
2252 2258 * pysh.py:
2253 2259
2254 2260 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2255 2261
2256 2262 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2257 2263 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2258 2264 want it can still turn it off.
2259 2265
2260 2266 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2261 2267 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2262 2268 off by default.
2263 2269
2264 2270 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2265 2271 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2266 2272 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2267 2273 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2268 2274 calls.
2269 2275
2270 2276 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2271 2277
2272 2278 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2273 2279 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2274 2280 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2275 2281
2276 2282 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2277 2283
2278 2284 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2279 2285 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2280 2286 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2281 2287 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2282 2288
2283 2289 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2284 2290 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2285 2291 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2286 2292 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2287 2293
2288 2294 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2289 2295
2290 2296 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2291 2297 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2292 2298
2293 2299 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2294 2300 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2295 2301 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2296 2302 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2297 2303 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2298 2304 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2299 2305 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2300 2306 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2301 2307
2302 2308 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2303 2309
2304 2310 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2305 2311 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2306 2312 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2307 2313 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2308 2314 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2309 2315 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2310 2316 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2311 2317 add new completers at runtime.
2312 2318
2313 2319 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2314 2320
2315 2321 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2316 2322 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2317 2323 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2318 2324 ? system.
2319 2325
2320 2326 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2321 2327 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2322 2328 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2323 2329 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2324 2330 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2325 2331 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2326 2332 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2327 2333 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2328 2334
2329 2335 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2330 2336
2331 2337 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2332 2338 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2333 2339 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2334 2340 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2335 2341 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2336 2342
2337 2343 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2338 2344 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2339 2345 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2340 2346 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2341 2347 add:
2342 2348
2343 2349 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2344 2350 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2345 2351
2346 2352 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2347 2353
2348 2354 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2349 2355 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2350 2356 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2351 2357 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2352 2358
2353 2359 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2354 2360 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2355 2361 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2356 2362 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2357 2363 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2358 2364 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2359 2365 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2360 2366 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2361 2367 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2362 2368
2363 2369 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2364 2370
2365 2371 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2366 2372 prompt namespace handling.
2367 2373
2368 2374 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2369 2375
2370 2376 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2371 2377 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2372 2378 trips the emacs python mode).
2373 2379 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2374 2380 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2375 2381 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2376 2382 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2377 2383 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2378 2384 calls will be made at runtime.
2379 2385
2380 2386 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2387
2382 2388 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2383 2389 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2384 2390 the call to %history.
2385 2391
2386 2392 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2387 2393
2388 2394 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2389 2395
2390 2396 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2391 2397 ipmagic() function calls.
2392 2398
2393 2399 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2394 2400 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2395 2401
2396 2402 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2397 2403
2398 2404 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2399 2405 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2400 2406 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2401 2407 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2402 2408 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2403 2409 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2404 2410 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2405 2411 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2406 2412
2407 2413 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2408 2414
2409 2415 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2410 2416 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2411 2417 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2412 2418 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2413 2419 Ville Vainio.
2414 2420
2415 2421 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2416 2422
2417 2423 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2418 2424 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2419 2425 define the ones they personally like.
2420 2426
2421 2427 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2422 2428
2423 2429 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2424 2430 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2425 2431
2426 2432 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2427 2433
2428 2434 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2429 2435 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2430 2436
2431 2437 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2432 2438 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2433 2439 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2434 2440 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2435 2441 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2436 2442 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2437 2443 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2438 2444 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2439 2445
2440 2446 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2441 2447 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2442 2448 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2443 2449 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2444 2450 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2445 2451
2446 2452 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2447 2453
2448 2454 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2449 2455 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2450 2456 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2451 2457
2452 2458 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2453 2459 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2454 2460 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2455 2461
2456 2462 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2457 2463
2458 2464 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2459 2465
2460 2466 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2461 2467 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2462 2468 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2463 2469 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2464 2470 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2465 2471 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2466 2472 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2467 2473 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2468 2474 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2469 2475 system is a separate implementation).
2470 2476
2471 2477 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2472 2478 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2473 2479 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2474 2480 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2475 2481 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2476 2482 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2477 2483 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2478 2484 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2479 2485 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2480 2486 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2481 2487 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

2483 2489 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2484 2490
2485 2491 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2486 2492 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2487 2493 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2488 2494 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2489 2495 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2490 2496 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2491 2497 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2492 2498 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2493 2499
2494 2500 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2495 2501
2496 2502 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2497 2503 previous call produced a syntax error.
2498 2504
2499 2505 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2500 2506 classes without constructor.
2501 2507
2502 2508 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2503 2509
2504 2510 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2505 2511 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2506 2512 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2507 2513 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2508 2514 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2509 2515 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2510 2516 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

2512 2518 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2513 2519
2514 2520 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2515 2521 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2516 2522
2517 2523 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2518 2524
2519 2525 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2520 2526 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2521 2527 optimizations.
2522 2528
2523 2529 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2524 2530 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2525 2531
2526 2532 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2527 2533
2528 2534 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2529 2535 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2530 2536 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2531 2537 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2532 2538 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2533 2539 avoid annoying the lists further.
2534 2540

2537 2543 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2538 2544
2539 2545 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2540 2546 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2541 2547 norm definitions.
2542 2548 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2543 2549 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2544 2550 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2545 2551
2546 2552 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2547 2553 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2548 2554 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2549 2555 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2550 2556 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2551 2557
2552 2558 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2553 2559 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2554 2560 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2555 2561 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2556 2562
2557 2563 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2558 2564 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2559 2565 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2560 2566 fixes.
2561 2567
2562 2568 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2563 2569 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2564 2570 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2565 2571 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2566 2572 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2567 2573 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2568 2574 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2569 2575
2570 2576 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2571 2577
2572 2578 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2573 2579
2574 2580 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2575 2581 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2576 2582 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2577 2583 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2578 2584 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2579 2585 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2580 2586 Panel.
2581 2587
2582 2588 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2583 2589 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2584 2590 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2585 2591 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2586 2592 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2587 2593
2588 2594 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2589 2595
2590 2596 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2591 2597 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2592 2598
2593 2599 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2594 2600
2595 2601 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2596 2602
2597 2603 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2598 2604 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2599 2605 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2600 2606 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2601 2607 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2602 2608 python shell.
2603 2609
2604 2610 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2605 2611 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2606 2612 on assignments. This closes
2607 2613 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2608 2614 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2609 2615 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2610 2616
2611 2617 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2612 2618
2613 2619 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2614 2620 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2615 2621
2616 2622 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2617 2623
2618 2624 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2619 2625
2620 2626 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2621 2627 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2622 2628
2623 2629 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2624 2630
2625 2631 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2626 2632 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2627 2633 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2628 2634
2629 2635 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2630 2636
2631 2637 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2632 2638 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2633 2639 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2634 2640
2635 2641 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2636 2642
2637 2643 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2638 2644 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2639 2645 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2640 2646
2641 2647 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2642 2648 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2643 2649 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2644 2650
2645 2651 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2646 2652
2647 2653 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2648 2654 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2649 2655
2650 2656 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2651 2657
2652 2658 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2653 2659 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2654 2660 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2655 2661
2656 2662 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2657 2663
2658 2664 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2659 2665 reported by Prabhu.
2660 2666 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2661 2667 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2662 2668 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2663 2669
2664 2670 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2665 2671 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2666 2672
2667 2673 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2668 2674 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2669 2675 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2670 2676 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2671 2677 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2672 2678 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2673 2679
2674 2680 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2675 2681
2676 2682 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2677 2683
2678 2684 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2679 2685 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2680 2686 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2681 2687 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2682 2688
2683 2689 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2684 2690 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2685 2691
2686 2692 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2687 2693 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2688 2694 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2689 2695 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2690 2696 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2691 2697 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2692 2698 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2693 2699
2694 2700 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2695 2701 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2696 2702 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2697 2703
2698 2704 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2699 2705 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2700 2706 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2701 2707 before.
2702 2708
2703 2709 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2710
2705 2711 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2706 2712 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2707 2713 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2708 2714 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2709 2715
2710 2716 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2711 2717 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2712 2718 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2713 2719 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2714 2720 timing very short-running code.
2715 2721
2716 2722 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2717 2723 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2718 2724 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2719 2725 utility.
2720 2726
2721 2727 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2722 2728 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2723 2729 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2724 2730 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2725 2731 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2726 2732 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2727 2733 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2728 2734 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2729 2735
2730 2736 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2731 2737 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2732 2738 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2733 2739
2734 2740 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2735 2741 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2736 2742 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2737 2743 is for).
2738 2744
2739 2745 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2740 2746 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2741 2747 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2742 2748 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2743 2749 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2744 2750
2745 2751 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2746 2752
2747 2753 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2748 2754 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2749 2755 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2750 2756 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2751 2757 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2752 2758
2753 2759 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2754 2760 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2755 2761 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2756 2762 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2757 2763 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2758 2764 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2759 2765
2760 2766 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2761 2767
2762 2768 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2763 2769 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2764 2770
2765 2771 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2766 2772
2767 2773 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2768 2774 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2769 2775 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2770 2776 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2771 2777
2772 2778 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2773 2779
2774 2780 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2775 2781
2776 2782 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2777 2783 setting with -d option.
2778 2784
2779 2785 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2780 2786 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2781 2787 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2782 2788 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2783 2789
2784 2790 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2785 2791
2786 2792 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2787 2793 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2788 2794
2789 2795 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2790 2796 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2791 2797 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2792 2798 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2793 2799 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2794 2800 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2795 2801 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2796 2802 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2797 2803 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2798 2804 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2799 2805 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2800 2806
2801 2807 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2802 2808
2803 2809 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2804 2810 cache when empty lines were present.
2805 2811
2806 2812 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2807 2813
2808 2814 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2809 2815 options for WX and GTK.
2810 2816
2811 2817 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2812 2818
2813 2819 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2814 2820 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2815 2821 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2816 2822 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2817 2823 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2818 2824 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2819 2825 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2820 2826
2821 2827 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2822 2828 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2823 2829
2824 2830 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2825 2831
2826 2832 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2827 2833 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2828 2834 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2829 2835 many thanks.
2830 2836
2831 2837 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2832 2838 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2833 2839 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2834 2840
2835 2841 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2836 2842
2837 2843 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2838 2844 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2839 2845 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2840 2846
2841 2847 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2842 2848
2843 2849 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2844 2850
2845 2851 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2846 2852 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2847 2853 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2848 2854
2849 2855 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2850 2856
2851 2857 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2852 2858 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2853 2859
2854 2860 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2855 2861
2856 2862 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2857 2863 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2858 2864 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2859 2865 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2860 2866 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2861 2867 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2862 2868 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2863 2869
2864 2870 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2865 2871
2866 2872 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2867 2873 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2868 2874 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2869 2875 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2870 2876
2871 2877 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2872 2878 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2873 2879
2874 2880 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2875 2881
2876 2882 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2877 2883 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2878 2884
2879 2885 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2880 2886 use throughout ipython.
2881 2887
2882 2888 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2883 2889 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2884 2890
2885 2891 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2886 2892 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2887 2893 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2888 2894 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2889 2895
2890 2896 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2891 2897
2892 2898 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2893 2899 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2894 2900 report by Francesc Alted.
2895 2901
2896 2902 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2897 2903
2898 2904 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2899 2905 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2900 2906
2901 2907 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2902 2908
2903 2909 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2904 2910 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2905 2911 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2906 2912 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2907 2913 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2908 2914 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2909 2915 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2910 2916 correctly set.
2911 2917
2912 2918 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2913 2919
2914 2920 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2915 2921 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2916 2922 import requirement of PEP-328.
2917 2923
2918 2924 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2919 2925 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2920 2926 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2921 2927 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2922 2928
2923 2929 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2924 2930
2925 2931 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2926 2932
2927 2933 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2928 2934 via a normal python function call.
2929 2935
2930 2936 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2931 2937 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2932 2938 2.4.
2933 2939
2934 2940 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2935 2941
2936 2942 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2937 2943 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2938 2944 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2939 2945 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2940 2946 is given to the user).
2941 2947
2942 2948 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2943 2949
2944 2950 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2945 2951 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2946 2952 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2947 2953 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2948 2954
2949 2955 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2950 2956 python 2.2.
2951 2957
2952 2958 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2953 2959 banner arg for embedded customization.
2954 2960
2955 2961 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2956 2962 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2957 2963 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2958 2964 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2959 2965 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2960 2966 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2961 2967
2962 2968 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2963 2969 minor changes to debian dir.
2964 2970
2965 2971 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2966 2972 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2967 2973 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2968 2974 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2969 2975
2970 2976 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2971 2977
2972 2978 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2973 2979 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2974 2980 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2975 2981 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2976 2982 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2977 2983
2978 2984 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2979 2985
2980 2986 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2981 2987 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2982 2988
2983 2989 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2984 2990
2985 2991 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2986 2992 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2987 2993
2988 2994 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2989 2995
2990 2996 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2991 2997
2992 2998 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2993 2999 updated.
2994 3000
2995 3001 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2996 3002
2997 3003 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2998 3004 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2999 3005 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3000 3006 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3001 3007 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3002 3008
3003 3009 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3004 3010 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3005 3011 split regexp. Closes
3006 3012 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3007 3013 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3008 3014 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3009 3015 extensions.
3010 3016
3011 3017 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3012 3018 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3013 3019 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3014 3020 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3015 3021 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3016 3022
3017 3023 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3018 3024 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3019 3025 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3020 3026 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3021 3027
3022 3028 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3023 3029 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3024 3030
3025 3031 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3026 3032 fine-tune banner.
3027 3033
3028 3034 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3029 3035 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3030 3036
3031 3037 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3032 3038
3033 3039 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3034 3040 were missing.
3035 3041
3036 3042 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3037 3043 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3038 3044 valid at the command line.
3039 3045
3040 3046 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3041 3047 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3042 3048
3043 3049 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3044 3050
3045 3051 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3046 3052 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3047 3053 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3048 3054
3049 3055 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3050 3056
3051 3057 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3052 3058 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3053 3059 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3054 3060 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3055 3061 continue to use the standard profiler.
3056 3062
3057 3063 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3058 3064
3059 3065 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3060 3066 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3061 3067 close.
3062 3068
3063 3069 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3064 3070
3065 3071 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3066 3072 in Magic and ultraTB.
3067 3073
3068 3074 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3069 3075
3070 3076 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3071 3077 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3072 3078 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3073 3079 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3074 3080
3075 3081 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3076 3082 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3077 3083 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3078 3084 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3079 3085 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3080 3086 infrastructure in place.
3081 3087
3082 3088 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3083 3089
3084 3090 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3085 3091
3086 3092 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3087 3093 the pylab profile.
3088 3094
3089 3095 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3090 3096
3091 3097 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3092 3098
3093 3099 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3094 3100 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3095 3101 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3096 3102 itself.
3097 3103
3098 3104 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3099 3105 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3100 3106 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3101 3107 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3102 3108 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3103 3109 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3104 3110 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3105 3111 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3106 3112
3107 3113 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3108 3114 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3109 3115
3110 3116 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3111 3117
3112 3118 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3113 3119 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3114 3120 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3115 3121
3116 3122 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3117 3123
3118 3124 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3119 3125 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3120 3126
3121 3127 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3122 3128
3123 3129 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3124 3130
3125 3131 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3126 3132
3127 3133 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3128 3134
3129 3135 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3130 3136 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3131 3137 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3132 3138
3133 3139 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3134 3140
3135 3141 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3136 3142 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3137 3143 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3138 3144 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3139 3145 works.
3140 3146
3141 3147 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3142 3148 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3143 3149 practice.
3144 3150
3145 3151 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3146 3152
3147 3153 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3148 3154 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3149 3155 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3150 3156
3151 3157 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3152 3158
3153 3159 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3154 3160 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3155 3161 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3156 3162 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3157 3163
3158 3164 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3159 3165
3160 3166 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3161 3167 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3162 3168 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3163 3169 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3164 3170
3165 3171 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3166 3172
3167 3173 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3168 3174
3169 3175 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3170 3176 fail for any number.
3171 3177 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3172 3178 empty bookmarks.
3173 3179
3174 3180 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3175 3181
3176 3182 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3177 3183
3178 3184 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3179 3185
3180 3186 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3181 3187 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3182 3188
3183 3189 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3184 3190 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3185 3191
3186 3192 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3187 3193
3188 3194 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3189 3195 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3190 3196 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3191 3197 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3192 3198 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3193 3199
3194 3200 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3195 3201
3196 3202 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3197 3203 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3198 3204
3199 3205 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3200 3206
3201 3207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3202 3208 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3203 3209 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3204 3210 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3205 3211
3206 3212 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3207 3213 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3208 3214 Schmolck.
3209 3215
3210 3216 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3211 3217
3212 3218 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3213 3219
3214 3220 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3215 3221 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3216 3222
3217 3223 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3218 3224 optimizations.
3219 3225
3220 3226 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3221 3227 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3222 3228
3223 3229 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3224 3230 --Started changelog.
3225 3231 --make clear do what it say it does
3226 3232 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3227 3233 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3228 3234 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3229 3235 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3230 3236 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3231 3237 can be done for other cases.
3232 3238 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3233 3239 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3234 3240 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3235 3241
3236 3242 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3237 3243 --added logfile rotation
3238 3244 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3239 3245
3240 3246 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3241 3247 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3242 3248 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3243 3249 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3244 3250 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3245 3251 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3246 3252 --added global logfile option
3247 3253 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3248 3254 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3249 3255
3250 3256 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3251 3257 --added a README
3252 3258 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3253 3259 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3254 3260 bug or feature.
3255 3261 --changed rc file for new behavior
3256 3262
3257 3263 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3264
3259 3265 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3260 3266 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3261 3267 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3262 3268
3263 3269 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3264 3270 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3265 3271
3266 3272 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3267 3273
3268 3274 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3269 3275 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3270 3276 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3271 3277 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3272 3278 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3273 3279 and prepended with a #.
3274 3280
3275 3281 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3276 3282 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3277 3283
3278 3284 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3279 3285
3280 3286 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3281 3287 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3282 3288
3283 3289 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3290
3285 3291 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3286 3292 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3287 3293
3288 3294 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3289 3295
3290 3296 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3291 3297 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3292 3298 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3293 3299
3294 3300 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3301
3296 3302 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3297 3303 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3298 3304
3299 3305 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3300 3306 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3301 3307 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3302 3308 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3303 3309 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3304 3310 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3305 3311 be implemented later).
3306 3312
3307 3313 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3308 3314 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3309 3315 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3310 3316 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3311 3317
3312 3318 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3313 3319 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3314 3320 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3315 3321
3316 3322 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3317 3323 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3318 3324
3319 3325 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3320 3326 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3321 3327 readline make it impossible to go further.
3322 3328
3323 3329 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3324 3330
3325 3331 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3326 3332 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3327 3333
3328 3334 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3329 3335
3330 3336 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3331 3337 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3332 3338 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3333 3339 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3334 3340
3335 3341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3336 3342 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3337 3343 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3338 3344 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3339 3345
3340 3346 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3341 3347 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3342 3348 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3343 3349 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3344 3350 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3345 3351 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3346 3352 problem.
3347 3353
3348 3354 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3349 3355 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3350 3356
3351 3357 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3352 3358 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3353 3359 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3354 3360
3355 3361 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3356 3362
3357 3363 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3358 3364 continue prompts.
3359 3365
3360 3366 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3361 3367 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3362 3368 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3363 3369 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3364 3370 byte-compilation saves time.
3365 3371
3366 3372 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3367 3373
3368 3374 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3369 3375 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3370 3376
3371 3377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3372 3378 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3373 3379
3374 3380 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3375 3381 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3376 3382 common cases where it's a problem.
3377 3383
3378 3384 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3385
3380 3386 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3381 3387 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3382 3388 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3383 3389 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3384 3390 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3385 3391 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3386 3392
3387 3393 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3388 3394
3389 3395 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3390 3396 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3391 3397
3392 3398 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3393 3399 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3394 3400 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3395 3401 structure as win_exec_ext.
3396 3402
3397 3403 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3398 3404 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3399 3405
3400 3406 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3401 3407 delete aliases.
3402 3408
3403 3409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3404 3410 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3405 3411
3406 3412 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3407 3413
3408 3414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3409 3415 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3410 3416
3411 3417 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3412 3418
3413 3419 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3414 3420 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3415 3421
3416 3422 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3417 3423 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3418 3424
3419 3425 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3420 3426 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3421 3427 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3422 3428 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3423 3429 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3424 3430 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3425 3431
3426 3432 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3427 3433 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3428 3434 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3429 3435
3430 3436 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3431 3437 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3432 3438 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3433 3439
3434 3440 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3435 3441 via an extra $. For example:
3436 3442
3437 3443 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3438 3444
3439 3445 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3440 3446 a python variable
3441 3447
3442 3448 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3443 3449 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3444 3450
3445 3451 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3446 3452 things prematurely.
3447 3453
3448 3454 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3449 3455 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3450 3456
3451 3457 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3452 3458 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3453 3459 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3454 3460 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3455 3461 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3456 3462 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3457 3463 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3458 3464 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3459 3465
3460 3466 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3461 3467 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3462 3468 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3463 3469 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3464 3470 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3465 3471 with the old system).
3466 3472
3467 3473 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3468 3474
3469 3475 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3470 3476 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3471 3477
3472 3478 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3473 3479 call to eval.
3474 3480 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3475 3481 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3476 3482 in.
3477 3483
3478 3484 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3479 3485
3480 3486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3481 3487 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3482 3488 confusion).
3483 3489
3484 3490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3485 3491 check for Windows users.
3486 3492
3487 3493 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3488 3494 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3489 3495 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3490 3496 download it.
3491 3497
3492 3498 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3493 3499
3494 3500 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3495 3501 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3496 3502 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3497 3503 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3498 3504 of IDLE's out).
3499 3505
3500 3506 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3501 3507 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3502 3508 eventually.
3503 3509 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3504 3510
3505 3511 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3506 3512
3507 3513 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3508 3514 list of auto-defined aliases.
3509 3515
3510 3516 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3511 3517
3512 3518 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3513 3519 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3514 3520 things under Windows).
3515 3521
3516 3522 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3517 3523
3518 3524 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3519 3525 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3520 3526 reported by Thorsten.
3521 3527
3522 3528 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3523 3529
3524 3530 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3525 3531 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3526 3532 for all examples and the manual as well.
3527 3533
3528 3534 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3529 3535
3530 3536 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3531 3537 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3532 3538 inherit from BasePrompt.
3533 3539
3534 3540 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3535 3541 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3536 3542
3537 3543 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3538 3544 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3539 3545 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3540 3546 defaults.
3541 3547 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3542 3548 this fix manually!
3543 3549
3544 3550 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3545 3551 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3546 3552 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3547 3553 distutils).
3548 3554
3549 3555 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3550 3556 usage of new '\D' escape.
3551 3557
3552 3558 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3553 3559 lacks os.getuid())
3554 3560 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3555 3561 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3556 3562 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3557 3563 handling mechanism.
3558 3564 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3559 3565 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3560 3566 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3561 3567 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3562 3568 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3563 3569 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3564 3570 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3565 3571
3566 3572 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3567 3573
3568 3574 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3569 3575 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3570 3576 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3571 3577
3572 3578 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3573 3579 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3574 3580 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3575 3581 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3576 3582 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3577 3583 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3578 3584 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3579 3585 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3580 3586
3581 3587 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3582 3588 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3583 3589 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3584 3590 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3585 3591 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3586 3592 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3587 3593 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3588 3594 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3589 3595
3590 3596 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3591 3597 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3592 3598 functions uniform.
3593 3599 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3594 3600
3595 3601 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3596 3602 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3597 3603 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3598 3604 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3599 3605 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3600 3606 use to parse their options.
3601 3607
3602 3608 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3603 3609 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3604 3610 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3605 3611
3606 3612 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3607 3613 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3608 3614 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3609 3615 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3610 3616 via the prompt_specials.
3611 3617
3612 3618 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3613 3619
3614 3620 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3615 3621 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3616 3622 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3617 3623 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3618 3624 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3619 3625 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3620 3626 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3621 3627 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3622 3628
3623 3629 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3624 3630
3625 3631 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3626 3632 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3627 3633 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3628 3634
3629 3635 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3630 3636
3631 3637 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3632 3638 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3633 3639
3634 3640 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3635 3641
3636 3642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3637 3643 parens would get passed to the shell.
3638 3644
3639 3645 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3640 3646
3641 3647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3642 3648 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3643 3649
3644 3650 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3645 3651 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3646 3652 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3647 3653 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3648 3654 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3649 3655
3650 3656 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3651 3657 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3652 3658 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3653 3659 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3654 3660
3655 3661 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3656 3662
3657 3663 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3658 3664
3659 3665 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3660 3666 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3661 3667 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3662 3668
3663 3669 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3664 3670 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3665 3671 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3666 3672 official documentation.
3667 3673
3668 3674 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3669 3675
3670 3676 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3671 3677 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3672 3678 explicit filename.
3673 3679
3674 3680 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3675 3681
3676 3682 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3677 3683 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3678 3684 case.
3679 3685
3680 3686 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3681 3687 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3682 3688 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3683 3689
3684 3690 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3685 3691
3686 3692 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3687 3693
3688 3694 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3689 3695 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3690 3696 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3691 3697 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3692 3698 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3693 3699 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3694 3700 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3695 3701 any changes to python proper.
3696 3702
3697 3703 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3698 3704 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3699 3705 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3700 3706 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3701 3707 Schmolck.
3702 3708
3703 3709 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3704 3710
3705 3711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3706 3712 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3707 3713 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3708 3714 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3709 3715
3710 3716 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3711 3717
3712 3718 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3713 3719 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3714 3720 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3715 3721 name).
3716 3722
3717 3723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3718 3724 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3719 3725 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3720 3726 Francois Pinard.
3721 3727
3722 3728 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3723 3729
3724 3730 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3725 3731 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3726 3732 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3727 3733 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3728 3734 not work.
3729 3735
3730 3736 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3731 3737
3732 3738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3733 3739 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3734 3740 distinguishes stdout/err.
3735 3741
3736 3742 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3737 3743 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3738 3744 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3739 3745 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3740 3746 the standard library.
3741 3747
3742 3748 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3743 3749 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3744 3750
3745 3751 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3746 3752 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3747 3753
3748 3754 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3749 3755
3750 3756 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3751 3757 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3752 3758 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3753 3759 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3754 3760 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3755 3761 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3756 3762
3757 3763 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3764
3759 3765 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3760 3766 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3761 3767 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3762 3768 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3763 3769
3764 3770 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3771
3766 3772 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3767 3773 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3768 3774 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3769 3775 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3770 3776
3771 3777 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3772 3778
3773 3779 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3774 3780 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3775 3781 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3776 3782 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3777 3783 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3778 3784 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3779 3785 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3780 3786 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3781 3787
3782 3788 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3783 3789
3784 3790 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3785 3791 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3786 3792
3787 3793 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3788 3794
3789 3795 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3790 3796 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3791 3797 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3792 3798 very short.
3793 3799
3794 3800 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3795 3801
3796 3802 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3797 3803 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3798 3804 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3799 3805 this before making it permanent.
3800 3806
3801 3807 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3802 3808 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3803 3809 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3804 3810 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3805 3811
3806 3812 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3807 3813
3808 3814 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3809 3815 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3810 3816
3811 3817 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3812 3818
3813 3819 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3814 3820 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3815 3821 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3816 3822 cases I've missed.
3817 3823
3818 3824 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3819 3825
3820 3826 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3821 3827 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3822 3828 system would be triggered for @p.
3823 3829
3824 3830 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3825 3831 cleanups, code unmodified.
3826 3832
3827 3833 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3828 3834 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3829 3835 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3830 3836 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3831 3837 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3832 3838 The actual changes affect many files.
3833 3839
3834 3840 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3835 3841
3836 3842 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3837 3843 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3838 3844 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3839 3845
3840 3846 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3841 3847
3842 3848 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3843 3849 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3844 3850
3845 3851 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3846 3852
3847 3853 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3848 3854 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3849 3855 numpy list.
3850 3856
3851 3857 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3858
3853 3859 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3854 3860 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3855 3861 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3856 3862 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3857 3863
3858 3864 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3859 3865
3860 3866 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3861 3867 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3862 3868 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3863 3869 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3864 3870
3865 3871 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3866 3872 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3867 3873
3868 3874 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3869 3875
3870 3876 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3871 3877 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3872 3878 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3873 3879 Collins.
3874 3880
3875 3881 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3876 3882
3877 3883 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3884
3879 3885 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3880 3886 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3881 3887 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3882 3888
3883 3889 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3884 3890
3885 3891 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3886 3892 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3887 3893 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3888 3894 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3889 3895
3890 3896 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3891 3897 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3892 3898 __getitem__ and __call__.
3893 3899
3894 3900 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3895 3901
3896 3902 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3897 3903
3898 3904 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3899 3905 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3900 3906 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3901 3907 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3902 3908
3903 3909 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3904 3910 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3905 3911 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3906 3912 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3907 3913 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3908 3914 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3909 3915 necessary.
3910 3916
3911 3917 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3912 3918 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3913 3919 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3914 3920
3915 3921 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3916 3922 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3917 3923 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3918 3924 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3919 3925
3920 3926 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3921 3927 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3922 3928 generators.
3923 3929
3924 3930 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3925 3931 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3926 3932 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3927 3933 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3928 3934 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3929 3935 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3930 3936 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3931 3937
3932 3938 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3933 3939 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3934 3940 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3935 3941 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3936 3942 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3937 3943
3938 3944 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3939 3945 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3940 3946 edit under some circumstances.
3941 3947 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3942 3948 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3943 3949 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3944 3950 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3945 3951 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3946 3952 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3947 3953 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3948 3954 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3949 3955 need more testing.
3950 3956
3951 3957 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3952 3958
3953 3959 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3954 3960 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3955 3961 and simpler code.
3956 3962
3957 3963 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3958 3964
3959 3965 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3960 3966 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3961 3967 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3962 3968 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3963 3969 even if they were contiguous.
3964 3970 (l1norm): Added this function.
3965 3971 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3966 3972 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3967 3973 and speed.
3968 3974
3969 3975 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3970 3976
3971 3977 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3972 3978 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3973 3979 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3974 3980
3975 3981 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3976 3982
3977 3983 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3978 3984 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3979 3985 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3980 3986
3981 3987 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3982 3988 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3983 3989 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3984 3990
3985 3991 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3992
3987 3993 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3988 3994 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3989 3995 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3990 3996 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3991 3997 activity.
3992 3998
3993 3999 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3994 4000
3995 4001 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3996 4002 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3997 4003 Numeric.identity)
3998 4004
3999 4005 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4000 4006
4001 4007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4002 4008 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4003 4009 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4004 4010
4005 4011 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4006 4012
4007 4013 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4008 4014 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4009 4015 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4010 4016 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4011 4017
4012 4018 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4013 4019 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4014 4020 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4015 4021 is implemented).
4016 4022
4017 4023 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4018 4024
4019 4025 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4020 4026 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4021 4027 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4022 4028
4023 4029 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4024 4030 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4025 4031 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4026 4032 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4027 4033 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4028 4034
4029 4035 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4030 4036
4031 4037 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4038
4033 4039 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4034 4040 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4035 4041 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4036 4042
4037 4043 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4038 4044
4039 4045 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4040 4046 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4041 4047 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4042 4048
4043 4049 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4044 4050 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4045 4051 crash report from Prabhu.
4046 4052
4047 4053 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4048 4054
4049 4055 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4050 4056 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4051 4057 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4052 4058 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4053 4059 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4054 4060 also be useful in other cases.
4055 4061
4056 4062 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4057 4063 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4058 4064 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4059 4065
4060 4066 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4061 4067
4062 4068 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4063 4069
4064 4070 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4065 4071 installing for a new user under Windows.
4066 4072
4067 4073 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4074
4069 4075 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4070 4076 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4071 4077 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4072 4078 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4073 4079 there.
4074 4080
4075 4081 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4076 4082 info to crash reports.
4077 4083
4078 4084 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4079 4085 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4080 4086 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4081 4087 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4082 4088
4083 4089 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4084 4090
4085 4091 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4086 4092 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4087 4093 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4088 4094 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4089 4095
4090 4096 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4091 4097
4092 4098 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4093 4099 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4094 4100
4095 4101 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4096 4102
4097 4103 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4098 4104 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4099 4105
4100 4106 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4101 4107
4102 4108 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4103 4109
4104 4110 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4105 4111 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4106 4112 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4107 4113
4108 4114 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4109 4115 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4110 4116 with the new auto-indent option.
4111 4117
4112 4118 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4113 4119
4114 4120 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4115 4121 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4116 4122 this class from the main Shell class.
4117 4123
4118 4124 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4119 4125 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4120 4126 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4121 4127 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4122 4128 option).
4123 4129
4124 4130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4125 4131 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4126 4132 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4127 4133 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4128 4134 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4129 4135
4130 4136 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4131 4137 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4132 4138 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4133 4139
4134 4140 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4135 4141 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4136 4142 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4137 4143 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4138 4144 tracebacks.
4139 4145
4140 4146 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4141 4147 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4142 4148 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4143 4149
4144 4150 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4145 4151
4146 4152 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4147 4153 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4148 4154 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4149 4155 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4150 4156
4151 4157 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4152 4158
4153 4159 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4154 4160 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4155 4161 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4156 4162 for the bug report.
4157 4163
4158 4164 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4159 4165
4160 4166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4161 4167 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4162 4168 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4163 4169 report.
4164 4170
4165 4171 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4172
4167 4173 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4168 4174 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4169 4175 end).
4170 4176
4171 4177 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4172 4178 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4173 4179 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4174 4180
4175 4181 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4176 4182
4177 4183 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4178 4184 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4179 4185 for the patch.
4180 4186
4181 4187 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4182 4188
4183 4189 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4184 4190 functions.
4185 4191
4186 4192 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4188 4194 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4189 4195
4190 4196 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4191 4197 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4192 4198 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4193 4199 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4194 4200 private fix.
4195 4201
4196 4202 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4197 4203 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4198 4204 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4199 4205 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4200 4206 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4201 4207 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4202 4208 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4203 4209 fixed for this setup.
4204 4210
4205 4211 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4206 4212 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4207 4213
4208 4214 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4209 4215
4210 4216 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4217
4212 4218 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4213 4219 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4214 4220 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4215 4221 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4216 4222 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4217 4223 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4218 4224 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4219 4225 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4220 4226 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4221 4227
4222 4228 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4223 4229 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4224 4230 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4225 4231
4226 4232 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4227 4233
4228 4234 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4235
4230 4236 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4231 4237 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4232 4238 pickle-related issue in @run).
4233 4239
4234 4240 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4235 4241
4236 4242 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4237 4243 the autocall option at runtime.
4238 4244 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4239 4245 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4240 4246 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4241 4247 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4242 4248 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4243 4249 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4244 4250 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4245 4251 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4246 4252 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4247 4253 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4248 4254 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4249 4255 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4250 4256 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4251 4257 pickles to save something sensible.
4252 4258
4253 4259 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4254 4260
4255 4261 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4256 4262 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4257 4263 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4258 4264
4259 4265 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4260 4266
4261 4267 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4262 4268 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4263 4269
4264 4270 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4265 4271
4266 4272 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4267 4273 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4268 4274 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4269 4275 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4270 4276
4271 4277 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4272 4278
4273 4279 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4274 4280 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4275 4281 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4276 4282 array is non-contiguous.
4277 4283
4278 4284 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4279 4285
4280 4286 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4281 4287 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4282 4288 executed).
4283 4289 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4284 4290 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4285 4291 output.
4286 4292 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4287 4293 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4288 4294 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4289 4295 changing.
4290 4296
4291 4297 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4292 4298
4293 4299 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4294 4300
4295 4301 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4296 4302 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4297 4303 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4298 4304 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4299 4305 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4300 4306 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4301 4307 like a normal command-line.
4302 4308
4303 4309 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4304 4310 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4305 4311 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4306 4312 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4307 4313
4308 4314 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4315
4310 4316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4311 4317 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4312 4318 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4313 4319 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4314 4320
4315 4321 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4316 4322
4317 4323 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4318 4324 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4319 4325 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4320 4326 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4321 4327 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4322 4328 think it's worth doing.
4323 4329
4324 4330 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4325 4331
4326 4332 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4327 4333
4328 4334 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4329 4335 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4330 4336
4331 4337 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4332 4338 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4333 4339 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4334 4340 also work ok.
4335 4341
4336 4342 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4337 4343
4338 4344 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4339 4345
4340 4346 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4341 4347
4342 4348 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4343 4349 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4344 4350 of gnuplot data files.
4345 4351
4346 4352 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4353
4348 4354 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4349 4355 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4350 4356
4351 4357 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4352 4358
4353 4359 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4354 4360 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4355 4361 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4356 4362 for pointing this out.
4357 4363
4358 4364 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4359 4365
4360 4366 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4361 4367
4362 4368 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4363 4369 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4364 4370 Interactive.
4365 4371
4366 4372 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4367 4373 being imported from iplib.
4368 4374
4369 4375 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4370 4376 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4371 4377 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4372 4378 common name.
4373 4379
4374 4380 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4375 4381 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4376 4382
4377 4383 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4378 4384 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4379 4385
4380 4386 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4381 4387 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4382 4388 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4383 4389 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4384 4390 docstrings).
4385 4391
4386 4392 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4387 4393
4388 4394 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4389 4395 (inconsistent with options).
4390 4396
4391 4397 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4392 4398 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4393 4399 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4394 4400 eps output.
4395 4401
4396 4402 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4397 4403
4398 4404 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4399 4405 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4400 4406 Pinard.
4401 4407
4402 4408 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4403 4409
4404 4410 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4405 4411 history file for new users.
4406 4412 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4407 4413 user running in the .ipython dir.
4408 4414 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4409 4415 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4410 4416 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4411 4417
4412 4418 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4413 4419 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4414 4420 consistently.
4415 4421
4416 4422 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4417 4423 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4418 4424 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4419 4425 libraries I don't have access to.
4420 4426
4421 4427 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4422 4428 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4423 4429 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4424 4430 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4425 4431 report.
4426 4432
4427 4433 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4428 4434
4429 4435 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4430 4436 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4431 4437 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4432 4438 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4433 4439
4434 4440 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4435 4441
4436 4442 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4437 4443 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4438 4444 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4439 4445 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4440 4446 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4441 4447 instance has been created.
4442 4448
4443 4449 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4444 4450 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4445 4451 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4446 4452 dict by hand.
4447 4453
4448 4454 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4455
4450 4456 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4451 4457 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4452 4458 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4453 4459 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4454 4460 broken.
4455 4461
4456 4462 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4457 4463 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4458 4464 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4459 4465 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4460 4466
4461 4467 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4462 4468 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4463 4469 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4464 4470 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4465 4471 is a valid one.
4466 4472
4467 4473 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4468 4474 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4469 4475 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4470 4476
4471 4477 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4472 4478 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4473 4479 simply leftover junk.
4474 4480
4475 4481 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4476 4482
4477 4483 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4478 4484 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4479 4485 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4480 4486
4481 4487 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4482 4488 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4483 4489 exceptions.
4484 4490
4485 4491 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4486 4492
4487 4493 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4488 4494 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4489 4495 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4490 4496 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4491 4497 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4492 4498
4493 4499 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4494 4500 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4495 4501
4496 4502 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4497 4503 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4498 4504 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4499 4505 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4500 4506 problem mentioned below.
4501 4507
4502 4508 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4503 4509
4504 4510 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4505 4511 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4506 4512
4507 4513 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4508 4514 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4509 4515 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4510 4516 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4511 4517 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4512 4518
4513 4519 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4514 4520 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4515 4521 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4516 4522 actual function names.
4517 4523
4518 4524 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4519 4525 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4520 4526 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4521 4527 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4522 4528 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4523 4529 really be only function/method names.
4524 4530
4525 4531 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4526 4532
4527 4533 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4528 4534 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4529 4535 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4530 4536
4531 4537 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4538
4533 4539 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4534 4540 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4535 4541 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4536 4542
4537 4543 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4538 4544 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4539 4545
4540 4546 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4541 4547 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4542 4548 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4543 4549
4544 4550 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4545 4551 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4546 4552 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4547 4553
4548 4554 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4549 4555 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4550 4556 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4551 4557
4552 4558 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4559
4554 4560 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4555 4561 Gnuplot.File objects.
4556 4562
4557 4563 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4558 4564
4559 4565 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4560 4566 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4561 4567 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4562 4568
4563 4569 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4564 4570
4565 4571 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4566 4572 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4567 4573
4568 4574 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4569 4575 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4570 4576
4571 4577 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4572 4578 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4573 4579
4574 4580 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4575 4581
4576 4582 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4577 4583 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4578 4584 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4579 4585 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4580 4586
4581 4587 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4582 4588
4583 4589 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4584 4590 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4585 4591 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4586 4592
4587 4593 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4588 4594
4589 4595 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4590 4596 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4591 4597 workaround).
4592 4598
4593 4599 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4594 4600
4595 4601 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4596 4602 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4597 4603
4598 4604 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4599 4605
4600 4606 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4601 4607 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4602 4608
4603 4609 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4604 4610 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4605 4611 .strip() is called on it.
4606 4612
4607 4613
4608 4614 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4609 4615
4610 4616 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4611 4617 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4612 4618 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4613 4619
4614 4620 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4615 4621 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4616 4622
4617 4623 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4618 4624 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4619 4625 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4620 4626
4621 4627 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4622 4628
4623 4629 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4624 4630 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4625 4631 __main__.
4626 4632
4627 4633 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4628 4634 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4629 4635
4630 4636 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4631 4637 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4632 4638 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4633 4639 Mathematica behaves.
4634 4640
4635 4641 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4642
4637 4643 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4638 4644 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4639 4645
4640 4646 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4641 4647 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4642 4648 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4643 4649
4644 4650 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4645 4651 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4646 4652
4647 4653 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4648 4654
4649 4655 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4650 4656 underflow problems in Numeric.
4651 4657 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4652 4658 for exact integer powers of 2.
4653 4659
4654 4660 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4655 4661 properly.
4656 4662
4657 4663 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4658 4664
4659 4665 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4660 4666 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4661 4667
4662 4668 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4663 4669
4664 4670 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4665 4671 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4666 4672
4667 4673 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4668 4674
4669 4675 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4670 4676 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4671 4677 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4672 4678 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4673 4679 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4674 4680 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4675 4681 times).
4676 4682
4677 4683 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4678 4684 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4679 4685 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4680 4686
4681 4687 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4682 4688
4683 4689 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4684 4690 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4685 4691 embedded code.
4686 4692
4687 4693 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4688 4694 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4689 4695 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4690 4696
4691 4697 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4692 4698 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4693 4699 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4694 4700 less special-casing to remember.
4695 4701
4696 4702 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4697 4703
4698 4704 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4699 4705 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4700 4706 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4701 4707 arg is not a defined object.
4702 4708 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4703 4709 a Mike Heeter idea.
4704 4710
4705 4711 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4706 4712 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4707 4713 interactive use.
4708 4714
4709 4715 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4710 4716 filenames.
4711 4717
4712 4718 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4713 4719
4714 4720 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4715 4721 initialization via another struct.
4716 4722
4717 4723 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4718 4724 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4719 4725
4720 4726 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4721 4727
4722 4728 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4723 4729 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4724 4730 too big).
4725 4731
4726 4732 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4727 4733
4728 4734 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4729 4735 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4730 4736 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4731 4737 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4732 4738
4733 4739 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4734 4740
4735 4741 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4736 4742 macros having broken.
4737 4743
4738 4744 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4745
4740 4746 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4741 4747 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4742 4748 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4743 4749 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4744 4750 not to lists.
4745 4751
4746 4752 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4747 4753
4748 4754 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4749 4755 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4750 4756 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4751 4757
4752 4758 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4753 4759 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4754 4760
4755 4761 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4756 4762 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4757 4763 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4758 4764
4759 4765 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4760 4766 triple-quoted strings.
4761 4767
4762 4768 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4763 4769 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4764 4770 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4765 4771 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4766 4772 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4767 4773 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4768 4774
4769 4775 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4770 4776
4771 4777 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4772 4778 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4773 4779 ultraTB).
4774 4780
4775 4781 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4776 4782
4777 4783 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4778 4784 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4779 4785 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4780 4786 user's 'g' variables).
4781 4787
4782 4788 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4783 4789 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4784 4790 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4785 4791 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4786 4792 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4787 4793 macros.
4788 4794
4789 4795 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4790 4796
4791 4797 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4792 4798 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4793 4799
4794 4800 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4795 4801 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4796 4802 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4797 4803
4798 4804 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4799 4805
4800 4806 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4801 4807 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4802 4808 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4803 4809 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4804 4810 aliases.
4805 4811
4806 4812 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4807 4813
4808 4814 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4809 4815 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4810 4816 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4811 4817 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4812 4818
4813 4819 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4814 4820
4815 4821 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4816 4822 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4817 4823 user-defined functions overrode them.
4818 4824
4819 4825 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4820 4826
4821 4827 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4822 4828 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4823 4829
4824 4830 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4825 4831
4826 4832 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4827 4833 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4828 4834 IPython.
4829 4835
4830 4836 * Released 0.2.13
4831 4837
4832 4838 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4833 4839 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4834 4840 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4835 4841 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4836 4842
4837 4843 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4838 4844
4839 4845 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4840 4846 magic properly formatted for screen.
4841 4847
4842 4848 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4843 4849 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4844 4850
4845 4851 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4846 4852 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4847 4853 etc.)
4848 4854
4849 4855 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4850 4856
4851 4857 * Released 0.2.12
4852 4858
4853 4859 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4854 4860
4855 4861 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4856 4862 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4857 4863 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4858 4864 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4859 4865 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4860 4866 an alias to @run -i.
4861 4867
4862 4868 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4863 4869 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4864 4870
4865 4871 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4866 4872
4867 4873 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4868 4874 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4869 4875 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4870 4876
4871 4877 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4872 4878 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4873 4879 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4874 4880 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4875 4881 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4876 4882 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4877 4883 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4878 4884
4879 4885 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4880 4886
4881 4887 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4882 4888 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4883 4889 printed).
4884 4890
4885 4891 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4886 4892 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4887 4893 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4888 4894
4889 4895 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4890 4896 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4891 4897
4892 4898 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4893 4899 handle magic commands in them.
4894 4900 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4895 4901 ~/mylog' now works.
4896 4902
4897 4903 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4898 4904 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4899 4905
4900 4906 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4901 4907
4902 4908 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4903 4909 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4904 4910
4905 4911 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4906 4912 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4907 4913 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4908 4914 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4909 4915 variables are in the context of an exception.
4910 4916 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4911 4917 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4912 4918
4913 4919 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4914 4920 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4915 4921
4916 4922 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4923
4918 4924 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4919 4925 magics can parse options easier.
4920 4926 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4921 4927 suggested by Chris Hart.
4922 4928 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4923 4929 directory actually is in history.
4924 4930
4925 4931 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4926 4932 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4927 4933 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4928 4934
4929 4935 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4930 4936 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4931 4937 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4932 4938 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4933 4939
4934 4940 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4935 4941
4936 4942 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4937 4943 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4938 4944
4939 4945 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4940 4946 text (was a bug).
4941 4947
4942 4948 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4943 4949
4944 4950 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4945 4951 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4946 4952 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4947 4953
4948 4954 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4949 4955
4950 4956 * Released 0.2.10
4951 4957
4952 4958 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4953 4959
4954 4960 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4955 4961 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4956 4962
4957 4963 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4958 4964
4959 4965 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4960 4966 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4961 4967
4962 4968 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4963 4969
4964 4970 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4965 4971 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4966 4972 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4967 4973 __init__.py)
4968 4974
4969 4975 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4970 4976
4971 4977 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4972 4978 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4973 4979 test for being inside IPython.
4974 4980
4975 4981 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4976 4982 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4977 4983 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4978 4984 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4979 4985
4980 4986 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4987
4982 4988 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4983 4989 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4984 4990 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4985 4991
4986 4992 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4987 4993 embedding example to standard user directory for
4988 4994 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4989 4995
4990 4996 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4991 4997 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4992 4998 hidden global).
4993 4999
4994 5000 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4995 5001 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4996 5002 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4997 5003 case.
4998 5004
4999 5005 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5006
5001 5007 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5002 5008 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5003 5009 start.
5004 5010
5005 5011 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5006 5012 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5007 5013 Numeric or math.
5008 5014
5009 5015 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5010 5016 provided profiles. Now we have:
5011 5017 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5012 5018 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5013 5019 -physics -> same as before
5014 5020
5015 5021 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5016 5022 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5017 5023 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5018 5024 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5019 5025 string adds).
5020 5026
5021 5027 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5022 5028 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5023 5029 line with the gnuplot code).
5024 5030
5025 5031 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5026 5032
5027 5033 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5028 5034 all included files change.
5029 5035
5030 5036 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5031 5037 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5032 5038
5033 5039 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5034 5040 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5035 5041 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5036 5042
5037 5043 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5038 5044 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5039 5045
5040 5046 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5041 5047 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5042 5048
5043 5049 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5044 5050 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5045 5051 now accessible.
5046 5052
5047 5053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5048 5054 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5049 5055 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5050 5056 removed.
5051 5057 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5052 5058 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5053 5059 don't crash.
5054 5060 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5055 5061 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5056 5062 remains available.
5057 5063
5058 5064 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5059 5065
5060 5066 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5061 5067
5062 5068 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5063 5069
5064 5070 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5065 5071 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5066 5072 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5067 5073 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5068 5074
5069 5075 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5070 5076
5071 5077 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5072 5078 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5073 5079 sync with the output counter.
5074 5080
5075 5081 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5076 5082 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5077 5083
5078 5084 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5079 5085
5080 5086 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5081 5087 readline, fix it back after each call.
5082 5088
5083 5089 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5084 5090 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5085 5091 traceback references are properly deleted.
5086 5092
5087 5093 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5088 5094 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5089 5095
5090 5096 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5091 5097
5092 5098 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5093 5099 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5094 5100 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5095 5101 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5096 5102 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5097 5103 to catch SystemExit).
5098 5104
5099 5105 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5100 5106 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5101 5107 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5102 5108 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5103 5109 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5104 5110 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5105 5111
5106 5112 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5107 5113
5108 5114 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5109 5115 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5110 5116 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5111 5117
5112 5118 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5113 5119 configurable (it should have always been so).
5114 5120
5115 5121 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5116 5122
5117 5123 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5118 5124 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5119 5125 done in a more elegant way.
5120 5126
5121 5127 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5128
5123 5129 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5124 5130 win9x also.
5125 5131
5126 5132 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5127 5133
5128 5134 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5129 5135 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5130 5136
5131 5137 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5132 5138
5133 5139 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5134 5140
5135 5141 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5136 5142 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5137 5143
5138 5144 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5139 5145 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5140 5146
5141 5147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5142 5148 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5143 5149
5144 5150 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5145 5151 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5146 5152
5147 5153 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5148 5154
5149 5155 * Released 0.2.8
5150 5156
5151 5157 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5152 5158 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5153 5159 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5154 5160 on' so that the first tab completes.
5155 5161 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5156 5162 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5157 5163
5158 5164 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5159 5165 installation.
5160 5166
5161 5167 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5162 5168 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5163 5169
5164 5170 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5165 5171
5166 5172 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5167 5173 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5168 5174 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5169 5175
5170 5176 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5171 5177 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5172 5178
5173 5179 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5174 5180 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5175 5181 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5176 5182 suggestion.
5177 5183
5178 5184 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5179 5185 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5180 5186 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5181 5187
5182 5188 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5183 5189 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5184 5190
5185 5191 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5186 5192
5187 5193 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5188 5194 which properly handles things for windows users.
5189 5195
5190 5196 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5191 5197
5192 5198 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5193 5199 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5194 5200 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5195 5201 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5196 5202 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5197 5203
5198 5204 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5199 5205
5200 5206 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5201 5207
5202 5208 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5203 5209 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5204 5210
5205 5211 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5206 5212
5207 5213 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5208 5214 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5209 5215 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5210 5216 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5211 5217 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5212 5218 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5213 5219
5214 5220 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5215 5221
5216 5222 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5217 5223 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5218 5224
5219 5225 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5220 5226 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5221 5227 cache at 20 values.
5222 5228
5223 5229 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5224 5230 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5225 5231 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5226 5232 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5227 5233
5228 5234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5229 5235 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5230 5236 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5231 5237 'file show').
5232 5238
5233 5239 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5234 5240 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5235 5241
5236 5242 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5237 5243 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5238 5244 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5239 5245
5240 5246 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5241 5247 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5242 5248 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5243 5249 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5244 5250
5245 5251 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5246 5252 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5247 5253 the prompt strings.
5248 5254
5249 5255 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5250 5256
5251 5257 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5252 5258 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5253 5259
5254 5260 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5255 5261 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5256 5262 either globally or at each call.
5257 5263
5258 5264 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5259 5265 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5260 5266 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5261 5267 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5262 5268
5263 5269 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5264 5270
5265 5271 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5266 5272 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5267 5273
5268 5274 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5269 5275
5270 5276 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5271 5277 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5272 5278 learning some lisp...
5273 5279
5274 5280 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5275 5281
5276 5282 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5277 5283 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5278 5284 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5279 5285 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5280 5286
5281 5287 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5282 5288 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5283 5289 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5284 5290
5285 5291 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5286 5292
5287 5293 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5288 5294 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5289 5295 control to emacs users.
5290 5296
5291 5297 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5292 5298 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5293 5299 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5294 5300 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5295 5301 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5296 5302 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5297 5303
5298 5304 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5299 5305
5300 5306 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5301 5307
5302 5308 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5303 5309 @logstate magic was created.
5304 5310
5305 5311 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5306 5312 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5307 5313
5308 5314 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5309 5315
5310 5316 * Released 0.2.6.
5311 5317
5312 5318 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5313 5319 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5314 5320
5315 5321 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5316 5322 SciPy.
5317 5323
5318 5324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5319 5325 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5320 5326 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5321 5327 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5322 5328 the section on embedding and the example file.
5323 5329
5324 5330 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5325 5331 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5326 5332 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5327 5333
5328 5334 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5329 5335 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5330 5336 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5331 5337
5332 5338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5333 5339 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5334 5340 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5335 5341 for this to work.
5336 5342
5337 5343 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5338 5344
5339 5345 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5340 5346 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5341 5347 well inside Emacs buffers.
5342 5348 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5343 5349 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5344 5350 same bug in iplib.
5345 5351
5346 5352 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5347 5353
5348 5354 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5349 5355 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5350 5356
5351 5357 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5352 5358 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5353 5359 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5354 5360
5355 5361 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5356 5362 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5357 5363 display is done.
5358 5364
5359 5365 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5360 5366 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5361 5367
5362 5368 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5363 5369 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5364 5370 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5365 5371 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5366 5372 like in Octave.
5367 5373
5368 5374 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5369 5375 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5370 5376
5371 5377 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5372 5378
5373 5379 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5374 5380 whole file a little.
5375 5381
5376 5382 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5377 5383 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5378 5384 end-user distro.
5379 5385
5380 5386 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5381 5387 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5382 5388 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5383 5389
5384 5390 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5385 5391 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5386 5392
5387 5393 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5388 5394 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5389 5395 for @file.
5390 5396
5391 5397 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5392 5398 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5393 5399 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5394 5400 the code a bit easier.
5395 5401
5396 5402 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5397 5403 information to crash reports.
5398 5404
5399 5405 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5400 5406
5401 5407 * Released 0.2.5.
5402 5408
5403 5409 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5404 5410
5405 5411 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5406 5412 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5407 5413 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5408 5414
5409 5415 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5410 5416
5411 5417 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5412 5418 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5413 5419 have thigs work as expected.
5414 5420
5415 5421 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5416 5422 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5417 5423 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5418 5424 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5419 5425 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5420 5426
5421 5427 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5422 5428 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5423 5429
5424 5430 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5425 5431
5426 5432 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5427 5433 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5428 5434
5429 5435 * README and manual updates.
5430 5436
5431 5437 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5432 5438 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5433 5439
5434 5440 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5435 5441 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5436 5442
5437 5443 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5438 5444 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5439 5445 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5440 5446 extension-less files.
5441 5447
5442 5448 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5443 5449 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5444 5450 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5445 5451
5446 5452 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5447 5453 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5448 5454
5449 5455 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5450 5456 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5451 5457 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5452 5458 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5453 5459 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5454 5460 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5455 5461 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5456 5462 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5457 5463 least make manually a shortcut.
5458 5464
5459 5465 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5460 5466 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5461 5467 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5462 5468 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5463 5469 runtime, with @colors.
5464 5470 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5465 5471 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5466 5472
5467 5473 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5468 5474
5469 5475 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5470 5476 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5471 5477 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5472 5478 read the startup info.
5473 5479
5474 5480 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5475 5481
5476 5482 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5477 5483 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5478 5484 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5479 5485 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5480 5486 type the better off we are.
5481 5487 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5482 5488 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5483 5489 before.
5484 5490
5485 5491 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5486 5492
5487 5493 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5488 5494 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5489 5495 this later.
5490 5496
5491 5497 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5492 5498
5493 5499 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5494 5500 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5495 5501 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5496 5502
5497 5503 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5498 5504
5499 5505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5500 5506 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5501 5507 spitting out only offset information as before.
5502 5508 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5503 5509 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5504 5510
5505 5511 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5506 5512
5507 5513 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5508 5514 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5509 5515 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5510 5516 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5511 5517 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5512 5518 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5513 5519 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5514 5520 macros.
5515 5521
5516 5522 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5517 5523
5518 5524 * Released 0.2.4.
5519 5525
5520 5526 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5521 5527 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5522 5528 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5523 5529 re-execution.
5524 5530
5525 5531 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5526 5532
5527 5533 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5528 5534 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5529 5535 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5530 5536 documented, of course :)
5531 5537 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5532 5538 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5533 5539 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5534 5540
5535 5541 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5536 5542
5537 5543 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5538 5544 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5539 5545 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5540 5546
5541 5547 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5542 5548
5543 5549 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5544 5550 so I wanted an updated release).
5545 5551
5546 5552 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5547 5553
5548 5554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5549 5555 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5550 5556 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5551 5557 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5552 5558 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5553 5559
5554 5560 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5555 5561
5556 5562 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5557 5563 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5558 5564
5559 5565 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5560 5566
5561 5567 * Released 0.2.2.
5562 5568
5563 5569 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5564 5570 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5565 5571 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5566 5572 versions.
5567 5573
5568 5574 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5569 5575 (MayaVi author).
5570 5576
5571 5577 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5572 5578
5573 5579 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5574 5580 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5575 5581 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5576 5582 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5577 5583 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5578 5584
5579 5585 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5580 5586 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5581 5587
5582 5588 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5583 5589
5584 5590 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5585 5591 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5586 5592 nice, full-blown manual.
5587 5593
5588 5594 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5589 5595 trivially simple for end-users.
5590 5596
5591 5597 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5592 5598
5593 5599 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5594 5600 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5595 5601
5596 5602 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5597 5603 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5598 5604
5599 5605 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5600 5606
5601 5607 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5602 5608 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5603 5609 people to later upgrade versions.
5604 5610
5605 5611 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5606 5612 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5607 5613 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5608 5614 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5609 5615 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5610 5616 SystemExit).
5611 5617
5612 5618 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5613 5619 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5614 5620 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5615 5621 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5616 5622 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5617 5623
5618 5624 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5619 5625 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5620 5626 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5621 5627
5622 5628 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5623 5629
5624 5630 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5625 5631 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5626 5632
5627 5633 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5628 5634 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5629 5635 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5630 5636 html docs out of it will be found).
5631 5637
5632 5638 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5633 5639
5634 5640 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5635 5641 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5636 5642
5637 5643 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5638 5644
5639 5645 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5640 5646 visiting any directory in _dh.
5641 5647
5642 5648 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5643 5649 it out with numbers.
5644 5650
5645 5651 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5646 5652
5647 5653 * Released 0.1.22
5648 5654
5649 5655 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5650 5656 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5651 5657
5652 5658 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5653 5659 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5654 5660 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5655 5661 screen the necessary mail command.
5656 5662
5657 5663 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5658 5664 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5659 5665 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5660 5666
5661 5667 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5662 5668
5663 5669 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5664 5670 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5665 5671 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5666 5672 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5667 5673 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5668 5674 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5669 5675 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5670 5676 its name).
5671 5677
5672 5678 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5673 5679 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5674 5680 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5675 5681 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5676 5682
5677 5683 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5678 5684
5679 5685 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5680 5686 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5681 5687
5682 5688 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5683 5689 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5684 5690
5685 5691 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5686 5692 completion of @-starting lines.
5687 5693
5688 5694 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5689 5695 info that other files can read from.
5690 5696
5691 5697 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5692 5698 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5693 5699 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5694 5700 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5695 5701 restores produce less errors.
5696 5702
5697 5703 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5698 5704 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5699 5705 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5700 5706 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5701 5707 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5702 5708
5703 5709 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5704 5710 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5705 5711 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5706 5712 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5707 5713 with this, finally...
5708 5714
5709 5715 * Small documentation updates.
5710 5716
5711 5717 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5712 5718 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5713 5719 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5714 5720
5715 5721 * File renaming:
5716 5722 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5717 5723 ipplib --> iplib
5718 5724 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5719 5725
5720 5726 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5721 5727 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5722 5728 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5723 5729
5724 5730 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5725 5731 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5726 5732 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5727 5733
5728 5734 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5729 5735
5730 5736 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5731 5737 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5732 5738 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5733 5739 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5734 5740
5735 5741 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5736 5742 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5737 5743 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5738 5744
5739 5745 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5740 5746 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5741 5747 road.
5742 5748
5743 5749 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5744 5750 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5745 5751 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5746 5752 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5747 5753
5748 5754 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5749 5755
5750 5756 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5751 5757 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5752 5758 file accordingly.
5753 5759
5754 5760 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5755 5761 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5756 5762 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5757 5763 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5758 5764 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5759 5765 separators and proper padding and justification.
5760 5766
5761 5767 * Released 0.1.20
5762 5768
5763 5769 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5764 5770 copy operation was missing).
5765 5771
5766 5772 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5767 5773 its output is always quite long.
5768 5774
5769 5775 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5770 5776 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5771 5777 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5772 5778 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5773 5779
5774 5780 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5775 5781 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5776 5782 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5777 5783 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5778 5784
5779 5785 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5780 5786
5781 5787 * Released 0.1.19
5782 5788
5783 5789 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5784 5790 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5785 5791
5786 5792 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5787 5793 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5788 5794 comment on 'macros').
5789 5795
5790 5796 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5791 5797
5792 5798 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5793 5799 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5794 5800 statements and takes parameters.
5795 5801
5796 5802 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5797 5803
5798 5804 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5799 5805
5800 5806 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5801 5807
5802 5808 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5803 5809 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5804 5810
5805 5811 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5806 5812 ipythonrc-* samples.
5807 5813
5808 5814 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5809 5815 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5810 5816
5811 5817 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5812 5818 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5813 5819
5814 5820 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5815 5821
5816 5822 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5817 5823 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5818 5824 convention.
5819 5825
5820 5826 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5821 5827 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5822 5828
5823 5829 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5824 5830
5825 5831 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5826 5832 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5827 5833
5828 5834 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5829 5835 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5830 5836 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5831 5837 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5832 5838 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5833 5839 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5834 5840 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5835 5841 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5836 5842 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5837 5843 works.
5838 5844
5839 5845 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5840 5846
5841 5847 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5842 5848 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5843 5849 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5844 5850 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5845 5851 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5846 5852 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5847 5853 all the editors, less does that.
5848 5854
5849 5855 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5850 5856
5851 5857 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5852 5858 crash IPython.
5853 5859
5854 5860 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5855 5861
5856 5862 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5857 5863
5858 5864 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5859 5865 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5860 5866 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5861 5867 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5862 5868 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5863 5869 work in _ofind.
5864 5870
5865 5871 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5866 5872 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5867 5873 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5868 5874 (famous last words).
5869 5875
5870 5876 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5871 5877 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5872 5878 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5873 5879 windows).
5874 5880
5875 5881 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5876 5882 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5877 5883
5878 5884 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5879 5885 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5880 5886 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5881 5887 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5882 5888
5883 5889 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5884 5890 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5885 5891 licences and announce it.
5886 5892
5887 5893 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5888 5894 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5889 5895 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5890 5896 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5891 5897
5892 5898 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5893 5899
5894 5900 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5895 5901 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5896 5902 lists.
5897 5903
5898 5904 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5899 5905 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5900 5906 are ok.
5901 5907
5902 5908 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5903 5909 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5904 5910
5905 5911 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5906 5912 this to Nathan.
5907 5913
5908 5914 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5909 5915
5910 5916 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5911 5917 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5912 5918 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5913 5919
5914 5920 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5915 5921 accepted). Cleaner.
5916 5922
5917 5923 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5918 5924 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5919 5925 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5920 5926 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5921 5927 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5922 5928
5923 5929 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5924 5930
5925 5931 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5926 5932 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5927 5933 history after a log replay.
5928 5934
5929 5935 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5930 5936 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5931 5937 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5932 5938 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5933 5939 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5934 5940 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5935 5941
5936 5942 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5937 5943 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5938 5944 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5939 5945 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5940 5946 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5941 5947
5942 5948 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5943 5949
5944 5950 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5945 5951 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5946 5952 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5947 5953 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5948 5954 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5949 5955 one: cache_size.
5950 5956
5951 5957 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5952 5958 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5953 5959 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5954 5960 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5955 5961
5956 5962 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5957 5963 @ or not).
5958 5964
5959 5965 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5960 5966 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5961 5967 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5962 5968 about licensing).
5963 5969
5964 5970 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5965 5971
5966 5972 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5967 5973 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5968 5974
5969 5975 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5970 5976 screen size for page() operations.
5971 5977
5972 5978 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5973 5979 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5974 5980 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5975 5981 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5976 5982
5977 5983 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5978 5984 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5979 5985 option name tables are clearer.
5980 5986
5981 5987 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5982 5988 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5983 5989 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5984 5990 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5985 5991 was also changed a little to align better.
5986 5992
5987 5993 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5988 5994 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5989 5995
5990 5996 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5991 5997 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5992 5998 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5993 5999
5994 6000 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5995 6001 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5996 6002 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5997 6003 he needs it.
5998 6004
5999 6005 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6000 6006
6001 6007 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6002 6008 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6003 6009 warning on it.
6004 6010
6005 6011 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6006 6012 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6007 6013 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6008 6014 was too long).
6009 6015
6010 6016 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6011 6017 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6012 6018 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6013 6019
6014 6020 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6015 6021 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6016 6022 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6017 6023 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6018 6024 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6019 6025 function for the same task.
6020 6026
6021 6027 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6022 6028
6023 6029 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6024 6030
6025 6031 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6026 6032 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6027 6033 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6028 6034
6029 6035 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6030 6036 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6031 6037 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6032 6038
6033 6039 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6034 6040 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6035 6041 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6036 6042
6037 6043 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6038 6044
6039 6045 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6040 6046
6041 6047 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6042 6048 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6043 6049 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6044 6050
6045 6051 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6046 6052
6047 6053 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6048 6054
6049 6055 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6050 6056
6051 6057 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6052 6058 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6053 6059 maintain.
6054 6060
6055 6061 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6056 6062 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6057 6063 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6058 6064 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6059 6065 compiled and startup is much faster.
6060 6066
6061 6067 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6062 6068 while without messing too much more with the code.
6063 6069
6064 6070 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6065 6071
6066 6072 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6067 6073
6068 6074 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6069 6075 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6070 6076 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6071 6077
6072 6078 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6073 6079 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6074 6080
6075 6081 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6076 6082 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6077 6083 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6078 6084 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6079 6085 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6080 6086 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6081 6087
6082 6088 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6083 6089 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6084 6090
6085 6091 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6086 6092 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6087 6093
6088 6094 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6089 6095 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6090 6096 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6091 6097 excessive.
6092 6098
6093 6099 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6094 6100 types (only first word was displayed).
6095 6101
6096 6102 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6097 6103
6098 6104 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6099 6105
6100 6106 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6101 6107 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6102 6108 travel along many directories.
6103 6109
6104 6110 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6105 6111 arguments with default values.
6106 6112
6107 6113 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6108 6114
6109 6115 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6110 6116 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6111 6117
6112 6118 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6113 6119
6114 6120 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6115 6121 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6116 6122 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6117 6123
6118 6124 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6119 6125
6120 6126 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6121 6127 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6122 6128 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6123 6129 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6124 6130 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6125 6131 purposes.
6126 6132
6127 6133 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6128 6134 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6129 6135 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6130 6136 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6131 6137 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6132 6138 one can simply say
6133 6139 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6134 6140 or even
6135 6141 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6136 6142
6137 6143 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6138 6144 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6139 6145 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6140 6146
6141 6147 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6142 6148 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6143 6149 they were defined in
6144 6150
6145 6151 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6146 6152
6147 6153 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6148 6154 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6149 6155 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6150 6156 these to show the same information.
6151 6157
6152 6158 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6153 6159
6154 6160 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6155 6161 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6156 6162 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6157 6163 backtracked on the whole class!)
6158 6164
6159 6165 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6160 6166 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6161 6167 everything works as before).
6162 6168
6163 6169 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6164 6170 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6165 6171 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6166 6172 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.

6168 6174 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6169 6175
6170 6176 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6171 6177
6172 6178 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6173 6179 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6174 6180
6175 6181 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6176 6182 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6177 6183 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6178 6184 this later.
6179 6185
6180 6186 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6181 6187
6182 6188 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6183 6189 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6184 6190 line option.
6185 6191
6186 6192 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6187 6193 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6188 6194 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6189 6195 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6190 6196 didn't return a result).
6191 6197
6192 6198 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6193 6199
6194 6200 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6195 6201
6196 6202 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6197 6203 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6198 6204 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6199 6205 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6200 6206
6201 6207 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6202 6208
6203 6209 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6204 6210
6205 6211 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6206 6212 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6207 6213
6208 6214 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6209 6215 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6210 6216 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6211 6217 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6212 6218 in with the next entry:
6213 6219
6214 6220 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6215 6221 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6216 6222 handling.
6217 6223
6218 6224 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6219 6225 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6220 6226 namespace protection and documentation.
6221 6227
6222 6228 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6223 6229
6224 6230 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6225 6231 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6226 6232
6227 6233 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6228 6234
6229 6235 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6230 6236
6231 6237 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6232 6238
6233 6239 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6234 6240 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6235 6241 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6236 6242 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6237 6243 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6238 6244
6239 6245 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6240 6246 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6241 6247 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6242 6248
6243 6249 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6244 6250
6245 6251 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6246 6252 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6247 6253
6248 6254 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6249 6255
6250 6256 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6251 6257
6252 6258 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6253 6259 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6254 6260 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6255 6261 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6256 6262 ScientificPython.
6257 6263
6258 6264 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6259 6265
6260 6266 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6261 6267 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6262 6268 when called with no args.
6263 6269
6264 6270 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6265 6271 closely.
6266 6272
6267 6273 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6268 6274 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6269 6275 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6270 6276 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6271 6277 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6272 6278
6273 6279 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6274 6280
6275 6281 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6276 6282 customizations there and access them via import.
6277 6283
6278 6284 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6279 6285
6280 6286 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6281 6287
6282 6288 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6283 6289 Nathan and Janko.
6284 6290
6285 6291 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6286 6292
6287 6293 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6288 6294 too long.
6289 6295
6290 6296 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6291 6297
6292 6298 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6293 6299 ?sin and sin?
6294 6300 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6295 6301 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6296 6302 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6297 6303 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6298 6304
6299 6305 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6300 6306
6301 6307 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6302 6308
6303 6309 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6304 6310 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6305 6311
6306 6312 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6307 6313 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6308 6314 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6309 6315 me).
6310 6316
6311 6317 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6312 6318 protected (reasonably).
6313 6319
6314 6320 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6315 6321 note through it (it was too long).
6316 6322
6317 6323 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6318 6324 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6319 6325 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6320 6326 parameters.
6321 6327
6322 6328
6323 6329 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6324 6330
6325 6331 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6326 6332 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6327 6333 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6328 6334
6329 6335 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6330 6336 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6331 6337 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6332 6338
6333 6339 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6334 6340
6335 6341 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6336 6342
6337 6343 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6338 6344
6339 6345 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6340 6346 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6341 6347 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6342 6348 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6343 6349 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6344 6350 break.
6345 6351
6346 6352 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6347 6353 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6348 6354 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6349 6355 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6350 6356 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6351 6357 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6352 6358
6353 6359 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6354 6360 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6355 6361 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6356 6362 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6357 6363 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6358 6364 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6359 6365 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6360 6366 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6361 6367 trick.
6362 6368
6363 6369 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6364 6370 session restoring.
6365 6371
6366 6372 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6367 6373 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6368 6374 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6369 6375 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6370 6376 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6371 6377
6372 6378 * Started ChangeLog.
