 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
 
 One of Python's nicest features is its interactive interpreter. This allows
 very fast testing of ideas without the overhead of creating test files as is
 typical in most programming languages. However, the interpreter supplied with
 the standard Python distribution is fairly primitive (and IDLE isn't really
 much better).
 
 IPython tries to:
 
   i - provide an efficient environment for interactive work in Python
   programming. It tries to address what we see as shortcomings of the standard
   Python prompt, and adds many features to make interactive work much more
   efficient.
 
   ii - offer a flexible framework so that it can be used as the base
   environment for other projects and problems where Python can be the
   underlying language. Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica,
   IDL and Mathcad inspired its design, but similar ideas can be useful in many
   fields. Python is a fabulous language for implementing this kind of system
   (due to its dynamic and introspective features), and with suitable libraries
   entire systems could be built leveraging Python's power.
 
   iii - serve as an embeddable, ready to go interpreter for your own programs.
 
 IPython requires Python 2.3 or newer.

 """Word completion for IPython.
 
 This module is a fork of the rlcompleter module in the Python standard
 library.  The original enhancements made to rlcompleter have been sent
 upstream and were accepted as of Python 2.3, but we need a lot more
 functionality specific to IPython, so this module will continue to live as an
 IPython-specific utility.
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Original rlcompleter documentation:
 
 This requires the latest extension to the readline module (the
 completes keywords, built-ins and globals in __main__; when completing
 NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and
 completes its attributes.
 
 It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
 completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
 string module!
 
 Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
 
     readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
 
 Notes:
 
 - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and
 generally cause the completion to fail).  This is a feature -- since
 readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a
 traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save,
 reset and restore the tty state.
 
 - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary
 application defined code to be executed if an object with a
 __getattr__ hook is found.  Since it is the responsibility of the
 application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
 acceptable risk.  More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
 indexing operations) are *not* evaluated.
 
 - GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
 raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the completer
 features.  Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
 specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
 its input.
 
 - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
 used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.

 """hooks for IPython.
 
 In Python, it is possible to overwrite any method of any object if you really
 want to.  But IPython exposes a few 'hooks', methods which are _designed_ to
 be overwritten by users for customization purposes.  This module defines the
 default versions of all such hooks, which get used by IPython if not
 overridden by the user.
 
 hooks are simple functions, but they should be declared with 'self' as their
 first argument, because when activated they are registered into IPython as
 instance methods.  The self argument will be the IPython running instance
 itself, so hooks have full access to the entire IPython object.
 
 If you wish to define a new hook and activate it, you need to put the
 necessary code into a python file which can be either imported or execfile()'d
 from within your ipythonrc configuration.
 
 For example, suppose that you have a module called 'myiphooks' in your
 PYTHONPATH, which contains the following definition:
 
 import os
 import IPython.ipapi
 ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
 
 def calljed(self,filename, linenum):
     "My editor hook calls the jed editor directly."
     print "Calling my own editor, jed ..."
     os.system('jed +%d %s' % (linenum,filename))
 
 ip.set_hook('editor', calljed)
 
 You can then enable the functionality by doing 'import myiphooks'
 somewhere in your configuration files or ipython command line.

       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython
       which excepts to catch all of the program exceptions with a try:

       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if
       any app directly invokes sys.excepthook, it will look to the user like
       IPython crashed.  In order to work around this, we can disable the
       CrashHandler and replace it with this excepthook instead, which prints a
       regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
       call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython
       crashes.
