239 239 This utility routine is meant to ease interactive debugging work,
240 240 where you want to easily propagate some internal variable in your code
241 241 up to the interactive namespace for further exploration.
242 242
243 243 When you run code via %run, globals in your script become visible at
244 244 the interactive prompt, but this doesn't happen for locals inside your
245 245 own functions and methods. Yet when debugging, it is common to want
246 246 to explore some internal variables further at the interactive propmt.
247 247
248 248 Examples:
249 249
250 250 To use this, you first must obtain a handle on the ipython object as
251 251 indicated above, via:
252 252
253 253 import IPython.ipapi
254 254 ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
255 255
256 256 Once this is done, inside a routine foo() where you want to expose
257 257 variables x and y, you do the following:
258 258
259 259 def foo():
260 260 ...
261 261 x = your_computation()
262 262 y = something_else()

60 69
61 70 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
62 71
63 72 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
64 73 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
65 74 every %run call.
66 75
67 76 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
68 77 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different

70 79
71 80 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
72 81
73 82 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
74 83 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
75 84 Stefan for the fix.
76 85
77 86 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
78 87 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
79 88 him.
80 89
81 90 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
82 91 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
83 92 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
84 93 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
85 94
86 95 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
87 96 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
88 97 each runcode access.
89 98
90 99 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
91 100 message.
92 101
93 102 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
94 103
95 104 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
96 105 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
97 106 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
98 107
99 108 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
100 109 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
101 110 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
102 111 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
103 112 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
104 113 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
105 114 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
106 115 anything up until we know if it actually works.
107 116
108 117 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
109 118 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
110 119 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
111 120 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
112 121 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
113 122
114 123 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
115 124
116 125 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
117 126 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
118 127 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
119 128
120 129 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
121 130
122 131 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
123 132 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
124 133 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
125 134
126 135 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
127 136
128 137 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
129 138 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
130 139 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
131 140 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
132 141 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
133 142
134 143 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
135 144
136 145 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
137 146 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
138 147
139 148 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
140 149 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
141 150 details in comments left in the code.
142 151
143 152 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
144 153 similar to what we had for Numeric.
145 154
146 155 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
147 156 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
148 157 than readline. Closes #109.
149 158
150 159 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
151 160 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
152 161
153 162 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
154 163
155 164 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
156 165 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
157 166 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
158 167 ongoing Unicode support work.
159 168
160 169 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
161 170 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
162 171 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
163 172 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
164 173
165 174 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
166 175
167 176 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
168 177 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
169 178
170 179 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
171 180
172 181 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
173 182 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
174 183 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
175 184
176 185 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
177 186
178 187 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
179 188 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
180 189 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
181 190 long definition lines for functions.
182 191
183 192 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
184 193
185 194 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
186 195 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
187 196 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
188 197 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
189 198
190 199 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
191 200
192 201 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
193 202
194 203 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
195 204
196 205 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
197 206 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
198 207 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
199 208
200 209 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
201 210 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
202 211
203 212 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
204 213 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
205 214
206 215 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
207 216
208 217 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
209 218 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
210 219 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
211 220
212 221 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
213 222
214 223 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
215 224 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
216 225
217 226 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
218 227 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
219 228 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
220 229 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
221 230 sometimes return "" as last element.
222 231
223 232 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
224 233
225 234 * IPython/completer.py
226 235 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
227 236 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
228 237 would be completed too early.
229 238
230 239 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
231 240 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
232 241 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
233 242 backwards compatibility.
234 243
235 244 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
236 245 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
237 246 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
238 247 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
239 248 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
240 249 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
241 250 also works when debugging.
242 251
243 252 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
244 253 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
245 254
246 255 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
247 256 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
248 257 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
249 258
250 259 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
251 260 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
252 261 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
253 262
254 263 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
255 264 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
256 265
257 266 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
258 267
259 268 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
260 269 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
261 270 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
262 271
263 272 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
264 273
265 274 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
266 275 to be installed alongside igrid.
267 276 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
268 277 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
269 278 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
270 279
271 280 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
272 281
273 282 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
274 283 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
275 284 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
276 285
277 286 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
278 287
279 288 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
280 289 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
281 290
282 291 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
283 292 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
284 293
285 294 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
286 295
287 296 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
288 297 as the default browser.
289 298 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
290 299 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
291 300 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
292 301 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
293 302
294 303 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
295 304
296 305 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
297 306 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
298 307 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
299 308
300 309 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
301 310
302 311 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
303 312 Close help window if exiting igrid.
304 313
305 314 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
306 315
307 316 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
308 317 before calling functions from readline.
309 318
310 319 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
311 320
312 321 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
313 322 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
314 323 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
315 324 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
316 325 falls back to idump.
317 326
318 327 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
319 328
320 329 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
321 330 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
322 331 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
323 332 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
324 333
325 334 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
326 335
327 336 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
328 337 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
329 338 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
330 339 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
331 340 %magic with explicit % prefix.
332 341
333 342 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
334 343
335 344 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
336 345 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
337 346
338 347 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
339 348
340 349 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
341 350 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
342 351 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
343 352 one wants those instead.
344 353
345 354 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
346 355 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
347 356 instead.
348 357
349 358 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
350 359
351 360 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
352 361 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
353 362 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
354 363 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
355 364
356 365 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
357 366
358 367 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
359 368 stop marks.
360 369 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
361 370 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
362 371 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
363 372
364 373 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
365 374
366 375 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
367 376 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
368 377 sumbmitted to upstream.
369 378
370 379 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
371 380
372 381 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
373 382 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
374 383 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
375 384 running into an empty levels list later.
376 385
377 386 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
378 387
379 388 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
380 389 for the noitem object.
381 390
382 391 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
383 392
384 393 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
385 394 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
386 395 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
387 396 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
388 397
389 398 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
390 399
391 400 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
392 401 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
393 402 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
394 403 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
395 404 filenames.
396 405
397 406 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
398 407 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
399 408 out-of-process ipython code.
400 409
401 410 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
402 411 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
403 412 doctesting.
404 413
405 414 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
406 415
407 416 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
408 417
409 418 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
410 419 not being correctly recognized.
411 420
412 421 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
413 422
414 423 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
415 424 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
416 425 only item.
417 426
418 427 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
419 428 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
420 429 infinite recursion for one line strings).
421 430
422 431 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
423 432
424 433 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
425 434 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
426 435 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
427 436
428 437 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
429 438
430 439 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
431 440 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
432 441 "%env VISUAL=jed".
433 442
434 443 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
435 444
436 445 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
437 446 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
438 447 but I'm not exactly sure why).
439 448
440 449 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
441 450 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
442 451
443 452 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
444 453
445 454 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
446 455 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
447 456
448 457 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
449 458 the time during IPython startup is spent.
450 459
451 460 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
452 461
453 462 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
454 463
455 464 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
456 465
457 466 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
458 467
459 468 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
460 469
461 470 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
462 471 to work properly on posix too
463 472
464 473 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
465 474
466 475 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
467 476
468 477 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
469 478 prefix + "/scripts".
470 479
471 480 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
472 481
473 482 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
474 483
475 484 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
476 485 if they already exist
477 486
478 487 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
479 488
480 489 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
481 490
482 491 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
483 492
484 493 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
485 494
486 495 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
487 496 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
488 497 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
489 498
490 499 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
491 500
492 501 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
493 502 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
494 503 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
495 504
496 505 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
497 506 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
498 507 in ipy_user_conf.py
499 508
500 509
501 510 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
502 511 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
503 512 as IPython script.
504 513
505 514 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
506 515
507 516 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
508 517
509 518 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
510 519 is called before any exception has occurred.
511 520
512 521 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
513 522
514 523 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
515 524 to translate /'s to \'s again.
516 525
517 526 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
518 527 backslash.
519 528
520 529 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
521 530
522 531 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
523 532
524 533 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
525 534 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
526 535 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
527 536
528 537 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
529 538 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
530 539
531 540 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
532 541 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
533 542
534 543 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
535 544
536 545 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
537 546
538 547 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
539 548 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
540 549
541 550 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
542 551 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
543 552 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
544 553 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
545 554 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
546 555 mapped to "%" now.
547 556 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
548 557
549 558 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
550 559
551 560 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
552 561 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
553 562 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
554 563 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
555 564
556 565 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
557 566
558 567 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
559 568 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
560 569 for shell escapes.
561 570
562 571 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
563 572
564 573 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
565 574 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
566 575 vcs_completer.
567 576
568 577 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
569 578
570 579 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
571 580 directly instead!
572 581
573 582 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
574 583
575 584 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
576 585 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
577 586
578 587 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
579 588 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
580 589 explicit.
581 590
582 591 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
583 592 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
584 593
585 594 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
586 595
587 596 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
588 597
589 598 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
590 599 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
591 600 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
592 601 implementation for Text is useless.
593 602
594 603 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
595 604
596 605 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
597 606
598 607 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
599 608
600 609 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
601 610 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
602 611 "profile"
603 612
604 613 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
605 614
606 615 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
607 616 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
608 617
609 618 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
610 619 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
611 620
612 621
613 622 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
614 623 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
615 624 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
616 625
617 626 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
618 627
619 628 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
620 629 with one from UserConfig.
621 630
622 631 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
623 632 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
624 633
625 634 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
626 635 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
627 636 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
628 637
629 638 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
630 639
631 640 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
632 641
633 642 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
634 643
635 644 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
636 645
637 646 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
638 647
639 648 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
640 649
641 650 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
642 651
643 652 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
644 653
645 654 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
646 655 by eval of expr with dots.
647 656
648 657 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 658
650 659 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
651 660 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
652 661 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
653 662 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
654 663 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
655 664 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
656 665
657 666 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
658 667
659 668 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
660 669 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
661 670 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
662 671
663 672 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
664 673 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
665 674 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
666 675 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
667 676 funtionality in ipconfig.
668 677
669 678 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
670 679 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
671 680 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
672 681 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
673 682
674 683 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
675 684
676 685 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
677 686 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
678 687 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
679 688 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
680 689 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
681 690 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
682 691 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
683 692 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
684 693 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
685 694 descriptors.
686 695
687 696 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
688 697 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
689 698
690 699 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
691 700 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
692 701
693 702 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
694 703
695 704 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
696 705
697 706 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
698 707
699 708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
700 709 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
701 710 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
702 711
703 712 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
704 713 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
705 714 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
706 715
707 716 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
708 717 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
709 718 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
710 719 ipy_stock_completers.
711 720
712 721 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
713 722
714 723 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
715 724
716 725 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
717 726 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
718 727 when filtering possible completions.
719 728
720 729 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
721 730
722 731 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
723 732 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
724 733 function
725 734
726 735
727 736 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
728 737
729 738 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
730 739 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
731 740 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
732 741 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
733 742 SVN completer.
734 743
735 744 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
736 745 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
737 746 name is %led.
738 747
739 748 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
740 749
741 750 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
742 751 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
743 752 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
744 753
745 754 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
746 755 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
747 756 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
748 757 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
749 758 hook name is 'complete_command'.
750 759
751 760 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
752 761
753 762 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
754 763 Numeric leftovers.
755 764
756 765 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
757 766 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
758 767
759 768 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
760 769 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
761 770
762 771 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
763 772 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
764 773
765 774 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
766 775 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
767 776 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
768 777
769 778 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
770 779
771 780 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
772 781 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
773 782 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
774 783
775 784 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
776 785 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
777 786
778 787 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
779 788
780 789 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
781 790 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
782 791 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
783 792
784 793 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
785 794
786 795 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
787 796 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
788 797 internal crash handler.
789 798
790 799 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
791 800 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
792 801 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
793 802 at the request of SAGE.
794 803
795 804 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
796 805
797 806 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
798 807 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
799 808
800 809 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
801 810 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
802 811 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
803 812 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
804 813
805 814 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
806 815 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
807 816 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
808 817
809 818 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
810 819
811 820 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
812 821 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
813 822 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
814 823
815 824 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
816 825 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
817 826
818 827 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
819 828
820 829 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
821 830 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
822 831 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
823 832 Stefan.
824 833
825 834 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
826 835
827 836 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
828 837 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
829 838 sys.stdout.close().
830 839
831 840 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
832 841
833 842 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
834 843 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
835 844 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
836 845 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
837 846
838 847 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
839 848 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
840 849 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
841 850
842 851 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
843 852 2.5.
844 853
845 854 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
846 855 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
847 856 interactively.
848 857
849 858 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
850 859
851 860 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
852 861 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
853 862
854 863 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
855 864
856 865 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
857 866 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
858 867 or only files.
859 868
860 869 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
861 870
862 871 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
863 872 they broke unittest
864 873
865 874 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
866 875
867 876 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
868 877 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
869 878 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
870 879 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
871 880
872 881 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
873 882
874 883 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
875 884 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
876 885 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
877 886 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
878 887 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
879 888
880 889 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
881 890
882 891 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
883 892 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
884 893
885 894 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
886 895
887 896 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
888 897 the mode argument).
889 898
890 899 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
891 900
892 901 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
893 902 not running under IPython.
894 903
895 904 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
896 905 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
897 906 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
898 907 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
899 908 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
900 909 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
901 910 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
902 911 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
903 912 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
904 913 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
905 914 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
906 915 are still supported.
907 916
908 917 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
909 918 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
910 919 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
911 920 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
912 921
913 922 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
914 923 encoding into methods.
915 924
916 925 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
917 926
918 927 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
919 928 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
920 929
921 930 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
922 931
923 932 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
924 933 non existing attributes.
925 934
926 935 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
927 936
928 937 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
929 938 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
930 939
931 940 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
932 941
933 942 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
934 943 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
935 944
936 945 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
937 946
938 947 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
939 948 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
940 949 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
941 950
942 951 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
943 952
944 953 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
945 954 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
946 955 Stefan van der Walt.
947 956
948 957 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
949 958
950 959 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
951 960 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
952 961
953 962 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
954 963
955 964 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
956 965 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
957 966 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
958 967
959 968 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
960 969
961 970 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
962 971 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
963 972 attributes.
964 973
965 974 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
966 975
967 976 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
968 977 commands into the methods implementing them.
969 978
970 979 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
971 980
972 981 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
973 982 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
974 983 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
975 984
976 985 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
977 986
978 987 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
979 988 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
980 989
981 990 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
982 991
983 992 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
984 993 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
985 994
986 995 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
987 996
988 997 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
989 998 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
990 999 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
991 1000 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
992 1001 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
993 1002 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
994 1003 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
995 1004 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
996 1005 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
997 1006 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
998 1007 the x key to "delete".
999 1008
1000 1009 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1001 1010
1002 1011 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1003 1012 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1004 1013 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1005 1014 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1006 1015
1007 1016 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1008 1017 prompt
1009 1018
1010 1019 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1011 1020
1012 1021 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1013 1022
1014 1023 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1015 1024 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1016 1025 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1017 1026 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1018 1027
1019 1028 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1020 1029
1021 1030 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1022 1031 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1023 1032 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1024 1033 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1025 1034 doesn't work properly yet.
1026 1035
1027 1036 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1028 1037
1029 1038 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1030 1039 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1031 1040 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1032 1041
1033 1042 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1034 1043
1035 1044 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1036 1045 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1037 1046 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1038 1047 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1039 1048 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1040 1049 execute commands.
1041 1050
1042 1051 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1043 1052
1044 1053 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1045 1054 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1046 1055
1047 1056 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1048 1057
1049 1058 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1050 1059 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1051 1060
1052 1061 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1053 1062
1054 1063 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1055 1064 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1056 1065 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1057 1066
1058 1067 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1059 1068
1060 1069 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1061 1070
1062 1071 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1063 1072 Repo tagged and release cut.

1065 1074 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1066 1075
1067 1076 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1068 1077 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1069 1078
1070 1079 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1071 1080 (for %upgrade)
1072 1081
1073 1082 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1074 1083
1075 1084 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1076 1085 instead of looping 20 times.
1077 1086
1078 1087 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1079 1088 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1080 1089 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1081 1090
1082 1091 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1083 1092 testing for release on 06/06.
1084 1093
1085 1094 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1086 1095
1087 1096 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1088 1097 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1089 1098 live in people's PATH.
1090 1099
1091 1100 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1092 1101 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1093 1102 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1094 1103 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1095 1104 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1096 1105
1097 1106 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1098 1107 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1099 1108
1100 1109 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1101 1110
1102 1111 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1103 1112 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1104 1113
1105 1114 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1106 1115
1107 1116 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1108 1117 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1109 1118 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1110 1119
1111 1120 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1112 1121
1113 1122 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1114 1123 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1115 1124 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1116 1125 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1117 1126
1118 1127 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1119 1128 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1120 1129 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1121 1130 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1122 1131
1123 1132 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1124 1133 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1125 1134 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1126 1135 work.
1127 1136
1128 1137 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1129 1138
1130 1139 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1131 1140 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1132 1141
1133 1142 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1134 1143 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1135 1144 author William Stein.
1136 1145
1137 1146 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1138 1147 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1139 1148 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1140 1149 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1141 1150 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1142 1151 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1143 1152 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1144 1153 objects more easily.
1145 1154
1146 1155 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1147 1156
1148 1157 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1149 1158 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1150 1159 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1151 1160 by Jeffrey Collins.
1152 1161
1153 1162 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1154 1163 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1155 1164 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1156 1165 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1157 1166
1158 1167 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1159 1168 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1160 1169 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1161 1170 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1162 1171
1163 1172 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1164 1173 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1165 1174 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1166 1175 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1167 1176 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1168 1177 compatibility)
1169 1178
1170 1179 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1171 1180 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1172 1181 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1173 1182
1174 1183 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1175 1184 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1176 1185 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1177 1186 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1178 1187 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1179 1188
1180 1189 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1181 1190 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1182 1191 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1183 1192
1184 1193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1185 1194 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1186 1195 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1187 1196 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1188 1197 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1189 1198 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1190 1199 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1191 1200
1192 1201 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1193 1202 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1194 1203 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1195 1204
1196 1205 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1197 1206 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1198 1207 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1199 1208
1200 1209 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1201 1210 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1202 1211
1203 1212 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1204 1213
1205 1214 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1206 1215 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1207 1216 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1208 1217 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1209 1218 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1210 1219 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1211 1220 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1212 1221 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1213 1222 while running under SAGE.
1214 1223
1215 1224 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1216 1225
1217 1226 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1218 1227 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1219 1228 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1220 1229 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1221 1230
1222 1231 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1223 1232
1224 1233 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1225 1234 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1226 1235 updated.
1227 1236
1228 1237 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1229 1238 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1230 1239 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1231 1240 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1232 1241 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1233 1242
1234 1243 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1235 1244 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1236 1245 so more testing is needed...
1237 1246
1238 1247 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1239 1248
1240 1249 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1241 1250 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1242 1251 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1243 1252 when doing complex debugging.
1244 1253 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1245 1254 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1246 1255 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1247 1256 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1248 1257
1249 1258 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1250 1259
1251 1260 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1252 1261 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1253 1262 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1254 1263 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1255 1264
1256 1265 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1257 1266
1258 1267 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1259 1268 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1260 1269
1261 1270 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1262 1271
1263 1272 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1264 1273 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1265 1274 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1266 1275 been the one to acquire it.
1267 1276
1268 1277 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1269 1278
1270 1279 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1271 1280
1272 1281 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1273 1282
1274 1283 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1275 1284 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1276 1285 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1277 1286
1278 1287 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1279 1288 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1280 1289 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1281 1290 properly flush the output cache.
1282 1291
1283 1292 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1284 1293 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1285 1294
1286 1295 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1287 1296
1288 1297 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1289 1298 are quoted
1290 1299
1291 1300 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1292 1301
1293 1302 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1294 1303 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1295 1304
1296 1305 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1297 1306 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1298 1307
1299 1308 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1300 1309
1301 1310 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1302 1311 %upgrade magic
1303 1312
1304 1313 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1305 1314
1306 1315 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1307 1316 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1308 1317 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1309 1318
1310 1319 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1311 1320
1312 1321 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1313 1322 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1314 1323
1315 1324 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1316 1325 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1317 1326 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1318 1327 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1319 1328 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1320 1329
1321 1330 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1322 1331
1323 1332 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1324 1333 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1325 1334
1326 1335 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1327 1336
1328 1337 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1329 1338 Torsten Marek.
1330 1339
1331 1340 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1332 1341
1333 1342 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1334 1343 line ranges works again.
1335 1344
1336 1345 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1337 1346
1338 1347 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1339 1348 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1340 1349 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1341 1350 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1342 1351 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1343 1352
1344 1353 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1345 1354 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1346 1355 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1347 1356 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1348 1357 more.
1349 1358
1350 1359 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1351 1360
1352 1361 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1353 1362 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1354 1363
1355 1364 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1356 1365
1357 1366 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1358 1367 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1359 1368
1360 1369 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1361 1370
1362 1371 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1363 1372
1364 1373 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1365 1374
1366 1375 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1367 1376
1368 1377 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1369 1378 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1370 1379 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1371 1380
1372 1381 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1373 1382
1374 1383 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1375 1384 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1376 1385 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1377 1386 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1378 1387
1379 1388 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1380 1389 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1381 1390
1382 1391 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1383 1392 contributed by marienz to close
1384 1393 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1385 1394
1386 1395 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1387 1396
1388 1397 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1389 1398
1390 1399 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1391 1400 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1392 1401 nonsense.
1393 1402
1394 1403 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1395 1404
1396 1405 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1397 1406 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1398 1407
1399 1408 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1400 1409
1401 1410 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1402 1411
1403 1412 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1404 1413 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1405 1414
1406 1415 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1407 1416
1408 1417 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1409 1418 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1410 1419 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1411 1420 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1412 1421 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1413 1422 SAGE team.
1414 1423 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1415 1424 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1416 1425
1417 1426 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1418 1427 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1419 1428 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1420 1429 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1421 1430 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1422 1431
1423 1432 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1424 1433
1425 1434 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1426 1435 correctly now (on Linux)
1427 1436
1428 1437 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1429 1438 warnings
1430 1439
1431 1440 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1432 1441
1433 1442 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1434 1443
1435 1444
1436 1445 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1437 1446
1438 1447 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1439 1448 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1440 1449 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1441 1450 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1442 1451 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1443 1452 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1444 1453 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1445 1454 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1446 1455
1447 1456 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1448 1457
1449 1458 * aliases can now be %store'd
1450 1459
1451 1460 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1452 1461 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1453 1462 at __init__.
1454 1463
1455 1464 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1456 1465 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1457 1466
1458 1467 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1459 1468
1460 1469 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1461 1470 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1462 1471 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1463 1472
1464 1473 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1465 1474
1466 1475 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1467 1476
1468 1477 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1469 1478
1470 1479 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1471 1480 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1472 1481 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1473 1482 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1474 1483
1475 1484 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1476 1485 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1477 1486
1478 1487 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1479 1488
1480 1489 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1481 1490 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1482 1491 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1483 1492 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1484 1493
1485 1494 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1486 1495 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1487 1496 usage.
1488 1497
1489 1498 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1490 1499 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1491 1500 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1492 1501
1493 1502 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1494 1503
1495 1504 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1496 1505 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1497 1506
1498 1507 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1499 1508 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1500 1509 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1501 1510
1502 1511 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1503 1512
1504 1513 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1505 1514
1506 1515 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1507 1516
1508 1517 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1509 1518 are now more helpful:
1510 1519 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1511 1520
1512 1521 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1513 1522
1514 1523 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1515 1524 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1516 1525
1517 1526 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1518 1527
1519 1528 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1520 1529 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1521 1530
1522 1531 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1523 1532 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1524 1533 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1525 1534
1526 1535 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1527 1536
1528 1537
1529 1538 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1530 1539
1531 1540 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1532 1541 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1533 1542
1534 1543 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1535 1544
1536 1545 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1537 1546 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1538 1547 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1539 1548 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1540 1549 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1541 1550 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1542 1551
1543 1552 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1544 1553
1545 1554 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1546 1555 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1547 1556 \python24\scripts).
1548 1557
1549 1558 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1550 1559 egg.
1551 1560
1552 1561 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1553 1562
1554 1563 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1555 1564
1556 1565 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1557 1566
1558 1567 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1559 1568
1560 1569 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1561 1570
1562 1571 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1563 1572 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1564 1573 \python24\scripts).
1565 1574
1566 1575 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1567 1576 egg.
1568 1577
1569 1578 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1570 1579
1571 1580 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1572 1581 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1573 1582 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1574 1583
1575 1584 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1576 1585 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1577 1586 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1578 1587 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1579 1588
1580 1589 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1581 1590 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1582 1591 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1583 1592 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1584 1593 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1585 1594 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1586 1595 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1587 1596 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1588 1597 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1589 1598 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1590 1599 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1591 1600 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1592 1601
1593 1602 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1594 1603
1595 1604 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1596 1605 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1597 1606 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1598 1607 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1599 1608
1600 1609 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1601 1610
1602 1611 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1603 1612 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1604 1613 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1605 1614 importing extensions easy.
1606 1615
1607 1616 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1608 1617 classes / instances of those classes.
1609 1618
1610 1619 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1611 1620 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1612 1621 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1613 1622 the user.
1614 1623
1615 1624 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1616 1625 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1617 1626 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1618 1627
1619 1628 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1620 1629
1621 1630 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1622 1631 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1623 1632 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1624 1633 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1625 1634 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1626 1635 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1627 1636 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1628 1637 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1629 1638 the method.
1630 1639
1631 1640 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1632 1641
1633 1642 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1634 1643 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1635 1644
1636 1645 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1637 1646
1638 1647 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1639 1648 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1640 1649 Vivian.
1641 1650
1642 1651 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1643 1652 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1644 1653 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1645 1654 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1646 1655 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1647 1656
1648 1657 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1649 1658
1650 1659 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1651 1660 that returns file contents on exit.
1652 1661
1653 1662 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1654 1663 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1655 1664 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1656 1665 sc files=ls
1657 1666 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1658 1667 print p,p.mtime
1659 1668
1660 1669 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1661 1670 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1662 1671 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1663 1672 instead of syntax error.
1664 1673
1665 1674
1666 1675 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1667 1676
1668 1677 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1669 1678 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1670 1679 data.
1671 1680
1672 1681 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1673 1682 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1674 1683 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1675 1684 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1676 1685
1677 1686 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1678 1687 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1679 1688 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1680 1689 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1681 1690 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1682 1691 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1683 1692
1684 1693 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1685 1694
1686 1695 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1687 1696 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1688 1697 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1689 1698 current dir.
1690 1699
1691 1700 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1692 1701 had to create new files.
1693 1702
1694 1703 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1695 1704 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1696 1705 future.
1697 1706
1698 1707 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1699 1708 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1700 1709 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1701 1710
1702 1711
1703 1712 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1704 1713
1705 1714 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1706 1715 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1707 1716 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1708 1717 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1709 1718 later.
1710 1719
1711 1720 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1712 1721 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1713 1722
1714 1723 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1715 1724
1716 1725 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1717 1726 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1718 1727 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1719 1728 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1720 1729 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1721 1730 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1722 1731
1723 1732 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1724 1733
1725 1734 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1726 1735 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1727 1736 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1728 1737 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1729 1738 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1730 1739 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1731 1740 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1732 1741 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1733 1742 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1734 1743 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1735 1744
1736 1745 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1737 1746 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1738 1747 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1739 1748 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1740 1749
1741 1750 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1742 1751 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1743 1752 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1744 1753 "setup.py install" between changes).
1745 1754
1746 1755 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1747 1756 if 1:
1748 1757 !ls
1749 1758 !!ls
1750 1759
1751 1760 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1752 1761
1753 1762 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1754 1763 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1755 1764 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1756 1765 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1757 1766
1758 1767 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1759 1768 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1760 1769 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1761 1770
1762 1771 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1763 1772
1764 1773 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1765 1774 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1766 1775 win32.
1767 1776
1768 1777 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1769 1778
1770 1779 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1771 1780
1772 1781 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1773 1782 ready for release.
1774 1783
1775 1784 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1776 1785 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1777 1786 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1778 1787 where to copy the info from.

1780 1789 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1781 1790
1782 1791 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1783 1792 support in the release tools as well.
1784 1793
1785 1794 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1786 1795
1787 1796 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1788 1797 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1789 1798 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1790 1799 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1791 1800
1792 1801 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1793 1802 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1794 1803 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1795 1804
1796 1805 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1797 1806 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1798 1807
1799 1808 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1800 1809 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1801 1810 printer not to work.
1802 1811
1803 1812 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1804 1813
1805 1814 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1806 1815 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1807 1816
1808 1817 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1809 1818
1810 1819 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1811 1820 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1812 1821 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1813 1822
1814 1823 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1815 1824 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1816 1825 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1817 1826
1818 1827 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1819 1828 Ville's patch.
1820 1829
1821 1830 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1822 1831
1823 1832 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1824 1833 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1825 1834 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1826 1835 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1827 1836 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1828 1837 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1829 1838 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1830 1839
1831 1840 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1832 1841 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1833 1842 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1834 1843
1835 1844 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1836 1845
1837 1846 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1838 1847 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1839 1848
1840 1849 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1841 1850 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1842 1851 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1843 1852 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1844 1853 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1845 1854 twister).
1846 1855
1847 1856 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1848 1857 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1849 1858 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1850 1859
1851 1860 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1852 1861 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1853 1862 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1854 1863 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1855 1864 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1856 1865 something inside the dis module.
1857 1866
1858 1867 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1859 1868
1860 1869 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1861 1870 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1862 1871 follows the discussion in
1863 1872 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1864 1873
1865 1874 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1866 1875 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1867 1876 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1868 1877
1869 1878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1870 1879 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1871 1880 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1872 1881
1873 1882 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1874 1883 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1875 1884 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1876 1885 speed up this routine.
1877 1886
1878 1887 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1879 1888 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1880 1889 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1881 1890 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1882 1891 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1883 1892 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1884 1893 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1885 1894 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1886 1895
1887 1896 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1888 1897 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1889 1898 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1890 1899
1891 1900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1892 1901 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1893 1902 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1894 1903 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1895 1904 setters don't do anything).
1896 1905
1897 1906 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1898 1907
1899 1908 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1900 1909 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1901 1910 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1902 1911 falling out of sync...)
1903 1912
1904 1913 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1905 1914 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1906 1915 as loops).
1907 1916
1908 1917 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1909 1918 win32 system access.
1910 1919
1911 1920 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1912 1921
1913 1922 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1914 1923 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1915 1924 thread-safe.
1916 1925 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1917 1926 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1918 1927 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1919 1928 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1920 1929 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1921 1930 can still happen.
1922 1931 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1923 1932 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1924 1933 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1925 1934 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1926 1935 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1927 1936 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1928 1937 cleanly.
1929 1938
1930 1939 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1931 1940 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1932 1941 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1933 1942 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1934 1943 users' persisted data.
1935 1944
1936 1945 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1937 1946 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1938 1947 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1939 1948 multiline input (such as macros).
1940 1949
1941 1950 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1942 1951 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1943 1952 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1944 1953 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1945 1954 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1946 1955 informative).
1947 1956
1948 1957 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1949 1958 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1950 1959
1951 1960 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1952 1961 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1953 1962 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1954 1963
1955 1964 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1956 1965 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1957 1966 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1958 1967 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1959 1968 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1960 1969 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1961 1970 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1962 1971 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1963 1972 details.
1964 1973
1965 1974 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1966 1975 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1967 1976 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1968 1977 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1969 1978 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1970 1979
1971 1980 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1972 1981 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1973 1982 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1974 1983 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1975 1984 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1976 1985
1977 1986 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1978 1987 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1979 1988 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1980 1989 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1981 1990 options to %logstart. Closes
1982 1991 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1983 1992 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1984 1993
1985 1994 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1986 1995
1987 1996 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1988 1997 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1989 1998 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1990 1999 list:
1991 2000 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1992 2001
1993 2002 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1994 2003
1995 2004 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1996 2005 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1997 2006 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1998 2007 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1999 2008
2000 2009 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2001 2010 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2002 2011 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2003 2012 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2004 2013 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2005 2014
2006 2015 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2007 2016 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2008 2017 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2009 2018 true by default.
2010 2019
2011 2020 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2012 2021 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2013 2022 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2014 2023 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2015 2024
2016 2025 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2017 2026
2018 2027 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2019 2028 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2020 2029 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2021 2030 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2022 2031 version committed).
2023 2032
2024 2033 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2025 2034 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2026 2035 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2027 2036 discussion on the user list.
2028 2037
2029 2038 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2030 2039 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2031 2040 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2032 2041 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2033 2042
2034 2043 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2035 2044
2036 2045 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2037 2046 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2038 2047 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2039 2048
2040 2049 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2041 2050 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2042 2051 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2043 2052
2044 2053 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2045 2054 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2046 2055 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2047 2056 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2048 2057 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2049 2058 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2050 2059 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2051 2060 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2052 2061 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2053 2062 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2054 2063 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2055 2064 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2056 2065 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2057 2066 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2058 2067 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2059 2068 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2060 2069 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2061 2070 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2062 2071 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2063 2072 branch refactoring.
2064 2073
2065 2074 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2066 2075
2067 2076 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2068 2077 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2069 2078
2070 2079 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2071 2080 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2072 2081 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2073 2082 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2074 2083 worked correctly).
2075 2084
2076 2085 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2077 2086 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2078 2087 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2079 2088
2080 2089 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2081 2090
2082 2091 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2083 2092 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2084 2093 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2085 2094 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2086 2095 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2087 2096 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2088 2097 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2089 2098 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2090 2099
2091 2100 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2092 2101
2093 2102 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2094 2103 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2095 2104 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2096 2105 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2097 2106 on this.
2098 2107
2099 2108 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2100 2109
2101 2110 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2102 2111 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2103 2112 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2104 2113 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2105 2114 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2106 2115
2107 2116 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2108 2117
2109 2118 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2110 2119 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2111 2120 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2112 2121 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2113 2122
2114 2123 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2115 2124
2116 2125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2117 2126 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2118 2127 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2119 2128
2120 2129 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2121 2130
2122 2131 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2123 2132 startup time.
2124 2133
2125 2134 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2126 2135 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2127 2136 it's working in all cases.
2128 2137
2129 2138 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2130 2139 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2131 2140 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2132 2141 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2133 2142 per-search basis.
2134 2143
2135 2144 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2136 2145
2137 2146 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2138 2147 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2139 2148 of a patch by Jorgen.
2140 2149
2141 2150 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2142 2151
2143 2152 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2144 2153 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2145 2154 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2146 2155
2147 2156 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2148 2157
2149 2158 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2150 2159 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2151 2160 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2152 2161 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2153 2162
2154 2163 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2155 2164
2156 2165 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2157 2166 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2158 2167 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2159 2168 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2160 2169 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2161 2170 implementing this functionality.
2162 2171
2163 2172 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2164 2173
2165 2174 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2166 2175 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2167 2176 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2168 2177 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2169 2178 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2170 2179 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2171 2180 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2172 2181
2173 2182 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2174 2183
2175 2184 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2176 2185 reported by Stephen Walton.
2177 2186
2178 2187 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2179 2188
2180 2189 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2181 2190
2182 2191 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2183 2192 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2184 2193
2185 2194 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2186 2195
2187 2196 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2188 2197 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2189 2198
2190 2199 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2191 2200 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2192 2201
2193 2202 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2194 2203
2195 2204 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2196 2205 finishing.
2197 2206
2198 2207 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2199 2208 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2200 2209
2201 2210 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2202 2211 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2203 2212 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2204 2213
2205 2214 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2206 2215 code, handy in general.
2207 2216
2208 2217 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2209 2218 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2210 2219 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2211 2220
2212 2221 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2213 2222
2214 2223 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2215 2224 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2216 2225 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2217 2226 testing, though.
2218 2227 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2219 2228 like this before...
2220 2229
2221 2230 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2222 2231 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2223 2232
2224 2233 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2225 2234 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2226 2235
2227 2236 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2228 2237
2229 2238 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2230 2239 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2231 2240 F. Mantegazza.
2232 2241
2233 2242 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2234 2243
2235 2244 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2236 2245 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2237 2246 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2238 2247
2239 2248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2240 2249 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2241 2250 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2242 2251 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2243 2252 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2244 2253 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2245 2254
2246 2255 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2247 2256
2248 2257 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2249 2258 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2250 2259 beyond readline-based environments.
2251 2260
2252 2261 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2253 2262
2254 2263 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2255 2264
2256 2265 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2257 2266 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2258 2267 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2259 2268 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2260 2269 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2261 2270
2262 2271 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2263 2272
2264 2273 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2265 2274 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2266 2275 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2267 2276
2268 2277 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2269 2278
2270 2279 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2271 2280
2272 2281 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2273 2282
2274 2283 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2275 2284 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2276 2285 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2277 2286 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2278 2287 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2279 2288 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2280 2289
2281 2290 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2282 2291
2283 2292 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2284 2293
2285 2294 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2286 2295
2287 2296 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2288 2297 invalid $HOME under win32.
2289 2298
2290 2299 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2291 2300
2292 2301 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2293 2302 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2294 2303 simpler and a bit faster.
2295 2304
2296 2305 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2297 2306 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2298 2307 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2299 2308 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2300 2309 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2301 2310
2302 2311 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2303 2312 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2304 2313 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2305 2314
2306 2315 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2307 2316 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2308 2317
2309 2318 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2310 2319 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2311 2320 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2312 2321 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2313 2322 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2314 2323 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2315 2324 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2316 2325
2317 2326 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2318 2327
2319 2328 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2320 2329
2321 2330 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2322 2331
2323 2332 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2324 2333 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2325 2334
2326 2335 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2327 2336
2328 2337 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2329 2338 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2330 2339 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2331 2340 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2332 2341 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2333 2342 for the contribution.
2334 2343
2335 2344 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2336 2345 slightly modified version of the patch in
2337 2346 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2338 2347 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2339 2348 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2340 2349
2341 2350 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2342 2351
2343 2352 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2344 2353 I/O a bit more.
2345 2354
2346 2355 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2347 2356 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2348 2357
2349 2358 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2350 2359
2351 2360 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2352 2361
2353 2362 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2354 2363 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2355 2364 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2356 2365 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2357 2366
2358 2367 readline_remove_delims -/~
2359 2368
2360 2369
2361 2370 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2362 2371
2363 2372 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2364 2373
2365 2374 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2366 2375 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2367 2376 <eli@gondolin.net>
2368 2377
2369 2378 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2370 2379
2371 2380 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2372 2381 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2373 2382
2374 2383 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2375 2384
2376 2385 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2377 2386 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2378 2387 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2379 2388
2380 2389 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2390
2382 2391 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2383 2392 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2384 2393
2385 2394 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2386 2395
2387 2396 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2388 2397 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2389 2398
2390 2399 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2391 2400 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2392 2401 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2393 2402 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2394 2403 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2395 2404 for more details.
2396 2405
2397 2406 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2398 2407 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2399 2408 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2400 2409 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2401 2410
2402 2411 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2403 2412
2404 2413 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2405 2414 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2406 2415 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2407 2416 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2408 2417 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2409 2418
2410 2419 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2411 2420 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2412 2421 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2413 2422
2414 2423 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2415 2424
2416 2425 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2417 2426
2418 2427 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2419 2428
2420 2429 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2421 2430 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2422 2431 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2423 2432 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2424 2433 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2425 2434
2426 2435 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2427 2436
2428 2437 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2429 2438
2430 2439 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2431 2440 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2432 2441 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2433 2442 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2434 2443 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2435 2444
2436 2445 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2437 2446 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2438 2447 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2439 2448 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2440 2449 take the text parameter.
2441 2450
2442 2451 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2443 2452 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2444 2453 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2445 2454 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2446 2455 pysh profile to include the line
2447 2456
2448 2457 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2449 2458
2450 2459 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2451 2460 delete pysh.py and the line
2452 2461
2453 2462 execfile pysh.py
2454 2463
2455 2464 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2456 2465
2457 2466 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2458 2467 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2459 2468 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2460 2469 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2461 2470 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2462 2471
2463 2472 * pysh.py:
2464 2473
2465 2474 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2466 2475
2467 2476 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2468 2477 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2469 2478 want it can still turn it off.
2470 2479
2471 2480 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2472 2481 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2473 2482 off by default.
2474 2483
2475 2484 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2476 2485 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2477 2486 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2478 2487 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2479 2488 calls.
2480 2489
2481 2490 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2482 2491
2483 2492 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2484 2493 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2485 2494 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2486 2495
2487 2496 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2488 2497
2489 2498 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2490 2499 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2491 2500 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2492 2501 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2493 2502
2494 2503 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2495 2504 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2496 2505 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2497 2506 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.

2499 2508 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2500 2509
2501 2510 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2502 2511 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2503 2512
2504 2513 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2505 2514 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2506 2515 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2507 2516 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2508 2517 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2509 2518 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2510 2519 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2511 2520 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2512 2521
2513 2522 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2514 2523
2515 2524 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2516 2525 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2517 2526 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2518 2527 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2519 2528 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2520 2529 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2521 2530 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2522 2531 add new completers at runtime.
2523 2532
2524 2533 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2525 2534
2526 2535 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2527 2536 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2528 2537 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2529 2538 ? system.
2530 2539
2531 2540 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2532 2541 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2533 2542 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2534 2543 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2535 2544 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2536 2545 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2537 2546 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2538 2547 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2539 2548
2540 2549 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2541 2550
2542 2551 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2543 2552 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2544 2553 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2545 2554 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2546 2555 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2547 2556
2548 2557 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2549 2558 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2550 2559 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2551 2560 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2552 2561 add:
2553 2562
2554 2563 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2555 2564 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

2557 2566 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2558 2567
2559 2568 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2560 2569 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2561 2570 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2562 2571 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2563 2572
2564 2573 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2565 2574 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2566 2575 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2567 2576 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2568 2577 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2569 2578 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2570 2579 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2571 2580 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2572 2581 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2573 2582
2574 2583 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2575 2584
2576 2585 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2577 2586 prompt namespace handling.
2578 2587
2579 2588 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2580 2589
2581 2590 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2582 2591 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2583 2592 trips the emacs python mode).
2584 2593 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2585 2594 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2586 2595 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2587 2596 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2588 2597 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2589 2598 calls will be made at runtime.

2591 2600 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2592 2601
2593 2602 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2594 2603 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2595 2604 the call to %history.

2600 2609
2601 2610 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2602 2611 ipmagic() function calls.
2603 2612
2604 2613 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2605 2614 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2606 2615
2607 2616 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2608 2617
2609 2618 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2610 2619 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2611 2620 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2612 2621 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2613 2622 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2614 2623 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2615 2624 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2616 2625 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2617 2626
2618 2627 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2619 2628
2620 2629 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2621 2630 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2622 2631 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2623 2632 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2624 2633 Ville Vainio.

2626 2635 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2627 2636
2628 2637 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2629 2638 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2630 2639 define the ones they personally like.
2631 2640
2632 2641 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2633 2642
2634 2643 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2635 2644 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2636 2645
2637 2646 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2638 2647
2639 2648 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2640 2649 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2641 2650
2642 2651 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2643 2652 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2644 2653 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2645 2654 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2646 2655 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2647 2656 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2648 2657 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2649 2658 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2650 2659
2651 2660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2652 2661 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2653 2662 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2654 2663 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2655 2664 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2658 2667
2659 2668 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2660 2669 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2661 2670 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2662 2671
2663 2672 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2664 2673 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2665 2674 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2666 2675

2669 2678 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2670 2679
2671 2680 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2672 2681 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2673 2682 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2674 2683 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2675 2684 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2676 2685 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2677 2686 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2678 2687 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2679 2688 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2680 2689 system is a separate implementation).
2681 2690
2682 2691 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2683 2692 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2684 2693 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2685 2694 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2686 2695 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2687 2696 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2688 2697 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2689 2698 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2690 2699 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2691 2700 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2692 2701 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

2694 2703 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2695 2704
2696 2705 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2697 2706 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2698 2707 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2699 2708 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2700 2709 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2701 2710 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2702 2711 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2703 2712 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

2705 2714 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2706 2715
2707 2716 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2708 2717 previous call produced a syntax error.
2709 2718
2710 2719 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2711 2720 classes without constructor.
2712 2721
2713 2722 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2714 2723
2715 2724 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2716 2725 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2717 2726 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2718 2727 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2719 2728 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2720 2729 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2721 2730 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

2724 2733
2725 2734 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2726 2735 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2727 2736
2728 2737 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2729 2738
2730 2739 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2731 2740 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2732 2741 optimizations.
2733 2742
2734 2743 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2735 2744 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2736 2745
2737 2746 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2738 2747
2739 2748 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2740 2749 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2741 2750 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2742 2751 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2743 2752 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2744 2753 avoid annoying the lists further.

2749 2758
2750 2759 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2751 2760 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2752 2761 norm definitions.
2753 2762 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2754 2763 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2755 2764 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2756 2765
2757 2766 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2758 2767 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2759 2768 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2760 2769 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2761 2770 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2762 2771
2763 2772 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2764 2773 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2765 2774 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2766 2775 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2767 2776
2768 2777 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2769 2778 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2770 2779 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2771 2780 fixes.
2772 2781
2773 2782 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2774 2783 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2775 2784 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2776 2785 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2777 2786 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2778 2787 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2779 2788 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2784 2793
2785 2794 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2786 2795 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2787 2796 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2788 2797 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2789 2798 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2790 2799 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2791 2800 Panel.
2792 2801
2793 2802 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2794 2803 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2795 2804 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2796 2805 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2797 2806 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2798 2807
2799 2808 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2800 2809
2801 2810 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2802 2811 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.

2807 2816
2808 2817 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2809 2818 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2810 2819 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2811 2820 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2812 2821 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2813 2822 python shell.
2814 2823
2815 2824 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2816 2825 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2817 2826 on assignments. This closes
2818 2827 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2819 2828 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2820 2829 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2831 2840 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2832 2841 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2833 2842
2834 2843 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2835 2844
2836 2845 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2837 2846 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2838 2847 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2839 2848
2840 2849 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2841 2850
2842 2851 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2843 2852 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2844 2853 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2845 2854
2846 2855 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2847 2856
2848 2857 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2849 2858 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2850 2859 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2851 2860
2852 2861 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2853 2862 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2854 2863 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2855 2864
2856 2865 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2857 2866
2858 2867 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2859 2868 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2860 2869
2861 2870 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2862 2871
2863 2872 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2864 2873 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2865 2874 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2866 2875
2867 2876 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2868 2877
2869 2878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2870 2879 reported by Prabhu.
2871 2880 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2872 2881 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2873 2882 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2874 2883
2875 2884 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2876 2885 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2877 2886
2878 2887 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2879 2888 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2880 2889 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2881 2890 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2882 2891 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2883 2892 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2884 2893
2885 2894 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2886 2895
2887 2896 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2888 2897
2889 2898 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2890 2899 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2891 2900 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2892 2901 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2893 2902
2894 2903 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2895 2904 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2896 2905
2897 2906 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2898 2907 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2899 2908 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2900 2909 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2901 2910 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2902 2911 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2903 2912 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2904 2913
2905 2914 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2906 2915 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2907 2916 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2908 2917
2909 2918 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2910 2919 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2911 2920 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2912 2921 before.
2913 2922
2914 2923 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2915 2924
2916 2925 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2917 2926 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2918 2927 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2919 2928 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2920 2929
2921 2930 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2922 2931 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2923 2932 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2924 2933 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2925 2934 timing very short-running code.
2926 2935
2927 2936 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2928 2937 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2929 2938 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2930 2939 utility.
2931 2940
2932 2941 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2933 2942 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2934 2943 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2935 2944 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2936 2945 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2937 2946 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2938 2947 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2939 2948 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2940 2949
2941 2950 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2942 2951 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2943 2952 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2944 2953
2945 2954 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2946 2955 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2947 2956 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2948 2957 is for).
2949 2958
2950 2959 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2951 2960 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2952 2961 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2953 2962 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2954 2963 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2955 2964
2956 2965 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2957 2966
2958 2967 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2959 2968 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2960 2969 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2961 2970 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2962 2971 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2963 2972
2964 2973 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2965 2974 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2966 2975 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2967 2976 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2968 2977 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2969 2978 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2970 2979
2971 2980 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2972 2981
2973 2982 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2974 2983 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2975 2984
2976 2985 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2977 2986
2978 2987 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2979 2988 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2980 2989 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2981 2990 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2982 2991
2983 2992 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2984 2993
2985 2994 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2986 2995
2987 2996 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2988 2997 setting with -d option.
2989 2998
2990 2999 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2991 3000 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2992 3001 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2993 3002 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2994 3003
2995 3004 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2996 3005
2997 3006 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2998 3007 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2999 3008
3000 3009 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3001 3010 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3002 3011 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3003 3012 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3004 3013 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3005 3014 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3006 3015 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3007 3016 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3008 3017 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3009 3018 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3010 3019 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3011 3020
3012 3021 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3013 3022
3014 3023 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3015 3024 cache when empty lines were present.
3016 3025
3017 3026 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3018 3027
3019 3028 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3020 3029 options for WX and GTK.
3021 3030
3022 3031 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3023 3032
3024 3033 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3025 3034 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3026 3035 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3027 3036 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3028 3037 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3029 3038 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3030 3039 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3031 3040
3032 3041 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3033 3042 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3034 3043
3035 3044 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3036 3045
3037 3046 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3038 3047 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3039 3048 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3040 3049 many thanks.
3041 3050
3042 3051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3043 3052 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3044 3053 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3045 3054
3046 3055 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3047 3056
3048 3057 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3049 3058 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3050 3059 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3051 3060
3052 3061 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3053 3062
3054 3063 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3055 3064
3056 3065 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3057 3066 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3058 3067 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3059 3068
3060 3069 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3061 3070
3062 3071 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3063 3072 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3064 3073
3065 3074 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3066 3075
3067 3076 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3068 3077 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3069 3078 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3070 3079 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3071 3080 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3072 3081 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3073 3082 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3074 3083
3075 3084 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3076 3085
3077 3086 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3078 3087 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3079 3088 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3080 3089 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3081 3090
3082 3091 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3083 3092 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3084 3093
3085 3094 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3086 3095
3087 3096 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3088 3097 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3089 3098
3090 3099 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3091 3100 use throughout ipython.
3092 3101
3093 3102 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3094 3103 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3095 3104
3096 3105 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3097 3106 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3098 3107 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3099 3108 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3100 3109
3101 3110 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3102 3111
3103 3112 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3104 3113 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3105 3114 report by Francesc Alted.
3106 3115
3107 3116 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3108 3117
3109 3118 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3110 3119 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3111 3120
3112 3121 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3113 3122
3114 3123 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3115 3124 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3116 3125 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3117 3126 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3118 3127 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3119 3128 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3120 3129 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3121 3130 correctly set.
3122 3131
3123 3132 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3124 3133
3125 3134 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3126 3135 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3127 3136 import requirement of PEP-328.
3128 3137
3129 3138 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3130 3139 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3131 3140 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3132 3141 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3133 3142
3134 3143 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3135 3144
3136 3145 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3137 3146
3138 3147 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3139 3148 via a normal python function call.
3140 3149
3141 3150 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3142 3151 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3143 3152 2.4.
3144 3153
3145 3154 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3146 3155
3147 3156 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3148 3157 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3149 3158 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3150 3159 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3151 3160 is given to the user).
3152 3161
3153 3162 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3154 3163
3155 3164 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3156 3165 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3157 3166 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3158 3167 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3159 3168
3160 3169 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3161 3170 python 2.2.
3162 3171
3163 3172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3164 3173 banner arg for embedded customization.
3165 3174
3166 3175 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3167 3176 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3168 3177 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3169 3178 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3170 3179 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3171 3180 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3172 3181
3173 3182 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3174 3183 minor changes to debian dir.
3175 3184
3176 3185 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3177 3186 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3178 3187 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3179 3188 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3180 3189
3181 3190 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3182 3191
3183 3192 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3184 3193 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3185 3194 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3186 3195 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3187 3196 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.

3189 3198 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3190 3199
3191 3200 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3192 3201 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3193 3202
3194 3203 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3195 3204
3196 3205 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3197 3206 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3198 3207
3199 3208 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3200 3209
3201 3210 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3202 3211
3203 3212 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3204 3213 updated.
3205 3214
3206 3215 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3207 3216
3208 3217 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3209 3218 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3210 3219 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3211 3220 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3212 3221 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3213 3222
3214 3223 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3215 3224 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3216 3225 split regexp. Closes
3217 3226 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3218 3227 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3219 3228 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3220 3229 extensions.
3221 3230
3222 3231 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3223 3232 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3224 3233 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3225 3234 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3226 3235 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3227 3236
3228 3237 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3229 3238 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3230 3239 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3231 3240 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3232 3241
3233 3242 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3234 3243 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3235 3244
3236 3245 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3237 3246 fine-tune banner.
3238 3247
3239 3248 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3240 3249 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3241 3250
3242 3251 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3243 3252
3244 3253 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3245 3254 were missing.
3246 3255
3247 3256 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3248 3257 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3249 3258 valid at the command line.
3250 3259
3251 3260 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3252 3261 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3253 3262
3254 3263 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3255 3264
3256 3265 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3257 3266 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3258 3267 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3259 3268
3260 3269 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3261 3270
3262 3271 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3263 3272 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3264 3273 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3265 3274 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3266 3275 continue to use the standard profiler.
3267 3276
3268 3277 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3269 3278
3270 3279 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3271 3280 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3272 3281 close.
3273 3282
3274 3283 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3275 3284
3276 3285 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3277 3286 in Magic and ultraTB.
3278 3287
3279 3288 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3280 3289
3281 3290 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3282 3291 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3283 3292 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3284 3293 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3285 3294
3286 3295 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3287 3296 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3288 3297 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3289 3298 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3290 3299 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3291 3300 infrastructure in place.
3292 3301
3293 3302 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3294 3303
3295 3304 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3296 3305
3297 3306 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3298 3307 the pylab profile.
3299 3308
3300 3309 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3301 3310
3302 3311 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3312
3304 3313 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3305 3314 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3306 3315 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3307 3316 itself.
3308 3317
3309 3318 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3310 3319 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3311 3320 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3312 3321 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3313 3322 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3314 3323 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3315 3324 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3316 3325 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3317 3326
3318 3327 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3319 3328 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3320 3329
3321 3330 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3322 3331
3323 3332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3324 3333 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3325 3334 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3326 3335
3327 3336 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3328 3337
3329 3338 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3330 3339 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3331 3340
3332 3341 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3333 3342
3334 3343 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3335 3344
3336 3345 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3337 3346
3338 3347 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3339 3348
3340 3349 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3341 3350 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3342 3351 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3343 3352
3344 3353 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3345 3354
3346 3355 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3347 3356 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3348 3357 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3349 3358 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3350 3359 works.
3351 3360
3352 3361 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3353 3362 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3354 3363 practice.
3355 3364
3356 3365 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3357 3366
3358 3367 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3359 3368 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3360 3369 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3361 3370
3362 3371 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3363 3372
3364 3373 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3365 3374 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3366 3375 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3367 3376 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3368 3377
3369 3378 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3379
3371 3380 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3372 3381 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3373 3382 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3374 3383 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3375 3384
3376 3385 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3377 3386
3378 3387 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3388
3380 3389 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3381 3390 fail for any number.
3382 3391 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3383 3392 empty bookmarks.
3384 3393
3385 3394 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3386 3395
3387 3396 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3388 3397
3389 3398 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3390 3399
3391 3400 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3392 3401 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3393 3402
3394 3403 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3395 3404 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3396 3405
3397 3406 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3398 3407
3399 3408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3400 3409 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3401 3410 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3402 3411 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3403 3412 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3404 3413
3405 3414 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3406 3415
3407 3416 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3408 3417 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3409 3418
3410 3419 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3411 3420
3412 3421 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3413 3422 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3414 3423 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3415 3424 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3416 3425
3417 3426 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3418 3427 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3419 3428 Schmolck.
3420 3429
3421 3430 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3422 3431
3423 3432 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3424 3433
3425 3434 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3426 3435 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3427 3436
3428 3437 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3429 3438 optimizations.
3430 3439
3431 3440 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3432 3441 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3433 3442
3434 3443 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3435 3444 --Started changelog.
3436 3445 --make clear do what it say it does
3437 3446 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3438 3447 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3439 3448 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3440 3449 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3441 3450 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3442 3451 can be done for other cases.
3443 3452 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3444 3453 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3445 3454 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3446 3455
3447 3456 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3448 3457 --added logfile rotation
3449 3458 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3450 3459
3451 3460 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3452 3461 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3453 3462 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3454 3463 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3455 3464 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3456 3465 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3457 3466 --added global logfile option
3458 3467 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3459 3468 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3460 3469
3461 3470 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3462 3471 --added a README
3463 3472 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3464 3473 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3465 3474 bug or feature.
3466 3475 --changed rc file for new behavior
3467 3476
3468 3477 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3469 3478
3470 3479 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3471 3480 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3472 3481 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3473 3482
3474 3483 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3475 3484 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3476 3485
3477 3486 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3478 3487
3479 3488 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3480 3489 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3481 3490 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3482 3491 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3483 3492 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3484 3493 and prepended with a #.
3485 3494
3486 3495 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3487 3496 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3488 3497
3489 3498 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3490 3499
3491 3500 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3492 3501 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3493 3502
3494 3503 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3495 3504
3496 3505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3497 3506 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3498 3507
3499 3508 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3500 3509
3501 3510 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3502 3511 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3503 3512 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3504 3513
3505 3514 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3506 3515
3507 3516 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3508 3517 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3509 3518
3510 3519 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3511 3520 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3512 3521 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3513 3522 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3514 3523 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3515 3524 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3516 3525 be implemented later).
3517 3526
3518 3527 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3519 3528 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3520 3529 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3521 3530 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3522 3531
3523 3532 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3524 3533 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3525 3534 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3526 3535
3527 3536 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3528 3537 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3529 3538
3530 3539 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3531 3540 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3532 3541 readline make it impossible to go further.
3533 3542
3534 3543 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3535 3544
3536 3545 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3537 3546 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3538 3547
3539 3548 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3540 3549
3541 3550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3542 3551 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3543 3552 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3544 3553 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3545 3554
3546 3555 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3547 3556 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3548 3557 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3549 3558 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3550 3559
3551 3560 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3552 3561 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3553 3562 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3554 3563 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3555 3564 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3556 3565 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3557 3566 problem.
3558 3567
3559 3568 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3560 3569 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3561 3570
3562 3571 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3563 3572 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3564 3573 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3565 3574
3566 3575 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3567 3576
3568 3577 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3569 3578 continue prompts.
3570 3579
3571 3580 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3572 3581 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3573 3582 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3574 3583 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3575 3584 byte-compilation saves time.
3576 3585
3577 3586 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3578 3587
3579 3588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3580 3589 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3581 3590
3582 3591 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3583 3592 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3584 3593
3585 3594 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3586 3595 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3587 3596 common cases where it's a problem.
3588 3597
3589 3598 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3590 3599
3591 3600 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3592 3601 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3593 3602 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3594 3603 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3595 3604 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3596 3605 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3597 3606
3598 3607 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3599 3608
3600 3609 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3601 3610 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3602 3611
3603 3612 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3604 3613 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3605 3614 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3606 3615 structure as win_exec_ext.
3607 3616
3608 3617 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3609 3618 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3610 3619
3611 3620 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3612 3621 delete aliases.
3613 3622
3614 3623 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3615 3624 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3616 3625
3617 3626 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3618 3627
3619 3628 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3620 3629 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3621 3630
3622 3631 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3623 3632
3624 3633 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3625 3634 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3626 3635
3627 3636 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3628 3637 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3629 3638
3630 3639 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3631 3640 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3632 3641 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3633 3642 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3634 3643 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3635 3644 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3636 3645
3637 3646 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3638 3647 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3639 3648 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3640 3649
3641 3650 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3642 3651 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3643 3652 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3644 3653
3645 3654 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3646 3655 via an extra $. For example:
3647 3656
3648 3657 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3649 3658
3650 3659 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3651 3660 a python variable
3652 3661
3653 3662 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3654 3663 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3655 3664
3656 3665 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3657 3666 things prematurely.
3658 3667
3659 3668 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3660 3669 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3661 3670
3662 3671 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3663 3672 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3664 3673 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3665 3674 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3666 3675 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3667 3676 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3668 3677 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3669 3678 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3670 3679
3671 3680 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3672 3681 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3673 3682 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3674 3683 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3675 3684 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3676 3685 with the old system).
3677 3686
3678 3687 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3679 3688
3680 3689 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3681 3690 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3682 3691
3683 3692 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3684 3693 call to eval.
3685 3694 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3686 3695 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3687 3696 in.
3688 3697
3689 3698 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3699
3691 3700 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3692 3701 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3693 3702 confusion).
3694 3703
3695 3704 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3696 3705 check for Windows users.
3697 3706
3698 3707 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3699 3708 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3700 3709 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3701 3710 download it.
3702 3711
3703 3712 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3704 3713
3705 3714 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3706 3715 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3707 3716 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3708 3717 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3709 3718 of IDLE's out).
3710 3719
3711 3720 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3712 3721 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3713 3722 eventually.
3714 3723 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3715 3724
3716 3725 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3717 3726
3718 3727 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3719 3728 list of auto-defined aliases.
3720 3729
3721 3730 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3722 3731
3723 3732 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3724 3733 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3725 3734 things under Windows).
3726 3735
3727 3736 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3728 3737
3729 3738 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3730 3739 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3731 3740 reported by Thorsten.
3732 3741
3733 3742 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3734 3743
3735 3744 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3736 3745 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3737 3746 for all examples and the manual as well.
3738 3747
3739 3748 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3740 3749
3741 3750 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3742 3751 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3743 3752 inherit from BasePrompt.
3744 3753
3745 3754 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3746 3755 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3747 3756
3748 3757 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3749 3758 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3750 3759 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3751 3760 defaults.
3752 3761 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3753 3762 this fix manually!
3754 3763
3755 3764 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3756 3765 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3757 3766 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3758 3767 distutils).
3759 3768
3760 3769 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3761 3770 usage of new '\D' escape.
3762 3771
3763 3772 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3764 3773 lacks os.getuid())
3765 3774 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3766 3775 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3767 3776 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3768 3777 handling mechanism.
3769 3778 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3770 3779 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3771 3780 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3772 3781 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3773 3782 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3774 3783 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3775 3784 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3776 3785
3777 3786 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3778 3787
3779 3788 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3780 3789 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3781 3790 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3782 3791
3783 3792 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3784 3793 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3785 3794 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3786 3795 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3787 3796 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3788 3797 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3789 3798 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3790 3799 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3791 3800
3792 3801 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3793 3802 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3794 3803 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3795 3804 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3796 3805 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3797 3806 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3798 3807 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3799 3808 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3800 3809
3801 3810 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3802 3811 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3803 3812 functions uniform.
3804 3813 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3805 3814
3806 3815 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3807 3816 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3808 3817 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3809 3818 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3810 3819 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3811 3820 use to parse their options.
3812 3821
3813 3822 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3814 3823 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3815 3824 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3816 3825
3817 3826 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3818 3827 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3819 3828 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3820 3829 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3821 3830 via the prompt_specials.
3822 3831
3823 3832 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3833
3825 3834 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3826 3835 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3827 3836 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3828 3837 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3829 3838 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3830 3839 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3831 3840 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3832 3841 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3833 3842
3834 3843 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3835 3844
3836 3845 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3837 3846 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3838 3847 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3839 3848
3840 3849 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3841 3850
3842 3851 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3843 3852 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3844 3853
3845 3854 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3846 3855
3847 3856 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3848 3857 parens would get passed to the shell.
3849 3858
3850 3859 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3851 3860
3852 3861 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3853 3862 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3854 3863
3855 3864 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3856 3865 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3857 3866 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3858 3867 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3859 3868 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3860 3869
3861 3870 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3862 3871 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3863 3872 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3864 3873 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3865 3874
3866 3875 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3867 3876
3868 3877 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3869 3878
3870 3879 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3871 3880 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3872 3881 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3873 3882
3874 3883 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3875 3884 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3876 3885 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3877 3886 official documentation.
3878 3887
3879 3888 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3880 3889
3881 3890 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3882 3891 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3883 3892 explicit filename.
3884 3893
3885 3894 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3886 3895
3887 3896 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3888 3897 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3889 3898 case.
3890 3899
3891 3900 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3892 3901 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3893 3902 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3894 3903
3895 3904 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3896 3905
3897 3906 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3898 3907
3899 3908 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3900 3909 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3901 3910 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3902 3911 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3903 3912 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3904 3913 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3905 3914 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3906 3915 any changes to python proper.
3907 3916
3908 3917 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3909 3918 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3910 3919 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3911 3920 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3912 3921 Schmolck.

3914 3923 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3915 3924
3916 3925 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3917 3926 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3918 3927 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3919 3928 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3920 3929
3921 3930 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3931
3923 3932 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3924 3933 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3925 3934 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3926 3935 name).
3927 3936
3928 3937 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3929 3938 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3930 3939 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3931 3940 Francois Pinard.
3932 3941
3933 3942 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3934 3943
3935 3944 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3936 3945 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3937 3946 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3938 3947 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3939 3948 not work.
3940 3949
3941 3950 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3942 3951
3943 3952 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3944 3953 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3945 3954 distinguishes stdout/err.
3946 3955
3947 3956 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3948 3957 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3949 3958 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3950 3959 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3951 3960 the standard library.
3952 3961
3953 3962 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3954 3963 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3955 3964
3956 3965 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3957 3966 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3958 3967
3959 3968 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3960 3969
3961 3970 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3962 3971 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3963 3972 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3964 3973 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3965 3974 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3966 3975 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3967 3976
3968 3977 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3969 3978
3970 3979 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3971 3980 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3972 3981 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3973 3982 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3974 3983
3975 3984 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3976 3985
3977 3986 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3978 3987 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3979 3988 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3980 3989 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3981 3990
3982 3991 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3983 3992
3984 3993 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3985 3994 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3986 3995 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3987 3996 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3988 3997 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3989 3998 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3990 3999 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3991 4000 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3992 4001
3993 4002 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3994 4003
3995 4004 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3996 4005 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3997 4006
3998 4007 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3999 4008
4000 4009 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4001 4010 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4002 4011 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4003 4012 very short.
4004 4013
4005 4014 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4006 4015
4007 4016 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4008 4017 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4009 4018 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4010 4019 this before making it permanent.
4011 4020
4012 4021 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4013 4022 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4014 4023 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4015 4024 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4016 4025
4017 4026 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4018 4027
4019 4028 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4020 4029 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4021 4030
4022 4031 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4023 4032
4024 4033 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4025 4034 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4026 4035 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4027 4036 cases I've missed.
4028 4037
4029 4038 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4030 4039
4031 4040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4032 4041 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4033 4042 system would be triggered for @p.
4034 4043
4035 4044 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4036 4045 cleanups, code unmodified.
4037 4046
4038 4047 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4039 4048 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4040 4049 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4041 4050 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4042 4051 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4043 4052 The actual changes affect many files.
4044 4053
4045 4054 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4055
4047 4056 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4048 4057 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4049 4058 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4050 4059
4051 4060 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4052 4061
4053 4062 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4054 4063 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4055 4064
4056 4065 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4057 4066
4058 4067 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4059 4068 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4060 4069 numpy list.
4061 4070
4062 4071 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4063 4072
4064 4073 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4065 4074 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4066 4075 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4067 4076 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4068 4077
4069 4078 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4070 4079
4071 4080 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4072 4081 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4073 4082 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4074 4083 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4075 4084
4076 4085 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4077 4086 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4078 4087
4079 4088 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4080 4089
4081 4090 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4082 4091 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4083 4092 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4084 4093 Collins.
4085 4094
4086 4095 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4087 4096
4088 4097 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4089 4098
4090 4099 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4091 4100 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4092 4101 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4093 4102
4094 4103 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4095 4104
4096 4105 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4097 4106 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4098 4107 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4099 4108 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4100 4109
4101 4110 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4102 4111 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4103 4112 __getitem__ and __call__.
4104 4113
4105 4114 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4106 4115
4107 4116 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4108 4117
4109 4118 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4110 4119 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4111 4120 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4112 4121 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4113 4122
4114 4123 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4115 4124 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4116 4125 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4117 4126 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4118 4127 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4119 4128 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4120 4129 necessary.
4121 4130
4122 4131 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4123 4132 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4124 4133 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4125 4134
4126 4135 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4127 4136 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4128 4137 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4129 4138 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4130 4139
4131 4140 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4132 4141 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4133 4142 generators.
4134 4143
4135 4144 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4136 4145 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4137 4146 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4138 4147 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4139 4148 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4140 4149 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4141 4150 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4142 4151
4143 4152 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4144 4153 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4145 4154 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4146 4155 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4147 4156 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4148 4157
4149 4158 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4150 4159 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4151 4160 edit under some circumstances.
4152 4161 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4153 4162 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4154 4163 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4155 4164 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4156 4165 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4157 4166 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4158 4167 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4159 4168 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4160 4169 need more testing.
4161 4170
4162 4171 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4163 4172
4164 4173 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4165 4174 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4166 4175 and simpler code.
4167 4176
4168 4177 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4169 4178
4170 4179 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4171 4180 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4172 4181 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4173 4182 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4174 4183 even if they were contiguous.
4175 4184 (l1norm): Added this function.
4176 4185 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4177 4186 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4178 4187 and speed.
4179 4188
4180 4189 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4181 4190
4182 4191 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4183 4192 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4184 4193 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4185 4194
4186 4195 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4187 4196
4188 4197 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4189 4198 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4190 4199 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4191 4200
4192 4201 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4193 4202 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4194 4203 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4195 4204
4196 4205 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4206
4198 4207 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4199 4208 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4200 4209 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4201 4210 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4202 4211 activity.
4203 4212
4204 4213 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4205 4214
4206 4215 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4207 4216 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4208 4217 Numeric.identity)
4209 4218
4210 4219 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4220
4212 4221 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4213 4222 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4214 4223 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4215 4224
4216 4225 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4217 4226
4218 4227 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4219 4228 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4220 4229 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4221 4230 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4222 4231
4223 4232 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4224 4233 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4225 4234 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4226 4235 is implemented).
4227 4236
4228 4237 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4238
4230 4239 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4231 4240 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4232 4241 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4233 4242
4234 4243 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4235 4244 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4236 4245 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4237 4246 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4238 4247 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4239 4248
4240 4249 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4241 4250
4242 4251 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4243 4252
4244 4253 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4245 4254 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4246 4255 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4247 4256
4248 4257 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4249 4258
4250 4259 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4251 4260 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4252 4261 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4253 4262
4254 4263 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4255 4264 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4256 4265 crash report from Prabhu.
4257 4266
4258 4267 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4259 4268
4260 4269 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4261 4270 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4262 4271 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4263 4272 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4264 4273 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4265 4274 also be useful in other cases.
4266 4275
4267 4276 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4268 4277 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4269 4278 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4270 4279
4271 4280 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4272 4281
4273 4282 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4274 4283
4275 4284 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4276 4285 installing for a new user under Windows.
4277 4286
4278 4287 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4279 4288
4280 4289 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4281 4290 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4282 4291 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4283 4292 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4284 4293 there.
4285 4294
4286 4295 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4287 4296 info to crash reports.
4288 4297
4289 4298 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4290 4299 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4291 4300 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4292 4301 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4293 4302
4294 4303 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4295 4304
4296 4305 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4297 4306 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4298 4307 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4299 4308 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4300 4309
4301 4310 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4302 4311
4303 4312 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4304 4313 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4305 4314
4306 4315 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4307 4316
4308 4317 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4309 4318 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4310 4319
4311 4320 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4312 4321
4313 4322 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4314 4323
4315 4324 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4316 4325 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4317 4326 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4318 4327
4319 4328 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4320 4329 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4321 4330 with the new auto-indent option.
4322 4331
4323 4332 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4324 4333
4325 4334 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4326 4335 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4327 4336 this class from the main Shell class.
4328 4337
4329 4338 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4330 4339 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4331 4340 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4332 4341 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4333 4342 option).
4334 4343
4335 4344 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4336 4345 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4337 4346 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4338 4347 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4339 4348 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4340 4349
4341 4350 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4342 4351 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4343 4352 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4344 4353
4345 4354 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4346 4355 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4347 4356 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4348 4357 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4349 4358 tracebacks.
4350 4359
4351 4360 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4352 4361 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4353 4362 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4354 4363
4355 4364 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4356 4365
4357 4366 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4358 4367 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4359 4368 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4360 4369 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4361 4370
4362 4371 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4363 4372
4364 4373 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4365 4374 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4366 4375 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4367 4376 for the bug report.
4368 4377
4369 4378 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4370 4379
4371 4380 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4372 4381 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4373 4382 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4374 4383 report.
4375 4384
4376 4385 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4377 4386
4378 4387 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4379 4388 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4380 4389 end).
4381 4390
4382 4391 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4383 4392 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4384 4393 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4385 4394
4386 4395 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4387 4396
4388 4397 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4389 4398 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4390 4399 for the patch.
4391 4400
4392 4401 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4393 4402
4394 4403 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4395 4404 functions.
4396 4405
4397 4406 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4398 4407
4399 4408 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4400 4409
4401 4410 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4402 4411 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4403 4412 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4404 4413 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4405 4414 private fix.
4406 4415
4407 4416 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4408 4417 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4409 4418 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4410 4419 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4411 4420 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4412 4421 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4413 4422 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4414 4423 fixed for this setup.
4415 4424
4416 4425 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4417 4426 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4418 4427
4419 4428 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4420 4429
4421 4430 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4422 4431
4423 4432 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4424 4433 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4425 4434 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4426 4435 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4427 4436 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4428 4437 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4429 4438 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4430 4439 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4431 4440 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4432 4441
4433 4442 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4434 4443 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4435 4444 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4436 4445
4437 4446 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4438 4447
4439 4448 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4440 4449
4441 4450 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4442 4451 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4443 4452 pickle-related issue in @run).
4444 4453
4445 4454 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4446 4455
4447 4456 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4448 4457 the autocall option at runtime.
4449 4458 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4450 4459 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4451 4460 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4452 4461 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4453 4462 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4454 4463 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4455 4464 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4456 4465 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4457 4466 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4458 4467 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4459 4468 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4460 4469 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4461 4470 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4462 4471 pickles to save something sensible.
4463 4472
4464 4473 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4465 4474
4466 4475 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4467 4476 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4468 4477 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4469 4478
4470 4479 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4471 4480
4472 4481 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4473 4482 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4474 4483
4475 4484 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4476 4485
4477 4486 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4478 4487 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4479 4488 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4480 4489 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4481 4490
4482 4491 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4483 4492
4484 4493 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4485 4494 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4486 4495 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4487 4496 array is non-contiguous.
4488 4497
4489 4498 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4490 4499
4491 4500 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4492 4501 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4493 4502 executed).
4494 4503 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4495 4504 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4496 4505 output.
4497 4506 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4498 4507 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4499 4508 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4500 4509 changing.
4501 4510
4502 4511 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4503 4512
4504 4513 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4514
4506 4515 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4507 4516 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4508 4517 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4509 4518 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4510 4519 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4511 4520 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4512 4521 like a normal command-line.
4513 4522
4514 4523 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4515 4524 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4516 4525 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4517 4526 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4518 4527
4519 4528 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4520 4529
4521 4530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4522 4531 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4523 4532 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4524 4533 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4525 4534
4526 4535 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4527 4536
4528 4537 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4529 4538 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4530 4539 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4531 4540 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4532 4541 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4533 4542 think it's worth doing.
4534 4543
4535 4544 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4536 4545
4537 4546 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4538 4547
4539 4548 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4540 4549 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4541 4550
4542 4551 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4543 4552 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4544 4553 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4545 4554 also work ok.
4546 4555
4547 4556 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4548 4557
4549 4558 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4550 4559
4551 4560 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4552 4561
4553 4562 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4554 4563 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4555 4564 of gnuplot data files.
4556 4565
4557 4566 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4558 4567
4559 4568 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4560 4569 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4561 4570
4562 4571 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4563 4572
4564 4573 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4565 4574 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4566 4575 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4567 4576 for pointing this out.
4568 4577
4569 4578 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4570 4579
4571 4580 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4572 4581
4573 4582 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4574 4583 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4575 4584 Interactive.
4576 4585
4577 4586 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4578 4587 being imported from iplib.
4579 4588
4580 4589 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4581 4590 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4582 4591 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4583 4592 common name.
4584 4593
4585 4594 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4586 4595 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4587 4596
4588 4597 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4589 4598 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4590 4599
4591 4600 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4592 4601 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4593 4602 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4594 4603 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4595 4604 docstrings).
4596 4605
4597 4606 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4607
4599 4608 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4600 4609 (inconsistent with options).
4601 4610
4602 4611 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4603 4612 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4604 4613 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4605 4614 eps output.
4606 4615
4607 4616 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4608 4617
4609 4618 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4610 4619 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4611 4620 Pinard.
4612 4621
4613 4622 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4614 4623
4615 4624 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4616 4625 history file for new users.
4617 4626 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4618 4627 user running in the .ipython dir.
4619 4628 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4620 4629 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4621 4630 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4622 4631
4623 4632 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4624 4633 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4625 4634 consistently.
4626 4635
4627 4636 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4628 4637 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4629 4638 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4630 4639 libraries I don't have access to.
4631 4640
4632 4641 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4633 4642 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4634 4643 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4635 4644 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4636 4645 report.
4637 4646
4638 4647 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4639 4648
4640 4649 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4641 4650 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4642 4651 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4643 4652 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4644 4653
4645 4654 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4646 4655
4647 4656 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4648 4657 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4649 4658 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4650 4659 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4651 4660 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4652 4661 instance has been created.
4653 4662
4654 4663 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4655 4664 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4656 4665 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4657 4666 dict by hand.
4658 4667
4659 4668 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4660 4669
4661 4670 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4662 4671 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4663 4672 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4664 4673 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4665 4674 broken.
4666 4675
4667 4676 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4668 4677 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4669 4678 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4670 4679 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4671 4680
4672 4681 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4673 4682 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4674 4683 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4675 4684 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4676 4685 is a valid one.
4677 4686
4678 4687 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4679 4688 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4680 4689 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4681 4690
4682 4691 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4683 4692 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4684 4693 simply leftover junk.
4685 4694
4686 4695 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4687 4696
4688 4697 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4689 4698 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4690 4699 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4691 4700
4692 4701 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4693 4702 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4694 4703 exceptions.
4695 4704
4696 4705 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4697 4706
4698 4707 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4699 4708 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4700 4709 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4701 4710 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4702 4711 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4703 4712
4704 4713 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4705 4714 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4706 4715
4707 4716 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4708 4717 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4709 4718 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4710 4719 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4711 4720 problem mentioned below.
4712 4721
4713 4722 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4714 4723
4715 4724 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4716 4725 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4717 4726
4718 4727 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4719 4728 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4720 4729 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4721 4730 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4722 4731 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4723 4732
4724 4733 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4725 4734 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4726 4735 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4727 4736 actual function names.
4728 4737
4729 4738 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4730 4739 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4731 4740 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4732 4741 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4733 4742 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4734 4743 really be only function/method names.
4735 4744
4736 4745 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4737 4746
4738 4747 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4739 4748 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4740 4749 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4741 4750
4742 4751 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4752
4744 4753 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4745 4754 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4746 4755 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4747 4756
4748 4757 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4749 4758 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4750 4759
4751 4760 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4752 4761 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4753 4762 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4754 4763
4755 4764 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4756 4765 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4757 4766 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4758 4767
4759 4768 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4760 4769 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4761 4770 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4762 4771
4763 4772 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4764 4773
4765 4774 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4766 4775 Gnuplot.File objects.
4767 4776
4768 4777 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4769 4778
4770 4779 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4771 4780 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4772 4781 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4773 4782
4774 4783 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4775 4784
4776 4785 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4777 4786 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4778 4787
4779 4788 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4780 4789 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4781 4790
4782 4791 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4783 4792 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4784 4793
4785 4794 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4786 4795
4787 4796 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4788 4797 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4789 4798 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4790 4799 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4791 4800
4792 4801 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4793 4802
4794 4803 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4795 4804 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4796 4805 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4797 4806
4798 4807 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4799 4808
4800 4809 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4801 4810 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4802 4811 workaround).
4803 4812
4804 4813 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4805 4814
4806 4815 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4807 4816 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4808 4817
4809 4818 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4810 4819
4811 4820 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4812 4821 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4813 4822
4814 4823 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4815 4824 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4816 4825 .strip() is called on it.
4817 4826
4818 4827
4819 4828 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4820 4829
4821 4830 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4822 4831 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4823 4832 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4824 4833
4825 4834 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4826 4835 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4827 4836
4828 4837 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4829 4838 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4830 4839 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4831 4840
4832 4841 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4833 4842
4834 4843 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4835 4844 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4836 4845 __main__.
4837 4846
4838 4847 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4839 4848 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4840 4849
4841 4850 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4842 4851 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4843 4852 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4844 4853 Mathematica behaves.
4845 4854
4846 4855 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4847 4856
4848 4857 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4849 4858 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4850 4859
4851 4860 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4852 4861 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4853 4862 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4854 4863
4855 4864 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4856 4865 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4857 4866
4858 4867 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4859 4868
4860 4869 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4861 4870 underflow problems in Numeric.
4862 4871 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4863 4872 for exact integer powers of 2.
4864 4873
4865 4874 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4866 4875 properly.
4867 4876
4868 4877 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4869 4878
4870 4879 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4871 4880 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4872 4881
4873 4882 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4874 4883
4875 4884 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4876 4885 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4877 4886
4878 4887 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4879 4888
4880 4889 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4881 4890 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4882 4891 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4883 4892 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4884 4893 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4885 4894 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4886 4895 times).
4887 4896
4888 4897 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4889 4898 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4890 4899 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4891 4900
4892 4901 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4893 4902
4894 4903 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4895 4904 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4896 4905 embedded code.
4897 4906
4898 4907 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4899 4908 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4900 4909 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4901 4910
4902 4911 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4903 4912 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4904 4913 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4905 4914 less special-casing to remember.
4906 4915
4907 4916 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4908 4917
4909 4918 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4910 4919 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4911 4920 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4912 4921 arg is not a defined object.
4913 4922 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4914 4923 a Mike Heeter idea.
4915 4924
4916 4925 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4917 4926 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4918 4927 interactive use.
4919 4928
4920 4929 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4921 4930 filenames.
4922 4931
4923 4932 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4924 4933
4925 4934 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4926 4935 initialization via another struct.
4927 4936
4928 4937 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4929 4938 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4930 4939
4931 4940 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4932 4941
4933 4942 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4934 4943 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4935 4944 too big).
4936 4945
4937 4946 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4938 4947
4939 4948 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4940 4949 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4941 4950 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4942 4951 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4943 4952
4944 4953 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4945 4954
4946 4955 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4947 4956 macros having broken.
4948 4957
4949 4958 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4950 4959
4951 4960 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4952 4961 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4953 4962 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4954 4963 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4955 4964 not to lists.
4956 4965
4957 4966 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4958 4967
4959 4968 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4960 4969 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4961 4970 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4962 4971
4963 4972 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4964 4973 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4965 4974
4966 4975 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4967 4976 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4968 4977 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4969 4978
4970 4979 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4971 4980 triple-quoted strings.
4972 4981
4973 4982 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4974 4983 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4975 4984 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4976 4985 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4977 4986 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4978 4987 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4979 4988
4980 4989 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4990
4982 4991 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4983 4992 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4984 4993 ultraTB).
4985 4994
4986 4995 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4987 4996
4988 4997 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4989 4998 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4990 4999 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4991 5000 user's 'g' variables).
4992 5001
4993 5002 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4994 5003 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4995 5004 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4996 5005 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4997 5006 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4998 5007 macros.
4999 5008
5000 5009 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5001 5010
5002 5011 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5003 5012 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5004 5013
5005 5014 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5006 5015 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5007 5016 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5008 5017
5009 5018 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5019
5011 5020 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5012 5021 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5013 5022 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5014 5023 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5015 5024 aliases.
5016 5025
5017 5026 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5018 5027
5019 5028 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5020 5029 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5021 5030 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5022 5031 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5023 5032
5024 5033 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5025 5034
5026 5035 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5027 5036 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5028 5037 user-defined functions overrode them.
5029 5038
5030 5039 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5031 5040
5032 5041 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5033 5042 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5034 5043
5035 5044 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5036 5045
5037 5046 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5038 5047 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5039 5048 IPython.
5040 5049
5041 5050 * Released 0.2.13
5042 5051
5043 5052 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5044 5053 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5045 5054 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5046 5055 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5047 5056
5048 5057 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5049 5058
5050 5059 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5051 5060 magic properly formatted for screen.
5052 5061
5053 5062 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5054 5063 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5055 5064
5056 5065 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5057 5066 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5058 5067 etc.)
5059 5068
5060 5069 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5061 5070
5062 5071 * Released 0.2.12
5063 5072
5064 5073 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5065 5074
5066 5075 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5067 5076 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5068 5077 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5069 5078 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5070 5079 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5071 5080 an alias to @run -i.
5072 5081
5073 5082 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5074 5083 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5075 5084
5076 5085 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5077 5086
5078 5087 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5079 5088 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5080 5089 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5081 5090
5082 5091 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5083 5092 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5084 5093 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5085 5094 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5086 5095 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5087 5096 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5088 5097 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5089 5098
5090 5099 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5091 5100
5092 5101 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5093 5102 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5094 5103 printed).
5095 5104
5096 5105 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5097 5106 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5098 5107 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5099 5108
5100 5109 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5101 5110 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5102 5111
5103 5112 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5104 5113 handle magic commands in them.
5105 5114 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5106 5115 ~/mylog' now works.
5107 5116
5108 5117 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5109 5118 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5110 5119
5111 5120 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5112 5121
5113 5122 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5114 5123 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5115 5124
5116 5125 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5117 5126 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5118 5127 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5119 5128 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5120 5129 variables are in the context of an exception.
5121 5130 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5122 5131 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5123 5132
5124 5133 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5125 5134 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5126 5135
5127 5136 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5128 5137
5129 5138 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5130 5139 magics can parse options easier.
5131 5140 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5132 5141 suggested by Chris Hart.
5133 5142 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5134 5143 directory actually is in history.
5135 5144
5136 5145 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5137 5146 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5138 5147 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5139 5148
5140 5149 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5141 5150 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5142 5151 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5143 5152 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5144 5153
5145 5154 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5146 5155
5147 5156 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5148 5157 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5149 5158
5150 5159 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5151 5160 text (was a bug).
5152 5161
5153 5162 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5154 5163
5155 5164 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5156 5165 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5157 5166 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5158 5167
5159 5168 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5160 5169
5161 5170 * Released 0.2.10
5162 5171
5163 5172 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5164 5173
5165 5174 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5166 5175 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5167 5176
5168 5177 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5169 5178
5170 5179 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5171 5180 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5172 5181
5173 5182 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5174 5183
5175 5184 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5176 5185 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5177 5186 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5178 5187 __init__.py)
5179 5188
5180 5189 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5181 5190
5182 5191 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5183 5192 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5184 5193 test for being inside IPython.
5185 5194
5186 5195 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5187 5196 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5188 5197 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5189 5198 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5190 5199
5191 5200 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5192 5201
5193 5202 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5194 5203 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5195 5204 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5196 5205
5197 5206 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5198 5207 embedding example to standard user directory for
5199 5208 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5200 5209
5201 5210 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5202 5211 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5203 5212 hidden global).
5204 5213
5205 5214 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5206 5215 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5207 5216 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5208 5217 case.
5209 5218
5210 5219 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5211 5220
5212 5221 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5213 5222 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5214 5223 start.
5215 5224
5216 5225 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5217 5226 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5218 5227 Numeric or math.
5219 5228
5220 5229 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5221 5230 provided profiles. Now we have:
5222 5231 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5223 5232 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5224 5233 -physics -> same as before
5225 5234
5226 5235 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5227 5236 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5228 5237 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5229 5238 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5230 5239 string adds).
5231 5240
5232 5241 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5233 5242 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5234 5243 line with the gnuplot code).
5235 5244
5236 5245 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5237 5246
5238 5247 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5239 5248 all included files change.
5240 5249
5241 5250 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5242 5251 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5243 5252
5244 5253 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5245 5254 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5246 5255 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5247 5256
5248 5257 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5249 5258 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5250 5259
5251 5260 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5252 5261 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5253 5262
5254 5263 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5255 5264 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5256 5265 now accessible.
5257 5266
5258 5267 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5259 5268 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5260 5269 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5261 5270 removed.
5262 5271 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5263 5272 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5264 5273 don't crash.
5265 5274 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5266 5275 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5267 5276 remains available.
5268 5277
5269 5278 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5270 5279
5271 5280 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5272 5281
5273 5282 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5274 5283
5275 5284 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5276 5285 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5277 5286 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5278 5287 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5279 5288
5280 5289 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5281 5290
5282 5291 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5283 5292 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5284 5293 sync with the output counter.
5285 5294
5286 5295 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5287 5296 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5288 5297
5289 5298 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5299
5291 5300 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5292 5301 readline, fix it back after each call.
5293 5302
5294 5303 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5295 5304 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5296 5305 traceback references are properly deleted.
5297 5306
5298 5307 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5299 5308 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5300 5309
5301 5310 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5302 5311
5303 5312 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5304 5313 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5305 5314 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5306 5315 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5307 5316 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5308 5317 to catch SystemExit).
5309 5318
5310 5319 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5311 5320 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5312 5321 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5313 5322 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5314 5323 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5315 5324 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5316 5325
5317 5326 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5318 5327
5319 5328 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5320 5329 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5321 5330 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5322 5331
5323 5332 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5324 5333 configurable (it should have always been so).
5325 5334
5326 5335 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5336
5328 5337 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5329 5338 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5330 5339 done in a more elegant way.
5331 5340
5332 5341 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5333 5342
5334 5343 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5335 5344 win9x also.
5336 5345
5337 5346 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5338 5347
5339 5348 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5340 5349 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5341 5350
5342 5351 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5343 5352
5344 5353 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5345 5354
5346 5355 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5347 5356 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5348 5357
5349 5358 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5350 5359 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5351 5360
5352 5361 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5353 5362 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5354 5363
5355 5364 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5356 5365 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5357 5366
5358 5367 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5359 5368
5360 5369 * Released 0.2.8
5361 5370
5362 5371 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5363 5372 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5364 5373 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5365 5374 on' so that the first tab completes.
5366 5375 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5367 5376 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5368 5377
5369 5378 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5370 5379 installation.
5371 5380
5372 5381 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5373 5382 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5374 5383
5375 5384 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5376 5385
5377 5386 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5378 5387 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5379 5388 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5380 5389
5381 5390 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5382 5391 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5383 5392
5384 5393 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5385 5394 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5386 5395 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5387 5396 suggestion.
5388 5397
5389 5398 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5390 5399 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5391 5400 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5392 5401
5393 5402 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5394 5403 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5395 5404
5396 5405 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5397 5406
5398 5407 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5399 5408 which properly handles things for windows users.
5400 5409
5401 5410 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5402 5411
5403 5412 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5404 5413 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5405 5414 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5406 5415 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5407 5416 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5408 5417
5409 5418 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5410 5419
5411 5420 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5412 5421
5413 5422 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5414 5423 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5415 5424
5416 5425 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5417 5426
5418 5427 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5419 5428 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5420 5429 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5421 5430 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5422 5431 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5423 5432 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5424 5433
5425 5434 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5426 5435
5427 5436 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5428 5437 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5429 5438
5430 5439 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5431 5440 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5432 5441 cache at 20 values.
5433 5442
5434 5443 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5435 5444 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5436 5445 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5437 5446 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5438 5447
5439 5448 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5440 5449 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5441 5450 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5442 5451 'file show').
5443 5452
5444 5453 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5445 5454 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5446 5455
5447 5456 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5448 5457 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5449 5458 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5450 5459
5451 5460 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5452 5461 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5453 5462 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5454 5463 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5455 5464
5456 5465 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5457 5466 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5458 5467 the prompt strings.
5459 5468
5460 5469 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5461 5470
5462 5471 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5463 5472 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5464 5473
5465 5474 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5466 5475 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5467 5476 either globally or at each call.
5468 5477
5469 5478 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5470 5479 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5471 5480 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5472 5481 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5473 5482
5474 5483 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5475 5484
5476 5485 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5477 5486 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5478 5487
5479 5488 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5480 5489
5481 5490 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5482 5491 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5483 5492 learning some lisp...
5484 5493
5485 5494 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5486 5495
5487 5496 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5488 5497 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5489 5498 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5490 5499 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5491 5500
5492 5501 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5493 5502 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5494 5503 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5495 5504
5496 5505 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5497 5506
5498 5507 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5499 5508 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5500 5509 control to emacs users.
5501 5510
5502 5511 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5503 5512 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5504 5513 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5505 5514 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5506 5515 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5507 5516 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5508 5517
5509 5518 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5510 5519
5511 5520 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5512 5521
5513 5522 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5514 5523 @logstate magic was created.
5515 5524
5516 5525 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5517 5526 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5518 5527
5519 5528 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5520 5529
5521 5530 * Released 0.2.6.
5522 5531
5523 5532 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5524 5533 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5525 5534
5526 5535 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5527 5536 SciPy.
5528 5537
5529 5538 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5530 5539 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5531 5540 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5532 5541 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5533 5542 the section on embedding and the example file.
5534 5543
5535 5544 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5536 5545 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5537 5546 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5538 5547
5539 5548 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5540 5549 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5541 5550 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5542 5551
5543 5552 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5544 5553 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5545 5554 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5546 5555 for this to work.
5547 5556
5548 5557 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5549 5558
5550 5559 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5551 5560 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5552 5561 well inside Emacs buffers.
5553 5562 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5554 5563 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5555 5564 same bug in iplib.
5556 5565
5557 5566 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5558 5567
5559 5568 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5560 5569 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5561 5570
5562 5571 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5563 5572 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5564 5573 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5565 5574
5566 5575 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5567 5576 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5568 5577 display is done.
5569 5578
5570 5579 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5571 5580 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5572 5581
5573 5582 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5574 5583 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5575 5584 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5576 5585 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5577 5586 like in Octave.
5578 5587
5579 5588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5580 5589 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5581 5590
5582 5591 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5583 5592
5584 5593 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5585 5594 whole file a little.
5586 5595
5587 5596 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5588 5597 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5589 5598 end-user distro.
5590 5599
5591 5600 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5592 5601 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5593 5602 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5594 5603
5595 5604 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5596 5605 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5597 5606
5598 5607 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5599 5608 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5600 5609 for @file.
5601 5610
5602 5611 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5603 5612 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5604 5613 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5605 5614 the code a bit easier.
5606 5615
5607 5616 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5608 5617 information to crash reports.
5609 5618
5610 5619 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5611 5620
5612 5621 * Released 0.2.5.
5613 5622
5614 5623 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5615 5624
5616 5625 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5617 5626 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5618 5627 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5619 5628
5620 5629 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5621 5630
5622 5631 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5623 5632 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5624 5633 have thigs work as expected.
5625 5634
5626 5635 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5627 5636 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5628 5637 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5629 5638 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5630 5639 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5631 5640
5632 5641 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5633 5642 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5634 5643
5635 5644 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5636 5645
5637 5646 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5638 5647 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5639 5648
5640 5649 * README and manual updates.
5641 5650
5642 5651 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5643 5652 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5644 5653
5645 5654 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5646 5655 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5647 5656
5648 5657 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5649 5658 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5650 5659 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5651 5660 extension-less files.
5652 5661
5653 5662 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5654 5663 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5655 5664 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5656 5665
5657 5666 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5658 5667 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5659 5668
5660 5669 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5661 5670 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5662 5671 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5663 5672 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5664 5673 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5665 5674 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5666 5675 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5667 5676 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5668 5677 least make manually a shortcut.
5669 5678
5670 5679 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5671 5680 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5672 5681 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5673 5682 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5674 5683 runtime, with @colors.
5675 5684 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5676 5685 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5677 5686
5678 5687 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5679 5688
5680 5689 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5681 5690 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5682 5691 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5683 5692 read the startup info.
5684 5693
5685 5694 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5686 5695
5687 5696 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5688 5697 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5689 5698 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5690 5699 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5691 5700 type the better off we are.
5692 5701 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5693 5702 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5694 5703 before.
5695 5704
5696 5705 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5697 5706
5698 5707 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5699 5708 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5700 5709 this later.
5701 5710
5702 5711 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5703 5712
5704 5713 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5705 5714 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5706 5715 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5707 5716
5708 5717 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5709 5718
5710 5719 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5711 5720 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5712 5721 spitting out only offset information as before.
5713 5722 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5714 5723 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5715 5724
5716 5725 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5717 5726
5718 5727 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5719 5728 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5720 5729 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5721 5730 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5722 5731 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5723 5732 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5724 5733 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5725 5734 macros.
5726 5735
5727 5736 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5728 5737
5729 5738 * Released 0.2.4.
5730 5739
5731 5740 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5732 5741 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5733 5742 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5734 5743 re-execution.
5735 5744
5736 5745 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5737 5746
5738 5747 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5739 5748 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5740 5749 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5741 5750 documented, of course :)
5742 5751 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5743 5752 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5744 5753 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5745 5754
5746 5755 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5747 5756
5748 5757 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5749 5758 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5750 5759 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5751 5760
5752 5761 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5753 5762
5754 5763 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5755 5764 so I wanted an updated release).
5756 5765
5757 5766 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5758 5767
5759 5768 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5760 5769 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5761 5770 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5762 5771 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5763 5772 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5764 5773
5765 5774 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5766 5775
5767 5776 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5768 5777 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5769 5778
5770 5779 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5771 5780
5772 5781 * Released 0.2.2.
5773 5782
5774 5783 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5775 5784 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5776 5785 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5777 5786 versions.
5778 5787
5779 5788 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5780 5789 (MayaVi author).
5781 5790
5782 5791 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5783 5792
5784 5793 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5785 5794 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5786 5795 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5787 5796 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5788 5797 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5789 5798
5790 5799 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5791 5800 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5792 5801
5793 5802 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5794 5803
5795 5804 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5796 5805 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5797 5806 nice, full-blown manual.
5798 5807
5799 5808 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5800 5809 trivially simple for end-users.
5801 5810
5802 5811 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5803 5812
5804 5813 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5805 5814 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5806 5815
5807 5816 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5808 5817 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5809 5818
5810 5819 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5811 5820
5812 5821 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5813 5822 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5814 5823 people to later upgrade versions.
5815 5824
5816 5825 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5817 5826 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5818 5827 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5819 5828 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5820 5829 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5821 5830 SystemExit).
5822 5831
5823 5832 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5824 5833 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5825 5834 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5826 5835 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5827 5836 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5828 5837
5829 5838 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5830 5839 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5831 5840 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5832 5841
5833 5842 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5834 5843
5835 5844 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5836 5845 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5837 5846
5838 5847 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5839 5848 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5840 5849 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5841 5850 html docs out of it will be found).
5842 5851
5843 5852 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5844 5853
5845 5854 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5846 5855 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5847 5856
5848 5857 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5849 5858
5850 5859 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5851 5860 visiting any directory in _dh.
5852 5861
5853 5862 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5854 5863 it out with numbers.
5855 5864
5856 5865 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5857 5866
5858 5867 * Released 0.1.22
5859 5868
5860 5869 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5861 5870 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5862 5871
5863 5872 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5864 5873 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5865 5874 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5866 5875 screen the necessary mail command.
5867 5876
5868 5877 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5869 5878 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5870 5879 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5871 5880
5872 5881 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5873 5882
5874 5883 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5875 5884 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5876 5885 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5877 5886 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5878 5887 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5879 5888 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5880 5889 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5881 5890 its name).
5882 5891
5883 5892 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5884 5893 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5885 5894 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5886 5895 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5887 5896
5888 5897 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5889 5898
5890 5899 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5891 5900 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5892 5901
5893 5902 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5894 5903 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5895 5904
5896 5905 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5897 5906 completion of @-starting lines.
5898 5907
5899 5908 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5900 5909 info that other files can read from.
5901 5910
5902 5911 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5903 5912 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5904 5913 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5905 5914 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5906 5915 restores produce less errors.
5907 5916
5908 5917 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5909 5918 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5910 5919 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5911 5920 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5912 5921 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5913 5922
5914 5923 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5915 5924 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5916 5925 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5917 5926 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5918 5927 with this, finally...
5919 5928
5920 5929 * Small documentation updates.
5921 5930
5922 5931 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5923 5932 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5924 5933 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5925 5934
5926 5935 * File renaming:
5927 5936 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5928 5937 ipplib --> iplib
5929 5938 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5930 5939
5931 5940 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5932 5941 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5933 5942 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5934 5943
5935 5944 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5936 5945 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5937 5946 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5938 5947
5939 5948 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5940 5949
5941 5950 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5942 5951 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5943 5952 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5944 5953 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5945 5954
5946 5955 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5947 5956 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5948 5957 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5949 5958
5950 5959 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5951 5960 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5952 5961 road.
5953 5962
5954 5963 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5955 5964 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5956 5965 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5957 5966 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5958 5967
5959 5968 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5960 5969
5961 5970 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5962 5971 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5963 5972 file accordingly.
5964 5973
5965 5974 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5966 5975 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5967 5976 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5968 5977 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5969 5978 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5970 5979 separators and proper padding and justification.
5971 5980
5972 5981 * Released 0.1.20
5973 5982
5974 5983 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5975 5984 copy operation was missing).
5976 5985
5977 5986 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5978 5987 its output is always quite long.
5979 5988
5980 5989 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5981 5990 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5982 5991 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5983 5992 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5984 5993
5985 5994 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5986 5995 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5987 5996 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5988 5997 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5989 5998
5990 5999 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5991 6000
5992 6001 * Released 0.1.19
5993 6002
5994 6003 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5995 6004 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5996 6005
5997 6006 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5998 6007 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5999 6008 comment on 'macros').
6000 6009
6001 6010 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6002 6011
6003 6012 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6004 6013 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6005 6014 statements and takes parameters.
6006 6015
6007 6016 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6008 6017
6009 6018 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6010 6019
6011 6020 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6012 6021
6013 6022 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6014 6023 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6015 6024
6016 6025 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6017 6026 ipythonrc-* samples.
6018 6027
6019 6028 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6020 6029 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6021 6030
6022 6031 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6023 6032 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6024 6033
6025 6034 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6026 6035
6027 6036 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6028 6037 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6029 6038 convention.
6030 6039
6031 6040 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6032 6041 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6033 6042
6034 6043 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6035 6044
6036 6045 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6037 6046 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6038 6047
6039 6048 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6040 6049 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6041 6050 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6042 6051 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6043 6052 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6044 6053 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6045 6054 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6046 6055 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6047 6056 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6048 6057 works.
6049 6058
6050 6059 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6051 6060
6052 6061 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6053 6062 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6054 6063 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6055 6064 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6056 6065 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6057 6066 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6058 6067 all the editors, less does that.
6059 6068
6060 6069 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6061 6070
6062 6071 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6063 6072 crash IPython.
6064 6073
6065 6074 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6066 6075
6067 6076 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6068 6077
6069 6078 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6070 6079 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6071 6080 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6072 6081 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6073 6082 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6074 6083 work in _ofind.
6075 6084
6076 6085 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6077 6086 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6078 6087 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6079 6088 (famous last words).
6080 6089
6081 6090 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6082 6091 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6083 6092 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6084 6093 windows).
6085 6094
6086 6095 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6087 6096 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6088 6097
6089 6098 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6090 6099 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6091 6100 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6092 6101 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6093 6102
6094 6103 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6095 6104 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6096 6105 licences and announce it.
6097 6106
6098 6107 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6099 6108 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6100 6109 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6101 6110 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6102 6111
6103 6112 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6104 6113
6105 6114 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6106 6115 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6107 6116 lists.
6108 6117
6109 6118 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6110 6119 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6111 6120 are ok.
6112 6121
6113 6122 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6114 6123 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6115 6124
6116 6125 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6117 6126 this to Nathan.
6118 6127
6119 6128 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6120 6129
6121 6130 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6122 6131 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6123 6132 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6124 6133
6125 6134 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6126 6135 accepted). Cleaner.
6127 6136
6128 6137 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6129 6138 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6130 6139 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6131 6140 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6132 6141 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6133 6142
6134 6143 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6135 6144
6136 6145 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6137 6146 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6138 6147 history after a log replay.
6139 6148
6140 6149 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6141 6150 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6142 6151 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6143 6152 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6144 6153 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6145 6154 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6146 6155
6147 6156 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6148 6157 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6149 6158 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6150 6159 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6151 6160 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6152 6161
6153 6162 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6154 6163
6155 6164 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6156 6165 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6157 6166 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6158 6167 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6159 6168 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6160 6169 one: cache_size.
6161 6170
6162 6171 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6163 6172 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6164 6173 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6165 6174 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6166 6175
6167 6176 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6168 6177 @ or not).
6169 6178
6170 6179 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6171 6180 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6172 6181 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6173 6182 about licensing).
6174 6183
6175 6184 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6176 6185
6177 6186 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6178 6187 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6179 6188
6180 6189 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6181 6190 screen size for page() operations.
6182 6191
6183 6192 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6184 6193 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6185 6194 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6186 6195 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6187 6196
6188 6197 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6189 6198 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6190 6199 option name tables are clearer.
6191 6200
6192 6201 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6193 6202 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6194 6203 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6195 6204 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6196 6205 was also changed a little to align better.
6197 6206
6198 6207 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6199 6208 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6200 6209
6201 6210 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6202 6211 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6203 6212 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6204 6213
6205 6214 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6206 6215 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6207 6216 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6208 6217 he needs it.
6209 6218
6210 6219 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6211 6220
6212 6221 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6213 6222 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6214 6223 warning on it.
6215 6224
6216 6225 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6217 6226 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6218 6227 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6219 6228 was too long).
6220 6229
6221 6230 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6222 6231 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6223 6232 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6224 6233
6225 6234 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6226 6235 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6227 6236 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6228 6237 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6229 6238 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6230 6239 function for the same task.
6231 6240
6232 6241 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6233 6242
6234 6243 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6235 6244
6236 6245 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6237 6246 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6238 6247 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6239 6248
6240 6249 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6241 6250 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6242 6251 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6243 6252
6244 6253 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6245 6254 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6246 6255 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6247 6256
6248 6257 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6249 6258
6250 6259 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6251 6260
6252 6261 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6253 6262 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6254 6263 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6255 6264
6256 6265 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6257 6266
6258 6267 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6259 6268
6260 6269 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6261 6270
6262 6271 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6263 6272 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6264 6273 maintain.
6265 6274
6266 6275 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6267 6276 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6268 6277 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6269 6278 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6270 6279 compiled and startup is much faster.
6271 6280
6272 6281 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6273 6282 while without messing too much more with the code.
6274 6283
6275 6284 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6276 6285
6277 6286 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6278 6287
6279 6288 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6280 6289 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6281 6290 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6282 6291
6283 6292 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6284 6293 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6285 6294
6286 6295 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6287 6296 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6288 6297 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6289 6298 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6290 6299 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6291 6300 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6292 6301
6293 6302 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6294 6303 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6295 6304
6296 6305 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6297 6306 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6298 6307
6299 6308 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6300 6309 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6301 6310 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6302 6311 excessive.
6303 6312
6304 6313 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6305 6314 types (only first word was displayed).
6306 6315
6307 6316 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6308 6317
6309 6318 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6310 6319
6311 6320 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6312 6321 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6313 6322 travel along many directories.
6314 6323
6315 6324 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6316 6325 arguments with default values.
6317 6326
6318 6327 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6319 6328
6320 6329 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6321 6330 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6322 6331
6323 6332 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6324 6333
6325 6334 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6326 6335 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6327 6336 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6328 6337
6329 6338 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6330 6339
6331 6340 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6332 6341 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6333 6342 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6334 6343 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6335 6344 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6336 6345 purposes.
6337 6346
6338 6347 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6339 6348 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6340 6349 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6341 6350 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6342 6351 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6343 6352 one can simply say
6344 6353 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6345 6354 or even
6346 6355 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6347 6356
6348 6357 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6349 6358 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6350 6359 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6351 6360
6352 6361 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6353 6362 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6354 6363 they were defined in
6355 6364
6356 6365 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6357 6366
6358 6367 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6359 6368 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6360 6369 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6361 6370 these to show the same information.
6362 6371
6363 6372 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6364 6373
6365 6374 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6366 6375 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6367 6376 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6368 6377 backtracked on the whole class!)
6369 6378
6370 6379 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6371 6380 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6372 6381 everything works as before).
6373 6382
6374 6383 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6375 6384 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6376 6385 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6377 6386 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6378 6387
6379 6388 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6380 6389
6381 6390 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6382 6391
6383 6392 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6384 6393 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6385 6394
6386 6395 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6387 6396 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6388 6397 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6389 6398 this later.
6390 6399
6391 6400 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6392 6401
6393 6402 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6394 6403 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6395 6404 line option.
6396 6405
6397 6406 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6398 6407 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6399 6408 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6400 6409 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6401 6410 didn't return a result).
6402 6411
6403 6412 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6404 6413
6405 6414 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6406 6415
6407 6416 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6408 6417 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6409 6418 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6410 6419 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6411 6420
6412 6421 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6413 6422
6414 6423 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6415 6424
6416 6425 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6417 6426 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6418 6427
6419 6428 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6420 6429 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6421 6430 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6422 6431 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6423 6432 in with the next entry:
6424 6433
6425 6434 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6426 6435 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6427 6436 handling.
6428 6437
6429 6438 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6430 6439 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6431 6440 namespace protection and documentation.
6432 6441
6433 6442 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6434 6443
6435 6444 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6436 6445 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6437 6446
6438 6447 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6439 6448
6440 6449 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6441 6450
6442 6451 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6443 6452
6444 6453 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6445 6454 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6446 6455 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6447 6456 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6448 6457 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6449 6458
6450 6459 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6451 6460 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6452 6461 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6453 6462
6454 6463 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6455 6464
6456 6465 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6457 6466 work with non-gnu versions of tar.

6459 6468 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6460 6469
6461 6470 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6462 6471
6463 6472 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6464 6473 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6465 6474 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6466 6475 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6467 6476 ScientificPython.
6468 6477
6469 6478 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6470 6479
6471 6480 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6472 6481 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6473 6482 when called with no args.
6474 6483
6475 6484 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6476 6485 closely.
6477 6486
6478 6487 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6479 6488 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6480 6489 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6481 6490 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6482 6491 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6483 6492
6484 6493 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6485 6494
6486 6495 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6487 6496 customizations there and access them via import.
6488 6497
6489 6498 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6490 6499
6491 6500 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6492 6501
6493 6502 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6494 6503 Nathan and Janko.
6495 6504
6496 6505 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6497 6506
6498 6507 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6499 6508 too long.
6500 6509
6501 6510 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6502 6511
6503 6512 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6504 6513 ?sin and sin?
6505 6514 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6506 6515 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6507 6516 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6508 6517 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6509 6518
6510 6519 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6511 6520
6512 6521 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6513 6522
6514 6523 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6515 6524 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6516 6525
6517 6526 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6518 6527 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6519 6528 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6520 6529 me).
6521 6530
6522 6531 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6523 6532 protected (reasonably).
6524 6533
6525 6534 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6526 6535 note through it (it was too long).
6527 6536
6528 6537 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6529 6538 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6530 6539 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6531 6540 parameters.
6532 6541
6533 6542
6534 6543 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6535 6544
6536 6545 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6537 6546 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6538 6547 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6539 6548
6540 6549 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6541 6550 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6542 6551 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6543 6552
6544 6553 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6545 6554
6546 6555 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6547 6556
6548 6557 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6549 6558
6550 6559 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6551 6560 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6552 6561 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6553 6562 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6554 6563 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6555 6564 break.
6556 6565
6557 6566 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6558 6567 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6559 6568 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6560 6569 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6561 6570 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6562 6571 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6563 6572
6564 6573 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6565 6574 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6566 6575 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6567 6576 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6568 6577 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6569 6578 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6570 6579 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6571 6580 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6572 6581 trick.
6573 6582
6574 6583 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6575 6584 session restoring.
6576 6585
6577 6586 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6578 6587 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6579 6588 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6580 6589 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6581 6590 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6582 6591
6583 6592 * Started ChangeLog.
