11 14 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
12 15 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
13 16 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
14 17
15 18 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
16 19 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
17 20
18 21 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
19 22 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.

34 37 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
35 38 call was missing in if statement. Caused shlex_split to
36 39 sometimes return "" as last element.

38 41 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
39 42
40 43 * IPython/completer.py
41 44 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
42 45 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
43 46 would be completed too early.
44 47
45 48 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
46 49 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
47 50 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
48 51 backwards compatibility.
49 52
50 53 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
51 54 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
52 55 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
53 56 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
54 57 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
55 58 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
56 59 also works when debugging.

58 61 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
59 62 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
60 63
61 64 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by

64 67
65 68 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
66 69 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
67 70 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.

72 75 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
73 76
74 77 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
75 78 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
76 79 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
77 80
78 81 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
79 82
80 83 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
81 84 to be installed alongside igrid.
82 85 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
83 86 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
84 87 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
85 88
86 89 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
87 90
88 91 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
89 92 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
90 93 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
91 94
92 95 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
93 96
94 97 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
95 98 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
96 99
97 100 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
98 101 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
99 102
100 103 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
101 104
102 105 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
103 106 as the default browser.
104 107 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
105 108 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
106 109 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
107 110 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
108 111
109 112 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
110 113
111 114 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
112 115 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
113 116 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
114 117
115 118 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
116 119
117 120 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
118 121 Close help window if exiting igrid.
119 122
120 123 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
121 124
122 125 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
123 126 before calling functions from readline.
124 127
125 128 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
126 129
127 130 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
128 131 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
129 132 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
130 133 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
131 134 falls back to idump.
132 135
133 136 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
134 137
135 138 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
136 139 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
137 140 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
138 141 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
139 142
140 143 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
141 144
142 145 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
143 146 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
144 147 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
145 148 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
146 149 %magic with explicit % prefix.
147 150
148 151 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
149 152
150 153 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
151 154 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
152 155
153 156 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
154 157
155 158 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
156 159 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
157 160 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
158 161 one wants those instead.
159 162
160 163 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
161 164 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
162 165 instead.
163 166
164 167 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
165 168
166 169 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
167 170 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
168 171 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
169 172 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
170 173
171 174 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
172 175
173 176 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
174 177 stop marks.
175 178 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
176 179 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
177 180 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
178 181
179 182 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
180 183
181 184 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
182 185 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
183 186 sumbmitted to upstream.
184 187
185 188 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
186 189
187 190 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
188 191 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
189 192 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
190 193 running into an empty levels list later.
191 194
192 195 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
193 196
194 197 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
195 198 for the noitem object.
196 199
197 200 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
198 201
199 202 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
200 203 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
201 204 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
202 205 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
203 206
204 207 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
205 208
206 209 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
207 210 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
208 211 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
209 212 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
210 213 filenames.
211 214
212 215 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
213 216 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
214 217 out-of-process ipython code.
215 218
216 219 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
217 220 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
218 221 doctesting.
219 222
220 223 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
221 224
222 225 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
223 226
224 227 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
225 228 not being correctly recognized.
226 229
227 230 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
228 231
229 232 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
230 233 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
231 234 only item.
232 235
233 236 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
234 237 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
235 238 infinite recursion for one line strings).
236 239
237 240 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
238 241
239 242 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
240 243 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
241 244 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
242 245
243 246 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
244 247
245 248 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
246 249 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
247 250 "%env VISUAL=jed".
248 251
249 252 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
250 253
251 254 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
252 255 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
253 256 but I'm not exactly sure why).
254 257
255 258 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
256 259 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
257 260
258 261 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
259 262
260 263 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
261 264 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
262 265
263 266 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
264 267 the time during IPython startup is spent.
265 268
266 269 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
267 270
268 271 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
269 272
270 273 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
271 274
272 275 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
273 276
274 277 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
275 278
276 279 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
277 280 to work properly on posix too
278 281
279 282 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
280 283
281 284 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
282 285
283 286 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
284 287 prefix + "/scripts".
285 288
286 289 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
287 290
288 291 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
289 292
290 293 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
291 294 if they already exist
292 295
293 296 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
294 297
295 298 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
296 299
297 300 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
298 301
299 302 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
300 303
301 304 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
302 305 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
303 306 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
304 307
305 308 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
306 309
307 310 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
308 311 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
309 312 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
310 313
311 314 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
312 315 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
313 316 in ipy_user_conf.py
314 317
315 318
316 319 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
317 320 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
318 321 as IPython script.
319 322
320 323 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
321 324
322 325 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
323 326
324 327 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
325 328 is called before any exception has occurred.
326 329
327 330 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
328 331
329 332 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
330 333 to translate /'s to \'s again.
331 334
332 335 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
333 336 backslash.
334 337
335 338 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
336 339
337 340 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
338 341
339 342 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
340 343 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
341 344 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
342 345
343 346 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
344 347 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
345 348
346 349 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
347 350 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
348 351
349 352 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
350 353
351 354 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
352 355
353 356 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
354 357 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
355 358
356 359 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
357 360 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
358 361 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
359 362 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
360 363 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
361 364 mapped to "%" now.
362 365 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
363 366
364 367 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
365 368
366 369 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
367 370 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
368 371 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
369 372 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
370 373
371 374 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
372 375
373 376 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
374 377 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
375 378 for shell escapes.
376 379
377 380 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
378 381
379 382 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
380 383 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
381 384 vcs_completer.
382 385
383 386 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
384 387
385 388 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
386 389 directly instead!
387 390
388 391 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
389 392
390 393 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
391 394 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
392 395
393 396 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
394 397 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
395 398 explicit.
396 399
397 400 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
398 401 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
399 402
400 403 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
401 404
402 405 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
403 406
404 407 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
405 408 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
406 409 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
407 410 implementation for Text is useless.
408 411
409 412 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
410 413
411 414 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
412 415
413 416 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
414 417
415 418 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
416 419 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
417 420 "profile"
418 421
419 422 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
420 423
421 424 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
422 425 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
423 426
424 427 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
425 428 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
426 429
427 430
428 431 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
429 432 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
430 433 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
431 434
432 435 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
433 436
434 437 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
435 438 with one from UserConfig.
436 439
437 440 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
438 441 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
439 442
440 443 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
441 444 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
442 445 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
443 446
444 447 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
445 448
446 449 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
447 450
448 451 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
449 452
450 453 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
451 454
452 455 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
453 456
454 457 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
455 458
456 459 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
457 460
458 461 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
459 462
460 463 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
461 464 by eval of expr with dots.
462 465
463 466 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
464 467
465 468 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
466 469 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
467 470 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
468 471 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
469 472 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
470 473 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
471 474
472 475 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
473 476
474 477 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
475 478 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
476 479 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
477 480
478 481 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
479 482 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
480 483 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
481 484 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
482 485 funtionality in ipconfig.
483 486
484 487 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
485 488 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
486 489 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
487 490 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
488 491
489 492 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
490 493
491 494 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
492 495 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
493 496 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
494 497 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
495 498 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
496 499 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
497 500 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
498 501 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
499 502 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
500 503 descriptors.
501 504
502 505 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
503 506 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
504 507
505 508 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
506 509 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
507 510
508 511 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
509 512
510 513 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
511 514
512 515 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
513 516
514 517 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
515 518 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
516 519 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
517 520
518 521 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
519 522 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
520 523 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
521 524
522 525 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
523 526 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
524 527 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
525 528 ipy_stock_completers.
526 529
527 530 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
528 531
529 532 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
530 533
531 534 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
532 535 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
533 536 when filtering possible completions.
534 537
535 538 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
536 539
537 540 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
538 541 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
539 542 function
540 543
541 544
542 545 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
543 546
544 547 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
545 548 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
546 549 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
547 550 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
548 551 SVN completer.
549 552
550 553 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
551 554 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
552 555 name is %led.
553 556
554 557 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
555 558
556 559 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
557 560 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
558 561 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
559 562
560 563 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
561 564 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
562 565 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
563 566 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
564 567 hook name is 'complete_command'.
565 568
566 569 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
567 570
568 571 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
569 572 Numeric leftovers.
570 573
571 574 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
572 575 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
573 576
574 577 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
575 578 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
576 579
577 580 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
578 581 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
579 582
580 583 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
581 584 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
582 585 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
583 586
584 587 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 588
586 589 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
587 590 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
588 591 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
589 592
590 593 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
591 594 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
592 595
593 596 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
594 597
595 598 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
596 599 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
597 600 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
598 601
599 602 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
600 603
601 604 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
602 605 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
603 606 internal crash handler.
604 607
605 608 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
606 609 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
607 610 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
608 611 at the request of SAGE.
609 612
610 613 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
611 614
612 615 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
613 616 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
614 617
615 618 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
616 619 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
617 620 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
618 621 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
619 622
620 623 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
621 624 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
622 625 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
623 626
624 627 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
625 628
626 629 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
627 630 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
628 631 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
629 632
630 633 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
631 634 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
632 635
633 636 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
634 637
635 638 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
636 639 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
637 640 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
638 641 Stefan.
639 642
640 643 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
641 644
642 645 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
643 646 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
644 647 sys.stdout.close().
645 648
646 649 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
647 650
648 651 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
649 652 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
650 653 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
651 654 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
652 655
653 656 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
654 657 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
655 658 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
656 659
657 660 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
658 661 2.5.
659 662
660 663 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
661 664 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
662 665 interactively.
663 666
664 667 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
665 668
666 669 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
667 670 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
668 671
669 672 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
670 673
671 674 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
672 675 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
673 676 or only files.
674 677
675 678 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
676 679
677 680 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
678 681 they broke unittest
679 682
680 683 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
681 684
682 685 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
683 686 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
684 687 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
685 688 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
686 689
687 690 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
688 691
689 692 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
690 693 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
691 694 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
692 695 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
693 696 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
694 697
695 698 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
696 699
697 700 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
698 701 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
699 702
700 703 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
701 704
702 705 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
703 706 the mode argument).
704 707
705 708 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
706 709
707 710 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
708 711 not running under IPython.
709 712
710 713 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
711 714 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
712 715 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
713 716 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
714 717 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
715 718 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
716 719 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
717 720 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
718 721 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
719 722 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
720 723 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
721 724 are still supported.
722 725
723 726 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
724 727 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
725 728 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
726 729 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
727 730
728 731 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
729 732 encoding into methods.
730 733
731 734 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
732 735
733 736 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
734 737 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
735 738
736 739 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
737 740
738 741 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
739 742 non existing attributes.
740 743
741 744 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
742 745
743 746 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
744 747 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
745 748
746 749 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
747 750
748 751 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
749 752 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
750 753
751 754 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
752 755
753 756 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
754 757 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
755 758 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
756 759
757 760 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
758 761
759 762 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
760 763 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
761 764 Stefan van der Walt.
762 765
763 766 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
764 767
765 768 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
766 769 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
767 770
768 771 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
769 772
770 773 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
771 774 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
772 775 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
773 776
774 777 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
775 778
776 779 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
777 780 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
778 781 attributes.
779 782
780 783 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
781 784
782 785 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
783 786 commands into the methods implementing them.
784 787
785 788 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
786 789
787 790 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
788 791 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
789 792 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
790 793
791 794 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
792 795
793 796 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
794 797 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
795 798
796 799 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
797 800
798 801 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
799 802 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
800 803
801 804 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
802 805
803 806 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
804 807 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
805 808 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
806 809 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
807 810 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
808 811 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
809 812 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
810 813 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
811 814 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
812 815 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
813 816 the x key to "delete".
814 817
815 818 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
816 819
817 820 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
818 821 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
819 822 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
820 823 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
821 824
822 825 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
823 826 prompt
824 827
825 828 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
826 829
827 830 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
828 831
829 832 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
830 833 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
831 834 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
832 835 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
833 836
834 837 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
835 838
836 839 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
837 840 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
838 841 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
839 842 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
840 843 doesn't work properly yet.
841 844
842 845 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
843 846
844 847 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
845 848 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
846 849 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
847 850
848 851 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
849 852
850 853 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
851 854 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
852 855 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
853 856 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
854 857 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
855 858 execute commands.
856 859
857 860 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
858 861
859 862 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
860 863 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
861 864
862 865 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
863 866
864 867 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
865 868 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
866 869
867 870 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
868 871
869 872 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
870 873 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
871 874 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
872 875
873 876 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
874 877
875 878 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
876 879
877 880 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
878 881 Repo tagged and release cut.
879 882
880 883 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
881 884
882 885 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
883 886 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
884 887
885 888 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
886 889 (for %upgrade)
887 890
888 891 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
889 892
890 893 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
891 894 instead of looping 20 times.
892 895
893 896 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
894 897 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
895 898 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
896 899
897 900 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
898 901 testing for release on 06/06.
899 902
900 903 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
901 904
902 905 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
903 906 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
904 907 live in people's PATH.
905 908
906 909 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
907 910 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
908 911 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
909 912 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
910 913 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
911 914
912 915 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
913 916 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
914 917
915 918 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
916 919
917 920 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
918 921 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
919 922
920 923 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
921 924
922 925 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
923 926 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
924 927 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
925 928
926 929 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
927 930
928 931 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
929 932 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
930 933 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
931 934 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
932 935
933 936 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
934 937 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
935 938 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
936 939 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
937 940
938 941 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
939 942 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
940 943 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
941 944 work.
942 945
943 946 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
944 947
945 948 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
946 949 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
947 950
948 951 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
949 952 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
950 953 author William Stein.
951 954
952 955 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
953 956 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
954 957 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
955 958 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
956 959 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
957 960 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
958 961 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
959 962 objects more easily.
960 963
961 964 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
962 965
963 966 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
964 967 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
965 968 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
966 969 by Jeffrey Collins.
967 970
968 971 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
969 972 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
970 973 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
971 974 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
972 975
973 976 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
974 977 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
975 978 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
976 979 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
977 980
978 981 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
979 982 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
980 983 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
981 984 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
982 985 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
983 986 compatibility)
984 987
985 988 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
986 989 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
987 990 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
988 991
989 992 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
990 993 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
991 994 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
992 995 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
993 996 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
994 997
995 998 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
996 999 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
997 1000 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
998 1001
999 1002 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1000 1003 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1001 1004 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1002 1005 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1003 1006 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1004 1007 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1005 1008 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1006 1009
1007 1010 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1008 1011 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1009 1012 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1010 1013
1011 1014 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1012 1015 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1013 1016 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1014 1017
1015 1018 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1016 1019 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1017 1020
1018 1021 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1019 1022
1020 1023 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1021 1024 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1022 1025 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1023 1026 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1024 1027 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1025 1028 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1026 1029 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1027 1030 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1028 1031 while running under SAGE.
1029 1032
1030 1033 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1031 1034
1032 1035 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1033 1036 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1034 1037 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1035 1038 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1036 1039
1037 1040 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1038 1041
1039 1042 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1040 1043 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1041 1044 updated.
1042 1045
1043 1046 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1044 1047 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1045 1048 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1046 1049 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1047 1050 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1048 1051
1049 1052 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1050 1053 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1051 1054 so more testing is needed...
1052 1055
1053 1056 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1054 1057
1055 1058 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1056 1059 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1057 1060 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1058 1061 when doing complex debugging.
1059 1062 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1060 1063 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1061 1064 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1062 1065 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1063 1066
1064 1067 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1065 1068
1066 1069 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1067 1070 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1068 1071 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1069 1072 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1070 1073
1071 1074 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1072 1075
1073 1076 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1074 1077 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1075 1078
1076 1079 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1077 1080
1078 1081 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1079 1082 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1080 1083 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1081 1084 been the one to acquire it.
1082 1085
1083 1086 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1084 1087
1085 1088 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1086 1089
1087 1090 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1088 1091
1089 1092 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1090 1093 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1091 1094 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1092 1095
1093 1096 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1094 1097 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1095 1098 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1096 1099 properly flush the output cache.
1097 1100
1098 1101 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1099 1102 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1100 1103
1101 1104 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1102 1105
1103 1106 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1104 1107 are quoted
1105 1108
1106 1109 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1107 1110
1108 1111 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1109 1112 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1110 1113
1111 1114 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1112 1115 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1113 1116
1114 1117 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1115 1118
1116 1119 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1117 1120 %upgrade magic
1118 1121
1119 1122 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1120 1123
1121 1124 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1122 1125 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1123 1126 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1124 1127
1125 1128 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1126 1129
1127 1130 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1128 1131 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1129 1132
1130 1133 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1131 1134 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1132 1135 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1133 1136 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1134 1137 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1135 1138
1136 1139 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1137 1140
1138 1141 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1139 1142 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1140 1143
1141 1144 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1142 1145
1143 1146 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1144 1147 Torsten Marek.
1145 1148
1146 1149 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1147 1150
1148 1151 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1149 1152 line ranges works again.
1150 1153
1151 1154 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1152 1155
1153 1156 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1154 1157 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1155 1158 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1156 1159 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1157 1160 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1158 1161
1159 1162 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1160 1163 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1161 1164 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1162 1165 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1163 1166 more.
1164 1167
1165 1168 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1166 1169
1167 1170 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1168 1171 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1169 1172
1170 1173 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1171 1174
1172 1175 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1173 1176 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1174 1177
1175 1178 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1176 1179
1177 1180 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1178 1181
1179 1182 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1180 1183
1181 1184 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1182 1185
1183 1186 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1184 1187 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1185 1188 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1186 1189
1187 1190 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1188 1191
1189 1192 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1190 1193 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1191 1194 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1192 1195 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1193 1196
1194 1197 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1195 1198 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1196 1199
1197 1200 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1198 1201 contributed by marienz to close
1199 1202 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1200 1203
1201 1204 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1202 1205
1203 1206 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1204 1207
1205 1208 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1206 1209 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1207 1210 nonsense.
1208 1211
1209 1212 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1210 1213
1211 1214 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1212 1215 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1213 1216
1214 1217 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1215 1218
1216 1219 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1217 1220
1218 1221 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1219 1222 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1220 1223
1221 1224 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1222 1225
1223 1226 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1224 1227 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1225 1228 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1226 1229 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1227 1230 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1228 1231 SAGE team.
1229 1232 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1230 1233 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1231 1234
1232 1235 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1233 1236 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1234 1237 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1235 1238 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1236 1239 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1237 1240
1238 1241 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1239 1242
1240 1243 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1241 1244 correctly now (on Linux)
1242 1245
1243 1246 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1244 1247 warnings
1245 1248
1246 1249 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1247 1250
1248 1251 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1249 1252
1250 1253
1251 1254 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1252 1255
1253 1256 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1254 1257 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1255 1258 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1256 1259 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1257 1260 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1258 1261 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1259 1262 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1260 1263 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1261 1264
1262 1265 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1263 1266
1264 1267 * aliases can now be %store'd
1265 1268
1266 1269 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1267 1270 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1268 1271 at __init__.
1269 1272
1270 1273 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1271 1274 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1272 1275
1273 1276 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1274 1277
1275 1278 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1276 1279 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1277 1280 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1278 1281
1279 1282 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1280 1283
1281 1284 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1282 1285
1283 1286 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1284 1287
1285 1288 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1286 1289 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1287 1290 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1288 1291 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1289 1292
1290 1293 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1291 1294 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1292 1295
1293 1296 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1294 1297
1295 1298 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1296 1299 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1297 1300 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1298 1301 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1299 1302
1300 1303 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1301 1304 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1302 1305 usage.
1303 1306
1304 1307 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1305 1308 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1306 1309 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1307 1310
1308 1311 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1309 1312
1310 1313 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1311 1314 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1312 1315
1313 1316 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1314 1317 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1315 1318 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1316 1319
1317 1320 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1318 1321
1319 1322 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1320 1323
1321 1324 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1322 1325
1323 1326 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1324 1327 are now more helpful:
1325 1328 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1326 1329
1327 1330 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1328 1331
1329 1332 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1330 1333 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1331 1334
1332 1335 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1333 1336
1334 1337 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1335 1338 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1336 1339
1337 1340 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1338 1341 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1339 1342 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1340 1343
1341 1344 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1342 1345
1343 1346
1344 1347 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1345 1348
1346 1349 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1347 1350 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1348 1351
1349 1352 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1350 1353
1351 1354 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1352 1355 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1353 1356 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1354 1357 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1355 1358 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1356 1359 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1357 1360
1358 1361 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1359 1362
1360 1363 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1361 1364 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1362 1365 \python24\scripts).
1363 1366
1364 1367 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1365 1368 egg.
1366 1369
1367 1370 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1368 1371
1369 1372 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1370 1373
1371 1374 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1372 1375
1373 1376 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1374 1377
1375 1378 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1376 1379
1377 1380 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1378 1381 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1379 1382 \python24\scripts).
1380 1383
1381 1384 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1382 1385 egg.
1383 1386
1384 1387 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1385 1388
1386 1389 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1387 1390 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1388 1391 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1389 1392
1390 1393 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1391 1394 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1392 1395 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1393 1396 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1394 1397
1395 1398 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1396 1399 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1397 1400 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1398 1401 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1399 1402 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1400 1403 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1401 1404 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1402 1405 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1403 1406 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1404 1407 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1405 1408 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1406 1409 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1407 1410
1408 1411 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1409 1412
1410 1413 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1411 1414 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1412 1415 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1413 1416 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1414 1417
1415 1418 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1416 1419
1417 1420 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1418 1421 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1419 1422 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1420 1423 importing extensions easy.
1421 1424
1422 1425 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1423 1426 classes / instances of those classes.
1424 1427
1425 1428 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1426 1429 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1427 1430 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1428 1431 the user.
1429 1432
1430 1433 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1431 1434 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1432 1435 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1433 1436
1434 1437 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1435 1438
1436 1439 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1437 1440 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1438 1441 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1439 1442 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1440 1443 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1441 1444 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1442 1445 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1443 1446 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1444 1447 the method.
1445 1448
1446 1449 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1447 1450
1448 1451 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1449 1452 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1450 1453
1451 1454 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1452 1455
1453 1456 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1454 1457 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1455 1458 Vivian.
1456 1459
1457 1460 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1458 1461 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1459 1462 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1460 1463 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1461 1464 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1462 1465
1463 1466 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1464 1467
1465 1468 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1466 1469 that returns file contents on exit.
1467 1470
1468 1471 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1469 1472 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1470 1473 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1471 1474 sc files=ls
1472 1475 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1473 1476 print p,p.mtime
1474 1477
1475 1478 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1476 1479 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1477 1480 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1478 1481 instead of syntax error.
1479 1482
1480 1483
1481 1484 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1482 1485
1483 1486 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1484 1487 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1485 1488 data.
1486 1489
1487 1490 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1488 1491 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1489 1492 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1490 1493 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1491 1494
1492 1495 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1493 1496 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1494 1497 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1495 1498 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1496 1499 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1497 1500 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1498 1501
1499 1502 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1500 1503
1501 1504 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1502 1505 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1503 1506 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1504 1507 current dir.
1505 1508
1506 1509 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1507 1510 had to create new files.
1508 1511
1509 1512 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1510 1513 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1511 1514 future.
1512 1515
1513 1516 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1514 1517 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1515 1518 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1516 1519
1517 1520
1518 1521 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1519 1522
1520 1523 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1521 1524 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1522 1525 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1523 1526 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1524 1527 later.
1525 1528
1526 1529 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1527 1530 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1528 1531
1529 1532 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1530 1533
1531 1534 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1532 1535 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1533 1536 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1534 1537 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1535 1538 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1536 1539 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1537 1540
1538 1541 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1539 1542
1540 1543 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1541 1544 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1542 1545 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1543 1546 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1544 1547 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1545 1548 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1546 1549 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1547 1550 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1548 1551 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1549 1552 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1550 1553
1551 1554 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1552 1555 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1553 1556 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1554 1557 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1555 1558
1556 1559 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1557 1560 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1558 1561 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1559 1562 "setup.py install" between changes).
1560 1563
1561 1564 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1562 1565 if 1:
1563 1566 !ls
1564 1567 !!ls
1565 1568
1566 1569 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1567 1570
1568 1571 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1569 1572 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1570 1573 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1571 1574 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1572 1575
1573 1576 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1574 1577 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1575 1578 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1576 1579
1577 1580 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1578 1581
1579 1582 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1580 1583 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1581 1584 win32.
1582 1585
1583 1586 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1584 1587
1585 1588 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1586 1589
1587 1590 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1588 1591 ready for release.
1589 1592
1590 1593 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1591 1594 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1592 1595 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1593 1596 where to copy the info from.

1595 1598 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1596 1599
1597 1600 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1598 1601 support in the release tools as well.
1599 1602
1600 1603 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1601 1604
1602 1605 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1603 1606 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1604 1607 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1605 1608 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1606 1609
1607 1610 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1608 1611 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1609 1612 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1610 1613
1611 1614 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1612 1615 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1613 1616
1614 1617 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1615 1618 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1616 1619 printer not to work.
1617 1620
1618 1621 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1619 1622
1620 1623 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1621 1624 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1622 1625
1623 1626 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1624 1627
1625 1628 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1626 1629 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1627 1630 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1628 1631
1629 1632 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1630 1633 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1631 1634 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1632 1635
1633 1636 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1634 1637 Ville's patch.
1635 1638
1636 1639 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1637 1640
1638 1641 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1639 1642 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1640 1643 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1641 1644 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1642 1645 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1643 1646 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1644 1647 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1645 1648
1646 1649 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1647 1650 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1648 1651 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1649 1652
1650 1653 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1651 1654
1652 1655 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1653 1656 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1654 1657
1655 1658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1656 1659 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1657 1660 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1658 1661 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1659 1662 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1660 1663 twister).
1661 1664
1662 1665 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1663 1666 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1664 1667 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1665 1668
1666 1669 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1667 1670 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1668 1671 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1669 1672 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1670 1673 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1671 1674 something inside the dis module.
1672 1675
1673 1676 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1674 1677
1675 1678 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1676 1679 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1677 1680 follows the discussion in
1678 1681 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1679 1682
1680 1683 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1681 1684 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1682 1685 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1683 1686
1684 1687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1685 1688 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1686 1689 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1687 1690
1688 1691 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1689 1692 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1690 1693 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1691 1694 speed up this routine.
1692 1695
1693 1696 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1694 1697 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1695 1698 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1696 1699 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1697 1700 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1698 1701 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1699 1702 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1700 1703 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1701 1704
1702 1705 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1703 1706 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1704 1707 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1705 1708
1706 1709 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1707 1710 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1708 1711 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1709 1712 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1710 1713 setters don't do anything).
1711 1714
1712 1715 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1713 1716
1714 1717 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1715 1718 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1716 1719 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1717 1720 falling out of sync...)
1718 1721
1719 1722 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1720 1723 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1721 1724 as loops).
1722 1725
1723 1726 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1724 1727 win32 system access.
1725 1728
1726 1729 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1727 1730
1728 1731 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1729 1732 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1730 1733 thread-safe.
1731 1734 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1732 1735 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1733 1736 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1734 1737 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1735 1738 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1736 1739 can still happen.
1737 1740 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1738 1741 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1739 1742 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1740 1743 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1741 1744 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1742 1745 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1743 1746 cleanly.
1744 1747
1745 1748 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1746 1749 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1747 1750 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1748 1751 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1749 1752 users' persisted data.
1750 1753
1751 1754 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1752 1755 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1753 1756 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1754 1757 multiline input (such as macros).
1755 1758
1756 1759 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1757 1760 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1758 1761 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1759 1762 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1760 1763 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1761 1764 informative).
1762 1765
1763 1766 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1764 1767 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1765 1768
1766 1769 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1767 1770 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1768 1771 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1769 1772
1770 1773 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1771 1774 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1772 1775 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1773 1776 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1774 1777 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1775 1778 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1776 1779 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1777 1780 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1778 1781 details.
1779 1782
1780 1783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1781 1784 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1782 1785 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1783 1786 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1784 1787 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1785 1788
1786 1789 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1787 1790 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1788 1791 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1789 1792 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1790 1793 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1791 1794
1792 1795 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1793 1796 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1794 1797 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1795 1798 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1796 1799 options to %logstart. Closes
1797 1800 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1798 1801 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1799 1802
1800 1803 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1801 1804
1802 1805 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1803 1806 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1804 1807 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1805 1808 list:
1806 1809 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1807 1810
1808 1811 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1809 1812
1810 1813 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1811 1814 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1812 1815 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1813 1816 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1814 1817
1815 1818 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1816 1819 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1817 1820 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1818 1821 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1819 1822 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1820 1823
1821 1824 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1822 1825 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1823 1826 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1824 1827 true by default.
1825 1828
1826 1829 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1827 1830 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1828 1831 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1829 1832 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1830 1833
1831 1834 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1832 1835
1833 1836 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1834 1837 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1835 1838 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1836 1839 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1837 1840 version committed).
1838 1841
1839 1842 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1840 1843 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1841 1844 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1842 1845 discussion on the user list.
1843 1846
1844 1847 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1845 1848 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1846 1849 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1847 1850 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1848 1851
1849 1852 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1850 1853
1851 1854 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1852 1855 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1853 1856 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1854 1857
1855 1858 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1856 1859 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1857 1860 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1858 1861
1859 1862 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1860 1863 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1861 1864 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1862 1865 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1863 1866 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1864 1867 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1865 1868 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1866 1869 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1867 1870 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1868 1871 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1869 1872 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1870 1873 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1871 1874 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1872 1875 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1873 1876 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1874 1877 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1875 1878 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1876 1879 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1877 1880 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1878 1881 branch refactoring.
1879 1882
1880 1883 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1881 1884
1882 1885 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1883 1886 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1884 1887
1885 1888 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1886 1889 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1887 1890 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1888 1891 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1889 1892 worked correctly).
1890 1893
1891 1894 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1892 1895 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1893 1896 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1894 1897
1895 1898 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1896 1899
1897 1900 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1898 1901 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1899 1902 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1900 1903 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1901 1904 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1902 1905 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1903 1906 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1904 1907 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1905 1908
1906 1909 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1907 1910
1908 1911 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1909 1912 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1910 1913 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1911 1914 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1912 1915 on this.
1913 1916
1914 1917 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1915 1918
1916 1919 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1917 1920 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1918 1921 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1919 1922 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1920 1923 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1921 1924
1922 1925 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1923 1926
1924 1927 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1925 1928 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1926 1929 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1927 1930 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1928 1931
1929 1932 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1930 1933
1931 1934 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1932 1935 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1933 1936 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1934 1937
1935 1938 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1936 1939
1937 1940 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1938 1941 startup time.
1939 1942
1940 1943 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1941 1944 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1942 1945 it's working in all cases.
1943 1946
1944 1947 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1945 1948 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1946 1949 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1947 1950 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1948 1951 per-search basis.
1949 1952
1950 1953 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1951 1954
1952 1955 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1953 1956 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1954 1957 of a patch by Jorgen.
1955 1958
1956 1959 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1957 1960
1958 1961 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1959 1962 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1960 1963 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1961 1964
1962 1965 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1963 1966
1964 1967 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1965 1968 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1966 1969 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1967 1970 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1968 1971
1969 1972 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1970 1973
1971 1974 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1972 1975 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1973 1976 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1974 1977 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1975 1978 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1976 1979 implementing this functionality.
1977 1980
1978 1981 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1979 1982
1980 1983 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1981 1984 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1982 1985 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1983 1986 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1984 1987 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1985 1988 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1986 1989 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1987 1990
1988 1991 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1989 1992
1990 1993 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1991 1994 reported by Stephen Walton.
1992 1995
1993 1996 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1994 1997
1995 1998 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1996 1999
1997 2000 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1998 2001 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1999 2002
2000 2003 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2001 2004
2002 2005 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2003 2006 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2004 2007
2005 2008 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2006 2009 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2007 2010
2008 2011 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2009 2012
2010 2013 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2011 2014 finishing.
2012 2015
2013 2016 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2014 2017 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2015 2018
2016 2019 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2017 2020 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2018 2021 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2019 2022
2020 2023 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2021 2024 code, handy in general.
2022 2025
2023 2026 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2024 2027 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2025 2028 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2026 2029
2027 2030 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2028 2031
2029 2032 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2030 2033 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2031 2034 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2032 2035 testing, though.
2033 2036 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2034 2037 like this before...
2035 2038
2036 2039 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2037 2040 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2038 2041
2039 2042 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2040 2043 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2041 2044
2042 2045 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2043 2046
2044 2047 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2045 2048 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2046 2049 F. Mantegazza.
2047 2050
2048 2051 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2049 2052
2050 2053 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2051 2054 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2052 2055 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2053 2056
2054 2057 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2055 2058 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2056 2059 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2057 2060 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2058 2061 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2059 2062 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2060 2063
2061 2064 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2062 2065
2063 2066 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2064 2067 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2065 2068 beyond readline-based environments.
2066 2069
2067 2070 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2068 2071
2069 2072 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2070 2073
2071 2074 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2072 2075 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2073 2076 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2074 2077 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2075 2078 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2076 2079
2077 2080 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2078 2081
2079 2082 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2080 2083 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2081 2084 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2082 2085
2083 2086 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2084 2087
2085 2088 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2086 2089
2087 2090 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2088 2091
2089 2092 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2090 2093 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2091 2094 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2092 2095 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2093 2096 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2094 2097 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2095 2098
2096 2099 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2097 2100
2098 2101 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2099 2102
2100 2103 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2101 2104
2102 2105 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2103 2106 invalid $HOME under win32.
2104 2107
2105 2108 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2106 2109
2107 2110 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2108 2111 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2109 2112 simpler and a bit faster.
2110 2113
2111 2114 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2112 2115 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2113 2116 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2114 2117 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2115 2118 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2116 2119
2117 2120 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2118 2121 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2119 2122 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2120 2123
2121 2124 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2122 2125 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2123 2126
2124 2127 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2125 2128 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2126 2129 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2127 2130 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2128 2131 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2129 2132 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2130 2133 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2131 2134
2132 2135 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2133 2136
2134 2137 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2135 2138
2136 2139 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2137 2140
2138 2141 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2139 2142 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2140 2143
2141 2144 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2142 2145
2143 2146 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2144 2147 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2145 2148 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2146 2149 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2147 2150 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2148 2151 for the contribution.
2149 2152
2150 2153 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2151 2154 slightly modified version of the patch in
2152 2155 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2153 2156 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2154 2157 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2155 2158
2156 2159 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2157 2160
2158 2161 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2159 2162 I/O a bit more.
2160 2163
2161 2164 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2162 2165 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2163 2166
2164 2167 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2165 2168
2166 2169 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2167 2170
2168 2171 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2169 2172 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2170 2173 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2171 2174 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2172 2175
2173 2176 readline_remove_delims -/~
2174 2177
2175 2178
2176 2179 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2177 2180
2178 2181 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2179 2182
2180 2183 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2181 2184 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2182 2185 <eli@gondolin.net>
2183 2186
2184 2187 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2185 2188
2186 2189 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2187 2190 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2188 2191
2189 2192 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2190 2193
2191 2194 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2192 2195 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2193 2196 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2194 2197
2195 2198 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2196 2199
2197 2200 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2198 2201 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2199 2202
2200 2203 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2201 2204
2202 2205 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2203 2206 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2204 2207
2205 2208 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2206 2209 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2207 2210 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2208 2211 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2209 2212 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2210 2213 for more details.
2211 2214
2212 2215 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2213 2216 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2214 2217 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2215 2218 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2216 2219
2217 2220 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2218 2221
2219 2222 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2220 2223 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2221 2224 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2222 2225 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2223 2226 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2224 2227
2225 2228 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2226 2229 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2227 2230 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2228 2231
2229 2232 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2230 2233
2231 2234 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2232 2235
2233 2236 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2234 2237
2235 2238 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2236 2239 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2237 2240 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2238 2241 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2239 2242 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2240 2243
2241 2244 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2242 2245
2243 2246 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2244 2247
2245 2248 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2246 2249 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2247 2250 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2248 2251 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2249 2252 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2250 2253
2251 2254 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2252 2255 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2253 2256 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2254 2257 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2255 2258 take the text parameter.
2256 2259
2257 2260 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2258 2261 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2259 2262 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2260 2263 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2261 2264 pysh profile to include the line
2262 2265
2263 2266 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2264 2267
2265 2268 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2266 2269 delete pysh.py and the line
2267 2270
2268 2271 execfile pysh.py
2269 2272
2270 2273 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2271 2274
2272 2275 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2273 2276 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2274 2277 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2275 2278 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2276 2279 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2277 2280
2278 2281 * pysh.py:
2279 2282
2280 2283 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2281 2284
2282 2285 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2283 2286 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2284 2287 want it can still turn it off.
2285 2288
2286 2289 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2287 2290 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2288 2291 off by default.
2289 2292
2290 2293 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2291 2294 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2292 2295 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2293 2296 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2294 2297 calls.

2297 2300
2298 2301 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2299 2302 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2300 2303 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2301 2304
2302 2305 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2303 2306
2304 2307 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2305 2308 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2306 2309 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2307 2310 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2308 2311
2309 2312 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2310 2313 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2311 2314 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2312 2315 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2313 2316
2314 2317 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2315 2318
2316 2319 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2317 2320 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2318 2321
2319 2322 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2320 2323 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2321 2324 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2322 2325 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2323 2326 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2324 2327 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2325 2328 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2326 2329 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2327 2330
2328 2331 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2329 2332
2330 2333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2331 2334 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2332 2335 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2333 2336 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2334 2337 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2335 2338 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2336 2339 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2337 2340 add new completers at runtime.
2338 2341
2339 2342 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2340 2343
2341 2344 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2342 2345 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2343 2346 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2344 2347 ? system.
2345 2348
2346 2349 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2347 2350 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2348 2351 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2349 2352 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2350 2353 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2351 2354 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2352 2355 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2353 2356 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2354 2357
2355 2358 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2356 2359
2357 2360 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2358 2361 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2359 2362 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2360 2363 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2361 2364 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2362 2365
2363 2366 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2364 2367 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2365 2368 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2366 2369 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2367 2370 add:
2368 2371
2369 2372 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2370 2373 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2371 2374
2372 2375 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2373 2376
2374 2377 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2375 2378 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2376 2379 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2377 2380 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2378 2381
2379 2382 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2380 2383 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2381 2384 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2382 2385 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2383 2386 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2384 2387 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2385 2388 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2386 2389 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2387 2390 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2388 2391
2389 2392 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2390 2393
2391 2394 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2392 2395 prompt namespace handling.
2393 2396
2394 2397 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2395 2398
2396 2399 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2397 2400 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2398 2401 trips the emacs python mode).
2399 2402 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2400 2403 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2401 2404 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2402 2405 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2403 2406 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2404 2407 calls will be made at runtime.
2405 2408
2406 2409 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2407 2410
2408 2411 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2409 2412 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2410 2413 the call to %history.
2411 2414

2413 2416
2414 2417 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2415 2418
2416 2419 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2417 2420 ipmagic() function calls.
2418 2421
2419 2422 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2420 2423 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2421 2424
2422 2425 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2423 2426
2424 2427 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2425 2428 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2426 2429 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2427 2430 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2428 2431 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2429 2432 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2430 2433 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2431 2434 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2432 2435
2433 2436 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2434 2437
2435 2438 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2436 2439 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2437 2440 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2438 2441 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2439 2442 Ville Vainio.
2440 2443
2441 2444 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2442 2445
2443 2446 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2444 2447 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2445 2448 define the ones they personally like.
2446 2449
2447 2450 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2448 2451
2449 2452 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2450 2453 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2451 2454
2452 2455 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2453 2456
2454 2457 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2455 2458 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2456 2459
2457 2460 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2458 2461 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2459 2462 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2460 2463 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2461 2464 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2462 2465 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2463 2466 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2464 2467 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2465 2468
2466 2469 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2467 2470 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2468 2471 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2469 2472 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2470 2473 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2471 2474
2472 2475 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2473 2476
2474 2477 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2475 2478 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2476 2479 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2477 2480
2478 2481 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2479 2482 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2480 2483 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2481 2484
2482 2485 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2483 2486
2484 2487 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2485 2488
2486 2489 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2487 2490 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2488 2491 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2489 2492 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2490 2493 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2491 2494 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2492 2495 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2493 2496 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2494 2497 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2495 2498 system is a separate implementation).
2496 2499
2497 2500 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2498 2501 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2499 2502 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2500 2503 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2501 2504 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2502 2505 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2503 2506 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2504 2507 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2505 2508 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2506 2509 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2507 2510 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2508 2511
2509 2512 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2510 2513
2511 2514 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2512 2515 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2513 2516 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2514 2517 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2515 2518 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2516 2519 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2517 2520 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2518 2521 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2519 2522
2520 2523 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2521 2524
2522 2525 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2523 2526 previous call produced a syntax error.
2524 2527
2525 2528 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2526 2529 classes without constructor.
2527 2530
2528 2531 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2529 2532
2530 2533 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2531 2534 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2532 2535 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2533 2536 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2534 2537 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2535 2538 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2536 2539 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2537 2540
2538 2541 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2539 2542
2540 2543 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2541 2544 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2542 2545
2543 2546 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2544 2547
2545 2548 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2546 2549 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2547 2550 optimizations.
2548 2551
2549 2552 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2550 2553 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2551 2554
2552 2555 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2553 2556
2554 2557 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2555 2558 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2556 2559 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2557 2560 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2558 2561 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2559 2562 avoid annoying the lists further.

2563 2566 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2564 2567
2565 2568 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2566 2569 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2567 2570 norm definitions.
2568 2571 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2569 2572 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2570 2573 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2571 2574
2572 2575 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2573 2576 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2574 2577 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2575 2578 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2576 2579 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2577 2580
2578 2581 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2579 2582 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2580 2583 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2581 2584 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2582 2585
2583 2586 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2584 2587 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2585 2588 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2586 2589 fixes.
2587 2590
2588 2591 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2589 2592 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2590 2593 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2591 2594 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2592 2595 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2593 2596 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2594 2597 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2598 2601 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2599 2602
2600 2603 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2601 2604 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2602 2605 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2603 2606 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2604 2607 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2605 2608 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2606 2609 Panel.
2607 2610
2608 2611 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2609 2612 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2610 2613 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2611 2614 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2612 2615 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2613 2616
2614 2617 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2615 2618
2616 2619 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2617 2620 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2618 2621

2621 2624 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2622 2625
2623 2626 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2624 2627 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2625 2628 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2626 2629 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2627 2630 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2628 2631 python shell.
2629 2632
2630 2633 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2631 2634 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2632 2635 on assignments. This closes
2633 2636 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2634 2637 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2635 2638 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2638 2641

2644 2647 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2645 2648
2646 2649 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2647 2650 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2648 2651
2649 2652 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2650 2653
2651 2654 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2652 2655 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2653 2656 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2654 2657
2655 2658 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2656 2659
2657 2660 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2658 2661 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2659 2662 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2660 2663
2661 2664 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2662 2665
2663 2666 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2664 2667 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2665 2668 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2666 2669
2667 2670 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2668 2671 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2669 2672 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2670 2673
2671 2674 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2672 2675
2673 2676 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2674 2677 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2675 2678
2676 2679 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2677 2680
2678 2681 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2679 2682 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2680 2683 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2681 2684
2682 2685 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2683 2686
2684 2687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2685 2688 reported by Prabhu.
2686 2689 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2687 2690 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2688 2691 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2689 2692
2690 2693 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2691 2694 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2692 2695
2693 2696 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2694 2697 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2695 2698 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2696 2699 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2697 2700 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2698 2701 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2699 2702
2700 2703 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2701 2704
2702 2705 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2703 2706
2704 2707 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2705 2708 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2706 2709 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2707 2710 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2708 2711
2709 2712 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2710 2713 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2711 2714
2712 2715 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2713 2716 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2714 2717 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2715 2718 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2716 2719 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2717 2720 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2718 2721 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2719 2722
2720 2723 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2721 2724 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2722 2725 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2723 2726
2724 2727 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2725 2728 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2726 2729 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2727 2730 before.
2728 2731
2729 2732 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2730 2733
2731 2734 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2732 2735 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2733 2736 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2734 2737 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2735 2738
2736 2739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2737 2740 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2738 2741 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2739 2742 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2740 2743 timing very short-running code.
2741 2744
2742 2745 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2743 2746 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2744 2747 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2745 2748 utility.
2746 2749
2747 2750 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2748 2751 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2749 2752 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2750 2753 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2751 2754 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2752 2755 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2753 2756 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2754 2757 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2755 2758
2756 2759 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2757 2760 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2758 2761 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2759 2762
2760 2763 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2761 2764 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2762 2765 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2763 2766 is for).
2764 2767
2765 2768 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2766 2769 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2767 2770 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2768 2771 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2769 2772 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2770 2773
2771 2774 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2772 2775
2773 2776 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2774 2777 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2775 2778 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2776 2779 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2777 2780 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2778 2781
2779 2782 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2780 2783 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2781 2784 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2782 2785 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2783 2786 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2784 2787 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2785 2788
2786 2789 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2787 2790
2788 2791 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2789 2792 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2790 2793
2791 2794 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2792 2795
2793 2796 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2794 2797 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2795 2798 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2796 2799 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2797 2800
2798 2801 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2799 2802
2800 2803 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2801 2804
2802 2805 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2803 2806 setting with -d option.
2804 2807
2805 2808 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2806 2809 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2807 2810 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2808 2811 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2809 2812
2810 2813 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2811 2814
2812 2815 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2813 2816 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2814 2817
2815 2818 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2816 2819 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2817 2820 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2818 2821 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2819 2822 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2820 2823 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2821 2824 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2822 2825 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2823 2826 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2824 2827 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2825 2828 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2826 2829
2827 2830 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2831
2829 2832 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2830 2833 cache when empty lines were present.
2831 2834
2832 2835 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2833 2836
2834 2837 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2835 2838 options for WX and GTK.
2836 2839
2837 2840 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2838 2841
2839 2842 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2840 2843 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2841 2844 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2842 2845 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2843 2846 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2844 2847 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2845 2848 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2846 2849
2847 2850 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2848 2851 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2849 2852
2850 2853 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2851 2854
2852 2855 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2853 2856 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2854 2857 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2855 2858 many thanks.
2856 2859
2857 2860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2858 2861 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2859 2862 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2860 2863
2861 2864 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2862 2865
2863 2866 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2864 2867 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2865 2868 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2866 2869
2867 2870 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2868 2871
2869 2872 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2870 2873
2871 2874 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2872 2875 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2873 2876 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2874 2877
2875 2878 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2876 2879
2877 2880 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2878 2881 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2879 2882
2880 2883 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2881 2884
2882 2885 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2883 2886 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2884 2887 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2885 2888 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2886 2889 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2887 2890 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2888 2891 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2889 2892
2890 2893 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2891 2894
2892 2895 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2893 2896 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2894 2897 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2895 2898 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2896 2899
2897 2900 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2898 2901 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2899 2902
2900 2903 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2901 2904
2902 2905 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2903 2906 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2904 2907
2905 2908 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2906 2909 use throughout ipython.
2907 2910
2908 2911 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2909 2912 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2910 2913
2911 2914 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2912 2915 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2913 2916 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2914 2917 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2915 2918
2916 2919 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2917 2920
2918 2921 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2919 2922 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2920 2923 report by Francesc Alted.
2921 2924
2922 2925 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2923 2926
2924 2927 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2925 2928 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2926 2929
2927 2930 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2928 2931
2929 2932 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2930 2933 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2931 2934 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2932 2935 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2933 2936 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2934 2937 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2935 2938 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2936 2939 correctly set.
2937 2940
2938 2941 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2942
2940 2943 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2941 2944 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2942 2945 import requirement of PEP-328.
2943 2946
2944 2947 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2945 2948 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2946 2949 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2947 2950 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2948 2951
2949 2952 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2950 2953
2951 2954 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2952 2955
2953 2956 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2954 2957 via a normal python function call.
2955 2958
2956 2959 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2957 2960 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2958 2961 2.4.
2959 2962
2960 2963 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2961 2964
2962 2965 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2963 2966 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2964 2967 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2965 2968 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2966 2969 is given to the user).
2967 2970
2968 2971 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2969 2972
2970 2973 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2971 2974 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2972 2975 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2973 2976 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2974 2977
2975 2978 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2976 2979 python 2.2.
2977 2980
2978 2981 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2979 2982 banner arg for embedded customization.
2980 2983
2981 2984 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2982 2985 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2983 2986 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2984 2987 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2985 2988 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2986 2989 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2987 2990
2988 2991 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2989 2992 minor changes to debian dir.
2990 2993
2991 2994 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2992 2995 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2993 2996 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2994 2997 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).

2998 3001 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2999 3002 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3000 3003 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3001 3004 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3002 3005 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3003 3006
3004 3007 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3005 3008
3006 3009 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3007 3010 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3008 3011
3009 3012 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3010 3013
3011 3014 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3012 3015 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3013 3016
3014 3017 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3015 3018
3016 3019 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3017 3020
3018 3021 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3019 3022 updated.
3020 3023
3021 3024 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3022 3025
3023 3026 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3024 3027 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3025 3028 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3026 3029 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3027 3030 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3028 3031
3029 3032 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3030 3033 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3031 3034 split regexp. Closes
3032 3035 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3033 3036 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3034 3037 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3035 3038 extensions.
3036 3039
3037 3040 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3038 3041 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3039 3042 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3040 3043 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3041 3044 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3042 3045
3043 3046 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3044 3047 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3045 3048 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3046 3049 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3047 3050
3048 3051 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3049 3052 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3050 3053
3051 3054 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3052 3055 fine-tune banner.
3053 3056
3054 3057 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3055 3058 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3056 3059
3057 3060 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3058 3061
3059 3062 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3060 3063 were missing.
3061 3064
3062 3065 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3063 3066 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3064 3067 valid at the command line.
3065 3068
3066 3069 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3067 3070 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3068 3071
3069 3072 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3073
3071 3074 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3072 3075 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3073 3076 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3074 3077
3075 3078 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3076 3079
3077 3080 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3078 3081 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3079 3082 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3080 3083 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3081 3084 continue to use the standard profiler.
3082 3085
3083 3086 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3084 3087
3085 3088 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3086 3089 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3087 3090 close.
3088 3091
3089 3092 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3090 3093
3091 3094 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3092 3095 in Magic and ultraTB.
3093 3096
3094 3097 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3095 3098
3096 3099 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3097 3100 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3098 3101 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3099 3102 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3100 3103
3101 3104 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3102 3105 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3103 3106 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3104 3107 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3105 3108 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3106 3109 infrastructure in place.
3107 3110
3108 3111 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3112
3110 3113 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3111 3114
3112 3115 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3113 3116 the pylab profile.
3114 3117
3115 3118 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3116 3119
3117 3120 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3118 3121
3119 3122 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3120 3123 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3121 3124 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3122 3125 itself.
3123 3126
3124 3127 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3125 3128 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3126 3129 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3127 3130 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3128 3131 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3129 3132 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3130 3133 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3131 3134 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3132 3135
3133 3136 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3134 3137 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3135 3138
3136 3139 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3137 3140
3138 3141 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3139 3142 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3140 3143 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3141 3144
3142 3145 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3143 3146
3144 3147 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3145 3148 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3146 3149
3147 3150 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3148 3151
3149 3152 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3150 3153
3151 3154 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3152 3155
3153 3156 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3154 3157
3155 3158 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3156 3159 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3157 3160 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3158 3161
3159 3162 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3160 3163
3161 3164 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3162 3165 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3163 3166 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3164 3167 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3165 3168 works.
3166 3169
3167 3170 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3168 3171 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3169 3172 practice.
3170 3173
3171 3174 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3172 3175
3173 3176 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3174 3177 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3175 3178 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3176 3179
3177 3180 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3178 3181
3179 3182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3180 3183 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3181 3184 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3182 3185 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3183 3186
3184 3187 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3185 3188
3186 3189 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3187 3190 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3188 3191 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3189 3192 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3190 3193
3191 3194 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3192 3195
3193 3196 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3194 3197
3195 3198 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3196 3199 fail for any number.
3197 3200 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3198 3201 empty bookmarks.
3199 3202
3200 3203 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3201 3204
3202 3205 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3203 3206
3204 3207 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3205 3208
3206 3209 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3207 3210 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3208 3211
3209 3212 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3210 3213 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3211 3214
3212 3215 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3213 3216
3214 3217 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3215 3218 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3216 3219 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3217 3220 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3218 3221 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3219 3222
3220 3223 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3221 3224
3222 3225 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3223 3226 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3224 3227
3225 3228 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3229
3227 3230 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3228 3231 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3229 3232 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3230 3233 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3231 3234
3232 3235 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3233 3236 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3234 3237 Schmolck.
3235 3238
3236 3239 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3237 3240
3238 3241 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3239 3242
3240 3243 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3241 3244 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3242 3245
3243 3246 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3244 3247 optimizations.
3245 3248
3246 3249 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3247 3250 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3248 3251
3249 3252 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3250 3253 --Started changelog.
3251 3254 --make clear do what it say it does
3252 3255 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3253 3256 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3254 3257 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3255 3258 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3256 3259 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3257 3260 can be done for other cases.
3258 3261 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3259 3262 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3260 3263 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3261 3264
3262 3265 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3263 3266 --added logfile rotation
3264 3267 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3265 3268
3266 3269 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3267 3270 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3268 3271 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3269 3272 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3270 3273 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3271 3274 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3272 3275 --added global logfile option
3273 3276 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3274 3277 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3275 3278
3276 3279 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3277 3280 --added a README
3278 3281 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3279 3282 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3280 3283 bug or feature.
3281 3284 --changed rc file for new behavior
3282 3285
3283 3286 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3287
3285 3288 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3286 3289 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3287 3290 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3288 3291
3289 3292 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3290 3293 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3291 3294
3292 3295 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3293 3296
3294 3297 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3295 3298 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3296 3299 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3297 3300 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3298 3301 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3299 3302 and prepended with a #.
3300 3303
3301 3304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3302 3305 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3303 3306
3304 3307 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3305 3308
3306 3309 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3307 3310 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3308 3311
3309 3312 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3310 3313
3311 3314 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3312 3315 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3313 3316
3314 3317 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3315 3318
3316 3319 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3317 3320 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3318 3321 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3319 3322
3320 3323 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3321 3324
3322 3325 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3323 3326 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3324 3327
3325 3328 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3326 3329 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3327 3330 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3328 3331 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3329 3332 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3330 3333 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3331 3334 be implemented later).
3332 3335
3333 3336 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3334 3337 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3335 3338 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3336 3339 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3337 3340
3338 3341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3339 3342 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3340 3343 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3341 3344
3342 3345 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3343 3346 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3344 3347
3345 3348 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3346 3349 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3347 3350 readline make it impossible to go further.
3348 3351
3349 3352 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3350 3353
3351 3354 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3352 3355 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3353 3356
3354 3357 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3355 3358
3356 3359 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3357 3360 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3358 3361 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3359 3362 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3360 3363
3361 3364 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3362 3365 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3363 3366 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3364 3367 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3365 3368
3366 3369 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3367 3370 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3368 3371 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3369 3372 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3370 3373 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3371 3374 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3372 3375 problem.
3373 3376
3374 3377 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3375 3378 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3376 3379
3377 3380 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3378 3381 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3379 3382 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3380 3383
3381 3384 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3382 3385
3383 3386 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3384 3387 continue prompts.
3385 3388
3386 3389 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3387 3390 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3388 3391 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3389 3392 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3390 3393 byte-compilation saves time.
3391 3394
3392 3395 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3393 3396
3394 3397 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3395 3398 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3396 3399
3397 3400 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3398 3401 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3399 3402
3400 3403 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3401 3404 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3402 3405 common cases where it's a problem.
3403 3406
3404 3407 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3408
3406 3409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3407 3410 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3408 3411 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3409 3412 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3410 3413 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3411 3414 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3412 3415
3413 3416 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3414 3417
3415 3418 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3416 3419 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3417 3420
3418 3421 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3419 3422 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3420 3423 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3421 3424 structure as win_exec_ext.
3422 3425
3423 3426 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3424 3427 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3425 3428
3426 3429 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3427 3430 delete aliases.
3428 3431
3429 3432 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3430 3433 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3431 3434
3432 3435 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3433 3436
3434 3437 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3435 3438 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3436 3439
3437 3440 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3438 3441
3439 3442 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3440 3443 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3441 3444
3442 3445 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3443 3446 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3444 3447
3445 3448 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3446 3449 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3447 3450 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3448 3451 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3449 3452 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3450 3453 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3451 3454
3452 3455 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3453 3456 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3454 3457 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3455 3458
3456 3459 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3457 3460 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3458 3461 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3459 3462
3460 3463 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3461 3464 via an extra $. For example:
3462 3465
3463 3466 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3464 3467
3465 3468 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3466 3469 a python variable
3467 3470
3468 3471 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3469 3472 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3470 3473
3471 3474 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3472 3475 things prematurely.
3473 3476
3474 3477 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3475 3478 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3476 3479
3477 3480 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3478 3481 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3479 3482 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3480 3483 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3481 3484 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3482 3485 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3483 3486 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3484 3487 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3485 3488
3486 3489 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3487 3490 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3488 3491 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3489 3492 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3490 3493 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3491 3494 with the old system).
3492 3495
3493 3496 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3494 3497
3495 3498 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3496 3499 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3497 3500
3498 3501 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3499 3502 call to eval.
3500 3503 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3501 3504 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3502 3505 in.
3503 3506
3504 3507 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3505 3508
3506 3509 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3507 3510 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3508 3511 confusion).
3509 3512
3510 3513 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3511 3514 check for Windows users.
3512 3515
3513 3516 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3514 3517 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3515 3518 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3516 3519 download it.
3517 3520
3518 3521 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3519 3522
3520 3523 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3521 3524 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3522 3525 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3523 3526 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3524 3527 of IDLE's out).
3525 3528
3526 3529 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3527 3530 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3528 3531 eventually.
3529 3532 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3530 3533
3531 3534 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3535
3533 3536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3534 3537 list of auto-defined aliases.
3535 3538
3536 3539 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3537 3540
3538 3541 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3539 3542 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3540 3543 things under Windows).
3541 3544
3542 3545 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3543 3546
3544 3547 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3545 3548 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3546 3549 reported by Thorsten.
3547 3550
3548 3551 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3549 3552
3550 3553 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3551 3554 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3552 3555 for all examples and the manual as well.
3553 3556
3554 3557 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3555 3558
3556 3559 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3557 3560 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3558 3561 inherit from BasePrompt.
3559 3562
3560 3563 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3561 3564 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3562 3565
3563 3566 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3564 3567 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3565 3568 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3566 3569 defaults.
3567 3570 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3568 3571 this fix manually!
3569 3572
3570 3573 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3571 3574 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3572 3575 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3573 3576 distutils).
3574 3577
3575 3578 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3576 3579 usage of new '\D' escape.
3577 3580
3578 3581 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3579 3582 lacks os.getuid())
3580 3583 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3581 3584 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3582 3585 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3583 3586 handling mechanism.
3584 3587 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3585 3588 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3586 3589 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3587 3590 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3588 3591 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3589 3592 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3590 3593 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3591 3594
3592 3595 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3593 3596
3594 3597 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3595 3598 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3596 3599 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3597 3600
3598 3601 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3599 3602 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3600 3603 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3601 3604 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3602 3605 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3603 3606 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3604 3607 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3605 3608 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3606 3609
3607 3610 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3608 3611 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3609 3612 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3610 3613 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3611 3614 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3612 3615 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3613 3616 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3614 3617 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3615 3618
3616 3619 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3617 3620 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3618 3621 functions uniform.
3619 3622 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3620 3623
3621 3624 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3622 3625 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3623 3626 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3624 3627 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3625 3628 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3626 3629 use to parse their options.
3627 3630
3628 3631 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3629 3632 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3630 3633 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3631 3634
3632 3635 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3633 3636 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3634 3637 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3635 3638 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3636 3639 via the prompt_specials.
3637 3640
3638 3641 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3639 3642
3640 3643 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3641 3644 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3642 3645 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3643 3646 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3644 3647 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3645 3648 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3646 3649 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3647 3650 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3648 3651
3649 3652 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3650 3653
3651 3654 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3652 3655 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3653 3656 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3654 3657
3655 3658 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3656 3659
3657 3660 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3658 3661 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3659 3662
3660 3663 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3661 3664
3662 3665 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3663 3666 parens would get passed to the shell.
3664 3667
3665 3668 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3669
3667 3670 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3668 3671 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3669 3672
3670 3673 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3671 3674 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3672 3675 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3673 3676 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3674 3677 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3675 3678
3676 3679 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3677 3680 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3678 3681 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3679 3682 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3680 3683
3681 3684 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3682 3685
3683 3686 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3684 3687
3685 3688 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3686 3689 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3687 3690 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3688 3691
3689 3692 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3690 3693 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3691 3694 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3692 3695 official documentation.
3693 3696
3694 3697 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3695 3698
3696 3699 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3697 3700 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3698 3701 explicit filename.
3699 3702
3700 3703 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3701 3704
3702 3705 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3703 3706 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3704 3707 case.
3705 3708
3706 3709 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3707 3710 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3708 3711 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3709 3712

3714 3717 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3715 3718 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3716 3719 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3717 3720 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3718 3721 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3719 3722 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3720 3723 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3721 3724 any changes to python proper.
3722 3725
3723 3726 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3724 3727 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3725 3728 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3726 3729 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3727 3730 Schmolck.
3728 3731
3729 3732 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3730 3733
3731 3734 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3732 3735 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3733 3736 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3734 3737 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3735 3738
3736 3739 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3737 3740
3738 3741 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3739 3742 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3740 3743 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3741 3744 name).
3742 3745
3743 3746 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3744 3747 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3745 3748 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3746 3749 Francois Pinard.
3747 3750
3748 3751 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3749 3752
3750 3753 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3751 3754 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3752 3755 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3753 3756 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3754 3757 not work.
3755 3758
3756 3759 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3757 3760
3758 3761 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3759 3762 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3760 3763 distinguishes stdout/err.
3761 3764
3762 3765 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3763 3766 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3764 3767 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3765 3768 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3766 3769 the standard library.
3767 3770
3768 3771 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3769 3772 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3770 3773
3771 3774 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3772 3775 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3773 3776
3774 3777 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3775 3778
3776 3779 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3777 3780 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3778 3781 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3779 3782 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3780 3783 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3781 3784 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3782 3785
3783 3786 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3784 3787
3785 3788 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3786 3789 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3787 3790 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3788 3791 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3789 3792
3790 3793 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3791 3794
3792 3795 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3793 3796 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3794 3797 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3795 3798 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3796 3799
3797 3800 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3798 3801
3799 3802 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3800 3803 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3801 3804 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3802 3805 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3803 3806 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3804 3807 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3805 3808 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3806 3809 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3807 3810
3808 3811 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3809 3812
3810 3813 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3811 3814 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3812 3815
3813 3816 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3814 3817
3815 3818 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3816 3819 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3817 3820 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3818 3821 very short.
3819 3822
3820 3823 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3821 3824
3822 3825 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3823 3826 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3824 3827 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3825 3828 this before making it permanent.
3826 3829
3827 3830 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3828 3831 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3829 3832 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3830 3833 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3831 3834
3832 3835 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3833 3836
3834 3837 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3835 3838 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3836 3839
3837 3840 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3838 3841
3839 3842 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3840 3843 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3841 3844 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3842 3845 cases I've missed.
3843 3846
3844 3847 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3845 3848
3846 3849 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3847 3850 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3848 3851 system would be triggered for @p.
3849 3852
3850 3853 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3851 3854 cleanups, code unmodified.
3852 3855
3853 3856 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3854 3857 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3855 3858 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3856 3859 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3857 3860 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3858 3861 The actual changes affect many files.
3859 3862
3860 3863 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3861 3864
3862 3865 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3863 3866 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3864 3867 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3865 3868
3866 3869 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3867 3870
3868 3871 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3869 3872 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3870 3873
3871 3874 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3872 3875
3873 3876 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3874 3877 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3875 3878 numpy list.
3876 3879
3877 3880 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3881
3879 3882 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3880 3883 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3881 3884 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3882 3885 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3883 3886
3884 3887 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3885 3888
3886 3889 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3887 3890 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3888 3891 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3889 3892 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3890 3893
3891 3894 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3892 3895 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3893 3896
3894 3897 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3895 3898
3896 3899 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3897 3900 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3898 3901 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3899 3902 Collins.
3900 3903
3901 3904 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3902 3905
3903 3906 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3904 3907
3905 3908 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3906 3909 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3907 3910 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3908 3911
3909 3912 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3910 3913
3911 3914 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3912 3915 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3913 3916 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3914 3917 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3915 3918
3916 3919 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3917 3920 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3918 3921 __getitem__ and __call__.
3919 3922
3920 3923 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3921 3924
3922 3925 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3923 3926
3924 3927 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3925 3928 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3926 3929 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3927 3930 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3928 3931
3929 3932 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3930 3933 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3931 3934 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3932 3935 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3933 3936 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3934 3937 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3935 3938 necessary.
3936 3939
3937 3940 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3938 3941 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3939 3942 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3940 3943
3941 3944 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3942 3945 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3943 3946 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3944 3947 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3945 3948
3946 3949 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3947 3950 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3948 3951 generators.
3949 3952
3950 3953 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3951 3954 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3952 3955 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3953 3956 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3954 3957 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3955 3958 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3956 3959 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3957 3960
3958 3961 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3959 3962 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3960 3963 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3961 3964 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3962 3965 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3963 3966
3964 3967 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3965 3968 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3966 3969 edit under some circumstances.
3967 3970 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3968 3971 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3969 3972 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3970 3973 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3971 3974 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3972 3975 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3973 3976 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3974 3977 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3975 3978 need more testing.
3976 3979
3977 3980 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3978 3981
3979 3982 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3980 3983 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3981 3984 and simpler code.
3982 3985
3983 3986 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3984 3987
3985 3988 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3986 3989 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3987 3990 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3988 3991 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3989 3992 even if they were contiguous.
3990 3993 (l1norm): Added this function.
3991 3994 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3992 3995 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3993 3996 and speed.
3994 3997
3995 3998 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3996 3999
3997 4000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3998 4001 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3999 4002 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4000 4003
4001 4004 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4002 4005
4003 4006 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4004 4007 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4005 4008 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4006 4009
4007 4010 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4008 4011 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4009 4012 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4010 4013
4011 4014 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4012 4015
4013 4016 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4014 4017 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4015 4018 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4016 4019 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4017 4020 activity.
4018 4021
4019 4022 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4020 4023
4021 4024 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4022 4025 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4023 4026 Numeric.identity)
4024 4027
4025 4028 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4026 4029
4027 4030 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4028 4031 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4029 4032 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4030 4033
4031 4034 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4035
4033 4036 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4034 4037 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4035 4038 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4036 4039 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4037 4040
4038 4041 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4039 4042 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4040 4043 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4041 4044 is implemented).
4042 4045
4043 4046 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4044 4047
4045 4048 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4046 4049 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4047 4050 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4048 4051
4049 4052 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4050 4053 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4051 4054 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4052 4055 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4053 4056 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4054 4057
4055 4058 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4056 4059
4057 4060 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4058 4061
4059 4062 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4060 4063 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4061 4064 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4062 4065
4063 4066 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4064 4067
4065 4068 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4066 4069 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4067 4070 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4068 4071
4069 4072 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4070 4073 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4071 4074 crash report from Prabhu.
4072 4075
4073 4076 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4074 4077
4075 4078 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4076 4079 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4077 4080 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4078 4081 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4079 4082 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4080 4083 also be useful in other cases.
4081 4084
4082 4085 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4083 4086 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4084 4087 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4085 4088
4086 4089 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4087 4090
4088 4091 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4089 4092
4090 4093 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4091 4094 installing for a new user under Windows.
4092 4095
4093 4096 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4097
4095 4098 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4096 4099 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4097 4100 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4098 4101 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4099 4102 there.
4100 4103
4101 4104 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4102 4105 info to crash reports.
4103 4106
4104 4107 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4105 4108 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4106 4109 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4107 4110 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4108 4111
4109 4112 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4110 4113
4111 4114 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4112 4115 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4113 4116 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4114 4117 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4115 4118
4116 4119 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4117 4120
4118 4121 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4119 4122 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4120 4123
4121 4124 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4125
4123 4126 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4124 4127 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4125 4128
4126 4129 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4127 4130
4128 4131 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4129 4132
4130 4133 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4131 4134 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4132 4135 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4133 4136
4134 4137 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4135 4138 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4136 4139 with the new auto-indent option.
4137 4140
4138 4141 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4139 4142
4140 4143 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4141 4144 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4142 4145 this class from the main Shell class.
4143 4146
4144 4147 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4145 4148 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4146 4149 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4147 4150 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4148 4151 option).
4149 4152
4150 4153 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4151 4154 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4152 4155 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4153 4156 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4154 4157 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4155 4158
4156 4159 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4157 4160 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4158 4161 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4159 4162
4160 4163 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4161 4164 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4162 4165 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4163 4166 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4164 4167 tracebacks.
4165 4168
4166 4169 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4167 4170 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4168 4171 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4169 4172
4170 4173 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4171 4174
4172 4175 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4173 4176 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4174 4177 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4175 4178 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4176 4179
4177 4180 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4178 4181
4179 4182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4180 4183 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4181 4184 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4182 4185 for the bug report.
4183 4186
4184 4187 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4185 4188
4186 4189 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4187 4190 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4188 4191 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4189 4192 report.
4190 4193
4191 4194 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4192 4195
4193 4196 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4194 4197 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4195 4198 end).
4196 4199
4197 4200 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4198 4201 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4199 4202 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4200 4203
4201 4204 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4202 4205
4203 4206 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4204 4207 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4205 4208 for the patch.
4206 4209
4207 4210 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4208 4211
4209 4212 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4210 4213 functions.
4211 4214

4214 4217 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4215 4218
4216 4219 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4217 4220 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4218 4221 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4219 4222 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4220 4223 private fix.
4221 4224
4222 4225 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4223 4226 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4224 4227 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4225 4228 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4226 4229 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4227 4230 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4228 4231 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4229 4232 fixed for this setup.
4230 4233
4231 4234 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4232 4235 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4233 4236
4234 4237 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4235 4238
4236 4239 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4237 4240
4238 4241 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4239 4242 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4240 4243 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4241 4244 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4242 4245 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4243 4246 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4244 4247 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4245 4248 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4246 4249 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4247 4250
4248 4251 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4249 4252 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4250 4253 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4251 4254
4252 4255 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4253 4256
4254 4257 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4255 4258
4256 4259 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4257 4260 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4258 4261 pickle-related issue in @run).
4259 4262
4260 4263 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4261 4264
4262 4265 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4263 4266 the autocall option at runtime.
4264 4267 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4265 4268 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4266 4269 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4267 4270 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4268 4271 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4269 4272 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4270 4273 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4271 4274 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4272 4275 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4273 4276 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4274 4277 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4275 4278 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4276 4279 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4277 4280 pickles to save something sensible.
4278 4281
4279 4282 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4280 4283
4281 4284 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4282 4285 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4283 4286 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4284 4287
4285 4288 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4286 4289
4287 4290 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4288 4291 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4289 4292
4290 4293 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4291 4294
4292 4295 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4293 4296 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4294 4297 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4295 4298 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4296 4299
4297 4300 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4298 4301
4299 4302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4300 4303 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4301 4304 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4302 4305 array is non-contiguous.
4303 4306
4304 4307 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4305 4308
4306 4309 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4307 4310 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4308 4311 executed).
4309 4312 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4310 4313 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4311 4314 output.
4312 4315 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4313 4316 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4314 4317 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4315 4318 changing.
4316 4319
4317 4320 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4318 4321
4319 4322 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4320 4323
4321 4324 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4322 4325 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4323 4326 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4324 4327 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4325 4328 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4326 4329 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4327 4330 like a normal command-line.
4328 4331
4329 4332 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4330 4333 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4331 4334 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4332 4335 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4333 4336
4334 4337 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4335 4338
4336 4339 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4337 4340 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4338 4341 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4339 4342 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4340 4343
4341 4344 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4342 4345
4343 4346 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4344 4347 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4345 4348 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4346 4349 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4347 4350 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4348 4351 think it's worth doing.

4352 4355 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4353 4356
4354 4357 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4355 4358 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4356 4359
4357 4360 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4358 4361 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4359 4362 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4360 4363 also work ok.

4364 4367 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4365 4368
4366 4369 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4367 4370
4368 4371 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4369 4372 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4370 4373 of gnuplot data files.
4371 4374
4372 4375 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4373 4376
4374 4377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4375 4378 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4376 4379
4377 4380 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4378 4381
4379 4382 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4380 4383 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4381 4384 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4382 4385 for pointing this out.
4383 4386
4384 4387 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4385 4388
4386 4389 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4387 4390
4388 4391 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4389 4392 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4390 4393 Interactive.
4391 4394
4392 4395 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4393 4396 being imported from iplib.
4394 4397
4395 4398 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4396 4399 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4397 4400 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4398 4401 common name.
4399 4402
4400 4403 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4401 4404 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4402 4405
4403 4406 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4404 4407 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4405 4408
4406 4409 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4407 4410 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4408 4411 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4409 4412 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4410 4413 docstrings).
4411 4414
4412 4415 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4413 4416
4414 4417 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4415 4418 (inconsistent with options).
4416 4419
4417 4420 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4418 4421 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4419 4422 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4420 4423 eps output.

4424 4427 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4425 4428 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4426 4429 Pinard.
4427 4430
4428 4431 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4429 4432
4430 4433 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4431 4434 history file for new users.
4432 4435 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4433 4436 user running in the .ipython dir.
4434 4437 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4435 4438 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4436 4439 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4437 4440
4438 4441 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4439 4442 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4440 4443 consistently.
4441 4444
4442 4445 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4443 4446 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4444 4447 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4445 4448 libraries I don't have access to.
4446 4449
4447 4450 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4448 4451 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4449 4452 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4450 4453 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4451 4454 report.
4452 4455
4453 4456 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4454 4457
4455 4458 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4456 4459 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4457 4460 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4458 4461 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4459 4462
4460 4463 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4461 4464
4462 4465 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4463 4466 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4464 4467 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4465 4468 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4466 4469 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4467 4470 instance has been created.
4468 4471
4469 4472 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4470 4473 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4471 4474 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4472 4475 dict by hand.
4473 4476
4474 4477 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4475 4478
4476 4479 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4477 4480 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4478 4481 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4479 4482 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4480 4483 broken.
4481 4484
4482 4485 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4483 4486 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4484 4487 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4485 4488 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4486 4489
4487 4490 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4488 4491 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4489 4492 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4490 4493 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4491 4494 is a valid one.
4492 4495
4493 4496 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4494 4497 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4495 4498 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4496 4499
4497 4500 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4498 4501 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4499 4502 simply leftover junk.
4500 4503
4501 4504 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4502 4505
4503 4506 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4504 4507 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4505 4508 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4506 4509
4507 4510 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4508 4511 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4509 4512 exceptions.
4510 4513
4511 4514 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4512 4515
4513 4516 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4514 4517 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4515 4518 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4516 4519 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4517 4520 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4518 4521
4519 4522 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4520 4523 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4521 4524
4522 4525 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4523 4526 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4524 4527 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4525 4528 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4526 4529 problem mentioned below.
4527 4530
4528 4531 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4529 4532
4530 4533 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4531 4534 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4532 4535
4533 4536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4534 4537 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4535 4538 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4536 4539 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4537 4540 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4538 4541
4539 4542 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4540 4543 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4541 4544 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4542 4545 actual function names.
4543 4546
4544 4547 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4545 4548 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4546 4549 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4547 4550 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4548 4551 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4549 4552 really be only function/method names.
4550 4553
4551 4554 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4552 4555
4553 4556 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4554 4557 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4555 4558 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4556 4559
4557 4560 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4558 4561
4559 4562 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4560 4563 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4561 4564 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4562 4565
4563 4566 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4564 4567 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4565 4568
4566 4569 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4567 4570 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4568 4571 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4569 4572
4570 4573 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4571 4574 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4572 4575 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4573 4576
4574 4577 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4575 4578 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4576 4579 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4577 4580
4578 4581 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4579 4582
4580 4583 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4581 4584 Gnuplot.File objects.
4582 4585
4583 4586 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4584 4587
4585 4588 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4586 4589 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4587 4590 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4588 4591
4589 4592 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4590 4593
4591 4594 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4592 4595 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4593 4596
4594 4597 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4595 4598 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4596 4599
4597 4600 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4598 4601 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4599 4602
4600 4603 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4601 4604
4602 4605 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4603 4606 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4604 4607 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4605 4608 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4606 4609
4607 4610 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4608 4611
4609 4612 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4610 4613 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4611 4614 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4612 4615
4613 4616 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4614 4617
4615 4618 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4616 4619 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4617 4620 workaround).
4618 4621
4619 4622 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4620 4623
4621 4624 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4622 4625 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4623 4626
4624 4627 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4625 4628
4626 4629 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4627 4630 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4628 4631
4629 4632 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4630 4633 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4631 4634 .strip() is called on it.
4632 4635
4633 4636
4634 4637 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4635 4638
4636 4639 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4637 4640 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4638 4641 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4639 4642
4640 4643 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4641 4644 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4642 4645
4643 4646 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4644 4647 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4645 4648 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4646 4649
4647 4650 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4648 4651
4649 4652 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4650 4653 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4651 4654 __main__.
4652 4655
4653 4656 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4654 4657 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4655 4658
4656 4659 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4657 4660 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4658 4661 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4659 4662 Mathematica behaves.
4660 4663
4661 4664 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4665
4663 4666 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4664 4667 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4665 4668
4666 4669 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4667 4670 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4668 4671 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4669 4672
4670 4673 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4671 4674 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4672 4675
4673 4676 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4674 4677
4675 4678 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4676 4679 underflow problems in Numeric.
4677 4680 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4678 4681 for exact integer powers of 2.
4679 4682
4680 4683 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4681 4684 properly.
4682 4685
4683 4686 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4684 4687
4685 4688 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4686 4689 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4687 4690
4688 4691 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4689 4692
4690 4693 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4691 4694 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4692 4695
4693 4696 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4697
4695 4698 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4696 4699 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4697 4700 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4698 4701 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4699 4702 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4700 4703 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4701 4704 times).
4702 4705
4703 4706 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4704 4707 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4705 4708 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4706 4709
4707 4710 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4708 4711
4709 4712 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4710 4713 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4711 4714 embedded code.
4712 4715
4713 4716 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4714 4717 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4715 4718 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4716 4719
4717 4720 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4718 4721 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4719 4722 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4720 4723 less special-casing to remember.
4721 4724
4722 4725 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4726
4724 4727 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4725 4728 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4726 4729 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4727 4730 arg is not a defined object.
4728 4731 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4729 4732 a Mike Heeter idea.
4730 4733
4731 4734 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4732 4735 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4733 4736 interactive use.
4734 4737
4735 4738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4736 4739 filenames.
4737 4740
4738 4741 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4742
4740 4743 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4741 4744 initialization via another struct.
4742 4745
4743 4746 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4744 4747 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4745 4748
4746 4749 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4747 4750
4748 4751 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4749 4752 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4750 4753 too big).
4751 4754
4752 4755 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4753 4756
4754 4757 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4755 4758 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4756 4759 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4757 4760 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4758 4761
4759 4762 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4760 4763
4761 4764 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4762 4765 macros having broken.
4763 4766
4764 4767 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4765 4768
4766 4769 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4767 4770 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4768 4771 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4769 4772 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4770 4773 not to lists.
4771 4774
4772 4775 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4776
4774 4777 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4775 4778 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4776 4779 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4777 4780
4778 4781 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4779 4782 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4780 4783
4781 4784 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4782 4785 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4783 4786 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4784 4787
4785 4788 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4786 4789 triple-quoted strings.
4787 4790
4788 4791 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4789 4792 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4790 4793 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4791 4794 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4792 4795 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4793 4796 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4794 4797
4795 4798 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4796 4799
4797 4800 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4798 4801 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4799 4802 ultraTB).
4800 4803
4801 4804 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4802 4805
4803 4806 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4804 4807 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4805 4808 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4806 4809 user's 'g' variables).
4807 4810
4808 4811 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4809 4812 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4810 4813 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4811 4814 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4812 4815 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4813 4816 macros.
4814 4817
4815 4818 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4816 4819
4817 4820 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4818 4821 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4819 4822
4820 4823 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4821 4824 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4822 4825 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4823 4826
4824 4827 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4825 4828
4826 4829 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4827 4830 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4828 4831 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4829 4832 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4830 4833 aliases.
4831 4834
4832 4835 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4833 4836
4834 4837 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4835 4838 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4836 4839 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4837 4840 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4838 4841
4839 4842 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4840 4843
4841 4844 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4842 4845 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4843 4846 user-defined functions overrode them.
4844 4847
4845 4848 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4849
4847 4850 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4848 4851 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4849 4852
4850 4853 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4851 4854
4852 4855 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4853 4856 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4854 4857 IPython.
4855 4858
4856 4859 * Released 0.2.13
4857 4860
4858 4861 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4859 4862 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4860 4863 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4861 4864 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4862 4865
4863 4866 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4864 4867
4865 4868 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4866 4869 magic properly formatted for screen.
4867 4870
4868 4871 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4869 4872 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4870 4873
4871 4874 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4872 4875 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4873 4876 etc.)
4874 4877
4875 4878 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4876 4879
4877 4880 * Released 0.2.12
4878 4881
4879 4882 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4880 4883
4881 4884 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4882 4885 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4883 4886 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4884 4887 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4885 4888 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4886 4889 an alias to @run -i.
4887 4890
4888 4891 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4889 4892 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4890 4893
4891 4894 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4892 4895
4893 4896 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4894 4897 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4895 4898 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4896 4899
4897 4900 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4898 4901 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4899 4902 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4900 4903 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4901 4904 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4902 4905 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4903 4906 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4904 4907
4905 4908 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4906 4909
4907 4910 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4908 4911 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4909 4912 printed).
4910 4913
4911 4914 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4912 4915 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4913 4916 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4914 4917
4915 4918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4916 4919 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4917 4920
4918 4921 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4919 4922 handle magic commands in them.
4920 4923 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4921 4924 ~/mylog' now works.
4922 4925
4923 4926 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4924 4927 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4925 4928
4926 4929 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4927 4930
4928 4931 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4929 4932 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4930 4933
4931 4934 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4932 4935 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4933 4936 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4934 4937 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4935 4938 variables are in the context of an exception.
4936 4939 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4937 4940 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4938 4941
4939 4942 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4940 4943 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4941 4944
4942 4945 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4943 4946
4944 4947 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4945 4948 magics can parse options easier.
4946 4949 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4947 4950 suggested by Chris Hart.
4948 4951 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4949 4952 directory actually is in history.
4950 4953
4951 4954 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4952 4955 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4953 4956 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4954 4957
4955 4958 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4956 4959 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4957 4960 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4958 4961 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4959 4962
4960 4963 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4961 4964
4962 4965 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4963 4966 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4964 4967
4965 4968 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4966 4969 text (was a bug).
4967 4970
4968 4971 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4969 4972
4970 4973 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4971 4974 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4972 4975 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4973 4976
4974 4977 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4975 4978
4976 4979 * Released 0.2.10
4977 4980
4978 4981 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4979 4982
4980 4983 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4981 4984 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4982 4985
4983 4986 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4984 4987
4985 4988 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4986 4989 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4987 4990
4988 4991 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4989 4992
4990 4993 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4991 4994 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4992 4995 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4993 4996 __init__.py)
4994 4997
4995 4998 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4996 4999
4997 5000 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4998 5001 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4999 5002 test for being inside IPython.
5000 5003
5001 5004 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5002 5005 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5003 5006 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5004 5007 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5005 5008
5006 5009 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5007 5010
5008 5011 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5009 5012 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5010 5013 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5011 5014
5012 5015 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5013 5016 embedding example to standard user directory for
5014 5017 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5015 5018
5016 5019 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5017 5020 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5018 5021 hidden global).
5019 5022
5020 5023 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5021 5024 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5022 5025 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5023 5026 case.
5024 5027
5025 5028 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5026 5029
5027 5030 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5028 5031 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5029 5032 start.
5030 5033
5031 5034 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5032 5035 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5033 5036 Numeric or math.
5034 5037
5035 5038 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5036 5039 provided profiles. Now we have:
5037 5040 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5038 5041 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5039 5042 -physics -> same as before
5040 5043
5041 5044 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5042 5045 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5043 5046 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5044 5047 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5045 5048 string adds).
5046 5049
5047 5050 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5048 5051 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5049 5052 line with the gnuplot code).
5050 5053
5051 5054 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5052 5055
5053 5056 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5054 5057 all included files change.
5055 5058
5056 5059 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5057 5060 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5058 5061
5059 5062 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5060 5063 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5061 5064 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5062 5065
5063 5066 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5064 5067 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5065 5068
5066 5069 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5067 5070 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5068 5071
5069 5072 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5070 5073 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5071 5074 now accessible.
5072 5075
5073 5076 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5074 5077 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5075 5078 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5076 5079 removed.
5077 5080 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5078 5081 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5079 5082 don't crash.
5080 5083 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5081 5084 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5082 5085 remains available.
5083 5086
5084 5087 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5085 5088
5086 5089 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5087 5090
5088 5091 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5089 5092
5090 5093 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5091 5094 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5092 5095 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5093 5096 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5094 5097
5095 5098 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5096 5099
5097 5100 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5098 5101 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5099 5102 sync with the output counter.
5100 5103
5101 5104 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5102 5105 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5103 5106
5104 5107 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5105 5108
5106 5109 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5107 5110 readline, fix it back after each call.
5108 5111
5109 5112 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5110 5113 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5111 5114 traceback references are properly deleted.
5112 5115
5113 5116 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5114 5117 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5115 5118
5116 5119 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5117 5120
5118 5121 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5119 5122 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5120 5123 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5121 5124 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5122 5125 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5123 5126 to catch SystemExit).
5124 5127
5125 5128 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5126 5129 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5127 5130 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5128 5131 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5129 5132 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5130 5133 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5131 5134
5132 5135 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5133 5136
5134 5137 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5135 5138 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5136 5139 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5137 5140
5138 5141 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5139 5142 configurable (it should have always been so).
5140 5143
5141 5144 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5142 5145
5143 5146 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5144 5147 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5145 5148 done in a more elegant way.
5146 5149
5147 5150 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5148 5151
5149 5152 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5150 5153 win9x also.
5151 5154
5152 5155 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5153 5156
5154 5157 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5155 5158 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5156 5159
5157 5160 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5158 5161
5159 5162 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5160 5163
5161 5164 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5162 5165 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5163 5166
5164 5167 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5165 5168 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5166 5169
5167 5170 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5168 5171 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5169 5172
5170 5173 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5171 5174 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5172 5175
5173 5176 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5174 5177
5175 5178 * Released 0.2.8
5176 5179
5177 5180 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5178 5181 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5179 5182 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5180 5183 on' so that the first tab completes.
5181 5184 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5182 5185 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5183 5186
5184 5187 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5185 5188 installation.
5186 5189
5187 5190 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5188 5191 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5189 5192
5190 5193 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5191 5194
5192 5195 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5193 5196 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5194 5197 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5195 5198
5196 5199 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5197 5200 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5198 5201
5199 5202 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5200 5203 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5201 5204 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5202 5205 suggestion.
5203 5206
5204 5207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5205 5208 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5206 5209 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5207 5210
5208 5211 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5209 5212 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5210 5213
5211 5214 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5212 5215
5213 5216 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5214 5217 which properly handles things for windows users.
5215 5218
5216 5219 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5217 5220
5218 5221 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5219 5222 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5220 5223 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5221 5224 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5222 5225 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5223 5226
5224 5227 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5225 5228
5226 5229 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5227 5230
5228 5231 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5229 5232 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5230 5233
5231 5234 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5232 5235
5233 5236 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5234 5237 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5235 5238 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5236 5239 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5237 5240 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5238 5241 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5239 5242
5240 5243 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5241 5244
5242 5245 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5243 5246 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5244 5247
5245 5248 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5246 5249 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5247 5250 cache at 20 values.
5248 5251
5249 5252 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5250 5253 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5251 5254 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5252 5255 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5253 5256
5254 5257 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5255 5258 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5256 5259 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5257 5260 'file show').
5258 5261
5259 5262 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5260 5263 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5261 5264
5262 5265 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5263 5266 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5264 5267 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5265 5268
5266 5269 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5267 5270 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5268 5271 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5269 5272 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5270 5273
5271 5274 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5272 5275 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5273 5276 the prompt strings.
5274 5277
5275 5278 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5276 5279
5277 5280 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5278 5281 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5279 5282
5280 5283 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5281 5284 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5282 5285 either globally or at each call.
5283 5286
5284 5287 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5285 5288 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5286 5289 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5287 5290 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5288 5291
5289 5292 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5293
5291 5294 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5292 5295 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5293 5296
5294 5297 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5295 5298
5296 5299 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5297 5300 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5298 5301 learning some lisp...
5299 5302
5300 5303 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5301 5304
5302 5305 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5303 5306 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5304 5307 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5305 5308 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5306 5309
5307 5310 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5308 5311 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5309 5312 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5310 5313
5311 5314 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5312 5315
5313 5316 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5314 5317 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5315 5318 control to emacs users.
5316 5319
5317 5320 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5318 5321 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5319 5322 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5320 5323 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5321 5324 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5322 5325 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5323 5326
5324 5327 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5325 5328
5326 5329 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5327 5330
5328 5331 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5329 5332 @logstate magic was created.
5330 5333
5331 5334 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5332 5335 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5333 5336
5334 5337 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5335 5338
5336 5339 * Released 0.2.6.
5337 5340
5338 5341 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5339 5342 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5340 5343
5341 5344 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5342 5345 SciPy.
5343 5346
5344 5347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5345 5348 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5346 5349 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5347 5350 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5348 5351 the section on embedding and the example file.
5349 5352
5350 5353 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5351 5354 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5352 5355 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5353 5356
5354 5357 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5355 5358 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5356 5359 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5357 5360
5358 5361 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5359 5362 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5360 5363 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5361 5364 for this to work.
5362 5365
5363 5366 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5364 5367
5365 5368 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5366 5369 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5367 5370 well inside Emacs buffers.
5368 5371 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5369 5372 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5370 5373 same bug in iplib.
5371 5374
5372 5375 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5373 5376
5374 5377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5375 5378 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5376 5379
5377 5380 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5378 5381 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5379 5382 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5380 5383
5381 5384 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5382 5385 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5383 5386 display is done.
5384 5387
5385 5388 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5386 5389 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5387 5390
5388 5391 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5389 5392 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5390 5393 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5391 5394 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5392 5395 like in Octave.
5393 5396
5394 5397 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5395 5398 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5396 5399
5397 5400 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5398 5401
5399 5402 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5400 5403 whole file a little.
5401 5404
5402 5405 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5403 5406 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5404 5407 end-user distro.
5405 5408
5406 5409 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5407 5410 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5408 5411 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5409 5412
5410 5413 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5411 5414 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5412 5415
5413 5416 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5414 5417 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5415 5418 for @file.
5416 5419
5417 5420 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5418 5421 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5419 5422 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5420 5423 the code a bit easier.
5421 5424
5422 5425 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5423 5426 information to crash reports.
5424 5427
5425 5428 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5426 5429
5427 5430 * Released 0.2.5.
5428 5431
5429 5432 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5430 5433
5431 5434 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5432 5435 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5433 5436 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5434 5437
5435 5438 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5436 5439
5437 5440 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5438 5441 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5439 5442 have thigs work as expected.
5440 5443
5441 5444 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5442 5445 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5443 5446 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5444 5447 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5445 5448 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5446 5449
5447 5450 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5448 5451 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5449 5452
5450 5453 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5451 5454
5452 5455 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5453 5456 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5454 5457
5455 5458 * README and manual updates.
5456 5459
5457 5460 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5458 5461 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5459 5462
5460 5463 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5461 5464 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5462 5465
5463 5466 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5464 5467 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5465 5468 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5466 5469 extension-less files.
5467 5470
5468 5471 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5469 5472 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5470 5473 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5471 5474
5472 5475 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5473 5476 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5474 5477
5475 5478 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5476 5479 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5477 5480 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5478 5481 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5479 5482 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5480 5483 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5481 5484 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5482 5485 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5483 5486 least make manually a shortcut.
5484 5487
5485 5488 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5486 5489 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5487 5490 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5488 5491 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5489 5492 runtime, with @colors.
5490 5493 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5491 5494 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5492 5495
5493 5496 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5494 5497
5495 5498 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5496 5499 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5497 5500 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5498 5501 read the startup info.
5499 5502
5500 5503 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5501 5504
5502 5505 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5503 5506 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5504 5507 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5505 5508 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5506 5509 type the better off we are.
5507 5510 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5508 5511 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5509 5512 before.
5510 5513
5511 5514 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5512 5515
5513 5516 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5514 5517 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5515 5518 this later.
5516 5519
5517 5520 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5518 5521
5519 5522 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5520 5523 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5521 5524 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5522 5525
5523 5526 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5524 5527
5525 5528 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5526 5529 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5527 5530 spitting out only offset information as before.
5528 5531 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5529 5532 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5530 5533
5531 5534 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5532 5535
5533 5536 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5534 5537 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5535 5538 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5536 5539 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5537 5540 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5538 5541 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5539 5542 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5540 5543 macros.
5541 5544
5542 5545 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5543 5546
5544 5547 * Released 0.2.4.
5545 5548
5546 5549 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5547 5550 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5548 5551 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5549 5552 re-execution.
5550 5553
5551 5554 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5552 5555
5553 5556 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5554 5557 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5555 5558 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5556 5559 documented, of course :)
5557 5560 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5558 5561 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5559 5562 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5560 5563
5561 5564 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5562 5565
5563 5566 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5564 5567 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5565 5568 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5566 5569
5567 5570 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5568 5571
5569 5572 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5570 5573 so I wanted an updated release).
5571 5574
5572 5575 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5576
5574 5577 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5575 5578 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5576 5579 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5577 5580 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5578 5581 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5579 5582
5580 5583 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5581 5584
5582 5585 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5583 5586 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5584 5587
5585 5588 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5586 5589
5587 5590 * Released 0.2.2.
5588 5591
5589 5592 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5590 5593 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5591 5594 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5592 5595 versions.
5593 5596
5594 5597 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5595 5598 (MayaVi author).
5596 5599
5597 5600 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5598 5601
5599 5602 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5600 5603 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5601 5604 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5602 5605 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5603 5606 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5604 5607
5605 5608 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5606 5609 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5607 5610
5608 5611 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5609 5612
5610 5613 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5611 5614 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5612 5615 nice, full-blown manual.
5613 5616
5614 5617 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5615 5618 trivially simple for end-users.
5616 5619
5617 5620 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5618 5621
5619 5622 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5620 5623 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5621 5624
5622 5625 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5623 5626 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5624 5627
5625 5628 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5626 5629
5627 5630 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5628 5631 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5629 5632 people to later upgrade versions.
5630 5633
5631 5634 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5632 5635 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5633 5636 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5634 5637 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5635 5638 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5636 5639 SystemExit).
5637 5640
5638 5641 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5639 5642 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5640 5643 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5641 5644 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5642 5645 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5643 5646
5644 5647 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5645 5648 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5646 5649 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5647 5650
5648 5651 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5649 5652
5650 5653 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5651 5654 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5652 5655
5653 5656 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5654 5657 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5655 5658 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5656 5659 html docs out of it will be found).
5657 5660
5658 5661 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5659 5662
5660 5663 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5661 5664 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5662 5665
5663 5666 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5664 5667
5665 5668 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5666 5669 visiting any directory in _dh.
5667 5670
5668 5671 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5669 5672 it out with numbers.
5670 5673
5671 5674 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5672 5675
5673 5676 * Released 0.1.22
5674 5677
5675 5678 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5676 5679 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5677 5680
5678 5681 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5679 5682 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5680 5683 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5681 5684 screen the necessary mail command.
5682 5685
5683 5686 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5684 5687 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5685 5688 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5686 5689
5687 5690 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5688 5691
5689 5692 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5690 5693 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5691 5694 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5692 5695 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5693 5696 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5694 5697 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5695 5698 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5696 5699 its name).
5697 5700
5698 5701 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5699 5702 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5700 5703 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5701 5704 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5702 5705
5703 5706 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5704 5707
5705 5708 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5706 5709 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5707 5710
5708 5711 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5709 5712 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5710 5713
5711 5714 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5712 5715 completion of @-starting lines.
5713 5716
5714 5717 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5715 5718 info that other files can read from.
5716 5719
5717 5720 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5718 5721 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5719 5722 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5720 5723 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5721 5724 restores produce less errors.
5722 5725
5723 5726 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5724 5727 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5725 5728 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5726 5729 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5727 5730 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5728 5731
5729 5732 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5730 5733 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5731 5734 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5732 5735 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5733 5736 with this, finally...
5734 5737
5735 5738 * Small documentation updates.
5736 5739
5737 5740 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5738 5741 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5739 5742 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5740 5743
5741 5744 * File renaming:
5742 5745 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5743 5746 ipplib --> iplib
5744 5747 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5745 5748
5746 5749 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5747 5750 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5748 5751 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5749 5752
5750 5753 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5751 5754 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5752 5755 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5753 5756
5754 5757 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5755 5758
5756 5759 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5757 5760 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5758 5761 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5759 5762 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5760 5763
5761 5764 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5762 5765 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5763 5766 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5764 5767
5765 5768 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5766 5769 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5767 5770 road.
5768 5771
5769 5772 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5770 5773 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5771 5774 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5772 5775 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5773 5776
5774 5777 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5775 5778
5776 5779 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5777 5780 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5778 5781 file accordingly.
5779 5782
5780 5783 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5781 5784 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5782 5785 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5783 5786 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5784 5787 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5785 5788 separators and proper padding and justification.
5786 5789
5787 5790 * Released 0.1.20
5788 5791
5789 5792 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5790 5793 copy operation was missing).
5791 5794
5792 5795 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5793 5796 its output is always quite long.
5794 5797
5795 5798 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5796 5799 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5797 5800 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5798 5801 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5799 5802
5800 5803 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5801 5804 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5802 5805 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5803 5806 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5804 5807
5805 5808 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5806 5809
5807 5810 * Released 0.1.19
5808 5811
5809 5812 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5810 5813 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5811 5814
5812 5815 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5813 5816 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5814 5817 comment on 'macros').
5815 5818
5816 5819 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5817 5820
5818 5821 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5819 5822 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5820 5823 statements and takes parameters.
5821 5824
5822 5825 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5823 5826
5824 5827 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5825 5828
5826 5829 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5827 5830
5828 5831 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5829 5832 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5830 5833
5831 5834 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5832 5835 ipythonrc-* samples.
5833 5836
5834 5837 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5835 5838 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5836 5839
5837 5840 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5838 5841 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5839 5842
5840 5843 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5841 5844
5842 5845 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5843 5846 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5844 5847 convention.
5845 5848
5846 5849 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5847 5850 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5848 5851
5849 5852 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5850 5853
5851 5854 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5852 5855 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5853 5856
5854 5857 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5855 5858 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5856 5859 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5857 5860 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5858 5861 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5859 5862 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5860 5863 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5861 5864 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5862 5865 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5863 5866 works.
5864 5867
5865 5868 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5866 5869
5867 5870 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5868 5871 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5869 5872 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5870 5873 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5871 5874 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5872 5875 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5873 5876 all the editors, less does that.
5874 5877
5875 5878 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5876 5879
5877 5880 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5878 5881 crash IPython.
5879 5882
5880 5883 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5881 5884
5882 5885 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5883 5886
5884 5887 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5885 5888 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5886 5889 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5887 5890 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5888 5891 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5889 5892 work in _ofind.
5890 5893
5891 5894 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5892 5895 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5893 5896 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5894 5897 (famous last words).
5895 5898
5896 5899 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5897 5900 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5898 5901 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5899 5902 windows).
5900 5903
5901 5904 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5902 5905 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5903 5906
5904 5907 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5905 5908 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5906 5909 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5907 5910 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5908 5911
5909 5912 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5910 5913 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5911 5914 licences and announce it.
5912 5915
5913 5916 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5914 5917 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5915 5918 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5916 5919 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5917 5920
5918 5921 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5919 5922
5920 5923 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5921 5924 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5922 5925 lists.
5923 5926
5924 5927 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5925 5928 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5926 5929 are ok.
5927 5930
5928 5931 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5929 5932 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5930 5933
5931 5934 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5932 5935 this to Nathan.
5933 5936
5934 5937 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5935 5938
5936 5939 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5937 5940 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5938 5941 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5939 5942
5940 5943 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5941 5944 accepted). Cleaner.
5942 5945
5943 5946 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5944 5947 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5945 5948 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5946 5949 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5947 5950 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5948 5951
5949 5952 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5950 5953
5951 5954 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5952 5955 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5953 5956 history after a log replay.
5954 5957
5955 5958 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5956 5959 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5957 5960 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5958 5961 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5959 5962 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5960 5963 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5961 5964
5962 5965 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5963 5966 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5964 5967 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5965 5968 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5966 5969 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5967 5970
5968 5971 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5969 5972
5970 5973 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5971 5974 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5972 5975 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5973 5976 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5974 5977 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5975 5978 one: cache_size.
5976 5979
5977 5980 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5978 5981 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5979 5982 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5980 5983 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5981 5984
5982 5985 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5983 5986 @ or not).
5984 5987
5985 5988 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5986 5989 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5987 5990 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5988 5991 about licensing).
5989 5992
5990 5993 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5991 5994
5992 5995 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5993 5996 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5994 5997
5995 5998 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5996 5999 screen size for page() operations.
5997 6000
5998 6001 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5999 6002 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6000 6003 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6001 6004 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6002 6005
6003 6006 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6004 6007 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6005 6008 option name tables are clearer.
6006 6009
6007 6010 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6008 6011 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6009 6012 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6010 6013 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6011 6014 was also changed a little to align better.
6012 6015
6013 6016 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6014 6017 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6015 6018
6016 6019 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6017 6020 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6018 6021 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6019 6022
6020 6023 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6021 6024 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6022 6025 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6023 6026 he needs it.
6024 6027
6025 6028 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6026 6029
6027 6030 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6028 6031 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6029 6032 warning on it.
6030 6033
6031 6034 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6032 6035 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6033 6036 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6034 6037 was too long).
6035 6038
6036 6039 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6037 6040 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6038 6041 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6039 6042
6040 6043 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6041 6044 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6042 6045 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6043 6046 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6044 6047 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6045 6048 function for the same task.
6046 6049
6047 6050 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6048 6051
6049 6052 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6050 6053
6051 6054 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6052 6055 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6053 6056 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6054 6057
6055 6058 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6056 6059 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6057 6060 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6058 6061
6059 6062 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6060 6063 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6061 6064 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6062 6065
6063 6066 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6064 6067
6065 6068 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6066 6069
6067 6070 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6068 6071 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6069 6072 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6070 6073
6071 6074 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6072 6075
6073 6076 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6074 6077
6075 6078 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6076 6079
6077 6080 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6078 6081 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6079 6082 maintain.
6080 6083
6081 6084 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6082 6085 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6083 6086 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6084 6087 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6085 6088 compiled and startup is much faster.
6086 6089
6087 6090 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6088 6091 while without messing too much more with the code.
6089 6092
6090 6093 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6091 6094
6092 6095 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6093 6096
6094 6097 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6095 6098 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6096 6099 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6097 6100
6098 6101 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6099 6102 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6100 6103
6101 6104 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6102 6105 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6103 6106 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6104 6107 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6105 6108 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6106 6109 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6107 6110
6108 6111 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6109 6112 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6110 6113
6111 6114 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6112 6115 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6113 6116
6114 6117 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6115 6118 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6116 6119 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6117 6120 excessive.
6118 6121
6119 6122 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6120 6123 types (only first word was displayed).
6121 6124
6122 6125 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6123 6126
6124 6127 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6125 6128
6126 6129 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6127 6130 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6128 6131 travel along many directories.
6129 6132
6130 6133 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6131 6134 arguments with default values.
6132 6135
6133 6136 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6134 6137
6135 6138 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6136 6139 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6137 6140
6138 6141 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6139 6142
6140 6143 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6141 6144 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6142 6145 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6143 6146
6144 6147 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6145 6148
6146 6149 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6147 6150 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6148 6151 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6149 6152 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6150 6153 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6151 6154 purposes.
6152 6155
6153 6156 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6154 6157 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6155 6158 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6156 6159 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6157 6160 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6158 6161 one can simply say
6159 6162 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6160 6163 or even
6161 6164 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6162 6165
6163 6166 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6164 6167 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6165 6168 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6166 6169
6167 6170 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6168 6171 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6169 6172 they were defined in
6170 6173
6171 6174 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6172 6175
6173 6176 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6174 6177 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6175 6178 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6176 6179 these to show the same information.
6177 6180
6178 6181 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6179 6182
6180 6183 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6181 6184 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6182 6185 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6183 6186 backtracked on the whole class!)
6184 6187
6185 6188 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6186 6189 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6187 6190 everything works as before).
6188 6191
6189 6192 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6190 6193 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6191 6194 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6192 6195 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6193 6196
6194 6197 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6195 6198
6196 6199 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6197 6200
6198 6201 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6199 6202 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6200 6203
6201 6204 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6202 6205 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6203 6206 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6204 6207 this later.
6205 6208
6206 6209 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6207 6210
6208 6211 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6209 6212 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6210 6213 line option.
6211 6214
6212 6215 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6213 6216 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6214 6217 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6215 6218 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6216 6219 didn't return a result).
6217 6220
6218 6221 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6219 6222
6220 6223 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6221 6224
6222 6225 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6223 6226 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6224 6227 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6225 6228 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6226 6229
6227 6230 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6228 6231
6229 6232 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6230 6233
6231 6234 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6232 6235 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6233 6236
6234 6237 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6235 6238 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6236 6239 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6237 6240 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6238 6241 in with the next entry:
6239 6242
6240 6243 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6241 6244 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6242 6245 handling.
6243 6246
6244 6247 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6245 6248 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6246 6249 namespace protection and documentation.
6247 6250
6248 6251 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6249 6252
6250 6253 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6251 6254 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6252 6255
6253 6256 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6254 6257
6255 6258 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6256 6259
6257 6260 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6258 6261
6259 6262 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6260 6263 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6261 6264 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6262 6265 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6263 6266 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6264 6267
6265 6268 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6266 6269 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6267 6270 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6268 6271
6269 6272 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6270 6273
6271 6274 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6272 6275 work with non-gnu versions of tar.

6274 6277 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6275 6278
6276 6279 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6277 6280
6278 6281 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6279 6282 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6280 6283 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6281 6284 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6282 6285 ScientificPython.
6283 6286
6284 6287 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6285 6288
6286 6289 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6287 6290 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6288 6291 when called with no args.
6289 6292
6290 6293 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6291 6294 closely.
6292 6295
6293 6296 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6294 6297 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6295 6298 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6296 6299 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6297 6300 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6298 6301
6299 6302 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6300 6303
6301 6304 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6302 6305 customizations there and access them via import.
6303 6306
6304 6307 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6305 6308
6306 6309 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6307 6310
6308 6311 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6309 6312 Nathan and Janko.
6310 6313
6311 6314 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6312 6315
6313 6316 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6314 6317 too long.
6315 6318
6316 6319 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6317 6320
6318 6321 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6319 6322 ?sin and sin?
6320 6323 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6321 6324 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6322 6325 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6323 6326 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6324 6327
6325 6328 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6326 6329
6327 6330 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6328 6331
6329 6332 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6330 6333 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6331 6334
6332 6335 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6333 6336 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6334 6337 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6335 6338 me).
6336 6339
6337 6340 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6338 6341 protected (reasonably).
6339 6342
6340 6343 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6341 6344 note through it (it was too long).
6342 6345
6343 6346 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6344 6347 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6345 6348 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6346 6349 parameters.
6347 6350
6348 6351
6349 6352 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6350 6353
6351 6354 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6352 6355 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6353 6356 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6354 6357
6355 6358 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6356 6359 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6357 6360 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6358 6361
6359 6362 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6360 6363
6361 6364 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6362 6365
6363 6366 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6364 6367
6365 6368 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6366 6369 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6367 6370 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6368 6371 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6369 6372 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6370 6373 break.
6371 6374
6372 6375 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6373 6376 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6374 6377 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6375 6378 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6376 6379 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6377 6380 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6378 6381
6379 6382 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6380 6383 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6381 6384 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6382 6385 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6383 6386 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6384 6387 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6385 6388 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6386 6389 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6387 6390 trick.
6388 6391
6389 6392 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6390 6393 session restoring.
6391 6394
6392 6395 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6393 6396 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6394 6397 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6395 6398 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6396 6399 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6397 6400
6398 6401 * Started ChangeLog.
