;;; Commentary
;; This library makes all the functionality python-mode has when running with
;; the normal python-interpreter available for ipython, too. It also enables a
;; persistent py-shell command history across sessions (if you exit python
;; with C-d in py-shell) and defines the command `ipython-to-doctest', which
;; can be used to convert bits of a ipython session into something that can be
;; used for doctests. To install, put this file somewhere in your emacs
;; `load-path' [1] and add the following line to your ~/.emacs file (the first
;; line only needed if the default (``"ipython"``) is wrong)::
;;
;; (setq ipython-command "/SOME-PATH/ipython")
;; (require 'ipython)
;;
;; Ipython will be set as the default python shell, but only if the ipython
;; executable is in the path. For ipython sessions autocompletion with <tab>
;; is also enabled (experimental feature!). Please also note that all the
;; terminal functions in py-shell are handled by emacs's comint, **not** by
;; (i)python, so importing readline etc. will have 0 effect.
;;
;; To start an interactive ipython session run `py-shell' with ``M-x py-shell``
;; (or the default keybinding ``C-c C-!``).
;;
;; You can customize the arguments passed to the IPython instance at startup by
;; setting the ``py-python-command-args`` variable. For example, to start
;; always in ``pylab`` mode with hardcoded light-background colors, you can
;; use::
;;
;; (setq py-python-command-args '("-pylab" "-colors" "LightBG"))
;;
;;
;; NOTE: This mode is currently somewhat alpha and although I hope that it
;; will work fine for most cases, doing certain things (like the
;; autocompletion and a decent scheme to switch between python interpreters)
;; properly will also require changes to ipython that will likely have to wait
;; for a larger rewrite scheduled some time in the future.
;;
;;
;; Further note that I don't know whether this runs under windows or not and
;; that if it doesn't I can't really help much, not being afflicted myself.
;;
;;
;; Hints for effective usage
;; -------------------------
;;
;; - IMO the best feature by far of the ipython/emacs combo is how much easier
;; it makes it to find and fix bugs thanks to the ``%pdb on or %debug``/
;; pdbtrack combo. Try it: first in the ipython to shell do ``%pdb on`` then
;; do something that will raise an exception (FIXME nice example), or type
;; ``%debug`` after the exception has been raised. YOu'll be amazed at how
;; easy it is to inspect the live objects in each stack frames and to jump to
;; the corresponding sourcecode locations as you walk up and down the stack
;; trace (even without ``%pdb on`` you can always use ``C-c -``
;; (`py-up-exception') to jump to the corresponding source code locations).
;;
;; - emacs gives you much more powerful commandline editing and output searching
;; capabilities than ipython-standalone -- isearch is your friend if you
;; quickly want to print 'DEBUG ...' to stdout out etc.
;;
;; - This is not really specific to ipython, but for more convenient history
;; access you might want to add something like the following to *the beggining*
;; of your ``.emacs`` (if you want behavior that's more similar to stand-alone
;; ipython, you can change ``meta p`` etc. for ``control p``)::
;;
;; (require 'comint)
;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta p)]
;; 'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input)
;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta n)]
;; 'comint-next-matching-input-from-input)
;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta n)]
;; 'comint-next-input)
;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta p)]
;; 'comint-previous-input)
;;
;; - Be aware that if you customize py-python-command previously, this value
;; will override what ipython.el does (because loading the customization
;; variables comes later).
;;
;; Please send comments and feedback to the ipython-list
;; (<ipython-user@scipy.org>) where I (a.s.) or someone else will try to
;; answer them (it helps if you specify your emacs version, OS etc;
;; familiarity with <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> might
;; speed up things further).
;;
;; Footnotes:
;;
;; [1] If you don't know what `load-path' is, C-h v load-path will tell
;; you; if required you can also add a new directory. So assuming that
;; ipython.el resides in ~/el/, put this in your emacs:
;;
;;
;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/el")
;; (setq ipython-command "/some-path/ipython")
;; (require 'ipython)
;;
;;
;;
;;
;; TODO:
;; - do autocompletion properly
;; - implement a proper switching between python interpreters
;;
;; BUGS:
;; - neither::
;;
;; (py-shell "-c print 'FOOBAR'")
;;
;; nor::
;;
;; (let ((py-python-command-args (append py-python-command-args
;; '("-c" "print 'FOOBAR'"))))
;; (py-shell))
;;
;; seem to print anything as they should
;;
;; - look into init priority issues with `py-python-command' (if it's set
;; via custom)
