# Main class implementing Magic functionality

# XXX - for some odd reason, if Magic is made a new-style class, we get errors
# on construction of the main InteractiveShell object.  Something odd is going
# on with super() calls, Configurable and the MRO... For now leave it as-is, but
# eventually this needs to be clarified.
# BG: This is because InteractiveShell inherits from this, but is itself a
# Configurable. This messes up the MRO in some way. The fix is that we need to
# make Magic a configurable that InteractiveShell does not subclass.

IPython's 'magic' functions
===========================

The magic function system provides a series of functions which allow you to
control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type
features. All these functions are prefixed with a % character, but parameters
are given without parentheses or quotes.

NOTE: If you have 'automagic' enabled (via the command line option or with the
%automagic function), you don't need to type in the % explicitly.  By default,
IPython ships with automagic on, so you should only rarely need the % escape.

Example: typing '%cd mydir' (without the quotes) changes you working directory
to 'mydir', if it exists.

For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description
of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.

Currently the magic system has the following functions:\n"""

         - on,1,True: to activate

         - off,0,False: to deactivate.

        Note that magic functions have lowest priority, so if there's a
        variable whose name collides with that of a magic fn, automagic won't

        rest of the command line must be unchanged (options come first), so
        for example the following forms are equivalent

        %psearch -i a* function
        -i a* function?
        ?-i a* function

        Arguments:

          PATTERN

          where PATTERN is a string containing * as a wildcard similar to its
          use in a shell.  The pattern is matched in all namespaces on the
          search path. By default objects starting with a single _ are not
          matched, many IPython generated objects have a single
          underscore. The default is case insensitive matching. Matching is
          also done on the attributes of objects and not only on the objects
          in a module.

          [OBJECT TYPE]

          Is the name of a python type from the types module. The name is
          given in lowercase without the ending type, ex. StringType is
          written string. By adding a type here only objects matching the
          given type are matched. Using all here makes the pattern match all
          types (this is the default).

        Options:

          -a: makes the pattern match even objects whose names start with a
          single underscore.  These names are normally omitted from the
          search.

          -i/-c: make the pattern case insensitive/sensitive.  If neither of
          these options are given, the default is read from your configuration
          file, with the option ``InteractiveShell.wildcards_case_sensitive``.
          If this option is not specified in your configuration file, IPython's
          internal default is to do a case sensitive search.

          -e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace.  The pattern you
          specify can be searched in any of the following namespaces:
          'builtin', 'user', 'user_global','internal', 'alias', where
          'builtin' and 'user' are the search defaults.  Note that you should
          not use quotes when specifying namespaces.

          'Builtin' contains the python module builtin, 'user' contains all
          user data, 'alias' only contain the shell aliases and no python
          objects, 'internal' contains objects used by IPython.  The
          'user_global' namespace is only used by embedded IPython instances,
          and it contains module-level globals.  You can add namespaces to the
          search with -s or exclude them with -e (these options can be given
          more than once).

          Since this marker is always the same, filtering only the output from
          a log is very easy, using for example a simple awk call::

        Usage:
          %prun [options] statement

        The given statement (which doesn't require quote marks) is run via the
        python profiler in a manner similar to the profile.run() function.
        Namespaces are internally managed to work correctly; profile.run
        cannot be used in IPython because it makes certain assumptions about
        namespaces which do not hold under IPython.

        Options:

        -l <limit>: you can place restrictions on what or how much of the
        profile gets printed. The limit value can be:

          * A string: only information for function names containing this string
          is printed.

          * An integer: only these many lines are printed.

          * A float (between 0 and 1): this fraction of the report is printed
          (for example, use a limit of 0.4 to see the topmost 40% only).

        You can combine several limits with repeated use of the option. For
        example, '-l __init__ -l 5' will print only the topmost 5 lines of
        information about class constructors.

        -r: return the pstats.Stats object generated by the profiling. This
        object has all the information about the profile in it, and you can
        later use it for further analysis or in other functions.

       -s <key>: sort profile by given key. You can provide more than one key
        by using the option several times: '-s key1 -s key2 -s key3...'. The
        default sorting key is 'time'.

        The following is copied verbatim from the profile documentation
        referenced below:

        When more than one key is provided, additional keys are used as
        secondary criteria when the there is equality in all keys selected
        before them.

        Abbreviations can be used for any key names, as long as the
        abbreviation is unambiguous.  The following are the keys currently
        defined:

                Valid Arg       Meaning
                  "calls"      call count
                  "cumulative" cumulative time
                  "file"       file name
                  "module"     file name
                  "pcalls"     primitive call count
                  "line"       line number
                  "name"       function name
                  "nfl"        name/file/line
                  "stdname"    standard name
                  "time"       internal time

        Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing
        most time consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number
        searches are in ascending order (i.e., alphabetical). The subtle
        distinction between "nfl" and "stdname" is that the standard name is a
        sort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line
        numbers get compared in an odd way.  For example, lines 3, 20, and 40
        would (if the file names were the same) appear in the string order
        "20" "3" and "40".  In contrast, "nfl" does a numeric compare of the
        line numbers.  In fact, sort_stats("nfl") is the same as
        sort_stats("name", "file", "line").

        -T <filename>: save profile results as shown on screen to a text
        file. The profile is still shown on screen.

        -D <filename>: save (via dump_stats) profile statistics to given
        filename. This data is in a format understood by the pstats module, and
        is generated by a call to the dump_stats() method of profile
        objects. The profile is still shown on screen.

        -q: suppress output to the pager.  Best used with -T and/or -D above.

        If you want to run complete programs under the profiler's control, use
        '%run -p [prof_opts] filename.py [args to program]' where prof_opts
        contains profiler specific options as described here.

        """Run the named file inside IPython as a program.

        Usage:\\
          %run [-n -i -t [-N<N>] -d [-b<N>] -p [profile options]] file [args]

        Parameters after the filename are passed as command-line arguments to
        the program (put in sys.argv). Then, control returns to IPython's
        prompt.

        This is similar to running at a system prompt:\\
          $ python file args\\
        but with the advantage of giving you IPython's tracebacks, and of
        loading all variables into your interactive namespace for further use
        (unless -p is used, see below).

        The file is executed in a namespace initially consisting only of
        __name__=='__main__' and sys.argv constructed as indicated. It thus
        sees its environment as if it were being run as a stand-alone program
        (except for sharing global objects such as previously imported
        modules). But after execution, the IPython interactive namespace gets
        updated with all variables defined in the program (except for __name__
        and sys.argv). This allows for very convenient loading of code for
        interactive work, while giving each program a 'clean sheet' to run in.

        Options:

        -n: __name__ is NOT set to '__main__', but to the running file's name
        without extension (as python does under import).  This allows running
        scripts and reloading the definitions in them without calling code
        protected by an ' if __name__ == "__main__" ' clause.

        -i: run the file in IPython's namespace instead of an empty one. This
        is useful if you are experimenting with code written in a text editor
        which depends on variables defined interactively.

        -e: ignore sys.exit() calls or SystemExit exceptions in the script
        being run.  This is particularly useful if IPython is being used to
        run unittests, which always exit with a sys.exit() call.  In such
        cases you are interested in the output of the test results, not in
        seeing a traceback of the unittest module.

        -t: print timing information at the end of the run.  IPython will give
        you an estimated CPU time consumption for your script, which under
        Unix uses the resource module to avoid the wraparound problems of
        time.clock().  Under Unix, an estimate of time spent on system tasks
        is also given (for Windows platforms this is reported as 0.0).

        If -t is given, an additional -N<N> option can be given, where <N>
        must be an integer indicating how many times you want the script to
        run.  The final timing report will include total and per run results.

        For example (testing the script uniq_stable.py)::

            In [1]: run -t uniq_stable

            IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
              User  :    0.19597 s.\\
              System:        0.0 s.\\

            In [2]: run -t -N5 uniq_stable

            IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
            Total runs performed: 5\\
              Times :      Total       Per run\\
              User  :   0.910862 s,  0.1821724 s.\\
              System:        0.0 s,        0.0 s.

        -d: run your program under the control of pdb, the Python debugger.
        This allows you to execute your program step by step, watch variables,
        etc.  Internally, what IPython does is similar to calling:

          pdb.run('execfile("YOURFILENAME")')

        with a breakpoint set on line 1 of your file.  You can change the line
        number for this automatic breakpoint to be <N> by using the -bN option
        (where N must be an integer).  For example::

          %run -d -b40 myscript

        will set the first breakpoint at line 40 in myscript.py.  Note that
        the first breakpoint must be set on a line which actually does
        something (not a comment or docstring) for it to stop execution.

        When the pdb debugger starts, you will see a (Pdb) prompt.  You must
        first enter 'c' (without quotes) to start execution up to the first
        breakpoint.

        Entering 'help' gives information about the use of the debugger.  You
        can easily see pdb's full documentation with "import pdb;pdb.help()"
        at a prompt.

        -p: run program under the control of the Python profiler module (which
        prints a detailed report of execution times, function calls, etc).

        You can pass other options after -p which affect the behavior of the
        profiler itself. See the docs for %prun for details.

        In this mode, the program's variables do NOT propagate back to the
        IPython interactive namespace (because they remain in the namespace
        where the profiler executes them).

        Internally this triggers a call to %prun, see its documentation for
        details on the options available specifically for profiling.

        There is one special usage for which the text above doesn't apply:
        if the filename ends with .ipy, the file is run as ipython script,
        just as if the commands were written on IPython prompt.

        -m: specify module name to load instead of script path. Similar to
        the -m option for the python interpreter. Use this option last if you
        want to combine with other %run options. Unlike the python interpreter
        only source modules are allowed no .pyc or .pyo files.
        For example::

            %run -m example

        will run the example module.

        module.

        Options:
        -n<N>: execute the given statement <N> times in a loop. If this value

        -r<R>: repeat the loop iteration <R> times and take the best result.

        -t: use time.time to measure the time, which is the default on Unix.
        This function measures wall time.

        -c: use time.clock to measure the time, which is the default on
        Windows and measures wall time. On Unix, resource.getrusage is used
        instead and returns the CPU user time.

        -p<P>: use a precision of <P> digits to display the timing result.

        The times reported by %timeit will be slightly higher than those
        reported by the timeit.py script when variables are accessed. This is
        due to the fact that %timeit executes the statement in the namespace
        of the shell, compared with timeit.py, which uses a single setup
        statement to import function or create variables. Generally, the bias
        does not matter as long as results from timeit.py are not mixed with
        those from %timeit."""

        Usage:\\

        Options:

          -r: use 'raw' input.  By default, the 'processed' history is used,
          so that magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid
          Python.  If this option is given, the raw input as typed as the
          command line is used instead.

        This will define a global variable called `name` which is a string
        made of joining the slices and lines you specify (n1,n2,... numbers
        above) from your input history into a single string. This variable
        acts like an automatic function which re-executes those lines as if
        you had typed them. You just type 'name' at the prompt and the code
        executes.

        The syntax for indicating input ranges is described in %history.

        Note: as a 'hidden' feature, you can also use traditional python slice
        notation, where N:M means numbers N through M-1.

        For example, if your history contains (%hist prints it)::

          44: x=1
          45: y=3
          46: z=x+y
          47: print x
          48: a=5
          49: print 'x',x,'y',y

        you can create a macro with lines 44 through 47 (included) and line 49
        called my_macro with::

          In [55]: %macro my_macro 44-47 49

        Now, typing `my_macro` (without quotes) will re-execute all this code
        in one pass.

        You don't need to give the line-numbers in order, and any given line
        number can appear multiple times. You can assemble macros with any
        lines from your input history in any order.

        The macro is a simple object which holds its value in an attribute,
        but IPython's display system checks for macros and executes them as
        code instead of printing them when you type their name.

        You can view a macro's contents by explicitly printing it with::

        """Bring up an editor and execute the resulting code.

        Usage:
          %edit [options] [args]

        %edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is
        set to call the editor specified by your $EDITOR environment variable.
        If this isn't found, it will default to vi under Linux/Unix and to
        notepad under Windows. See the end of this docstring for how to change
        the editor hook.

        You can also set the value of this editor via the
        ``TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`` option in your configuration file.
        This is useful if you wish to use a different editor from your typical
        default with IPython (and for Windows users who typically don't set
        environment variables).

        This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
        your IPython session.

        If called without arguments, %edit opens up an empty editor with a
        temporary file and will execute the contents of this file when you
        close it (don't forget to save it!).


        Options:

        -n <number>: open the editor at a specified line number.  By default,
        the IPython editor hook uses the unix syntax 'editor +N filename', but
        you can configure this by providing your own modified hook if your
        favorite editor supports line-number specifications with a different
        syntax.

        -p: this will call the editor with the same data as the previous time
        it was used, regardless of how long ago (in your current session) it
        was.

        -r: use 'raw' input.  This option only applies to input taken from the
        user's history.  By default, the 'processed' history is used, so that
        magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid Python.  If
        this option is given, the raw input as typed as the command line is
        used instead.  When you exit the editor, it will be executed by
        IPython's own processor.

        -x: do not execute the edited code immediately upon exit. This is
        mainly useful if you are editing programs which need to be called with
        command line arguments, which you can then do using %run.


        Arguments:

        If arguments are given, the following possibilities exist:

        - If the argument is a filename, IPython will load that into the
          editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
          loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.

        - The arguments are ranges of input history,  e.g. "7 ~1/4-6".
          The syntax is the same as in the %history magic.

        - If the argument is a string variable, its contents are loaded
          into the editor. You can thus edit any string which contains
          python code (including the result of previous edits).

        - If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
          IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
          editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
          to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
          edit it and have the file be executed automatically.

        - If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
          specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
          Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.

        Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
        editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
        '+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
        (X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.

        After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
        typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
        you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
        via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
        the output.

        Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.

        This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
        then modifying it. First, start up the editor::

          In [1]: ed
          Editing... done. Executing edited code...
          Out[1]: 'def foo():\\n    print "foo() was defined in an editing
          session"\\n'

        We can then call the function foo()::

          In [2]: foo()
          foo() was defined in an editing session

        Now we edit foo.  IPython automatically loads the editor with the
        (temporary) file where foo() was previously defined::

          In [3]: ed foo
          Editing... done. Executing edited code...

        And if we call foo() again we get the modified version::

          In [4]: foo()
          foo() has now been changed!

        Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
        times. First we call the editor::

          In [5]: ed
          Editing... done. Executing edited code...
          hello
          Out[5]: "print 'hello'\\n"

        Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _)::

          In [6]: ed _
          Editing... done. Executing edited code...
          hello world
          Out[6]: "print 'hello world'\\n"

        Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8])::

          In [7]: ed _8
          Editing... done. Executing edited code...
          hello again
          Out[7]: "print 'hello again'\\n"


        Changing the default editor hook:

        If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
        configuration file which you load at startup time.  The default hook
        is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
        starting example for further modifications.  That file also has
        general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
        defined it."""

        Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
        params' (from your underlying operating system).

        Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
        variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
        alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.

        You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
        whole line when the alias is called.  For example::

          In [2]: alias bracket echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
          In [3]: bracket hello world
          Input in brackets: <hello world>

        You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
        per parameter)::

          In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
          In [2]: %parts A B
          first A second B
          In [3]: %parts A
          Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
          parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'

        Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive.  You can only use one or
        the other in your aliases.

        Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !!
        do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded.  For details of
        the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
        http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.  This is the library used by
        IPython for variable expansion.  If you want to access a true shell
        variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by
        IPython::

          In [7]: PATH='A Python string'

          /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...

        You can use the alias facility to acess all of $PATH.  See the %rehash
        and %rehashx functions, which automatically create aliases for the
        contents of your $PATH.

        do 'cd -<tab>' to see directory history conveniently.

        Usage:

          cd 'dir': changes to directory 'dir'.

          cd -: changes to the last visited directory.

          cd -<n>: changes to the n-th directory in the directory history.

              'cd -b <tab>' allows you to tab-complete bookmark names.

        -q: quiet.  Do not print the working directory after the cd command is

        DEPRECATED. Suboptimal, retained for backwards compatibility.

        You should use the form 'var = !command' instead. Example:

         "%sc -l myfiles = ls ~" should now be written as

         "myfiles = !ls ~"

        myfiles.s, myfiles.l and myfiles.n still apply as documented
        below.

        --
        %sc [options] varname=command

        IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
        will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
        called varname, containing the value of the call.  Your command can
        contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.

        The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
        supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.

        (A special format without variable name exists for internal use)

        Options:

          -l: list output.  Split the output on newlines into a list before
          assigning it to the given variable.  By default the output is stored
          as a single string.

          -v: verbose.  Print the contents of the variable.

        In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
        returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
        provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
        space-separated string.  These are convenient, respectively, either
        for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.

        For example::

            # Capture into variable a
            In [1]: sc a=ls *py

            # a is a string with embedded newlines
            In [2]: a
            Out[2]: 'setup.py\\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'

            # which can be seen as a list:
            In [3]: a.l
            Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']

            # or as a whitespace-separated string:
            In [4]: a.s
            Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'

            # a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
            In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
              146 setup.py
              130 win32_manual_post_install.py
              276 total

            # while the list form is useful to loop over:
            In [6]: for f in a.l:
              ...:      !wc -l $f
              ...:
            146 setup.py
            130 win32_manual_post_install.py

        Similarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
        the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
        automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents::

            In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py

            In [8]: b
            Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']

            In [9]: b.s
            Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'

        In summary, both the lists and strings used for output capture have
        the following special attributes::

            .l (or .list) : value as list.
            .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
            .s (or .spstr): value as space-separated string.

        Notes:

        1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
        invoked.  That is, while::

          !ls

        causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing::

          !!ls

        is a shorthand equivalent to::

          %sx ls

        2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
        like '%sc -l'.  The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible

        This mode is intended to make IPython behave as much as possible like a

        and output look.  This makes it easy to copy and paste parts of a
        session into doctests.  It does so by:

        - Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
        - Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
        - Disabling pretty-printing of output.

        Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
        leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them.  This means that you can paste
        doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
        whitespace), and the code will execute correctly.  You can then use
        '%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
        input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
        can be pasted back into an editor.

        With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you
        need to do testing and changes to doctests, without having to leave
        your existing IPython session.

            In [1]: %config
            Available objects for config:
                TerminalInteractiveShell
                HistoryManager
                PrefilterManager
                AliasManager
                IPCompleter
                PromptManager
                DisplayFormatter

        To view what is configurable on a given class, just pass the class
        name::

            In [2]: %config IPCompleter
            IPCompleter options
            -----------------
            IPCompleter.omit__names=<Enum>
                Current: 2
                Choices: (0, 1, 2)
                Instruct the completer to omit private method names
                Specifically, when completing on ``object.<tab>``.
                When 2 [default]: all names that start with '_' will be excluded.
                When 1: all 'magic' names (``__foo__``) will be excluded.
                When 0: nothing will be excluded.
            IPCompleter.merge_completions=<CBool>
                Current: True
                Whether to merge completion results into a single list
                If False, only the completion results from the first non-empty completer
                will be returned.
            IPCompleter.limit_to__all__=<CBool>
                Current: False
                Instruct the completer to use __all__ for the completion
                Specifically, when completing on ``object.<tab>``.
                When True: only those names in obj.__all__ will be included.
                When False [default]: the __all__ attribute is ignored
            IPCompleter.greedy=<CBool>
                Current: False
                Activate greedy completion
                This will enable completion on elements of lists, results of function calls,
                etc., but can be unsafe because the code is actually evaluated on TAB.

        but the real use is in setting values::

            In [3]: %config IPCompleter.greedy = True

        and these values are read from the user_ns if they are variables::

            In [4]: feeling_greedy=False

            In [5]: %config IPCompleter.greedy = feeling_greedy
