This is a manual merge of certain things in the ipython1-dev branch, revision 46, into the main ipython branch. This is not a true merge in the formal sense because all history is not coming over with the files. For a detailed history of the added files, please see the ipython1-dev branch or the svn repository on scipy.org that ipython1-dev came from. More specifically, here is what I have done in this commit: 1) Moved the following by hand ipython1.config -> IPython.config ipython1.kernel -> IPython.kernel ipython1.external -> IPython.external ipython1.core -> IPython.kernel.core ipython1.testutils -> IPython.testing ipython1.tools -> IPython.tools 2) Moved IPython.tools.guid -> IPython1.external.guid 3) Renamed: ipython1 -> IPython IPython.core -> IPython.kernel.core IPython.testutils -> IPython.testing 4) Then did a "bzr add" for all the new stuff. That is all folks!
