Add missing man pages contributed by Debian's Stephan Peijnik. This is an initial import of missing man pages taken verbatim from: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/ipython/trunk/debian/ This starts to close this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/291143 I wanted this commit to be purely an import of Stephan's documentation unmodified. I've made some edits to the man pages to update them for 0.10, that will go in the next commit.

;;; 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)
