"""Module for interactive demos using IPython.
This module implements a few classes for running Python scripts interactively
in IPython for demonstrations. With very simple markup (a few tags in
comments), you can control points where the script stops executing and returns
control to IPython.
The classes are (see their docstrings for further details):
- Demo: pure python demos
- IPythonDemo: demos with input to be processed by IPython as if it had been
typed interactively (so magics work, as well as any other special syntax you
may have added via input prefilters).
- LineDemo: single-line version of the Demo class. These demos are executed
one line at a time, and require no markup.
- IPythonLineDemo: IPython version of the LineDemo class (the demo is
executed a line at a time, but processed via IPython).
The file is run in its own empty namespace (though you can pass it a string of
arguments as if in a command line environment, and it will see those as
sys.argv). But at each stop, the global IPython namespace is updated with the
current internal demo namespace, so you can work interactively with the data
accumulated so far.
By default, each block of code is printed (with syntax highlighting) before
executing it and you have to confirm execution. This is intended to show the
code to an audience first so you can discuss it, and only proceed with
execution once you agree. There are a few tags which allow you to modify this
behavior.
The supported tags are:
# <demo> --- stop ---
Defines block boundaries, the points where IPython stops execution of the
file and returns to the interactive prompt.
# <demo> silent
Make a block execute silently (and hence automatically). Typically used in
cases where you have some boilerplate or initialization code which you need
executed but do not want to be seen in the demo.
# <demo> auto
Make a block execute automatically, but still being printed. Useful for
simple code which does not warrant discussion, since it avoids the extra
manual confirmation.
# <demo> auto_all
This tag can _only_ be in the first block, and if given it overrides the
individual auto tags to make the whole demo fully automatic (no block asks
for confirmation). It can also be given at creation time (or the attribute
set later) to override what's in the file.
While _any_ python file can be run as a Demo instance, if there are no stop
tags the whole file will run in a single block (no different that calling
first %pycat and then %run). The minimal markup to make this useful is to
place a set of stop tags; the other tags are only there to let you fine-tune
the execution.
This is probably best explained with the simple example file below. You can
copy this into a file named ex_demo.py, and try running it via:
from IPython.demo import Demo
d = Demo('ex_demo.py')
d() <--- Call the d object (omit the parens if you have autocall set to 2).
Each time you call the demo object, it runs the next block. The demo object
has a few useful methods for navigation, like again(), edit(), jump(), seek()
and back(). It can be reset for a new run via reset() or reloaded from disk
(in case you've edited the source) via reload(). See their docstrings below.
#################### EXAMPLE DEMO <ex_demo.py> ###############################
'''A simple interactive demo to illustrate the use of IPython's Demo class.'''
print 'Hello, welcome to an interactive IPython demo.'
# The mark below defines a block boundary, which is a point where IPython will
# stop execution and return to the interactive prompt.
# Note that in actual interactive execution,
# <demo> --- stop ---
x = 1
y = 2
# <demo> --- stop ---
# the mark below makes this block as silent
# <demo> silent
print 'This is a silent block, which gets executed but not printed.'
# <demo> --- stop ---
# <demo> auto
print 'This is an automatic block.'
print 'It is executed without asking for confirmation, but printed.'
z = x+y
print 'z=',x
# <demo> --- stop ---
# This is just another normal block.
print 'z is now:', z
print 'bye!'
