"""Modified input prompt for entering quantities with units.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modify the behavior of the interactive interpreter to allow direct input of
|
|
|
quantities with units without having to make a function call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now the following forms are accepted:
|
|
|
|
|
|
x = 4 m
|
|
|
y = -.45e3 m/s
|
|
|
g = 9.8 m/s**2
|
|
|
a = 2.3 m/s^2 # ^ -> ** automatically
|
|
|
|
|
|
All other input is processed normally.

# This file is an example of how to modify IPython's line-processing behavior
|
|
|
# without touching the internal code. We'll define an alternate pre-processing
|
|
|
# stage which allows a special form of input (which is invalid Python syntax)
|
|
|
# for certain quantities, rewrites a line of proper Python in those cases, and
|
|
|
# then passes it off to IPython's normal processor for further work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# With this kind of customization, IPython can be adapted for many
|
|
|
# special-purpose scenarios providing alternate input syntaxes.

# IPython has a prefilter() function that analyzes each input line. We redefine

|
|
# it here to first pre-process certain forms of input
|
|
|
|
|
|
# The prototype of any alternate prefilter must be like this one (the name
|
|
|
# doesn't matter):
|
|
|
# - line is a string containing the user input line.
|
|
|
# - continuation is a parameter which tells us if we are processing a first line of
|
|
|
# user input or the second or higher of a multi-line statement.
