ipipe patch 5 from Walter Doerwald, featuring: Change the way padding is done in ibrowse: Instead of creating a string long enough to fill the rest of the colum even if this column is much to long for the screen, only create a pad string large enough for the visible part. This speeds up scrolling with very long columns. Implement a workaround for eval() not accepting non-dicts as namespaces. (Patch contributed by Torsten Marek) xiter() now directly supports dictproxies, so e.g. "int.__dict__ | ibrowse" works. xrepr() has been rewritten as a generator (and all __xrepr__() methods too): This has two advantages: 1) xrepr() of large datastructure are usable now, because the generator is abandoned after "enough" output has been generated (defaults to 200 characters). 2) xrepr() methods can now return styles for each part of their output. xrepr() is used everywhere now: in the header and footer (like before) but also in the table cells. For this two new xrepr() modes habe been added: "cell" for an object in a ibrowse table cell and "default" which must be used as the mode in recursive calls to xrepr() (this returns a representation that has the most similarity to a normal repr()). Removed the special treatment of lists and tuples in xattrs(). If you want to see the list or tuple simply enter it. This is again done to keep ibrowse useable even with large data structures. Add a class List as a replacement for the old functionality (icsv needs this).

Notes for Windows Users
=======================
These are just minimal notes. The manual contains more detailed
information.
Requirements
------------
IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
- Windows XP, 2000 (and probably WinNT): works well. It needs:
* PyWin32, the win32 Python extensions from
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond.
* Gary Bishop's readline from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools.
* This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes.
- Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test.
- CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix.
It needs Python 2.3 or newer.
Installation
------------
Double-click the supplied .exe installer file. If all goes well, that's all
you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu.
Installation from source distribution
-------------------------------------
In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can
download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source
distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files).
After uncompressing the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just
like any other Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this
completes, you can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which
will add the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu.
Optionally, you may skip installation altogether and just launch "ipython.py"
from the root folder of the extracted source distribution.
