"""Hooks for IPython.

In Python, it is possible to overwrite any method of any object if you really
want to.  But IPython exposes a few 'hooks', methods which are *designed* to
be overwritten by users for customization purposes.  This module defines the
default versions of all such hooks, which get used by IPython if not
overridden by the user.

Hooks are simple functions, but they should be declared with ``self`` as their
first argument, because when activated they are registered into IPython as
instance methods. The self argument will be the IPython running instance
itself, so hooks have full access to the entire IPython object.

If you wish to define a new hook and activate it, you can make an :doc:`extension
</config/extensions/index>` or a :ref:`startup script <startup_files>`. For
example, you could use a startup file like this::

    import os

    def calljed(self,filename, linenum):
        "My editor hook calls the jed editor directly."
        print "Calling my own editor, jed ..."
        if os.system('jed +%d %s' % (linenum,filename)) != 0:
            raise TryNext()

    def load_ipython_extension(ip):
        ip.set_hook('editor', calljed)
