"""An example of how to embed an IPython shell into a running program.

Please see the documentation in the IPython.Shell module for more details.

The accompanying file example-embed-short.py has quick code fragments for
embedding which you can cut and paste in your code once you understand how
things work.

The code in this file is deliberately extra-verbose, meant for learning."""

# The basics to get you going:

# IPython sets the __IPYTHON__ variable so you can know if you have nested
# copies running.

# Try running this code both at the command line and from inside IPython (with
# %run example-embed.py)

# configuration can thus be specified here.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# More details:

# InteractiveShellEmbed instances don't print the standard system banner and
# messages. The IPython banner (which actually may contain initialization
# messages) is available as get_ipython().banner in case you want it.

# InteractiveShellEmbed instances print the following information everytime they
# start:

# - A global startup banner.

# - A call-specific header string, which you can use to indicate where in the
# execution flow the shell is starting.

# They also print an exit message every time they exit.

# Both the startup banner and the exit message default to None, and can be set
# either at the instance constructor or at any other time with the
# by setting the banner and exit_msg attributes.

# The shell instance can be also put in 'dummy' mode globally or on a per-call
# basis. This gives you fine control for debugging without having to change
# code all over the place.

# The code below illustrates all this.


# This is how the global banner and exit_msg can be reset at any point
ipshell.banner = 'Entering interpreter - New Banner'
ipshell.exit_msg = 'Leaving interpreter - New exit_msg'

def foo(m):
    s = 'spam'
    ipshell('***In foo(). Try %whos, or print s or m:')

def bar(n):
    s = 'eggs'
    ipshell('***In bar(). Try %whos, or print s or n:')
    print 'bar says n = ',n
    
# Some calls to the above functions which will trigger IPython:
print 'Main program calling foo("eggs")\n'
foo('eggs')

# The shell can be put in 'dummy' mode where calls to it silently return. This
# allows you, for example, to globally turn off debugging for a program with a
# single call.
ipshell.dummy_mode = True
print '\nTrying to call IPython which is now "dummy":'

# The global 'dummy' mode can still be overridden for a single call
