"""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 need to put the necessary code into a python file which can be either imported or execfile()'d from within your ipythonrc configuration. For example, suppose that you have a module called 'myiphooks' in your PYTHONPATH, which contains the following definition: import os def calljed(self,filename, linenum): "My editor hook calls the jed editor directly." print "Calling my own editor, jed ..." os.system('jed +%d %s' % (linenum,filename)) You can then execute the following line of code to make it the new IPython editor hook, after having imported 'myiphooks': ip_set_hook('editor',myiphooks.calljed) The ip_set_hook function is put by IPython into the builtin namespace, so it is always available from all running code. $Id: hooks.py 988 2006-01-02 21:21:47Z fperez $""" #***************************************************************************** # Copyright (C) 2005 Fernando Perez. # # Distributed under the terms of the BSD License.
