;;; ipython.el --- Adds support for IPython to python-mode.el ;; Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Alexander Schmolck ;; Author: Alexander Schmolck ;; Keywords: ipython python languages oop ;; URL: http://ipython.scipy.org ;; Compatibility: Emacs21, XEmacs21 ;; FIXME: #$@! INPUT RING (defconst ipython-version "$Revision: 2232 $" "VC version number.") ;;; Commentary ;; This library makes all the functionality python-mode has when running with ;; the normal python-interpreter available for ipython, too. It also enables a ;; persistent py-shell command history across sessions (if you exit python ;; with C-d in py-shell) and defines the command `ipython-to-doctest', which ;; can be used to convert bits of a ipython session into something that can be ;; used for doctests. To install, put this file somewhere in your emacs ;; `load-path' [1] and add the following line to your ~/.emacs file (the first ;; line only needed if the default (``"ipython"``) is wrong):: ;; ;; (setq ipython-command "/SOME-PATH/ipython") ;; (require 'ipython) ;; ;; Ipython will be set as the default python shell, but only if the ipython ;; executable is in the path. For ipython sessions autocompletion with ;; is also enabled (experimental feature!). Please also note that all the ;; terminal functions in py-shell are handled by emacs's comint, **not** by ;; (i)python, so importing readline etc. will have 0 effect. ;; ;; To start an interactive ipython session run `py-shell' with ``M-x py-shell`` ;; (or the default keybinding ``C-c C-!``). ;; ;; NOTE: This mode is currently somewhat alpha and although I hope that it ;; will work fine for most cases, doing certain things (like the ;; autocompletion and a decent scheme to switch between python interpreters) ;; properly will also require changes to ipython that will likely have to wait ;; for a larger rewrite scheduled some time in the future. ;; ;; Also note that you currently NEED THE CVS VERSION OF PYTHON.EL. ;; ;; Further note that I don't know whether this runs under windows or not and ;; that if it doesn't I can't really help much, not being afflicted myself. ;; ;; ;; Hints for effective usage ;; ------------------------- ;; ;; - IMO the best feature by far of the ipython/emacs combo is how much easier it ;; makes it to find and fix bugs thanks to the ``%pdb on``/ pdbtrack combo. Try ;; it: first in the ipython to shell do ``%pdb on`` then do something that will ;; raise an exception (FIXME nice example) -- and be amazed how easy it is to ;; inspect the live objects in each stack frames and to jump to the ;; corresponding sourcecode locations as you walk up and down the stack trace ;; (even without ``%pdb on`` you can always use ``C-c -`` (`py-up-exception') ;; to jump to the corresponding source code locations). ;; ;; - emacs gives you much more powerful commandline editing and output searching ;; capabilities than ipython-standalone -- isearch is your friend if you ;; quickly want to print 'DEBUG ...' to stdout out etc. ;; ;; - This is not really specific to ipython, but for more convenient history ;; access you might want to add something like the following to *the beggining* ;; of your ``.emacs`` (if you want behavior that's more similar to stand-alone ;; ipython, you can change ``meta p`` etc. for ``control p``):: ;; ;; (require 'comint) ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta p)] ;; 'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input) ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta n)] ;; 'comint-next-matching-input-from-input) ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta n)] ;; 'comint-next-input) ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta p)] ;; 'comint-previous-input) ;; ;; - Be aware that if you customize py-python-command previously, this value ;; will override what ipython.el does (because loading the customization ;; variables comes later). ;; ;; Please send comments and feedback to the ipython-list ;; () where I (a.s.) or someone else will try to ;; answer them (it helps if you specify your emacs version, OS etc; ;; familiarity with might ;; speed up things further). ;; ;; Footnotes: ;; ;; [1] If you don't know what `load-path' is, C-h v load-path will tell ;; you; if required you can also add a new directory. So assuming that ;; ipython.el resides in ~/el/, put this in your emacs: ;; ;; ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/el") ;; (setq ipython-command "/some-path/ipython") ;; (require 'ipython) ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; TODO: ;; - do autocompletion properly ;; - implement a proper switching between python interpreters ;; ;; BUGS: ;; - neither:: ;; ;; (py-shell "-c print 'FOOBAR'") ;; ;; nor:: ;; ;; (let ((py-python-command-args (append py-python-command-args ;; '("-c" "print 'FOOBAR'")))) ;; (py-shell)) ;; ;; seem to print anything as they should ;; ;; - look into init priority issues with `py-python-command' (if it's set ;; via custom) ;;; Code (require 'cl) (require 'shell) (require 'executable) (require 'ansi-color) (defcustom ipython-command "ipython" "*Shell command used to start ipython." :type 'string :group 'python) ;; Users can set this to nil (defvar py-shell-initial-switch-buffers t "If nil, don't switch to the *Python* buffer on the first call to `py-shell'.")
