There's nothing there we should be running python tests on, and
occasionally python files may appear there that cause problems to nose
(e.g. mathjax ships a non-py3 valid conf.py that breaks py3 testing).
Add %%octave, %octave, %octave_pull and %octave_push magics to facilitate interaction with Octave via oct2py. This is similar in spirit to the R magic extension.
Rmagic extension to use R (the statistical package) seamlessly from IPython.
The rmagic extension allows R inline code as well as cell level magics. An example notebook is provided in docs/examples/notebooks/rmagic_extension.ipynb to demonstrate its usage.
Main points:
1) Allows capture of plots to R via inline png plots (like --pylab inline)
2) Allows capture of R's stdout() connection to the notebook
3) Allows simple push/pull for array data to/from R (via rpy2) with copy only on push to R -- this seems necessary.
Cython related magic functions: offers the new cell magics %%cython_inline, %%cython_pyximport and %%cython to make it very easy to put cython-accelerated code in a cell and have it loaded interactively.
The History will always appear empty, so history magics, etc. don't do anything. Readline history for a single session works fine.
Test suite should now pass without sqlite
* test_for uses import_item, instead of __import__
* test_for now allows a callback, for processing the result of import_item prior to comparison with min_zmq
* callback is only called when min_zmq is defined
* callback's default is to just return mod.__version__
* use this to check tornado version, and zmq as a version tuple
* fix pexpect check to use external.pexpect
IPDoctest replaces the normal doctest plugin. Previously we did this by
initializing the builtin plugins but skipping the doctest plugin.
However, if the user has a noserc file with 'with-doctest=1' or the
environment variable 'NOSE_WITH_DOCTEST', then nose will try and
initialize the doctest plugin when it isn't there, and barf. This
commit defers the removal of the doctest plugin to the configuration
stage, so doctest can be enabled before it is thrown away by us.
