The PDF docs are huge, take forever to build and aren't particularly
useful in practice being so unwieldy. We can always build and
manually upload a static copy if there's demand, but they don't really
serve much useful purpose anymore and bloat our downloads.
* Make Start menu item include Python version and bit-ness (prevents clobbering)
* don't ask setuptools to install pyreadline on 64b Windows, due to pyreadline bug #787574
This uses the tool to record the commit data from our previous commit,
and ensures that auto-generated archives from Github, for example,
always carry identifying information.
Ideas and code taken from Matthew Brett's tools in nibabel.
* Added comment about Magic(object) (r1224)
* Moved InteractiveTB.set_mode from IPythonApp -> InteractiveShell (r1229)
* Moved pylabtools.py to IPython/lib (r1229)
* Cleaned up comments and copyrights in testing (r1233)
* Added comment about ip.shell._ofind (r1237)
* Removed "Bye." from quitter (r1240).
* Refactored and removed :mod:`IPython.utils.genutils` and
:mod:`IPython.utils.platutils`. These modules have been replaced by topical
focused modules in :mod:`IPython.utils`.
* Refactored tests in :mod:`IPython.utils.tests`.
* Moved :func:`IPython.testing.tools.temp_pyfile` to :mod:`IPython.utils.io`.
* Moved :func:`IPython.testing.tools.cmd2argv` to
:func:`IPython.testing.tools.pycmd2argv` and documented the fact that this
only works with Python based command line programs.
* Created a new :func:`IPython.utils.path.get_ipython_module_path` to use
in finding paths to IPython modules.
* The IPControllerApp now uses ApplicationWithDir to manage the app_dir.
* The setup.py script and ipcontroller script have been updated to use
the new IPControllerApp.
* launch_new_instance created and being used.
The ipapi.py module has been completely deprecated as of this point.
No new code should use it and all existing code that uses it will
migrate away from it. The launch_new_instance function has
been moved to ipapp and the setup.py scripts have been updated.
the full tree of our rst docs are not included in the data_files. Not sure if/how
we want to handle that. It was easy when we had a single file documentation, but
not we have a full directory hierarchy full of rst files.
to work fine.
I have also gone through the tests in various subpackages (like kernel) and have protected imports of
twisted, zope.interface and foolscap with a try/except clause. Now the tests are simply not run
if these deps are missing. All tests now pass no matter what.
that have been merged. I am also bringing in a new way for checking dependencies at
build time that is simple, but really helpful now that we have lots of optional
dependencies.
