Fernando's branch introduced the ability to run the test suite
from a top-level iptest.py script. This allowed IPython to be tested
without installation. The implementation was fragile and we also
decided that we *want* people to install IPython as part of testing
it, so we removed this feature.
* :mod:`IPython.testing.globalipapp` now directly creates a
:class:`~IPython.core.iplib.InteractiveShell` instance by passing it a
configuration object, rather than creating an IPython application.
* Updated everything in :mod:`IPython.frontend` and :mod:`IPython.gui` to use
raw :class:`~IPython.core.iplib.InteractiveShell directly rather than
creating an IPython application.
* Updated the IPython sphinx extension to use raw
:class:`~IPython.core.iplib.InteractiveShell directly rather than creating
an IPython application.
* Removed code from :mod:`IPython.extensions.pretty` that called
:func:`get_ipython` (r1271).
* Addressed comment on (r1284) about holding refs to deferreds in
:mod:`IPython.kernel.ipclusterapp`.
* Removed :mod:`IPython.kernel` from list of modules tested by nose in
:mod:`IPython.testing.iptest`. (r1318)
* 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 These modules have been replaced by topical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.
Added a module-level INSTALLED flag, which can be set to false if the test
suite is being run in-place (without ipython having been installed at all).
This is because how we call and import things must be done differently
depending on whether the code is installed or is being run in-place. The
only ones that can know this reliably are the entry-point scripts, so those
are responsible for setting this flag.
Also made the code that validates ipython in subprocesses report errors
better, by checking stderr for errors before validating stdout output, as
anything on stderr will be likely informative of the real problem.
Now, calling:
- 'python iptest.py' from source dir or from src/IPython/testing should give
the same results
- 'python iptest.py IPython.SOMETHING' from either place should also give
the same results.
I fond some spurious warnings on Fedora, extra noise on stdout and other
small problems this commit fixes.
The test suite now runs cleanly on Fedora11 without Twisted available.
Also clean up the handling of command-line options for iptest, so that all
options given at the top-level are correctly passed to nose.

installed.
Also activated testing.tools to be picked up by the test suite (was
excluded), this gives us a few more tests.
Status:
- On Linux, the full suite passes like before.
- On Win32, now that we have Twisted, we're seeing a few failures, because I
don't have the WinHPC server stuff. These should be easy for Brian to fix.
There are also two tests where the Skip nose exception isn't recognized by
Twisted, should also be easy. I'll file tickets for those.
After Brian's comments, I realized that our test machinery was NOT in
reality running all the ipython-syntax doctests we have. This is now fixed.
The test suite isn't completely passing, but this commit is for the
underlying machinery. I will now work on fixing as many broken tests as I
can.

A couple of issues came up:
* Some tests in testing and frontend rely on twisted, but are being
tested with nose. This is bad! We currently have hackish logic in
iptest to skip these if twisted is not installed, but if it is we
are testing them with nose!
* Some modules (engineservice, kernel/error, newserialized) have nose
skip logic even though they should never be tested with nose.
* When trial is run on testStrictDict we get an uncaught error.
testStrictDict ... ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing
input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (37, 0))
The main conflicts I had to fix were in ultratb. I have removed
the ultraTB.py in IPython/kernel/core. Now IPython/core/ultratb.py
is being used everywhere. Also I have protected the calls to ipapi.get
to see if None is returned. This happens when trial IPython.kernel
is run.
Check that wx.aui can be imported and otherwise exclude modules that use it to
avoid errors when loading the test suite.
Also, do load clearcmd so that the tests for %clear do work.
