Not that I know of.

By the way, in case you haven't set it up a shortcut to Console that 
starts up IPython, I did it like this:

I created a shortcut to console in my start menu:

Properties|Shortcut
Target: "C:\Program Files\Console2\Console.exe"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\Console2"

Then in Console, under Edit|Settings|Tabs

Create a tab with
Main|Title & icon|Title: iPython
Shell|Shell: C:\PYTHON25\Scripts\ipython.exe -pylab -wthread -p pylab
Shell|Startup dir: C:\Python25

I thought the console was the only way to use IPython. I go to 
Start->Allprograms->IPython, and select IPython. Oh, I see *Console" is 
something of a replacement for the Win Cmd Console. Is there some site 
that shows off it's features?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] I Need a Couple of Tips for Windows to Get Started on IPython

2009-12-07 Thread Wayne Watson 
OK, here I go. Quick Edit is checked, and I'm running from what looks 
like the Win XP command console. I am not in full screen mode. I've 
applied changes to the window. It has scroll bars side and bottom. I've 
moused the area, and now am going to Edit on the window menu. It works!  
I just pasted it into a txt file. Thanks. Pretty convoluted, but it works.

Is it possible to paste from outside? For example copy and paste from a 
txt file.

In Windows I recommend running iPython inside Console 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/>
particularly for its vastly improved copy and pasting.

Right-click does nothing on the IPython window.

The Windows command console is, I think, a lost cause all together. I've 
tried a right-click on it with the same result as in IPython.
I'm using Win XP, and I hope they improve on Win 7, which I plan to 
install on all my machines this month.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] I Need a Couple of Tips for Windows to Get Started on IPython

2009-12-07 Thread Wayne Watson 
Hi, I'm using IPython raw. I guess I'm not sure what a shell is in this
case. I used to work with Linux years ago and the shell concept was
clear there. I'm now simply a Win XP user. What advantages would be
available to use a shell?

In part of the thread above,(posted 57 minutes after the hour, I asked
how copy and paste operate? Quick IPyton seems to think it works quite
like a Win copy and paste. It doesn't work for me.

Below you've manage to post a session. How did that happen? Is there a
file that I can pick up that contains the log? From the ref manual, I
see this:
===


  Manual capture of command output¶
 


If the input line begins with two exclamation marks, !!, the command is
executed but its output is captured and returned as a python list, split
on newlines. Any output sent by the subprocess to standard error is
printed separately, so that the resulting list only captures standard
output. The !! syntax is a shorthand for the %sx magic command.

Finally, the %sc magic (short for ‘shell capture’) is similar to %sx,
but allowing more fine-grained control of the capture details, and ...
===end

Maybe this is somehow you did it?

Copy and paste from a Windows command shell is different that copy and paste
from *nix command shell.

Right-click in the command window
Choose Mark from the drop-down menu
Select the (rectangular) region of text you want to copy.
Hit Return.

That does a copy operation.  Then go to your other application, and paste
however you like.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] I Need a Couple of Tips for Windows to Get Started on IPython

2009-12-07 Thread Wayne Watson 
Well, that's interesting, but how did you copy and paste?
Quick Python offers this, but no explanation how to copy and paste.
The %hist command can show you all previous input, without line numbers 
if desired (option -n) so you can directly copy and paste code either 
back in IPython or in a text editor. You can also save all your history 
by turning on logging via %logstart; these logs can later be either 
reloaded as IPython sessions or used as code for your programs.
Aside from that, here's an example of what I'd like to copy. If it 
doesn't make it through, it's just a screen capture of part of the 
window's contents show the result of ls, cd, etc.

Good. Thanks. Interesting that ls and pwd are used for Win, but that's 
fine. How do I copy parts of the window?  All I can do at the moment is 
sweep out a rectangular area with the mouse. It looks like I 
underestimated the need for  automagic.

2009-12-06 Thread PHobson 
Wayne,

Are you using the IPython shell? If so, cd, pwd, ls, etc will work just fine.

If you using the standard python shell, AFAIK, you need to import the os module 
and use that to navigate.

Ipython session:
C:\Documents and Settings\phobson>ipython
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help  -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

In [1]: pwd
Out[1]: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\phobson'

In [2]: cd c:\stuff\utils\py
c:\stuff\utils\py

In [3]: pwd
Out[3]: 'c:\\stuff\\utils\\py'

In [4]: cd c:\
c:\

In [5]: cd c:\stuff\utils\py

In [6]: ls *.pdf
 Volume in drive C has no label.

[Matplotlib-users] I Need a Couple of Tips for Windows to Get Started on IPython

2009-12-06 Thread Wayne Watson 
I've seen the tutorial, but need something more. How do I know what 
folder I'm in? How do I move from where I am to, for example, 
C:\abc\def? So far I've tried various combinations like this:

cd ..
cd C:\
pwd (yes, I know it's not windows)

I tried %cd .., and that may have moved me but I seem to get back to the 
same place.

I seem to be in  C:\Documents and Settings\administrator. If I doa %cp 
..\\ it looks like I get to C:\, but follwing that with pwd gets me back 
to where I started--C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.

If I want to execute a program with %run, I need to be where abc.py is 
or, perhaps say something like %run C:\myPyPrograms\abc.py.
Dir doesn't work and I haven't been able to even see what's in the folder.
