Hi,
I have been using leo for some years now (thanks for your good work,
by the way), and I have only recently started to look into the ipython
bridge. I like it a lot, but there seems to be a couple of gottchas.
The main thing that bothers me is that it seems not possible to use
ipython in pylab mode (at least with qtGui). Adding "@string
ipython_argv=ipython -pylab" to the settings does nothing.
I looked into qtGui.py and noticed that the line for taking into
account ipython_argv was commented out:
#args = c.config.getString('ipython_argv')
args = None
if args is None:
argv = ['leo.py', '-p', 'sh']
sys.argv = argv
ses = IPython.ipapi.make_session()
I tried to hard-code the pylab mode by replacing argv = ['leo.py', '-
p', 'sh'] with argv = ['leo.py',,'-pylab','-p', 'sh'] , but it only
partially worked: the pylab namespace is indeed imported, but using
the plot command does not display anything.
Is this a known bug with the qt plugin? (which would explain why the
line for using ipython_argv is commented out in qtGui.py). In that
case, I would suggest to at least mention it in the docs where the
examples about using the pylab mode are provided. And I hope it will
get fixed soon (pylab+ipython+leo seems an promising combination
indeed).
I tried to launch leo in Tk-mode to check if the bug was only related
to qtGui, but I realized I had no idea on how to do that. If it is not
in the doc (it might be: i didn't do an extensive search), it would be
worth mentioning.
Also, I am not sure weather it is a bug or a feature, but i noticed
that, when i use, for example, the command wb.foo.v="bar", the node
"foo" is created, in the outline, as a child of the currently
selected node. I would have expected wb.foo to create always a top-
level node, and wb.toto.foo to create, for example, the node "foo" as
a child of the node "toto".
Sincerely,
Fab
