restoring the default completer in IPython

This should probably go to the IPython list, but since I am not
subscribed I will try my luck here.
Basically, I want to embed IPython inside a command line interpreter
based on cmd.Cmd, in this
way:

import cmd, IPython

class Cmd(cmd.Cmd):
def do_ipython(self , arg):
ipython = IPython.Shell.I PShellEmbed()
ipython(global_ ns=globals())
def do_EOF(self, arg):
return 1

Cmd().cmdloop()

It works, however when I exit from the IPython shell (after giving the
ipython command) the Cmd
class is still using the IPython readline completer, not the original
one. By looking at the source
code of IPShellEmbed I see that there is a
method .restore_system _completer() which is
called, but it seems to be not working. I am probably doing something
wrong, can somebody knowledgeable on IPython internals share some
light on that? TIA,

Michele Simionato

Hi, I'm new to python, and ipython, but not to programming, having trouble getting ipython installed on windows 2000, python 233. Any help would be much appreciated; I'm sure I'm being some basic flavor of dense... First downloaded and installed PythonWin, readline and ctypes. They're all pretty clearly here and working, because I can run PythonWin, and from there, importing readline and ctypes works. Then downloaded ipython-0.6.6.zip...

I've written an article on IPython which is now live on O'Reilly's ONLamp site at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2005/01/27/ipython.html. All feedback is welcome. Regardless of what you may think of the article, I hope it encourages everyone to at least try out IPython. IPython has become an indispensible tool in my toolbox. I cannot say enough great things about it. Jeremy Jones

It appears that doctest does not work straightforwardly within iPython. I would like to be able to use doctest within a file conditionally, so that I can develop it within ipython and test it otherwise. It would seem that this would work: Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10) on darwin

I installed the SciPy superpackage and have pylab, matplotlib, scipy, and numpy apparently running well. But I want to use matplotlib/pylab interactively. The instructions suggest doing this in IPython. But using ipython on the command line gives me an error. The system doesn't know the command. Apparently there is no ipython executable in one of the bin directories. I thought the superpackage would add that automatically, but I...

Hi, How is the default path chosen in this instance: myFile = file('test.txt','w') Here I'm opening/creating a file but I have not specified the exact path, so how does Python determine where to 'put' this file? More to the point, how do I change what the default path is? Right now it's a networked drive that should not be getting my Python clutter.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
