Are there instructions for getting PyReadline to work with IPython? I 
get the error saying python15.dll was not found.  Looking through the 
archives I found some instructions for creating libreadline.a using 
dlltool. What the heck is that?

Are there simple instructions somewhere?

Subject: [IPython-dev] Patch for IPython with color on Windows
Message-ID: <200311192109.hAJL9GFB003225@wren.cs.unc.edu>

I have attached a patch for IPython 0.5-cvs that, along with my 
readline package, will make IPython on Windows work like it does on 
more capable systems.

My readline code is available via CVS from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/uncpythontools/readline/
I use it inside and outside IPython and it seems to work fine.

I don't think these changes impact other platforms but I certainly 
could be wrong since I haven't tested anywhere else.

Most of the changes are of the form:

- print header,output,
+ print >>ColorTerm.out, header,output,

These send prints that could contain color escapes explicitly to a file 
object instead of relying on sys.stdout. ColorTerm.out and 
ColorTerm.err are initialized to sys.stdout and sys.stderr, so 
everything should work the same. On Windows, a user may optionally 
include the following in his IPYTHONDIR

enable_color.py
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'''Turn on the translation of ANSI color escapes for Windows'''

import IPython
import readline

out = readline.GetOutputFile()
IPython.genutils.ColorTerm.out = out
IPython.genutils.ColorTerm.err = out
del out
del readline
del IPython
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and this line in ipythonrc.ini

execfile enable_color.py

To translate ANSI color escapes into the proper colors on the Windows 
console. Without this it will work fine without color.

The second change included in these patches makes "less" work properly 
as the pager on Windows. I'm using the cygwin port of less. It doesn't 
want to work properly with popen2 so I added a clause to "page" in 
genutils to make it page from a file.

I'll be happy to help in any way I can to get these or some better 
variant into IPython.

Great!  After having ignored your work for so long, I'll try to do better this 
time.  I also have some other patches from Jeff Collins I need to look at, so 
it will be a good thing to wrap all this into a release.

We had some problems with our systems and are still recovering slowly, so my 
system access may be spotty for a few more days.  But I'll fold in Jeff's and 
your code, plus:

- the dreload patch
- I'll try to fix the gettext() bug
- I'll try to fix compatibility with Gnuplot.py v. 1.7, which changed a lot.

If we get all this, it will make a very nice new release, I think.  Please let 
me know of anything else anyone may think is immediately outstanding to put on 
this list.

I'll have a look at the code as is, and let you know if any changes are needed.

Many thanks,

Sorry but I don't have any idea, not using Windows myself.  I suspect you'd 
need to recompile against your current version of python, I imagine the error 
you saw means that was built against python 1.5.  This is a question for a 
user with good Windows experience, and that's not me, sorry.

Regards,

f.

Mathew,

Try this...

If you don't already have it, download and install ctypes from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71702

Then download and unzip my pure python readline from

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82407

In the resulting folder at a command prompt, type

python setup.py install

When you restart ipython (or python) for that matter. You should have a 
readline that works pretty much exactly like the gnu-readline with 
completion, history, etc.

Message-ID: <20031122141934.094363EB25@www.scipy.com>

Dear Kind hearted friend,

Please pardon me if I have intruded on your privacy. Though it may be 
surprising to you to have received this mail encompassing an investment 
proposal from me since you do not know me personally, however, I plead 
that you should give my case a hearing.

I am the first son of a late rich black farmer from Zimbabwe. My late 
father, Mr. Marcus Tekere was murdered as a result of his opposition to 
the much heralded politically motivated land dispute between white farmers 
and the Zimbabwean government headed by the much dreaded President Robert 
Mugabe. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through the 
usefulness of the internet via e-mail as it is the only means I can 
contact somebody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security 
and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.

The purpose of this letter like I did mention above is to seek your most 
needed assistance in a business venture as a partner in receiving the 
deposited consignment containing US$18.5 million made by my late father as a 
consignment  to an exclusively managed private security company based in 
the Netherlands. The total funds were proceeds from our business foreign 
accounts in banks, landed properties and selling of our shares in major 
companies. These funds when retrieved was to be used to start off a new 
business, purchase of lands, new machines and chemicals for establishment 
of new farms in Botswana or anywhere of my choice.

After the death of my father, I was continually threatened to abandon my 
inheritance and surrender everything to the government of Zimbabwe. I 
resisted for awhile, but when the danger became unbearable and I survived 
two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe to the Netherlands where I am seeking 
political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum was 
based on the fact that the securities company is located here in the 
Netherlands.

I need to transfer this money to a foreign account and invest part of it 
in any other good business besides farmlands since the law of the 
Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account 
or to be involved in any financial transaction. This is why I am seeking a 
genuine and reliable partner whose account this money can be transferred, 
hence this proposal to you. You have to understand that this is a genuine 
proposal which will mutually benefit us both. My future is based on the 
success of transaction between my party and the company and so, I urge you 
to take it very serious if you are interested. If you accept to assist me, 
the company will be legally informed of you representing me and all 
documentation procedure will commence with the assistance of my contact 
person in the Security Company.

For your assistance, a princely percentage of 25% of the funds have been 
mapped out as your commission. 70% of it is going to be the share coming 
to me and the rest of my family while the remaining 5% shall be set aside 
to take care of all expenses that might be incurred along the line by our 
two parties. I am ready to give a little more percentage on the condition 
that this transaction will be concluded in no distance time. As a sign of 
my open mindedness, I am ready also to entrust you with the investment of 
our own share in your country.

Please, kindly maintain absolute confidentiality in the course of the 
transaction for security reasons as I am still been haunted. I do not 
expect to hear from you if you are not interested, but if you are, kindly 
send your response with your phone number inclusive for further verbal 
communication with you. I hope the proposal is self explanatory and 
understandable.

I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance 
as I anticipate your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Tekere

Not yet.  But after a long hiatus, today I'm actually working on ipython.  So
expect it soon.  I'll post a report of what I put into CVS when I'm done
tonight or tomorrow.

Best,
