.*-
I'd like to submit this port (my first) for testing. I have built
and tested the port on i386-current; it works fine.
I'm a little uncertain regarding the versioning of this port, as
upstream released the most recent version as ipython-0.7.1.fix1.
I'm also not sure of the proper procedure for porting Python apps,
but I followed a few examples I found already in the ports tree.
Lastly, 'devel' seems an appropriate category, although 'shells'
might fit as well.
Thanks in advance for testing and feedback!
pkg/DESCR:
IPython provides a replacement for the interactive Python interpreter
with extra functionality.
Main features:
* Comprehensive object introspection.
* Input history, persistent across sessions.
* Caching of output results during a session with automatically
generated references.
* Readline based name completion.
* Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the
environment and performing many tasks related either to IPython or
the operating system.
* Configuration system with easy switching between different setups
(simpler than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every
time).
* Session logging and reloading.
* Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations.
* Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system.
* Easily embeddable in other Python programs.
* Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.
