Reinteract 0.5.9 released
Owen Taylor
Reinteract. This is basically a beta candidate for an 0.6.0 release,
since there's a lot of new features and the Mac and Windows installers
haven't had much testing.

Windows Installer:(Requires Python 2.7)
http://www.reinteract.org/download/windows/Reinteract-0.5.9-python2.7.msi
Mac Installer: (Requires Python 2.6)
http://www.reinteract.org/download/osx/Reinteract-0.5.9.dmg
I've tested the Windows installer on Windows 7, and the Mac installer
on OS X 10.5. Testing results on a wider range of systems would be
appreciated!
Other than fixing up problems people find, what I'm planning to do
before the 0.6.0 release is: a) add a Export to PDF menu item b) work
more with sizing of sidebar results c) do something reasonable for
printing of sidebar results.
New Functionality
=================
* Support for printing worksheets and libraries. (Jorn Baayen, Me)
* Add a 'build' keyword that groups a block of statements, and outputs
a specified value after the block executes. For example:
build replot.Axes() as p:
p.plot(...)
p.plot(...)
* Initial support for sidebars: if a custom result has a 'display'
property, with a value of 'side', then the result is shown in a
resizable sidebar to the side of the worksheet contents. replot.Axes
now has support for creating such a result:
build replot.Axes(display='side') as p:
p.plot(...)
* When an error occurs, highlight the particular line within a
multiline statement that triggered the error. (Me, Robert Schroll)
* Handle Unicode worksheet content.
* Handle notebooks and worksheets with unicode names. (Jorn Baayen)
* For non-Reinteract files in a notebook, launch them with the system
default handler. (Robert Schroll)
* Add support for decorators. (Robert Schroll)
* On OS X, the Python framework to use can now be specified using a
pythonFrameworkDir user default.
(defaults write org.reinteract.Reinteract pythonFrameworkDir <location>)
Functionality for Reinteract Extensions
=======================================
* The CustomResult class now has a print_result() method that can be
used to implement printing for custom result widgets.
* Allow modules to export "wrapper" functions:
If a module directly imported by a worksheet has a a method called
__reinteract_wrap__ then it will be called for each result and if it
returns something other than None, then that will be used in
preference to the result. The idea here is to allow certain types of
results to be automatically bundled up in a CustomResult for display.
* Add a reinteract.custom_result.ResultWidget that can be derived for
for automatic tracking of DPI. (Jorn Baayen)
* Add reinteract.statement.Statement.get_current(), so modules can
have access to the currently executing statement.
Behavior changes
================
* Don't execute open worksheets when a notebook is loaded. (Robert Schroll)
* Automatically watch for changes to the notebook on disk using GIO
directory monitors. (Robert Schroll, Me)
* Allow executing a worksheet only up to the current cursor line using
shift-Return or KP_Enter. (Robert Schroll)
<shift>Return Calculate to insert point
<control>Return Calculate whole worksheet
<control><alt>Return Calculate all worksheets
Additionally, <control>KP_Enter acts like <control>Return and
KP_Enter and <shift>KP_Enter act like <shift>Return.
* Support <Alt>digit for switching between different open files.
(Suggestion by Antti Kaihola.)
* When an executing worksheet is closed, show a dialog and wait rather
than letting it run unchecked in the background.
* Methods that begin with get/is/has are assumed to be getters that
don't mutate the object.
* Statements that have with a result other than None now only output
at the toplevel, not within functions and class definitions. (Me,
Robert Schroll)
* When editing inside a parenthesized expression or after a \, just
copy the indentation level from the previous line - don't always go
back to a four-space indent. (Robert Schroll)
* Scroll to make the result visible after a computation. (Robert Schroll)
* When the user selects within a single result, allow cutting and
pasting that, even though results are ignored when copying a larger
selected area that contains both code and results. (Robert Schroll)
* Hide the cursor when executing a notebook. (Robert Schroll)
* Reinteract now does a better job at understanding when two
references to the the same name reference the variable are the same or
not, avoiding spurious warnings about mutated variables.
* We now require Python 2.6 and PyGObject 2.16
Bug fixes
=========
* Use glib.get_user_special_dir(glib.USER_DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS) instead
of hardcoding ~/Documents. (Joerg Bornschein)
* Fix problems with completion popups going off the screen. (Robert Schroll, Me)
* Fix handling of functions with docstrings. (Suggestion by Antti Kaihola.)
* Fix memory leaks when closing worksheets and windows.
* Use 'is None' and 'is not None' (Suggestion by Jonathan Griffitts)
* Bug fixes for deletion, reindentation, highlighting results needing
recomputation, opening notebooks that have been deleted, display of
worksheet modification times. (Robert Schroll)
* Mousewheel scrolling now works anywhere in a documentation tooltip
(Robert Schroll)
* Clean up tabs and spaces in the codebase. (Joerg Bornschein)
* Fixes for reloading modules and for cleaning up after failed
imports. (Reloading problems reported by Laser Yuan)
* Many other bug fixes

1st, i appreciates to this project and i would like to says thanx you,
this is apps were i looking for a year as a python user.
i succesfully install Reactive 0.5 with Python 2.6.1, when i'm looking
for printing features with this updates new version, i remove with
Python 2.7.1/2.7.2 but i got nothing to works with Reactive
interfaces. what Python versions required? please describe exactly
since it has sensitive dependency.

I'm glad you like Reinteract and thanks for trying out the new version!
- What are the details of your operating system?
- What happens when you run Reinteract?
On both the Mac and Windows, works with Python 2.7.2 from
http://www.python.org/download/ in my testing.

thanx for quick responds, apologizes for two times i makes wrong typos
about the program names. i'm really new, exciting and reply too
quickly.
i remove previous version including python then follow above step you
describes, add path. still not works, start from menu just displaying
sand glass timer process for a second than gone nothing happen (no
error messages, no Reinteract interfaces). try to run from command
prompt, i got this error messages:
C:\Program Files\Reinteract\bin>python Reinteract.pyw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Reinteract.pyw", line 32, in <module>

File "C:\Program Files\Reinteract\external\gtk\__init__.py", line
40, in <module>
from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
how do i fix it? please guide me i need to printing features with this
new versions.

Hmm; this implies that some dependency that the GTK+ python module
needs is missing from your system.
- What version of windows are you using?
- Does the file 'libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll' exist within C:\Program
Files\Reinteract\bin ?

Hmm, I can't even guess what that would do. (Is 'D' a typo?) In
theory, every Notebook object is encapsulated, and if you created a
new one from within a worksheet, that should have no effect on the
worksheet. I could imagine there might be some leakage though...

Would the RFE in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659341
handle what you are looking for, or is it more complicated than that?

with reinteract, then i turning back to an old versions, i did not
looking precisely about gtk dll on bin directory. i'll try another
time and giving a details for what you've been mentions. thanx you -

Firstly thank you very much for producing a great program. I found it
a few years ago and it was extremely helpful in weening me off of
Matlab while I was still getting used to Python syntax. I still use it
regularly as a quick way to run what-if experiments and work out
programming puzzles.
I recently upgraded to a new computer so I am running Windows 7
Professional 64 bit. I've installed the 64 bit version of Python 2.7.2
along with the 64 bit versions of the numpy and friends. I was very
excited to see the new version of re-interact for use with Python 2.7.
However I cannot get it to run normally, here is the issues I'm
having:
If I run the Reinteract.exe I simply get a "Application was unable to
start correctly (0xC000007B)." error.
If I run Reinteract.pyw the frame comes up but before it is populated
with widgets the "pythonw.exe has stopped working" dialog pops up.
If I use windbg to run pythonw.exe reinteract.pyw use F5 repeatedly
then everything pops up okay and if I break and detach from the
process I have a fully functional reinteract-0.5.9-python2.7 (which is
awesome).
I don't really know how to use windbg to tell me what went wrong but
this method of running reinteract is really painful. Any assistance
would be appreciated.
(Though I have it install currently without the local libraries it
does not work when installed with private copies of the gui. I do not
remember if you could run it through windbg when using the private
libraries)
Thanks again

regularly over the last few years and it was very helpful in switching
from Matlab to Python. I also use it regularly to try out code
snippets and run short experiments.
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Professional 64Bit and
installed Pyhton 2.7.2 64Bit along witht the 64 bit version of numpy
and friends.
I was excited to see the new Reinteract but when I installed it I had
the following problems:
If I run reinteract.exe I simply get a "Application was unable to
start correctly (0xx000007b)." error.
If I run reinteract.pyw I get the "pythonw.exe has stopped working"
error with an empty gui fram in the background.
If I run reinteract.pyw through windbg I can hold F5 to continue then
break and detach and I am left with a functional reinteract.
I don't know enough about windbg to understand if it is telling me
what the problem is but this is as you would expect a pretty annoying
way to have to start a program I would like to use regularly.
I have installed it with and without the private copies of the
libraries with similar results. Other pyGTK programs seem to run
though I do not have an extensive library of them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Would you be able to try removing the 64-bit version of Python and
installing the 32-bit version? It seems googling around that this
error is related to mixtures of 32-bit and 64-bit code, and the
installer is built against 32-bit Python, partly to get maximum
compatibility, and partly due to limited availability of prebuilt
binaries of pygtk for Win64. (I'm sure I can figure out how to build
my own, but it's a lot of work.)

64bit pyGTK from:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
This was a great site it made it pretty easy to download all the 64
bit libraries. Perhaps they were not as well done as I had hoped.
I can try it again in 32bit but I'll have to wait until I finish my
defense in a few weeks since it is a pretty major undertaking.
Thank you again for the feedback.

This was very useful - I added these 4 files and the gio package and
tested after removing all sources from my machine and it seems to work
fine, at least on my Windows 7 / 64bit machine.
Thanks for investigating,
