Classes

IPShellTwisted

class IPython.twshell.IPShellTwisted(argv=None, user_ns=None, debug=1, shell_class=<class 'IPython.twshell.TwistedInteractiveShell'>)

Run a Twisted reactor while in an IPython session.

Python commands can be passed to the thread where they will be executed. This is implemented by periodically checking for passed code using a Twisted reactor callback.

__init__()

TIMEOUT = 0.01

mainloop()

run()

TwistedInteractiveShell

class IPython.twshell.TwistedInteractiveShell(name, usage=None, rc=Struct({'__allownew': True, 'args': None, 'opts': None}), user_ns=None, user_global_ns=None, banner2='', **kw)

Bases: IPython.iplib.InteractiveShell

Simple multi-threaded shell.

__init__()

Similar to the normal InteractiveShell, but with threading control

isthreaded = True

kill()

Kill the thread, returning when it has been shut down.

runcode()

Execute a code object.

Multithreaded wrapper around IPython’s runcode().

runsource()

Compile and run some source in the interpreter.

Modified version of code.py’s runsource(), to handle threading issues. See the original for full docstring details.

Functions

IPython.twshell.hijack_reactor()

Modifies Twisted’s reactor with a dummy so user code does not block IPython. This function returns the original ‘twisted.internet.reactor’ that has been hijacked.

NOTE: Make sure you call this AFTER you’ve installed the reactor of your choice.

IPython.twshell.install_gtk2()

Install gtk2 reactor, needs to be called bef
