[IPython-user] profile and logplay

[Johann Cohen-Tanugi]

hi Fernando, thanks for saving this old message from of oblivion....
So here is my test profile :

[cohen@jarrett test]$ more ipy_profile_test.py
import IPython.ipapi
ip = IPython.ipapi.get()

ip.ex("print '*****************************************************'")
ip.ex("print '* TEST *'")
ip.ex("print '*****************************************************'")

ip.ex("import os")

and here is the still problematic sequence :
[cohen@jarrett test]$ ipython -profile test -log

[cohen@jarrett test]$

looking at the log file I see :
[cohen@jarrett test]$ more ipython_log.py
#log# Automatic Logger file. *** THIS MUST BE THE FIRST LINE ***
#log# DO NOT CHANGE THIS LINE OR THE TWO BELOW
#log# opts = Struct({'__allownew': True, 'log': 1, 'logfile': 
'ipython_log.py', 'profile': ''})
#log# args = []
#log# It is safe to make manual edits below here.
#log#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
os.path.exists('ipython_log.py')

So the 'import os' statement present in the profile does not seem to 
have been honored when the log file is replayed.... pretty weird.
I pulled out of my recent build the files ipythonrc and ipy_user_conf to 
make sure I was in synch with recent versions of these files. So I have 
a test directory with these 2 files and the ipy_profile_test.py and I 
set IPYTHONDIR to point to this test directory, which is actually not 
necessary because that is the dir I am working in.

Voila.... I still see this problem, and it is very weird because the 
*TEST* printout onscreen proves that the profile file is read back at 
replay so that the last command ip.ex("import os") should also be 
honored! Note that, though I don't understand the internals of this 
logging  mechanism, I notice that the log file does not mention that a 
specific profile was used.... which looks to me as a potential flaw, no?

thanks,
Johann
