Support for creating GUI apps and starting event loops. |
|
|
|
IPython's GUI integration allows interactive plotting and GUI usage in IPython |
|
session. IPython has two different types of GUI integration: |
|
|
|
1. The terminal based IPython supports GUI event loops through Python's |
|
PyOS_InputHook. PyOS_InputHook is a hook that Python calls periodically |
|
whenever raw_input is waiting for a user to type code. We implement GUI |
|
support in the terminal by setting PyOS_InputHook to a function that |
|
iterates the event loop for a short while. It is important to note that |
|
in this situation, the real GUI event loop is NOT run in the normal |
|
manner, so you can't use the normal means to detect that it is running. |
|
2. In the two process IPython kernel/frontend, the GUI event loop is run in |
|
the kernel. In this case, the event loop is run in the normal manner by |
|
calling the function or method of the GUI toolkit that starts the event |
|
loop. |
|
|
|
In addition to starting the GUI event loops in one of these two ways, IPython |
|
will *always* create an appropriate GUI application object when GUi |
|
integration is enabled. |
|
|
|
If you want your GUI apps to run in IPython you need to do two things: |
|
|
|
1. Test to see if there is already an existing main application object. If |
|
there is, you should use it. If there is not an existing application object |
|
you should create one. |
|
2. Test to see if the GUI event loop is running. If it is, you should not |
|
start it. If the event loop is not running you may start it. |
|
|
|
This module contains functions for each toolkit that perform these things |
|
in a consistent manner. Because of how PyOS_InputHook runs the event loop |
|
you cannot detect if the event loop is running using the traditional calls |
|
(such as ``wx.GetApp.IsMainLoopRunning()`` in wxPython). If PyOS_InputHook is |
|
set These methods will return a false negative. That is, they will say the |
|
event loop is not running, when is actually is. To work around this limitation |
|
we proposed the following informal protocol: |
|
|
|
* Whenever someone starts the event loop, they *must* set the ``_in_event_loop`` |
|
attribute of the main application object to ``True``. This should be done |
|
regardless of how the event loop is actually run. |
|
* Whenever someone stops the event loop, they *must* set the ``_in_event_loop`` |
|
attribute of the main application object to ``False``. |
|
* If you want to see if the event loop is running, you *must* use ``hasattr`` |
|
to see if ``_in_event_loop`` attribute has been set. If it is set, you |
|
*must* use its value. If it has not been set, you can query the toolkit |
|
in the normal manner. |
|
* If you want GUI support and no one else has created an application or |
|
started the event loop you *must* do this. We don't want projects to |
|
attempt to defer these things to someone else if they themselves need it. |
|
|
|
The functions below implement this logic for each GUI toolkit. If you need |
|
to create custom application subclasses, you will likely have to modify this |
|
code for your own purposes. This code can be copied into your own project |
|
so you don't have to depend on IPython. |
