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.
