Out not working with ipythonx

[Thomas Kalka]

I am using ipython 0.9.1, installed by easy_install under ubuntu 8.10

after invoking ipythonx

the Out-dict is always empty:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 5 2008, 19:24:49)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

%quickref -> Quick reference.

object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

This is the wx frontend, by Gael Varoquaux. This is EXPERIMENTAL code.

Hi gael, just to keep a trace:

I've got same problem with ipython-wx.

Digged a little:
iplib.py:369: self.output_hist = {}
iplib.py:389: self.user_ns['_oh'] = self.output_hist
iplib.py:394: self.user_ns['Out'] = self.output_hist

Right now, can't find from my quick dig where self.output_hist is refreshed :/
Will try to find, think we've got the same issue there.

AFAIK, the output_hist is refreshed in the display hook. There is nothing
we can do to fix this without refactoring ipython. I am saying this from
emory, though, so I could be wrong.
