Sommaire

NAME

bpython - a fancy curses interface to the Python interactive interpreter

SYNOPSIS

bpython rc-file

DESCRIPTION

The idea is to provide the user with all the features in-line, much like modern IDEs, but in a simple, lightweight package that can be run in a terminal window.

* In-line syntax highlighting.

Hilights commands as you type!
* Readline-like autocomplete with suggestions displayed as you type.
Press tab to complete expressions when there's only one suggestion.
* Expected parameter list.
This displays a list of parameters for any function you call. It uses the inspect module, then tries pydoc.
* Rewind.
This is a bit misleading, but it code that has been entered is remembered, and when you Rewind, it pops the last line and re-evaluates the entire code. This is error-prone, and mostly useful for defining classes and functions.
* Pastebin code/write to file.
This posts the current buffer to a pastebin (rafb.net/paste for now) or writes it to a file.
* Flush curses screen to stdout.
Unlike other curses apps, it dumps the screen data to stdout when you quit, so you see what you've done in the buffer of your terminal.

KEYS

<C-d> Exit
Exits the interpreter, like normal interactive Python.
<C-r> Rewind
Rewinds and "undoes" the last statement, read DESCRIPTION for more info.
<F2> Save
Saves the current buffer to a file.
<F8> Pastebin
Posts the current buffer to http://rafb.net/paste (will probably become configurable), and displays the URL.
<Tab> Autocomplete
If there's an unambigious completion of the expression, fill it in.

KNOWN BUGS

Triple quoted strings over multiple lines work, but they're not highlighted properly.
