pyrepl-0.7

[Michael Hudson]

It's taken waay to long, but I've finally released a new version of
pyrepl, imaginatively called pyrepl 0.7.

From the README:

This is pyrepl 0.7, a readline-a-like in Python.

http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/pyrepl.html

It requires python 2.1 (or newer) with either the curses and termios
modules built or pygame, and features:

* sane multi-line editing
* history, with incremental search
* completion, including displaying of available options
* a fairly large subset of the readline emacs-mode keybindings
(adding more is mostly just a matter of typing)
* a liberal, Python-style, license
* a new python top-level
* no global variables, so you can run two or more independent readers
without having their histories interfering.
* no hogging of control -- it should be easy to integrate pyrepl into
YOUR application's event loop.
* generally speaking, a much more interactive experience than readline
(it's a bit like a cross between readline and emacs's mini-buffer)

There are probably still a few little bugs & misfeatures, but _I_ like
it, and use it as my python top-level most of the time.

To get a feel for it, just execute:

$ python pythoni

(One point that may confuse: because the arrow keys are used to move
up and down in the command currently being edited, you need to use ^P
and ^N to move through the history)

I seem to have forgotten to mention the prototypical new pygame
console, probably one of the more interesting things in this release...

Cheers,
M.

And now I've released 0.7.1 which has a working setup.py.

Sorry about that.

Cheers,

Stop me if this is getting monotonous, but I've released yet another
version of my library for building interactive command line interfaces,
this time hopefully with fewer typos and silly errors.

Get it here:
