bpython looks sweet

[Tim Kersten]

I just discovered http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/ 5 minutes ago.

Syntax highlighting, autocompleting and call-hinting interactive python shell (and more.)

For those with ubuntu 9.10, you can: sudo apt-get install bpython

Now, my question is - does it support vi mode? :P Or rather, does
having vi mode set in your .inputrc mess things up (I see some stuff
in the screenshots like C-r for doing reverse searches, so it makes me
think of emacs modes, hence the question)

Hey,

Cheers for that... its great!
I think it just "renewed" my intrest in Python for "live
scripting".. ;-)

Now how to embed those features into a Python Interpreter inside C++
program...
Great fun!

Doesn't look like it :-( see: http://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/issue/39/readline-keybindings-do-not-work

Nope, at least not for the few minutes I've been using it. (I also use vi mode)

C-r in bpython doesn't do a reverse search. See "Rewind" on http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/about/
