I'm pleased to announce a new version of my pyrepl package. Here's an excerpt from the README: This is pyrepl 0.6, a readline-a-like for Python, which seems to be being released on 2001-11-27. http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/pyrepl.html It requires python 2.1 (or newer) with the curses and termios modules built, and features (in less than 3000 lines of code): * 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. * generally speaking, a much more interactive experience than readline (it's a bit like a cross between readline and emacs's mini-buffer) [...] Please direct comments to mwh@python.net. (If you've released open source software you'll know how frustrating it is to see a couple of hundred downloads and only get a handful of emails, so don't think I'll be irritated by the banality of your comments!) New since 0.5.1: + Rewrote the low level code to be (hopefully) more portable and (certainly) clearer. Most of the code from 0.5.1 is still present, but it's been moved around and refactored (and the names have gotten more sensible). + The above process fixed a fair few bugs. + Implemented a few more emacs-mode bindings. + Nailed another couple of differences between my top-level and the the default one, including playing nice with Tk. + Implemented a saner way of handling window resizes (a sane way of handling signals! Call the Unix police!) + minimal testing on cygwin. [...] Cheers, M. -- 3. Syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon. -- Alan Perlis, http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/perlis-alan/quotes.html
