bpython VS ipython

bpython over built-in Python interpreter

Yeah, also it's worth to mention bpython

I use bpython, its a pretty cool python REPL, try it out

Yeah, mostly I lack time to catch up with Jonathan Slenders works, and have stronger backward compatibility requirements. b=But ptpython and pyipython are both great.

I should also look into Rich and Textual

https://bpython-interpreter.org/ is also another alternative python shell, and of course https://xon.sh

It's a nicer repl for python.

Python comes with IDLE as /usr/bin/idle but it doesn't have a corresponding .desktop file that would let it appear in the application menu. Otherwise, /usr/bin/python has an interactive mode and bpython is a wrapper around that interactive mode that has like syntax highlighting, indenting, undo, etc.

So, in this article, we will discuss bpython-django a fork from bpython that handles Django in a better way, currently it handles Models and can be extended as desired.

Someone posted bpython which I'm pretty ecstatic about but always good to know options.

Pickling + unpickling the object is a neat trick to update objects to point to the new methods, but it's even more straightforward to just patch `obj.__class__ = reloaded_module.NewClass`. This is what ipython's autoreload extension used to do, though nowadays it's had some improvements over this approach: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/14500

If you’re already using ipython, this isn’t a problem because you’ll already need to download most of these dependencies anyway. But if you’re not using ipython… you’ll still need to download those dependencies.

!pip install is error-prone, it is better to use %pip install, ipython even warns about this, https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12954/

The git history (here is the git blame) shows it has not been updated in 9 year. Looks like a documentation issue that you should open an issue against.

Do you know IPython? It is a modern Python console that extends the capabilities of the classic builtin Python shell by offering introspection, tab completion, syntaxing coloring, as well as history. If you don't know it, I can't recommend it enough. More information can be found in its GitHub page.

There is an IPython ticket on GitHub on the topic, but it's unclear if the problem has been solved.

For further documentation on ipython using the CLI, you can refer to the GitHub link or the documentation page.

There’s one I’ve come across recently here where you’re fighting against syntax highlighting with extra error context. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13446#issuecomment...
