bpython manual page
===================
Synopsis
--------
**bpython** [*options*] [*file* [*args*]]
**bpython-curses** [*options*] [*file* [*args*]]
**bpython-urwid** [*options*] [*file* [*args*]]
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.
Highlights 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 (bpaste.net) or writes it
to a file.
Flush curses screen to stdout.
Unlike other curses apps, bpython dumps the screen data to stdout when you
quit, so you see what you've done in the buffer of your terminal.
Options
-------
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent.
If :program:`bpython` sees an argument it does not know, execution falls back to
the regular Python interpreter.
The following options are supported by all frontends:
--config=<config> Use <config> instead of default config file.
-h, --help Show the help message and exit.
-i, --interactive Drop to bpython shell after running file instead of
exiting. The PYTHONSTARTUP file is not read.
-q, --quiet Do not flush the output to stdout.
-V, --version Print :program:`bpython`'s version and exit.
-l <level>, --log-level=<level> Set logging level
-L <file>, --log-output=<file> Set log output file
In addition to the above options, :program:`bpython` also supports the following
options:
-p file, --paste=file Paste in the contents of a file at startup.
In addition to the common options, :program:`bpython-urwid` also supports the
following options if Twisted is available:
-r <reactor>, --reactor=<reactor> Use Twisted's <reactor> instead of urwid's
event loop.
--help-reactors Display a list of available Twisted
reactors.
-p <plugin>, --plugin=<plugin> Execute a :program:`twistd` plugin. Use
:program:`twistd` to get a list of available
plugins. Use -- to pass options to the
plugin.
-s <port>, --server=<port> Run an eval server on port <port>. This
option forces the use of a Twisted reactor.
Keys
----
:program:`bpython`'s keys are fully configurable. See
http://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/configuration.html#keyboard
Files
-----
**$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config**
Your bpython config. See sample-config (in /usr/share/doc/bpython/examples on
Debian) for various options you can use, or read :manpage:`bpython-config(5)`.
Known bugs
----------
See http://github.com/bpython/bpython/issues/ for a list of known issues.

This manual page was written by Jørgen Pedersen Tjernø <jorgen@devsoft.no>,
for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
