bpython [options] [file [args]]
bpython-curses [options] [file [args]]
bpython-urwid [options] [file [args]]
The idea is to provide the user with all the features in-line, much like modernIDEs, 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 theinspect 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 entirecode. This is error-prone, and mostly useful for defining classes andfunctions.
- Pastebin code/write to file.
- This posts the current buffer to a pastebin (bpaste.net) or writes itto a file.
- Flush curses screen to stdout.
- Unlike other curses apps, bpython dumps the screen data to stdout when youquit, so you see what you've done in the buffer of your terminal.
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 tothe 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 ofexiting. 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 followingoptions:
| -pfile,--paste=file | |
| Paste in the contents of a file at startup. | |
In addition to the common options,:program:`bpython-urwid` also supports thefollowing options if Twisted is available:
| -r<reactor>,--reactor=<reactor> | |
| Use Twisted's <reactor> instead of urwid'sevent loop. | |
| --help-reactors | |
| Display a list of available Twistedreactors. | |
| -p<plugin>,--plugin=<plugin> | |
| Execute a:program:`twistd` plugin. Use:program:`twistd` to get a list of availableplugins. Use -- to pass options to theplugin. | |
| -s<port>,--server=<port> | |
| Run an eval server on port <port>. Thisoption forces the use of a Twisted reactor. | |
:program:`bpython`'s keys are fully configurable. Seehttp://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/configuration.html#keyboard

Your bpython config. See sample-config (in /usr/share/doc/bpython/examples onDebian) for various options you can use, or read:manpage:`bpython-config(5)`.
