bpython v0.9.7 Release Notes
-
🚀 Well guys. It's been some time since the latest release, six months have passed We have added a whole slew of new features, and closed a number of bugs as well.
We also have a new frontend for bpython. Marien Zwart contributed a urwid frontend as an alternative for the curses frontend. Be aware that there still is a lot to fix for this urwid frontend (a lot of the keyboard shortcuts do not yet work for example) but please give it a good spin. Urwid also optionally ↔ integrates with a Twisted reactor and through that with things like the GTK event loop.
At the same time we have done a lot of work on the GTK frontend. The GTK frontend is now 'usable'. Please give that a spin as well by running bpython-gtk on you system.
We also welcome a new contributor in the name of Michele Orrù who we hope will help us fix even more bugs and improve functionality.
As always, please submit any bugs you might find to our bugtracker.
- Pastebin confirmation added; we were getting a lot of people accidentally pastebinning sensitive information so I think this is a good idea.
- Don't read PYTHONSTARTUP when executed with -i.
- 🔀 BPDB was merged in. BPDB is an extension to PDB which allows you to press B in a PDB session which will let you be dropped into a bpython sessions with the current PDB locals(). For usage, see the documentation.
- 0️⃣ The clear word shortcut (default: C-w) now deletes to the buffer.
- ✅ More tests have been added to bpython.
- The pastebin now checks for a previous paste (during the session) with the exact same content to guard against twitchy fingers pastebinning multiple times.
Let import completion return "import " instead of "import".
