bpython [options] [file [args]]
bpython-gtk [options] [file [args]]
bpython-urwid [options] [file [args]]
bpython-curtsies [options] [file [args]]
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.
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent. If bpython sees an argument it does not know, execution falls back to the regular Python interpreter.
--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 bpython‘s version and exit. |
In addition to the above options, 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 twistd plugin. Use 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 options forces the use of a Twisted reactor. |
bpython-gtk also supports the following options:
--socket-id=<socket-id> | |
Embed bpython. |
bpython‘s keys are fully configurable. See http://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/configuration.html#keyboard
