$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config
The configuration file contains various options controlling the behaviour of bpython.
This refers to the [general] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config file.
Display the autocomplete list as you type (default: True). When this is off, you can hit tab to see the suggestions.
There are three modes for autocomplete. simple, substring, and fuzzy. Simple matches methods with a common prefix, substring matches methods with a common subsequence, and fuzzy matches methods with common characters (default: simple).
New in version 0.12.
Syntax highlighting as you type (default: True).
Display the arg spec (list of arguments) for callables, when possible (default: True).
History file (default: ~/.pythonhist).
The time between lines before pastemode is activated in seconds (default: 0.02).
Number of lines to store in history (set to 0 to disable) (default: 100)
Soft tab size (default 4, see pep-8)
The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has to be a pastebin which uses LodgeIt. Examples are: http://paste.pocoo.org/xmlrpc/ and http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/ (default: http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/)
If the pastebin supports a private option to make a random paste id, use it. Default: True).
New in version 0.12.
The url under which the new paste can be reached. $paste_id will be replaced by the ID of the new paste. Examples are: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/ and http://paste.pocoo.org/show/$paste_id/ (default: http://bpaste.net/show/$paste_id/)
The name of a helper executable that should perform pastebin upload on bpython’s behalf. If set, this overrides pastebin_url. It also overrides pastebin_show_url, as the helper is expected to return the full URL to the pastebin as the first word of its output. The data is supplied to the helper via STDIN.
An example helper program is pastebinit, available for most systems. The following helper program can be used to create gists:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import urllib2
import json
def do_gist_json(s):
""" Use json to post to github. """
gist_public = False
gist_url = 'https://api.github.com/gists'
data = {'description': None,
'public': None,
'files' : {
'sample': { 'content': None }
}}
data['description'] = 'Gist from BPython'
data['public'] = gist_public
data['files']['sample']['content'] = s
req = urllib2.Request(gist_url, json.dumps(data), {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
try:
res = urllib2.urlopen(req)
except HTTPError, e:
return e
try:
json_res = json.loads(res.read())
return json_res['html_url']
except HTTPError, e:
return e
if __name__ == "__main__":
s = sys.stdin.read()
print do_gist_json(s)

See Themes for more information.
Color schemes should be put in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/. For example, to use the theme $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/foo.theme set color_scheme = foo
Leave blank or set to “default” to use the default (builtin) theme.
Whether to flush all output to stdout on exit (default: True).
Whether to append .py to the filename while saving the input to a file.
New in version 0.13.
This section refers to the [keyboard] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config.
You can set various keyboard shortcuts to be used by bpython. However, we have yet to map all keys to their respective control codes. If you configure a key combination which is not yet supported by bpython it will raise an exception telling you the key does not exist in bpython.keys.
Valid keys are:
Default: <F8>
Default: C-y
Pastes the current line from the buffer (the one you previously cutted)
This refers to the [cli] section in your config file.
Default: 0.8
The width of the suggestion window in percent of the terminal width.
New in version 0.9.8.
This refers to the [gtk] section in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config file.
This refers to the [curtsies] section in your config file.
New in version 0.13.
Default: False
Whether bpython should clear the screen on start, and always display a status bar at the bottom.
Default: False
When there is space above the current line, whether the suggestions list will be displayed there instead of below the current line.
