Hi all,

Without making any commitments or declaring whether these two features are
a good idea, here are a few thoughts:

* For paging through the pop-up docstrings the biggest thing that comes to
mind is deciding on keybindings
* For vim bindings: this is a larger project but certainly doable. It's not
been on my agenda because there are other projects that have done a decent
job of it (ptpython in particular), and it's sort of a never-ending effort
once you start down the vim path :)  I believe Julian has looked at this a
bit as per https://github.com/bpython/bpython/issues/429

I'd defer to Sebastian and Andreas for whether these features belong and
interest in the donation-driven approach.

Noel, to make sure we're on the same page: can I assume you're using the
newest release of bpython, 0.15?
