One is the inability to do -sane multi-line editing. Have you ever typed something like: -</p> -<pre> ->>> for i in range(10): -... for i in range(10): -... print i*j -</pre> -<p> +sane multi-line editing. Have you ever typed something like:: + + >>> for i in range(10): + ... for i in range(10): + ... print i*j + into a Python top-level? Grr, that "i" on the second line should have been a "j". Wouldn't it be nice if you could just press "up" on your keyboard and fix it? This was one of the aims I kept in mind when -writing pyrepl (or pyrl as I used to call it, but that name's <a -href="http://www.algonet.se/~jsjogren/oscar/cython/";>taken</a>). -</p> -<p> +writing pyrepl (or pyrl as I used to call it, but that name's +`taken <http://www.algonet.se/~jsjogren/oscar/cython/>`_). + Another irritation of readline is the GPL.

If you're used to readline's emacs-mode, you should feel right at home. One point that might confuse: because the arrow keys are used to move up and down in the command currently being edited, you need to use ^P and ^N to move through the history. -</p> -<p class="header"> -<<a href="../index.html">home</a>> -<<a href="../personal.html">personal</a>> -<hacks> -<<a href="../links.html">links</a>> -<<a href="../quotes.html">quotes</a>> -<<a href="../details.html">details</a>> -<<a href="../summaries/index.html">summaries</a>> -</p> -<address> -<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer";> - <img class="w3link" - src="http://validator.w3.org/images/vxhtml10"; - alt="Valid XHTML 1.0!" /> - </a> - <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer";> - <img class="w3link" - src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss.gif"; - alt="Valid CSS!" /> -</a> -Last updated: $Date: 2002/12/12 11:52:29 $.
